moon

This was shot during the afternoon on Saturday - I just thought it was weird that the moon was out during the day. Especially so early....

Shot using a 200mm and hand held too. I need a 400mm lens now! lol

Finally, after what feels like months of illness I am able to post again! Here is Cholmondeley Castle in England. It's actually still lived in by the family and (if they're out?) you're able to go inside.

Unfortunately not this day! But, I've got a run of outside shots coming… :^)

Good to be back !

This pic was taken with my 50mm lens and a couple of magnifier filters stacked. It's just some daft gizzmo thingy in a plant pot but I thought it'd make a nice pic! ;o)

BTW, a mega HUGE thank you to you all for my last upload. Wow I've got thousands of views and dozen of group invites.. Amazing response and it sure has inspired me in so many ways. So thank you ALL :-)

One I made in photoshop on my Mac. Taken during a rather foggy day and layered into something rather special.

Seems to be a big hit on Flickr. Had the Explore pages too :-)

I pushed my camera into ISO1600 for all the indoor shots at Dunham Massey ... Topaz DeNoise helped greatly !

Some of the fortress remains of Beeston Castle, England.

The sky is totally fake of course, as the real thing was so dull & grey! Thanks for viewing :)
