Default A Walk by the Lakeside..

So today's sunset looked like it would be a deep coloured one so off to try the sunset setting and have a play about with more settings to see what my new toy can do ,,, was a bit disappointed as there were tourists galore in shot all the time and the yachtas seemed to take up too much room too ... but muttering aside some turned out ok I edited the first to bring out the boats a bit more. the rest are Sooc.

Hope you enjoy as most of the shots were too blurry once I messed with some settings DOH !

A break water come fence thingy... (technical huh)


A Yacht small one as it was the only one I could get without twenty others in shot


Some quality time being spent here


Sadly Dad needs to learn more fishing as the only thing he got was a snagged line but I reckon neither cared with the time they had together. I just liked the vibrancy of the net on the ground...Hope you enjoyed

I think you did good !! Love the first shot, the composition and colors are great. I like the sillouette (sp) in the 2nd and the feeling in the 3rd. I remember many days spent with my son when he was little when I knew nothing about fishing, but just wanted to spend time with him. He grew up to now be teaching me all about how to fish lol

These sunsets give off a lovely peaceful feel FoG. Nice silhouettes and great composition too. I love the first one but all of them are excellent.

Dave.
