Default My weekend's work...

Having not managed much photography over the weekend, I did at least manage to get out later on Sunday afternoon. A few of the better ones I got below...

All of these are beautiful! My particular favorite is the summer house. I love the texture of the wood.

Martin, these captures are amazing. I have to say though the flower is outstanding. I thought mine was ok on flickr but this one is so gorgeous and I love the perspective in the second one it is awesome. The eyes are led right out to the beautiful view at the end. I love them all Martin. Excellent work.

Say Hi to Mrs Potterm.

Dave.

I love the "Summer House"( and it's not because my name is Summer either... ) The tone is so warm and welcoming and the wood grain texture is beautiful.

Hi Martin - these are exceptional images .. I really enjoy the 2pillar photos .. I think its the angle you took it from .. the people in the bg look like midgets .. and of course the flower takes first prize .. very nice

These are really nice. I like the flower alot but, the porch is a first rate image. Love how it frames the yard. Nice going.

Hey thanks Dave. Yes I sure will. No out of the two I think your flower on Flickr is the winner. Cheers buddy.

Thank you corry. Yes the summer house is HDR - the only way to get the inside detail and outside view exposed properly at the same time.

Thankyou Hayward. Ha ha - yes that effect on the people didn't occur to me at first. Thanks for your comments.

Thanks very much Fred. As always the comments are appreciated.

Martin.

P.S. Just about to leave for a four day golf trip, so if anyone else replies and I don't answer then it's not that I'm being ignorant - just that I don't think I'll have access to the net before Sunday, so will catch up then. Thanks once again for your comments everyone.
