Went out again (feel like been spoilt two days shooting) today took the eldest to teach him composition (my version) and he loved the walk and the fungi (sharing tomo) .. Well to round the day off we went to Silloth beach and watched the sunset sadly most were not very good shots however we ended up helping recue some people who got stuck omn the flats in their Landrover with the tide coming in ... exciting but also nerve wracking in the dark thankfully all were safe and the costguard got the car out before the tide turned too.... guess what I was told off for trying to get some shots of the action !!! grrrr

here's the shots anyhoo (scuse the waffling)

The silhuoette is Scotland not sure where exactly will look into it.

The Woods near home juuust before spotting the PRIVATE signs and disappearing quickly

More from Aira Force this one I liked but the next Please view Large in Flickr just click the image and go have a look was amazed by the detail that was picked up...

only cropped and I think a saturation adjustment but I think the settings were wrong as it was not as sharp as I expected so that might have done it.. will go check the EXIF now for you.

*runs back in* Nope this was HDR first on the new camera have to bracket manually so that was why is softer
