I’m off

Mallard taking off after I spooked it walking down a lane by a lough.  A quick grab shot and worked it in a couple of processes, one monochrome and then a colour process to add a warmth to it. Namely Silver Efex Pro 2 for the B & W and Color Efex Pro 4.

Thank you for viewing.

Me,swans and sunsets

365src03.10.2016.JPG

This last week has been great for sunset’s and living around water you get the best from them. Grabbing a fold up camping stool and the tripod I went to the lough down the road from me. with dusk closing the colour’s were deepening. Then two swans swam out from the reeds and one came straight in front of me, how could I resist.

This photo has had no colour adjustments it’s has recorded.

Lough mist

I’m lucky that where I live has a large number of these small loughs. The cool nights brings lovely morning mists over the loughs. Here we have the last of the mist has it gets burned off by the sun. I love down by the loughs with the wildlife and birds calling and rumbling around the undergrowth. Just to sit and watch the landscape as it gets painted has the mist lifts, its priceless. At this lough the hill in the photo is topped with a fairy fort, a circle of trees.

Thank you for visiting

Tones of autumn

The autumn/fall colours are starting to show or in B & W the range of tones on a plant has increased. The trees are just starting to turn except the horse chestnut which is one of the first to show its winter colours. No idea what this plant is but the range of colour/tones is good.

Thank you for viewing.
