Thank you all for your kind words, how did I miss the Falkirk wheel? I drove past it twice yesterday! I was too busy trying to get to that new statue in Cumbernauld before the snow came back on!
Most of my pics from yesterday are now in an album on my profile page, hope you like these too, and thanks again!
Lovely set of pics, really sshows what an e-620 is capable of producing - I take boring bird pics - these are excellent and jump out at you. I like the second one best, for the composition.
Hi,Your photos look fantastic but can you enlighten me to what HDR is and how i can get some cheers Crawford.
Well, I only found out myself about four months ago, but, briefly, it stands for High Dynamic Range, and means you end up with a picture containing as much detail as your naked eye picks out of a scene.
A single photo will expose for whatever you are aiming your focus on, missing details in the dark and bright areas. To get round this, you take several photos of the same scene, either by auto bracketing, or better yet using a tripod and taking a series at different exposure levels, either by altering the aperture or the shutter speed. The idea being you get an underexposed shot with all the colour in the sky, a correctly exposed shot, and finally an overexposed shot with all the detail hiding in the shadows.
You then use HDR software to combine the series of photos into one picture which contains all the details your eye naturally picks up, and the results can be subtle, extreme, or anywhere in between depending on how much processing you apply using the software. A google search will show you all you need to know, and if you are like me, you'll never look back!

You need Photomatix - it is the best HDR program IMO.
Ohhh, it didn't take you long to get the best out of the E-620, that's a great set! Look forward to seeing more of your work.
