  • With apologies to Microsoft

    Just getting round to sorting through some images from Easter. From a field near Bladnoch (before visiting the distillery ....):

    I love this one - the square frame is perfect for the curve of the split foreground/sky - superb

    Can you provide shooting information?

      Sorry, I should have mentioned. It was shot with the E-M1, 12-40, ISO 200, f5.6 at 1/500s. Cropped to square and slight adjustment in C1 (the raw convertor I get on best with). Unless I am specifically after wildlife, I probably could get away with just the 12-40 as a lens.

        That's a superb shot, just about perfect. Just that pesky jettrail in the top right spoiling the show a bit.

            Hi jdal

            I have had a look at the uncropped original. I don't think that it is a contrail, just one of those long whispy high altitude clouds (don't know the name - sorry). But it does look like one in the cropped image. I hadn't considered that.

              "Bliss" (default XP background) was claimed to be the most viewed image at the time (source Wikipaedia and Daily Telegraph) and was a stock photo. Maybe you should upload yours to one of the stock agencies and see what happens?

                Very nice, simple and effective.

                  Hey! That's Bladnoch Park, the Newton Stewart Rugby Club pitch. Thought I recognised those sheep (or groundsmen as they're called locally). I'd clone them out.

                  Wasn't it great weather over Easter? I hope you enjoyed your visit to Scotland's Riviera.

                    Proves that simple is often best.

                    I've worked hard to be this grumpy. It hasn't been easy at times but it's worth it.

                      The weather was superb. I hadn't been that way for decades. I was amazed at how green everything was - the proximity to Ireland perhaps?
