From a trip up the west coast of UK

[Elines]

Trying (again) to get my interest back.



All shot with iPhone.

I think these are all quietly excellent, Chris. I've noticed previously that you do rather good landscapes for one who doesn't like landscapes. Keep it up!

 

[Elines]

Thanks Toby, much appreciated.

And unexpected re landscapes

For these two I made a lot of use of Ian’s DZS plug-in which I find really good and easy to use re identifying and lightening/darkening zones.

 

[John2]

I really like these and they are interesting. What is the globe structure in the third one.

 

[Glenn]

I think you should be pleased with these Chris.

 

[Elines]

Thanks everyone.

I wasn’t expecting such favourable responses, especially as I regard the people on here as knowing what they are talking about

The globe structure is a protective cover for the ship’s radar (known - apparently - as a ‘radome’.)

This SOOC image shows it in context

 

[Helen Summers]

Very good image quality indeed. I thought, oops whats the colour one doing there? But of course it is still monochrome, just blue.

 

[Elines]

Thanks Helen - yes, the colour one is simply to give a better view of the radome, in response to John’s question.

Looking at the thread again I see that I wasn’t as clear as maybe I should have been.

Whilst I like all the pictures my lack of ‘proper’ photography for several months meant that I wasn’t sure that I still had my photographic ‘eye’ as regards the final product.

Hence my surprise and pleasure at the favourable comments, especially from people I regard as knowledgeable and whose views I respect.
