These were taken yesterday. Today I’m setting off back west towards Durness. The weather looks reasonably settled so hopefully once I get past Bettyhill there will be a landscape or two. Dunnet Bay shot ‘Un peu contre jour.’
Yesterday morning I woke with what I thought was a good idea.
This didn’t work out quite as well as I hoped. These are not Photoshop. The system has possibilities.
They are shot into a shattered mirror. I’ve been here too long.
Time to move on, I want to watch the Grand Prix so I’m going for a shower and then it’s walk the dogs and pack the van.
Have a great week.
I like the beach shot.
ReplyDeleteBut I'd get the mirror fixed once you've had a play.
Keith, I'll bin it when I've finished but I was thinking of trying a sunset fin it first.
DeleteIt's a grand beach. The dogs think so, I have to watch them closely they are buggers for rolling in anything dead they find.
HI Adrian I love the beach scene with your 2 dogs. Yes I think all dogs like to roll in smelly tings! I like the last shot very much. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteMargaret, it is ideal for the dogs. I'll do my best but an eighty mile drive is not the best way to spend a Sunday.
DeleteShattering display. I love the dogs on the beach, it's superb.
ReplyDeleteBob, it was a case of beach crazy I think.
DeleteThe beach scene for me, too. The other stuf is a bit too sci fi for me!
ReplyDeletePauline, don't worry I'm feeling better today.
DeleteThe first shattered image was reasonable but the third worked well.
ReplyDeleteJohn, this was the cheap back coated mirror. I tank taped the back then gave it a good clout. Next time I'm near B&Q I'll get another plus a glass cutter and then bed the less random shards into putty. I hope there is a future in mirrors for photography but I haven't seen anything yet to beat the snail.
DeleteThe first two shattered glass photos reminded me of a fire. I thought,"Oh, oh Adrian is taking a photo of a fire!" You had me fooled until you explained things.
ReplyDeleteRed, I have myself fooled for much of the time.
DeleteLike the first image. On the cracked mirror/glass on the first I thought at first them gulls from the previous campsite had caught up with you:-)
ReplyDeleteI do like the last image too.
Douglas, Yes it does look a bit that way.
DeleteI really am so jealous of the time you have to just wander around the UK Adrian... the north of Scotland is such a wonderful place to visit.
ReplyDeleteAndrew, it is a good life if you don't weaken.
DeleteI think the one with the ears of grass is pretty good. I once witnessed someone pointing his camera through the bottom of a beer mug (the type with a handle), at the Square and Compass pub. After trying it myself, the effects were quite weird. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteGary, I'm glad I'm not alone. I'm still a little concerned as I wasn't pissed.
DeleteBuenas la primera y la última !!!
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo.
Laura, son un poco tonto.
DeleteYou're cracking up. I'm surprised you're not shattered.
ReplyDeleteGraham, I will have another go sometime or maybe not.
ReplyDeleteFive years ago, I wasn't a great fan of photographing clouds, these days I see it as an enhancement to what could be a great or ordinary scene. Maybe in another five years I might be taking pictures in broken glass ... always at the forefront Adrian and me always months and years behind :-)
ReplyDeleteJay, landscapes need clouds.
DeleteThe broken mirror has possibilities not sure what they are though.
