After three days of wet snow it has now all gone. I haven’t had very much internet, It always seems to act up in damp conditions.
I have one picture that I snapped just after the main snowfall as the clouds moved away.
The rest of the time it has been sleety and foggy.
MARTY does produce the most wonderful composite images so thought I would have a go. Not very good but the best I managed. I never got MathMap into GIMP. I have given up for the time being. I was sorting through some old images and found lots of things I had completely forgotten about here is one of them.
The view from Smoo Cave Durness.
I am writing this at four in the morning, rain is forecast and has just started but it has got warm. Later on I have to go and get dog food and something for me to eat.
I’ll try for some pictures later on this afternoon.
I wondered why your post showed up at this time of day. So if you're up at 4:00 AM I get your post in the evening. At least your snow disappears.
ReplyDeleteRed, I'm up at all hours.
DeleteI really like your last photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda.
Deletei love the first and last images Adrian. jusith, my daughter in Malawi has just warned me that the electricity goes off ALOT and to have a shower when it is on1 Forget about internet!! That is Africa but lookingforward toit anyway.
ReplyDeleteThanks Margaret.
DeleteGreat wintry captures... I really like your composite!
ReplyDeleteLaura, I will have to try some more of them.
DeleteI love that last photo. Isn't it funny how time was when we hankered after colour, but now black and white seems more special.
ReplyDeleteFrances, I still enjoy colour but shades of grey do wonders for some subjects.
DeleteThe composite is intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI installed the Mac stand alone version of MathMap to try out. It is an older version and has its problems. Not least of which is it seems to only like to work with photos no bigger than the preview window as it doesn't scale the original but truncates it to the top left hand corner. Also I have to drag the filter text to the 'working' window.
John, It sounds as if it wouldn't be worth using even if I could load it.
DeleteReally like the last image, though in the first image I'm trying to figure out what the big yellow tractors is doing. Hope the snow turns up down here, I've been seeing Wasps flying around
ReplyDeleteDouglas it is sitting on the low loader.
DeleteI like the composite and really like the b&w.
ReplyDeleteJohn, just a bit of fun.
DeleteWinter is making itself known to many of us these days. Love your photos, especially the black and white.
ReplyDeleteMarie, it is mostly wet and foggy here.
DeleteLooks cold. Brrr. (Grey and wet and chilly here too, but above zero. Not been out much...)
ReplyDeleteMonica, yesterday was warm but it is back to 1°C again this morning.
DeleteLovely picture of the view from Smoo Cave. The framing really enhances the photograph.
ReplyDeleteYP, I'll have to record some more frames. It is just a one click job to apply them then.
DeleteThese are wonderful shots. And your collage really caught my eye--- I agree that Marty's a master, but yours was not to be sneezed at.
ReplyDeleteBill, Marty is excellent at them. I'll have to try harder.
DeleteOK, so I believe that you really have had snow! ;-} I love that last image, Adrian - B&W really works with it! Pretty impressed by your composite too, although it'd be hard to beat Marty's combination of technical and artistic skills! For me, the scene depicted in the first image is spoiled by the distractions of the digger(?), farm buildings, and particularly the masts, etc. on the horizon. Wipe those out and it's be a beautiful scene! A tow truck and a few explosive could sort that out! Maybe Photoshop is a less controversial alternative?
ReplyDeleteBest wishes - - Richard
Richard, Marty is the King or maybe queen of the composite.
DeleteI'll get the digger shifted but the rest will have to stay,
Gosh. I remember your Smoo Cave sortie. It was good.
ReplyDeleteGraham, Smoo Cave is both a surprise and impressive. I didn't expect to find limestone in amongst all the gneiss and basalts.
DeleteBien que intentes hacer lo de MARTY es una gran artista!!
ReplyDeleteMe gusta la Ăşltima foto, es un buen desaturado .
Un abrazo.
