Margaret, the forest is wonderful but the conifers are due to be harvested next year. I expect they will leave the Beech and Sycamore and a right mess as usual.
More excellent images, Adrian. I still reckon, however, thay HDR works better with townscapes and machinery. Perhaps it's something about the business of the forest scenes. Saying that, my best ever dabble with HDR was of a mountain scene on a cloudy day - could have been to do with the simplicity of the original scene.
The building in the second to last image is fascinating. However I still prefer the forestscapes
ReplyDeleteFalkland Palace Douglas. It has a Real Tennis court and other things.
DeleteThe forest scenes are my favourite but I like the town scapes too. Such a beautiful area! Your own bit of paradise.
ReplyDeleteMarie, I try and make the pictures reflect the positive side of life.
DeleteThose photos of the countryside are just stunning, Adrian.
ReplyDeleteFrances, when it's nice it's very nice. Was hoping for more insects today but the mower came in empty, the grass is too dry.
DeleteI enjoyed your photos from "away." Love the quaint English villages. So different from small towns here in the US.
ReplyDeleteLinda, don't let the Scottish Naturists hear you calling Falkland an English village. They will get really revolting.
DeleteI really enjoy the village shots.....
ReplyDeleteBill I enjoyed the trip out.
DeleteHDR really works well with buildings, maybe as there is a wider range of colours and possibly contrast for it to work with.
ReplyDeleteJohn, it works well with buildings in harsh light but I think it works best with old machines.
Deleteit's nice to follow you in the forest and the village as well
ReplyDeleteMarty I spend an hour a day in the forest. Towns are becoming a bit of a novelty to me.
DeleteUnlike me, I know, but I actually prefer looking at Away today. The grand structures and the humble homes, that place really appeals to me.
ReplyDeletePauline, it is an interesting place. Much of it isn't as old as it looks. The church looks Victorian as do several of the larger buildings.
DeleteMy forest scenes are my favourite however it is lovely to see the village

Richard I agree and the slight movement of leaves and twigs between shots doesn't help.
