JoeH...

You're just fishing for compliments now ;-) *and you're gonna get
them*.

Graham...

I do love to have my ego buffed up to a nice lustre ;-)

But more than that, It's the thought that others have enjoyed the
places I love through my pictures, and that I may have rekindled some
memories of past visits to those places.

Brilliant again Graham.

Graham...

Cut the flannel please Joe ;-)

Faolan...

Excellent work, just curious to know which lens was used for the first
in the series... Looks like a wide angle of some sort with a grad
filter/polariser?.

Graham...

Thanks Faolan. I used a Nikkor 12-24 at 12mm with a polariser. I'm a
bit curious about the sky myself, the brightness to the left is where
the sun is rising, So I can understand that. The lighter area to the
left maybe because of the sun reflecting from the sea? Or it is a
peculiarity of a polariser on an extreme wide angle? It's definitely
not vignetting, I have noticed this in other shots where the sun is
low. I wasn't too sure about it at first, but I do think the effect
helps to draw the eye into the picture.

Jackie...

Beutiful pictures Graham, that must be `some` camera you have!!

Graham...

Thank you Jackie. Any reasonable camera can achieve similar results.
It has more to do with being able to "see" a picture than anything
else. Everyday places from different angles and perspectives is what
it's all about.

JoeH...

...and a fair bit of knowledge of knowing how to compose and shoot
with it too.

Graham...

I learn by watching what others are doing and then going out to try
to achieve similar results. Most of my inspiration comes from
a.b.p.o.

Rabbit...

I've always said if you give a cheap camera to a good photographer you will
get excellent results but you won't get good results if you give the most
expensive camera to a poor photographer.

Graham...

That is very true, Sandra. As I mentioned previously, the secret is
being able to *see* a picture. Use the viewfinder as if it were a
picture frame.

Flyiñg Ñuñ 2°°5 +...

Thanks for that. ;(

Graham...

You can do it, FN... I know you can because you show an interest in
producing better pictures, that is more than half the battle :-)

It reminds me of a story where a photographer was given the "that must
be `some` camera you have there" comment by the wife of a friend when
he showed off some of his photographs before a dinner party at the
friend's house. He smiled politely and they sat down for their meal.

At the end of the meal he turned to the hostess and said "That was a
lovely meal, you must have some great pans".

Graham...

LOL I like it :-)

Aries...

sensational shots Graham, you have an excellent eye for what makes a good
picture:)

Graham...

Why thank you Miss Valerie, I owe it all to Vision Express ;-)

Aries...

I prefer Specsavers ;)

Flyiñg Ñuñ 2°°5 +...

I find that wearing spectacles makes using the old viewfinders difficult,
so I rely on the small tft screen on my digital camera.

Rabbit...

So you're the one who keeps paying to enable the wife of one ( at least that
I know of personally ) of the high heid yins to use the company helicopter
from Guernsey to the mainland to buy her undies at M & S :-(

Aries...

Really! ROFL !

Rabbit...

Yes really. It's a friend of mine's sister in law.

Foxy at w**k...

I do love you pictures Graham. Some of those were like lunar landscapes

Graham...

Thanks Jen. I didn't go quite as far as the Moon for the pictures :-)
