Your picture of the day...

No snow here StJon. I really like the second picture with the trees. Love the contrasts between the snow and the grass that is still visible.

A couple from my family walk today.

This little fella was not shy in the slightest

And my first Primrose flower this year

Got to post this up. Several people on here will appreciate it. The picture is of the firing range used by the 24th regiment of Foot, later called the South Wales Borderers, to practice their marksmanship. The soldiers who trained here (they were based in Brecon) subsequently fought the famous battle of Rorke's Drift in the Zulu wars, on 22/23rd January 1879. I have been looking for this range for some time, as I only knew its general location.

Here are a couple for shots from the beach last night. When I arrived I was thinking of mono shots as the fog was thick (I have mono candidates) as I was shooting things developed into this.


I was trying a part of the beach I have shot at in a long time as I thought it would be good in mono.


This was taken handheld at ISO 800 on my E-M5 with the 12-50 kit lens

Another one of my favourite dam. It looks green in this one. Three months ago it looked blue.

Thats a combination of things it is dry this time and the colour of the light is different

That's a stunning series Alf. I especially like the last one.

You didn't miss the moment, you just caught a different one.

well I went to the beach tonight and did not dress for the weather and my hands were very cold when I left. I stayed because I happy withthe shots I was getting. I needed my head torch when I was leaving.



The light was not spectacular but it was nice and I worked on some rather small scale images.
