Some shots from this evening...

[Becky]

I went for a short drive/wander up into the hills then down onto the coast where I live, to give the new cam and lens a bit of a tester... to be honest I was freezing my arse off and packed up and came home for a cuppa tea

Feedback would be great, cheers ears.


1. Stile into field...

2. Path to 'Ulster Way'...

3. Some cliff/hill face on coast...

4. Some nice green gunge :mrgreen:...

5. A self-y on the beach, whilst camera wobbles precariously on a rock...

6. Coast line...

7. Picnic anyone?...

8. Pretty flowery thingmys...

I appreciate all your comments/criticisms so if you have any thoughts please say so... :blushing:

#7 is my Fav. I like the b&w w/ the bright colors

Good portrait in #5! Shame about the tilt though.

Get a cheap bean bag to sit your camera on anywhere!:thumbup:

 

[Becky]

Thanks guys!! I know Chris... I was gonna straighten it then I realised I'd be tilted and the sea wouldn't be... I shall endeavour to buy a beanie!

I love picture #1. B & W are my favorite!!!!!

 

[Becky]

Hmm ok another edit, straightened... maybe its not so bad?

 

[Rob]

I like #5 and #8!! It looks really cold in all of them!!

Thanks Rob! Haha yeh, I visit London quite a lot and am always shocked by how much warmer it can be 50 minutes away on a plane!

You sat down to selectively colour ONLY the blossoms of all those little flowers!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Well - WOW! That looks like some hard work!

I do like your little "self-y" --- and there may have been a noticeable tilt but it is not so bad, after all, even less - where it is practically gone, well done - in the edited version.

Ach, and the nostalgia these photos bring up!
If I had a money-donkey in the cellar (you know, those that simply sh!t the money), I'd be over to Northern-Ireland at once!

 

[Becky]

Well when you do come back you must visit, little Ballygally awaits! You should've hopped on an easyjet from London while you were so close!

Thanks for the comments !! The selective colouring wasn't so bad, just desaturated everything but reds!

P.S. if you find a money-donkey farm anywhere, do be so kind as to let me know where...

P.P.S. <-- this is officially my favourite smiley.

You know, when I was at Stansted, seeing the lines of people in front of the Easyjet or Ryanair counters, wanting to fly to Derry or Belfast or so (Belfast?), and I heard them speak, I could just have smuggled ... ah. Forget it with security these days ...

And so far no luck in my attempts to find a money-donkey farm, but I'll keep looking! Promise!!!

the last one is my fav! the flowers look cool in pano

 

[Becky]

Thanks Aleks...I quite liked that one as well

Corinna, you so should've haha! Yep, Belfast is my nearest...

 

[JTHphoto]

i'm also partial to that last one... love the comp. self portraits are fun to see too, your straightened-horizon edit is much better, you don't look crooked at all... i also like 3 & 6, but they seem a tad dark...

:thumbup:
