blue fin art's photostream  

Not had a great week as first the car packed in and now my laptop. The screen has gone and looking into a replacement.

Can hardly read my post but can see roughly what I am doing. So can't process any new shots just now

A shot taken at Cocklawburn Beach in Northumberland just as the sun started to rise and caught this big rock.

Apologies for the lack of comments recently but will be back in business once I get a replacement screen

Took a bit of a road trip into Northumberland over Xmas hols and finished up at St Mary's Lighthouse.

Conditions weren't very inspiring, but glad I have been here and worked the place out for one day when the conditions were better. I liked the comp in this shot, but just wished I had better light and colour. The foreground was not lit at all due the cliffs above and glad I managed to produce a shot.

Had banding issues with this shot, in the skies, but hopefully managed to remove through a variety of processes and not really sure what worked or didn't. So I appreciated everyones help in this problem :)

Bumped into another Flickr contact Graeme Campbell www.flickr.com/photos/gcfotographos/ so it was good to meet up. I seem to bump into other contacts in across Scotland and Northumberland on a random but regular basis.

The mono looked better in PS, but when uploaded it lost punch. Uploaded the colour version as well.

The Isle of Arran is somewhere behind that big cloud.

One taken just before Christmas down at my favourite haunt on the West Coast.

Liked that I managed to fit in the castle as well. It was very windy and rain was spitting as this massive cloud moved in.

Taken with the B&W ten stop and two exposures blended as didn't use a grad due to the spray and wind.

Got a colour version too that I am undecided about

Finally got a good sunset but wasn't in a great location as had no foreground interest so out came the longer lens and shot across towards Edinburgh. I went to Gullane and there was swell on the headland but towards the sunset there was no movement so settled for the sky rather than the rocks. Just a mad range of colours that appeared quite a time after sunset

Exposure about two seconds and this is pretty much straight out of the camera. Got a few panos but not sure if they will stitch together with the wave movement.

One to one long exposure tuition slots filling up so please contact me if you are interested
