Good mix of warm and cold colors, and the boat and the sun rays all add up nicely to the scene. Lovely shot Madame

I just love every one of your photos. You provide great inspiration. I wish I lived where you do.
More fun with autumn color...

Nice to have you back, P.
Here's one of dusk, through a FL-W filter, of the Portland skyline two weekends ago.
Beautiful... and great timing. These little details make all the difference, I reckon. Another example of how waiting for one pic to 'come together' can be better than getting 20 shots that are just OK...
I really enjoyed my weekend wandering the fells... saying "hi" to Harry the Herdwick...
Here is my entry for today. I took this at the YMCA camp I stayed at for our group waterfall trip. Looks like the bell has not been rung in a while.

You live in such a beautifull part of the world Doylem, and you represent it beautifully in all your pictures.
Well, thank you. The Lake District is beautiful, sure enough, though it's still very easy to take crap pictures of beautiful places! The light changes from day to day, minute to minute, so being out on the fells may be soggy... but it's never boring...

Masking
Such a lovely photo. The water is so clear, the colours are similar to what I see in the bush.
I wanted to know more about luminosity masking. I found a reference here:http://www.goodlight.us/writing/luminositymasks/luminositymasks-1.html
Cheers all,
Barry

Thank you BarryJ!
And yes, Tony is I believe, the guy who if not invented at least systematized Luminosity Masks. Not a very intuitive process but one that can produce terrific results.
I finally got around to uploading some more photos from Peru. This one is from near the top of a mountain pass along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.

I hope I won't confuse anyone by resurrecting this thread. I was traveling and didn't have a chance to reply at the end of October.
Thanks, fireman32. It's very kind of you to say that. Slovenia is full of beautiful scenery, but I do often have to drive for an hour or two to get to the best bits. I frequently stay in hotels only a couple of hours away from home so that I can spend more time in an area and more easily shoot sunrises and whatnot.
Thanks for saying that, fcortese. It's so nice to be back out shooting again and to be back here sharing with my fellow MR photographers.
Thanks, Doylem. This shot of yours with the sheep is fantastic. The color palette, the light, the composition, the timing, the perfectly adorable sheep...just wonderful.
I've loved every shot you've taken of this beautiful hill. If I ever make it up to that region, I hope you'll tell me where it is! I would love to photograph it myself someday.
I don't know Tony, but I have been using luminosity masks (in essence, but in an adapted fashion that fits my photography) for a couple of years now. Used selectively, it's a technique that can transcend "camera vision", as I call it, with very natural results. ("Camera Vision" is the way I think of a camera's limitations in capturing a scene, especially anything with a wide dynamic range.)
Super cute and very well done!
