The Cloisters .... one of my favorite photography spots. Usually I get there every summer ( winters are too depressing , especially if they have the Gregorian chants playing) Maybe this week I'll get there.
It worked for me, heheh ...
This is very atmospheric. Nice.
I like the peaceful colours on his one. The bubbles are a nice detail.
I like this one. I can feel the dog's personality.
I went back to Ham House this morning with a longer lens, hoping to catch some parakeets but what do you know, none there today. So I took some pictures of some old stuff that wasn't moving.

I can only criticize the eyes, where the inclusion of reflected light would have brought more life to the already pronounced soul of the dog.
A little too much saturation. It's a nice perspective though.
Cross Fell, the highest point on the Pennine Way...
I have such a hatred for phone lines... Beautiful picture though.
Thank you... but my pic was posted via these phone lines, so, well, they have their purpose. If you quote a pic, change the IMG tags to TIMG... and keep the mods happy...
Thank you. Do you have any pointers oh how I could have changed that? Is it a issue with the settings I had or is it something else?
Well generally, when you're shooting animals outside, you want to have them face the sunlight, if you can. If you're indoors and you have a flash, try bouncing the flash off a white wall for a more natural indoor effect.
Nothing with the settings, just the environment.

Thanks, I was wondering how to do this.
I was speaking more on my behalf; I can't tell you how many photos of mine have been ruined by phone lines sticking out like sore thumbs in landscape shots. It's something I don't notice at the moment, but when I later scrutinize the picture, I facepalm myself...

Nice image, but the inclusion of half a bird at the top of the pic is really bugging me.
And I worked so hard to get him that way...
Yeah, I sort of ignored that little detail, but you're right, it seems to detract more than anything. Darn seagulls never cooperate. I guess I could crop it out...

The Beach, Point Reyes
There's a short story by Colm Tóibín in yesterday's (28 August 2010) Guardian Review in which he writes about driving up to the windswept beach at Point Reyes. So I went back and dug out some of my photos of that beach. Here's one.
