/\ Love the second shot Nick.

You managed to make them look like a thick carpet of flowers. I went to the woods near Ditchling to take some bluebell shots but couldn't quite get the effect I was after last week.

Worst 'I got an Explore just like Dibbly's bridge shot' ever

Spent the weekend up in Scotland.

The weather was a mixed bag, conditions varied between horrendous & stunning.

First night at Cladich on the shores of Loch Awe (popular at the moment it seems!) then a day trip up to Glencoe (awful conditions) and then back down to Loch Lomond. (Even worse conditions)

Anyway here's my first one from dawn at Kilchurn Castle.

Obviously a blend of exposures / HDR - has it gone to far? I've spent that long looking at it I can't decide if it's way over the top or just about OK?

I think these are great Dan!

I am hardly an arbiter of good taste but I might have added just a wee bit of contrast to the first (although it doesn't look overdone as it is )

Lots of belters recently - well overdue a bit of mediocrity!

Tried to get a photo of my toddler playing on the piano with her granddad. Failed miserably to get one I was happy with, but quite liked this close crop.

If anything its a little flat (often a by product of hdr, which removes contrast basically), could do with a little more punch if you like. I wouldnt pick it as HDR though which is a good thing..

Gartloch Asylum by Alan Tait, on Flickr

Visiting down Glasgow way so took the chance for a bit of an explore round a ruined asylum before it gets redeveloped.

Thanks - i'll have a play around as I think it's also slightly leaning to the right.

Thanks! To be fair, the bluebells have "gone over" quite a bit. I had to lie on my belly to get that... which at least is well padded, but not very waterproof! Note to self; take a bin liner next time
