Having done nothing but talk shit and wind people up for a while, I would like to humbly apologise and post some vaguely sensible photos:

Nice stuff as aways

Like the first of the Landy best though - the second, the road seems a bit inconseque...nt..ial..aaaaah! Clever git

Gorgeous shots, Matt. I especially like 1 & 3 of the Landy. Any chance of getting them at 1280px wide for a desktop background?!

4 would look quite cool in a series of vertical shots like that. Pop them on canvas and have them in a hallway or something.

like the landscapy ones - the saturation on the last one is kinda crazy tho ?

If it were rad sunny I'd have expected the snow to show that too ?

Anyways - it is kinda like that all over at the moment - stunning colours in all teh trees - oh to have some time to take some pics ;-)

Very nice.

Would like to see some more

I like the first one best, in my book it could use even more colour/levels adjustment for the ultimate look/feel.

I've been enjoying seeing your X-pan shots

Ok I had a word with the council and they have moved it, and that nasty rock in front of the wheel... Wish they were that quick round here!

The vertical landscape is a belter plus I like Landy number 3, with the cloud rolling down the hills you have the safety of the Landy which will gte you out of trouble

There was a really weird stripe of sun across the middle, but tbh the colour and saturation is all wrong. My scanner is really misbehaving and I found out that my monitor is way out for some reason, and as this was the last image my eyes were already doing this: I must correct it, looking at it again its fairly shocking!

Thanks Jason, this is actually my favourite (along with the first) but it doesnt seem too popular. I just like the way that the rocks lead your eye into the frame and the car is perched so high up <shrug>

In that case I'm not too surprised ol' Carpet Bomb knows a thing or two about what makes a landscape image work

Once I realised the road being kind of irrelevant actually added to the idea of an off-road vehicle, I preferred number 2.

This is the exact same conclusion I came to. At first I thought the road was too far to the right of the frame, but then looking at it again; the road isn't 'central' to this type picture.

I like it, but alike the others, to squash them down to 700 wide is rubbish!

Let them breath - we want a minimum of 1024 wide!!

Its quite amusing to watch, I must admit. I'm there farting about with a tripod and a spot meter scratching my head and Steve just goes click click click and then hangs them on the wall.

Well that was the idea...kind of towering over the road with a you expression on its face. Also, how are you supposed to know its off road unless you can see the road its off!

I'd had 4 bottles of Spitfire by that point, I wasn't at my quickest. I did actually twig as I was typing the original post, that wasn't just for effect
