It didn't look like that when we were there - I bet that was causing havoc with Gannet flight control :biggrin:

Awesome spectacle Guy :toast: :toast:

Hi Guy,

Cracking shot. Hope I get something half as good when I am there in early July.

Regards

a nice shot Guy, that mist must have limited the bird photography :smile:

Just goes to prove that there's always an alternative to what you might have had planned!!

Great shot.

Very nice, i like the mist is rising up, my only nit would be to lighten the fore ground a little? Or would that distract?

Hello Paul.
Thanks for the comment.

You are right on both accounts. The forground should be slightly brighter but it does seem to unbalance the picture so I toned it down abit.

But it does look darker on this npn size image than it does on the full size image.

All the best Guy. :wavey:

A super landscape image Guy,

The Haar/Frett/Fog or mist, depending on where we are based, really adds an extra element to the shot!!

A true british landscape shot :toast: :toast:

Very nce indeed, but I bet that spoilt the flight shot oportunities a bit 'til it cleared though!

Thanks for all the comments.

Yes it did put a stop to the bird photography. But conditions like this dont happen to often, so you must take advantage of them when they do happen. The birds will br there for some time so I will get another go. I was more than happy to leave the birds and go for the landscape.
Thanks for looking. :wavey:

Blimey, looks like a scene from the Lost World. At least you made the most of a poor situation - its an atmospheric scene for sure! Bleedin' sea fog! :toast: :toast: :toast:
