Taken not far from my parents in Ireland, this was taken about 2 years ago with my D60 and el cheapo sigma 18-50 DC.

I would of liked a longer exposure but i was having to take hand held, and had just jumped out of the car in a calm in the wind.

ISO 200 F5.6 1/200

Lovely area of Ireland I go fishing at Delphi every year, just north of Leenane. My parents live a bit further north in Donegal! Not often you get an absolutely still day.

My parents live near ballyhaunis, a bit to the east. I wasnt a calm day the wind was gusty and i noticed the waves die down as we drove by and jumped out. Snapped and jumped back in :) it was about -5, and due to the flight hadnt brought my tpod. Btw, one of thiese lakes has char so they must be pretty deep

Hi Paul, I like the scene but feel it needs a touch more contrast and levelling. Nice one though.
