Browser
For some reason I've just looked at this blog on IE instead of firefox and was shocked to find that my carefully crafted background just shows up white! The big shiny red tab bar at the top of the page that has tabs for home, about, cv to date, critique etc etc is totally invisible on IE damn what next!!!!?
Deils Night Apparitions
Donnie spook to soon as regarding witches cheers Donnie!! :) A single 30sec exposure!! It's not by intention but for some reason I always end up here at this time o' year?? Apparently the 5th most haunted place in the country ( I don't know why!!) Alloway Old Kirk yard the setting for Tam O' Shanter by Robert Burns.

Soft Proofing
I haven't posted anything for a day or two as I'm trying to get to grips with soft proofing and the ICC profile for the printing firm I hope to use. If I can get the printing right and the shots to look the way I want.... then I might even have a try at selling some in an interested coffee shop chain. That's if I can even find shots I think are worth printing, don't know which is the more difficult :)))
Anyway here is another shot in the ongoing combat series of shots :)) Interestingly this has been viewed by over 300 people and no one has spotted THEM

Autumn Burn
ISO100 f/9.5 4sec
It was a choice between two edits tonight and I just couldn't make up my mind which. Eventually I went with this one and decided at the very end a crop helped the composition. Although the crop was the right way to go, it suddenly showed the other image had perhaps the stronger composition and I should have gone with it.
Me thinks I'll need to alter my work-flow slightly and try various crops at the beginning duh! I've also desaturated the banking at the top of the shot to help contain the eye something I don't think I'd need to do with the other... the opposite perhaps being the case duh duh!!!

Old Roman Bridge
Sorry a bit of a rush post I'll try to get around my contacts later tonight.
I haven't been here at the Roman bridge down in (wild) Galloway since I upgraded to the DSLR well over a year ago. A fact that needed to be remedied, so I spent today dodging some pretty hefty rain showers trying to grab a shot in between.
And I have to say there is nothing better than sheltering below a holy tree beside the Minnoch while it pours with the sun beaming down all at the same time!
