P1570633 - Copper is widely used in the UK for getting water around the house to drinking taps, baths, showers, sinks etc. Copper replaced lead pipping which was believed to contribute to many deaths from lead poisoning. The problem for me was how do I show it, it's many places that a camera and even a small mirror didn't make a decent shot. So I raid my fittings box and put these together in an attempt to make it look sexy :) You'll see from the one in the comments it was on some copper coated card, just could not get the light to do what I wanted from it :(

P1570414 - So there you are in the middle of the countryside wanting to make a nice image of some rapeseed and the nice tractor tractor paths up to the brow of the hill. What I should have been doing is finding some people in the High Street or somewhere where there are people for the Today's Posting assignment.
Heard a noise behind me, then people started invading the frame, what is going on. Never did get the image oh well another day.

Sometimes worth reflecting

Sometimes worth reflecting, originally uploaded by Rusty Marvin (catching up).

P1580026 - So yesterday we had a shot of this because it was old and I was short of time. But this is the reflection shot I have been waiting days to get (but not at 08:30 in the morning). I am hoping it meets two requirements one for the reflections although not a perfect reflection of the castle and not bad on the two boats the foreground boat was good until I realized I could not get everything the frame, as there was a load of uglyness in concrete.
The other assignment was turning the dial and trying something out which is Film ModeVibrant here, it added just a little bit to the colour so quite pleased with the result out of 18, different modes, different sizes and with and with out a filter.

P1580758 - Not to sure, bit of a play with the colour saturation here, may be over cooked still SOOC so quite please with it. But don't like the semi bokeh.
