I use a Nikon d600
The three palms were taken with a 28-300 at 28mm, f22 at 1/25s
The arch was the same lens at 72mm, f18 at 1/80
My 9 year old sun and I would wake up before the dawn to get the best lighting.
The third shot is his and was taken on a nikon cool pics aw 100 f9.4 at 1/1500
He just might have a future.
Thank you for the pleasure I had in looking at your photographs. Dan
John, I'm having trouble finding the images. Did you attach them before posting?

I found them way back at the beginning of the thread. This looks like a repeat post. Hal

Techie Stuff.

Thanks Phil. That path is inviting me to walk down it and explore. Great shot. Hal
It's part of 'The Cotswold Way' an ancient 'right of way' footpath, which runs from Bath in the south to Chipping Campden at its northern most point. It is approximately 100 miles long. Anyway, see what you think of this little stretch of it.

Phil, I love the converging lines of the rock wall and the path. They lead the eye way into the image. This path isn't as inviting for a stroll though since it comes in on the side of the frame. Still a very nice image. Hal
I'm fortunate to live in an area designated as being of 'outstanding natural beauty', and when the weather conditions are right, there's no question about it. However, it does rain quite a lot and regularly, which accounts for the greens in the scenes. Still, like many others before me, I should be grateful for what I've got, it's a privilage to live in such a beautiful county.

Then as you round the bend at the end of the photo above, you find a view of a typical Cotswold Farm unfolds as you round the bend.
In both instances the technical information is pretty much as before.
Phil, I really love the first one with the path inviting me to stroll down it and see more of whats around the corner. Especially since you are giving me just a hint of what's coming with the inclusion of a portion of the background. I like the path image more than the full scene second image. I can dream with the first one and the second one shows it all. Very nice! Hal
While I was out for a gentle stroll near St Albans yesterday, with Pentax K-5II and 35mm prime lens, the evening sunlight on these trees in a farm meadow caught my attention:
ISO 800, f/16, 1/100s.
Then I came across this rotten old tree stump, covered in moss and lichen:

Philip, I really like the tree in the evening light. Great detail. But, I'm not sure on the old stump as it is shown. It's almost abstract when filling the frame. Well done with great detail. I wonder what it would look like if you had pulled back a little. Would it loose it's appeal or enhance it? Keep up the strolling. I loving your finds. Hal

If we 'about face 180 degrees' from post 81, this is what greats us. Looking over 'Cleeve Hill' in Gloucestershire and in the far distance you can see the Malvern Hills in Worcestershire.
Hal, we can only wonder about your wonder, as I didn't shoot the tree stump from any further back! I chose to exclude the surroundings as the stump was so interesting - in fact, I should have got in really close but my knees tend to object nowadays!
Phil, I like your Cotswold Way series. One of their qualities that appeals to me is the colour, particularly the green tones. You have produced exactly the colour balance I would expect to see there in your 1st, 2nd, and 4th photos. The odd one out is the 3rd - it is too biased towards blue (which seems strange if it was taken on the same walk) - so if it were mine I would want to process it to match the others.

Wow John, really nice images. That last one looks like ice crystals on a leaf and that tells me it's way to cold for these old bones. The one of the leafless tree isn't to exciting. I think I would have gotten under the tree some more and excluded the little branches on the right. Otherwise I am impressed. Hal
Hi photowalker
many thanks for the review , very interesting .
As for temperature , yes is was around -3 Deg C in the afternoon , even allowing for the blue skies.
Your right , it is frost on the leaf, and my toes as well , so gave in at this point for a coffee and naughty cake whilst sitting in the car.
thanks again.

Nick, nice reflections. I have a suggestion for you though. The image looks a little heavy on the right side with the bigger tree next to the frame. I think I would frame less of the tree on the right and more of the tree on the left. The shore line in the middle seems to work for this image. Just a suggestion from my point of view. But, still a great image. Hal
