Another shot from last weekend.

To be honest there will be a lot of shots of Donegal appearing on this blog. I've family up there and I tend to spend a lot of time there.

Have camera, will snap

No real deep insights or comments about this for you. If you know Donegal, this is on the road between Dungloe and Doochary. The continued urbanisation of Donegal is a growing problem.

I like this shot, but it suffers from a mistake I make a lot. If I'd stepped maybe two steps to the right it I think it would have been much better. Aside from the 47 billion options and widgets and doofers and stuff that you can do between picking the camera up and setting it down, there seems to be a whole bit about what you look at as well.

I read a good article on this in Digital SLR Photography last month and, assuming the opportunity presents itself, I'm going to try and play with this at the weekend.

Oh, and as you can see. Saturdays grey skies turned out just peachy on Sunday.

I think it turned out rather well.

Thanks Mick!

I guess you can be over critical of your own things. There are a few niggles, but looking at it again it is growing on me.

apart from maybe stepping right (or left as someone suggested offline), I'd deal with the rock in the lower centre of the frame and the strange artifact leaf thing to the lower left...

but then again, maybe I'd just leave well enough alone.

The gate posts make it appear inviting.

I like it too. Did you take it late in the day? The light had that nice soft glow about it. I no that Jon mentioned it but for everyone else, if you want to see a genius when it comes to using different types of sunlight in landscapes, Jon Cornish is the man. (http://www.joecornish.com/). The website doesn't really do the photos justice, if you want to seem them in all their glory get his first book First Light, everytime I pick it up it makes me want to go out and take photos.
