They are excellent seabird, no snow in Thurso this morning when I went out, but this is from above the beach.

nice photos....like them lots
Here's some I took today as well. Great light & sky much to my surprise. Some initial experiments with the ND filters.

Looking West towards Dounreay from Forss Business Park. The sky was just fabulous (and its real for once!!);)

Love the one of the waterfall Deemac.
Is it just my eyes or are the two windmills in the distance leaning to one side? Surely it wasn't that windy today? :D

Deemac,
Particularly like the one looking west from Forss, excellent sky.
I was at Thurso Beach after lunch - the tide was as far out as I remember ever seeing it. Weather was pretty wild, although not as bad as in North Lights photo from the morning.

10mm lens, I was right under the near turbine. What a noise these machines make!!

It was a bit too chilly for any half naked bodies to appear on the beach today:lol:

All excellent photographs...especially love the Mill.
Snow here in Mancunia...about an inch, enough to cause chaos on any normal workday.

Is that the 10-22?
So 16-35 35mm equivalent; certainly a good wide to normal for a DSLR.

Yes, 10-20mm (one of my favourites)
Here's the B-list (!!) from the same session ;-))

Mill No.2 is better shot for me, each to their own aye?
:)
I too prefer the second Mill photo. I'm not too sure why but I think I also prefer the second windmill shot - might be that portrait makes the windmill seem much bigger than in the landscape shot.
That said they're all fantastic shots! I'd be delighted to end up with an A-list anything near as good as your B-list.
Great photos yet again, I prefer the 'B' list photos personally!
Deemac I think your B list is more striking but that s my opinion

Oh no!! How am I going to tell wifie???

:lol:
Yup, I agree. Deemac's 'B' list is possibly better.
The B-List (my bad use of terminology I know) was not intended to be sub-standard to the first selection, just a second selection of images with more time taken to develop from all the initial raw shots. (great what with a fresh pair of eyes can see the next day).:roll:
Thanks for all your comments folks.

Deemac,
Really like the second image of Forss Mill, don't think that should be on the B list at all.
