I had planned a bit of a lie in this morning, one look out the window had me running round the house like a scalded cat!

You certainly seem to have captured what will be the best of today unless the weather changes dramatically this afternoon.

lovely shots (as usual) ;)

Beautiful shots North Light and Tugmistress.

The sky was amazing this morning, really stunning.

I was running late though, so no time for a pic but you two have caught it just brilliantly.

:cool:

Yes, I missed this completely. (Going to bed at 3am and getting up at 11am doesn't help!! - well it is the weekend ;-))

Fabulous shots NL and Tugs.

My OH got some on the compact so I was aware what I'd been missing.

Pity the day is so poor now. I'm just dying to try out my new baby that arrived yesterday . . . . . :Razz

Tugmistress,
Great morning, well caught, I had considered the dressing gown option, but thought wandering around on the sea front in a dressing gown was not the best of ideas this morning.

Deemac,
Mmmmm, and what new baby would that be?

Yeh... a new baby? What did you get Deemac? (if you don`t mind me asking)

Getting new toys is brilliant! I just got my Tokina 12-24mm yesterday and I`ve got all my other bits n bobs too so also really want to get out there and and have a play but the weather`s not gonna play ball by the look of it...

:roll:

and i'm going daft, take an hour off that so it was 08.23 and 08.24 ... really must work out how to change that in the camera :roll:

Deemac,
Mmmmm, and what new baby would that be?

Got me a Canon 70-200mm L IS USM lens.

A formidable beastie this one (cost & weight!!) Had a very brief play at a football match down at the Dammies earlier this afternoon, but needed to be somewhere else, so only spent 10 minutes playing with new toy. I'll let you know how I get on with it.

Great shots North Light and Tugmistress.

It's amazing what people get up to in the middle of the night,
(middle of the night for me that is).

Great shots NL, as usual. I was admiring the sky from under the shower, not really appropriate to grab the gear and run out ;)

@ Deemac,

which version did you get? I have the 2.8 and its an absolute cracker!

Northlight/Tuggs.. Great Shots!
When I arrived at my workplace it was still fairly dark....10mins later I couldnt believe how the sky had transformed, totally amazing!
This is my efforts at capturing the scene.

Not a lot Wife....slight adjustment of contrast/brightness and a wee bit of sharpening...just noticed two of the shots on the thread are the same! Quickly going off Photobucket :(
