Nice photos stroma88
did you catch any fish?
thank you :)
my boyfriend and brother took me out in a freezing cold night to go fishing and they didnt catch anything! least i got some good photos before my fingers fell off!
Those are lovely, stroma88, and I especially like the second one. What is the object silhouetted on the left hand side of the first pic?
I also like your photo in post 243, where the setting sun is on the horizon, just above the sea. :)
thank you very much!
it the old windmill down near the harbour in castletown.

Just a little tip - I play drums and very occasionally play outdoors so I bought some cycling gloves (full finger) to keep my hands warm while still retaining as much feel for the sticks as possible while playing.
Discovered they were also great for colder/outdoor photographic work etc. Just an idea if you do much outdoor shoots.
thats a good idea! il have to get some. thanks
i was stuck with my fingerless gloves. kept my hands warm but made my fingers feel even colder!

I see what you mean - very volcanic looking. I think I put the sharpness up on one photo to make it just a bit clearer. The colours are as taken/seen. It was absolutely freezing out there - I could hardly feel my fingers after about 10 minutes.

Is that 'sea smoke'? I think it is when the sea is much warmer than the air.
Only seen it once a few years ago:

When I saw this this morning I was hoping someone would post a photo on here.
A great photo Isis.
How chilly was it in Thurso for the sea to be warmer? :confused Really interested if someone can tell me more!
psyberyeti
29-Nov-08, 23:45
I think there has to be a 10C difference or something like that. It must have been about -5c here, and the sea must be somewhere between 7-10C. So that could be it. I might be wrong. I dredged it up from memory somewhere - it was covered in dust:lol:.
How chilly was it in Thurso for the sea to be warmer? :confused Really interested if someone can tell me more!

Cracking image of the sea smoke Isis.
Last time i saw it was way back 1995 when it was -26c at Altnaharra
and something like -15 in Thurso,the whole of the bay was covered with a wall of "smoke"
you could sea just to the waters edge and then nothing....weird.
Was out with my scope for a while last night and it was -7c so when i packed up around 2 am, it was certainly cold enough.
Here's an effort from this Saturday afternoon (29/11/2008). It was pouring somewhere else for a change. Looked nice I thought.

Northlight - thanks
Love your long exposure touch to the harbour shot - great work.
Only the second time I have seen the cliffs of Hoy glow red, watched it from Thurso too.
The low angle of the sun makes for some stunning effects this time of year just get annoyed as can only be in one place at a time!
Here's hoping my pictures will be as good.
Thanks for sharing that, North Light. Hoy in its "ember glow" form was always one of my favourite sights when I lived in Thurso! :)

LIZZ,
You have caught the sunset colours, particularly like the one of the river, nearly stopped and took that view myself, but the call of a cup of tea got the better of me!
Liz,
I too almost took these shots but the cloud cover didn't inspire me. (I think I saw you out with your camera - did you have a wooly hat on?)
I'm not sure if this will work, but here goes :)

Hello cemmts,
When I viewed your posting at work there were photos from everybody but yours only had the the words "nowt special ..."
I thought you were a flamer having a go at folks liking sunsets etc. There are some folks who just like to complain at others happiness/delight etc. Now I get home and log on. To my horror I see you did have photos and were commenting on yours.
I really apologise from as low down as I can get.
I'm about as sorry as I can be.
