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. :)

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!

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.

stroma88
06-Aug-08, 14:30
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.

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:.

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.

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.
