I looked at the first one and thought 'Wow', then scrolled down and loved the way you can see the seal's body under the water even more! Great shots.

Love the first shot the best, and glad to see the seal in clearer water than this one was the other day. They are becoming little celebs down there.

MPH,
I like the composition of the first, and the seal is excellent but the winner for me is the reflections of the floats.

it's the symbol to let you know there is a bow thruster under the waterline there so be careful to don't get sucked in or more likely a rope sucked in lol, the other one on the left means the vessel has a bulbous bow.

OK, what can I do for my 500th posting? Well, it had to be a photo. Which one should I use? Well - what's ahead this year? 10 years to retirement. 20 years to being ... well, I don't want to go there. Should it be a photo with some special significance? Would that be DFR (Caithness icon), or Teal, or the view, or my friends, or family?

The next few months at work look particularly scary.:eek: So, after thumbing through my photographs day-and-night for the last 20 minutes it has to be from my Scrabster Harbour 'Playgound' collection ...

Nice colour MPH. Could you do it in lime green. That's my favourite colour. Also, the Harbour Trust can see what it would look like in a couple of colours, then maybe they could choose one and do the old rust bucket up a bit.:cool:

Thanks Young Fishin Neep,Deemac.
No idea about B&W really,never tried it before.Just tried to enhance
the reflections on the lorries which i thought look kinda cool.

Lizz.Sure looks like a John Dory but i dont see the "St Peters Thumprint"
on its side,one things for sure,nicely taken indeed.

Hi North Light

Yes, all on transparecy film, some Ecktachrome X (64ASA), some on Ektachrome 200 and some on Kodachrome 64.

Still can't beat film for colour and punch, I still use Fuji Velvia 50 for landscapes and Sensia 100 for closeup from time to time. I must admit though that for ease of use digital takes some beating!
