Thanks Sporran, although I would have much preferred to have been in California snapping the sunset where you were !
Actually, it was my husband who took the photo whilst he was in California on a business trip, lucky duck that he was! I was back home on the other side of the continent. I've been as far west as Colorado, but that was a number of years ago. I'll get to California one of these days though, I'm sure!
P.S. I love your moonrise and sunrise photos too, souperman. I almost feel like I'm actually in Caithness gazing up at that moon - it looks so real on my screen! :D
Took this last night.

http://mysite.orange.co.uk/smurfs-storage/cloud.jpg
Great pics, Stumurf! Lovely sunset over Loch Calder, and your New Zealand pic is amazing!! It looks so ethereal! :cool: Whereabouts in NZ was it taken?
On the outkirts of wanaka, i have to admit the picture isnt mine, i was in this position so many times but i either forgot to either bring or even use my camera, I find it way too easy to get wrapped up in the moment and then think "wouldnt that have made a great picture... D'OH..."
Thank Something for the internet as most of my best memories are off people i met while traveling and hiking who kept in touch and shared the photo's that they managed to take while in my company.
I have a loads of others that are my own work but the quality isnt too clever as i only had a low MP camera with me at the time.
Never having posted a photo to the forum before, I hope this one uploads ok.

Beautiful and haunting Riffman :D
Loving that shot riffman - very spooky!
Thanks!
It was strange mist, 10 minutes later I could see nothing across the loch!
Nicely captured Riffman. Quality work.
With a better sky it would be fabulous.

Riffman,
Beautiful photograph, give a wonderful sense of tranquility.
Here's the sunset taken on Friday (16 May 2008) Looking West towards Thurso from Murkle. (Sigma 400mm lens)

stunning shot deemac wonderful colours
That's a great picture Deemac, brought back memories of my first visit to Caithness when we had one of the best sunsets I have ever seen.The sky and The Pentland Firth went through shades of yellow,to orange and then flame red, we watched from Dunnet Head as it transformed the whole vista.

Deemac,
Great picture, love the use of a long lens.

Caught these two tonight as the sun vanished over the hill.
Great photos Riffman, Deemac & Lizz.
Lizz - it looks like the Sun is starting to melt the ground as it touches it in the first one!
Deemac - If I hadn't seen many similarly amazing sunsets from Caithness & Sutherland I'd be thinking you tampered with the colour settings ;)
Here is one from a few years ago, Eilean Donan Castle at sunset. Heavily PS'ed

Macleod callum - love that picture with the trees reflected in the water. It's a good shot. How did you do that? Was it just a lucky point and click job, or did you have to use any special filters, etc? It's beautiful.
Fantastic photos, Average. I like them both a lot!

LIZZ, well caught.
Average, The photo of Eilean Donan Castle is beautifully processed, but my favourite of the two is the border sunrise, love the simplicity of the image.

"Tamper with the colour"!! God forgive. I'm a real photographer - my conscience would never allow me to alter my true art!!:eek:;)
OK (back to reality) - so maybe I adjusted the black & white points and sharpened a little . . . . . . :-))

I am going to assume that you are directing that to me. You are referring to Highlander? I think his name was Connor Maclead.
It was a couple of years ago but I think I had a ND filter and a Grad ND filter to balance the sky/water and enable a long exposure. An exposure time of approx 25 seconds gives the water it calm glassy look.
I did the same with the shot below, this is Crummock Water at sunrise.

Love the first two average, the castle always makes for a great picture but the tree in The Borders is almost oriental in it's aspect, could see that on the side of a Japaneses vase.

The sunsets the last two nights have been really beautiful. Caithness has surely some of the best sunsets in the world. ( my opinion at least)

Well hope that means the fine weather is back to stay!
Taken tonight (04 June 2008) looking towards Thurso - best for a long time (but still never got UNDER the cloud cover!!)

Am wondering why all the sunsets down here seem to be yellow / orange of late, not seen a decent red one in months, wonder if it's down to some form of pollution.

Quite the opposite Lizz. Red sunsets are more frequent when there is *more* pollution in the air, especially smoke. You should see some of the reds we get after large brush fires in California.
However there is some influence of particle size too. When there is a lot of dust (as opposed to tinier smoke particles), sunsets tend to be yellow.

LIZZ,
Great shots, the first one is a gem.
George Brims,
Wonderful cloud structure.
Quite amazing cloud formation gbrims and thanks for the polllution information, looks like I'm going to have to get the wind to veer southerly to get my red sunsets.

Lizz,
Some of the best sunsets happen during harvest time, the dust in the air from harvest providing the pollution.

Sunset!

Wow, real stunners, a great range of colours.

Wow great first posts Stroma! No 1 is lovely and the clouds look like smoke in no 2.
After a horrible misty and wet start to August I am rewarded with a beautiful evening sky!
