How many days have you got I can take you to tin mines on the coast with some big stones around them
Stayed in Callington (my great grandmother lived in Callington as child) a few Christmases ago. It never snows here, our landlady said. It snowed on Boxing Day
In fact we got caught in a wintry flurry on Bodmin Moor visiting a tin mine that had been turned in to a museum - you probably know the one.
Don't like this anywhere near as much as the protrait.
To much rock and not enough scene, it's also lost that artistic look which I liked so much.
I agree with you Pops, the landscape version has too much rock for my taste. The portrait version is very delicate. I should like to see the one with the extra punch Stephen.
Just as a matter of interest, what is the idea behind this type of processing? Is it supposed to make it appear more like a painting and less like a photograph?
Do you mean the alledgedly unhygenic well known tourist trap on the A30 was in the loacal news the other week
Actually it was some farmhouse holiday cottages - quite nice and good value; we went with another family and rented two cottages. You must alert me about this other place next time I'm in the area!
I feel that there are two photographs here Ian. The top one, on its own, does not really work for me, it doesn't seem to be in focus. However, the bottom one has more to offer. As it is, I don't like the water falling half way through the picture. The lightness, drags my eye to it, making it seem like two pics.
When I scroll to show the top half, there is insufficient focus to hold my attentiion, but if you scroll to show just the water and the submerged tree, it seems pin sharp and it more interesting -just my opinion, you understand. I like the pp of the bottom half.
Yup, I can see what you mean, but for me the bottom half is incomplete without the top

Its not especially to make it look like a painting Audrey, just to give the image a different feel and bring out the texture, colour etc of the rock and landscape. I particularly like what it does to the clouds, giving them much more shape and form and generally making them look more dramatic and 3D like.

[QUOTE=Andrew Thatcher;30387]Here one of an old barn i spotted on a drive the day before everyone else got up there. We went back to take some more shots the next day.
This is a most unusual photograph with an old fashioned look. I really like it and wondered how you achieved it. Does it look a bit oversharpened or is that part of the whole look? Not the usual run of the mill. It's nice to see something different.

Bet you are not going to tell us how you did it so that we can try it on our own pics. (Or are you?)

Thanks Autumn. All you do is just duo-tone it before you do any big changes to it with curves and that changes the tones. as for over-sharping not too sure i don't normally sharpen that much.
Re: Jolly Boys (and Girls) Outing to Lake District
Can I just say thank you to all who have contributed photographs to this thread. I have had a lovely time gazing upon them.
The one that has stayed in my mind is #37, it has the quality of a sensitive watercolour, the colours and textures drawing me ever in. It's a wonderful scene in reality, but you have added something to it Stephen. That's not to say I haven't enjoyed every one ... they all make a wonderful whole.

Thanks for your comment, you can see how its done if you check out my post in the Lightroom forum
Just for you here is another taken at the same place
Re: Jolly Boys (and Girls) Outing to Lake District
Thanks for posting another, the colours in this one are a little richer perhaps, but #37 definitely has something in my eyes. I think you must have been hauling boulders as they appear in just the right places in that one.
The unprocessed (?) #37 in the Lightroom Forum is also very harmonious with the same neutral/pastel quality. Just as lovely but two very different photographs.
