A strange day yesterday weather wise, very gusty wet and windy during the day and then suddenly it all vanished just before the sun went down, so I scurried off for a quick capture of the last light

One of my favourite little local spots - Thought id try and create something with a bit of an artwork feel

Sorry for being a bit absent, hopefully get round all your galleries soon! :)

Have a great weekend

Thanks for Looking!

Outstanding Ric,way cool.I sometimes get those odd patchs in the sky when i shoot into the sun,i think it has something to do with the sensor.I have read somewhere that you can damage the filter in front of sensor by shooting at the sun,never stoped me though.You can sometimes help by selecting the patch and then increase or decrease the exposure,works sometimes.rich
