Even At 10mm with my tripod in the water I still couldnt manage to get this washed up prehistoric looking tree branch completely in frame.I was intrigued though so You'l have to forgive the in-yer-face composition......I think it just about works. well Like everyone else the bad weather has meant no picture taking for me.I had a play with an old shot to brighten my day.Based around a sunset shot I had on the south wales coast.some edge enhancment issues due to the compression so hope you can look passed that.look largecheers alex Digital Art This reminds me of what one of saturns moons might be like. Found a new location today...im so excited..lol! Happy viewing and thanks for the encouragement look big cheers alex heres an old one....amazing what you find on harddrives these days:) This discarded Log was washed up,a bit in yer face but I like it. Click for Large Heritage coast again Digital art work againclick for larger Jacob says "move the Island":) Vertorama at Rest Bay south wales.... many thanks for your kind comments and clicks:) Same sort of thing as dancing on ice.   thanks for looking left Sparse as the storm approaches...apart from a lonely tog looking for symmetry:)   CLICK FOR LARGE utalising the new D300's fps I was able to capture this owl in  mid flight. the 3D tracking on this camera is superb as well as the metering which has exposed the bird perfectly while underexposing the shady pine trees behind ..giving this isloated macro type feel to the image.   Something a bit different eh!:) [B]Also [/B]sometimes called Nelson's Tower, this is a substantial folly with - like a lot of follies - a fascinating tale behind its construction. Situated just outside of Llandeilo, the story behind this tower is that it was built in 1811 by Sir William Paxton, as proof to everyone that he was not bankrupt after running an unsuccessful election campaign in 1802. [B]Election Fiasco[/B]It is recorded that he spent £15,000 on entertainment, a small fortune in those times, to woo the voters - but he still lost, admittedly by a small margin though.   Initially to prove he was not financially finished he wanted to build the bridge across the river Towy that he had promised should he have won the election, but permission was refused. The story continues that undaunted he then constructed this magnificent triangular folly with its central hexagonal turret on a hill overlooking the Towy river. [B]However[/B] the story does not stand up to scrutiny, as in the intervening period he had won the election of 1806, so he no longer really had to prove anything, to anyone.    Maybe he just liked folly towers, because the plaque that Paxton placed on the tower indicates it was built to commemorate Lord Nelson's victories, this may be the rather mundane truth, which is no good for a story behind a folly! It is an extremely difficult place to get anything from photography wise as local togs will testify to....so I attempted a slightly different approach using the 10-20mm
