Experimented with my friends lightbox and flowers from her garden. Used a variety of Topaz plugins (Clarity, Adjust and Impression 2).
A pleasant waterfall in the Allt na Drochaide burn, a tributary to the Water of Ruchill, Glen Artney.
This was the first, and so far only, time I've felt the urge to invert the tripod's centre-column and dangle the camera millimetres above the water. In the process, I discovered a bug with the Pentax K-1: if you use live-view upside-down, the image inverts itself correctly but all the settings controls (histogram, etc) do not. It's tricky enough wondering where the control dials have gone, let alone where the numbers they control are to be found on screen. D'oh!

I regret not bringing my FA43 to the same lookout point that I previously shot the week before with the Sol 45. I thought it would make for an interesting comparison between the two lenses.
A week later and it was significantly hotter, and the water run off looking somewhat less impressive. Mind you... the Sol 45 would give the water that added extra look of volume as well (that really wasn't there at the time).
Which do you prefer?
(Sol 45 version in comments)
"Oh, I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow, moon shadow, moonshadow---
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow---
And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land,
Oh if I ever lose my hands, Oh if I won't have to work no more.
And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colours all run dry,
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, Oh if I won't have to cry no more."
-Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens)
song came to mind as I was working on the image and it seemed appropriate on many levels.
This unearthly view is known as the "moonscape" overlook, at Factory Butte, Utah. It is appropriately named. In various hues of purple in the pre-dawn light it looks vaguely ominous and definitely mysterious.
I had been trying various comps with the cool outcropping formations on this overlook, but nothing quite worked. So I decided to try a 2 frame pano, so I could catch a pair of the outcroppings from the overlook to form a frame, and that definitely seemed to work better for me.
Taken on a trip out west with Kevin Benedict back in April. One of those shots that I wasn't all that enamored with initially, but with a little bit of tweaking, mainly in the aspect and cropping, I decided it's decent enough. I've been hanging on to a whole crop of shots lately both because they're the ones that didn't quite work for me right away and because I've been just wicked swamped at work. Hopefully I can take a little time to start catching up on the photography soon.
