I went on a photo-group meet up tonight for the first time ever. It was nice to meet people with similar interests and to see how other approach photography. Also got to meet a very famous local photographer! This is one of my top 3 photos from the evening.
The slowly fading sun creeps behind the horizon beyond
The orange skies and cool winds I am very fond
No matter how crazy a day I have had
I feel relaxed now, and will go to bed glad
ODC: Tranquil

So difficult to achieve peace
Cabarita Beach, Northern NSW
Again, a shot I would never get without a big lens.
My love affair with my new (old, broken VC) Tammie continues.
I suppose with a working VC I would have shot this @ 1/320th and ISO 100 - but at full stretch without VC it's hard to get away with anything under 1/1000th. The girls in this shot were about 700 metres away.
Inspired by Flickr contacts, Alan (www.flickr.com/photos/tallaltiger1050/) and Graham (www.flickr.com/photos/inkslinger15/) I have made several visits to Hartley Mauditt, Hampshire to attempt to shoot a sunset but until last night the conditions had not been right!
This is a really tranquil location when the conditions are right with St Leonards Church surrounded with trees in the background which dates back 1100AD reflecting on the perfectly still water of the foreground pond. Hartley Mauditt is known as the 'Ghost Town of Hampshire' as the church is now the only building in the town and all other buildings are buried in surrounding fields!
It was a perfect evening watching the sunset develop and the only noise was of monster carp splashing on the surface of the water!
I shall return in the winter when the trees have lost their leaves when the sun sets further South to photograph a different perspective of this location!

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

This photo was taken at Thanga Campsite on Bali Pass Trek. Thanga campsite provides excellent view of Garhwal Himalayan peaks such as Swargarohini, Black Peak etc. in Bandarpunch range.
One of those rare moments of peace and tranquility.

Located in the Clyde Murshiel Regional Park behind Greenock and Gourock, Loch Thom is a man-made Loch, originally created to feed the Greenock Cut and provide much needed water to the rapidly industrialising Greenock. It is named after Robert Thom, the Architect who designed The Cut. Very little breeze and the warmest day we've had this year made for a lovely peaceful sunset over Loch Thom on Tuesday. (looks best on black)
Another image taken at my recent visit to Langstone Harbour, Hampshire to capture the sunset.
This image was taken about 20 minutes after the sun had dropped below the horizon and shows the afterglow colour reflecting on the still water in the harbour!
