Spring Vs Winter.

 

[Ultra Violent]

Good old Photo shop. Lol. I've heard of Puple Rain, but not Purple Snow.

 

[steamship]

Nice contrast with the Spring Vs Winter. A quick flip and crop produces this (hope you don't object to me using your photo).

 

[Ultra Violent]

Nah. Not at all. Just started using photoshop and the like.
Will be keeping my eye open for some nice photo opps in the future.

 

[Ghost]

UV I like the #13 photo, and yes it works what Steamship did :icon_thumright:
Iv never used photoshop or anything like it, only the Crop tool but willl look into this wizardry :icon_thumright:

 

[Ghost]

Not the best of photos but that’s wildlife for you lol
If you can see on that lamb what looks like litter is the skin of a dead lamb

 

[Sandra]

Fantastic picture spooky. I saw them doing that with the skin on the countryfile programme, thanks for sharing with us. x

January in the lakedistrict

 

[Ghost]

This will be a good time of year to see Bluebells, and maybe a chance of a good photo opportunity?


Can anyone tell me when poppies come into bloom, and where I may see them?

 

[Sandra]

Ah Bluebells, i love them. x

 

[Kelza]

I will get bluebells no problem poppies come out in the summer months ,last place i worked had them all over the garden ,looked lovely

 

[Ghost]

Now is good time to get out there a take some photos of fields of yellow rapeseed

Those are really excellent pictures Spooky. Im not sure which is my favourite though, its probably the one with the poppies, rapeseed, daisies and grass in it. Thanks for sharing x

Just checking depth of field, or daffodils, guys with this new Fuji machine... Hmmm...

 

[45bvtc]

I kid you not Spooky (and Sandra) I find the results from these Panasonic DMC machines amazingly good, and difficult to improve on even with 'modern' interchangeable lens cameras costing 10-times as much...

I need to play some more with the Fuji X-E2, but I am NOT convinced at date

Offers considered

Oh, and the DMC (TZ10 and/or TZ40) just slips into the pocket/glovebox... HELLO?

Sudbury Hall: Fuji X-E2 with a 35mm

 

[Ghost]

The photo looks very good quality John, :icon_thumright:

I’m in the market for a new compact camera, think I will give the Canon IXUS a look.

 

[DAYTONA 500]

Some Spring Bulbs in my garden taken with the TZ35.

You'd be very welcome to try/evaluate my cameras Spooky but as you're so distant...
