andybarton Posted February 13, 2007 Share #1 Posted February 13, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) R8/28 Elmarit-R/Velvia 50 This place is within walking distance of where we are staying this year. I feel a walk coming on. (Golden Eagles fly across here too) [That's enough Islay for now... Ed.] [ATTACH]25639[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Hi andybarton, Take a look here Standing stones at Machir Bay. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stunsworth Posted February 13, 2007 Share #2 Posted February 13, 2007 Nice and moody Andy, it's a pity about the sky being so noisy though. I assume the original was ok. That Elmarit is a good lens ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted February 13, 2007 You're right. It could do with either re-taking or re-scanning. The 19 is better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglouis Posted February 13, 2007 Share #4 Posted February 13, 2007 Fascinating capture. I've not seen a formation like that before. LouisB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted February 13, 2007 Share #5 Posted February 13, 2007 andy - Gorgeous, lush tones and details, lovely depth and framing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted February 13, 2007 Fascinating capture. I've not seen a formation like that before. LouisB The standing stones are entirely man-made. We came across these by chance - someone had been there before us (obviously... ) and stood small stones on their ends on the rocks. Why, I don't know, but I shall have another look this summer.

odenty Posted February 16, 2007 Share #8 Posted February 16, 2007 Hey, it looks like Newton is weak here! Beware of the wind when you are there, as you might have a closer look to the golden eagles. I had never seen a place where the gravity was that much lower than average! I really like the picture and the feeling of alien world that you nicely captured... Thanks for sharing!

ECliffordSmith Posted February 16, 2007 Share #9 Posted February 16, 2007 Andy, Very nice composition and what a scene! Beautiful! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share #10 Posted February 16, 2007 Thanks Gentlemen The light on the islands is fabulous, so I can see myself spending more time here this year than I could afford last time we were there. I am also going to try to get up to Lewis before someone sticks 181 450ft high wind turbines all over the place... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted February 16, 2007 Share #11 Posted February 16, 2007 Yes, I heard that they seemed to have got the go-ahead on the news this morning. One thing bothers me though. If wind power becomes really, really popular, won't we be taking so much energy out of the atmosphere that wind power itself will start to affect the climate :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanydave Posted February 16, 2007 Share #12 Posted February 16, 2007 How will I get me washing dry? Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share #13 Posted February 16, 2007 You will have to use a tumble dryer, powered by the electricity generated by the wind that would have dried your washing for nothing if it hadn't all been used up generating electricity I sense some madness here...

stunsworth Posted February 16, 2007 Share #14 Posted February 16, 2007 Not as mad as city dwellers buying wind turbines though ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share #15 Posted February 18, 2007 I have re-scanned this one this afternoon. Twice. I did a normal scan for the beach and the foreground, but turned the volume up to 11 in Vuescan to bring as much out of the sky as possible, and then combined the two scans into one. Needed a lot of work though. [ATTACH]26218[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
