I recognise the first images location? Not to dark Rob a superb image for me. Yet I cannot see why other versions would not be equally as strong.
On to the second image, just love it a stunner.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Julian. Yes, I've been here many times - my favourite fresh-air walk, just 20 minutes away by bus.

 

[Beth Anthony]

great shots, but the first one really works for me. i like the soft light on the grass and the grain.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Beth. I love the grain in the first.

Hey Rob;

wOw --- I utterly ADORE that grain in the first image, right up my street, awesome capture and talent. Imagine that as a 30"x20" sized wall print, brilliant!!!

I used to shoot Kodak T-Max 3200 asa in 35mm format years ago, then push it a stop to 6400 asa, the developing time alone from memory was 18 minutes, loved it! I love my grain, it doesn't make you a bad person.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ha. I'm sure you're not a bad person, Peter! Glad you like it!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

I like 'em both Rob - the first one reminds me of an Adam's shot - moon over somewhere… sorry, need to look it up

Love the tree branch vignette in #2 - works really well

 

[Rob MacKillop]

That'll be "Moon Over Cramond", I think you'll find, Chris Well, I'm in good company there!

 

[Pete Askew]

Certainly not too dark Rob. That first one merges the idea of land and sea beautifully. You've been hexed it seems!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I sure have been! Love this camera...

Oh, memories - I loved this album!

Hernandez New Mexico I think @Chris Dodkin.

 

[Brian Moore]

I love that first one, Rob. Not too dark for me. Just enough light to provide mood and effect. Beuaty!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I'll have to go back when the moon is up...



Thanks for your comment, Brian. Really appreciated.

 

[Matthew McKendry]

Definitely not too dark. I love the understated style and drama of photos like that, very nice Rob. Also the branches and the rays in the second shot are brilliant!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Mathew.
