Very nice Hamish! Great composition (got it right that time)
I think the enhancement in LR has certainly given it a very appealing touch.
I take it this is shot with the new toy? Did you venture further onto the island?

 

[Hamish Gill]

No didn't go onto the island Dan, that would be trespassing

Not sure I have the grad right looking at it on my phone ... Bloody laptop screen is cack for that sorta thing!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Trespassing?! Wouldn't know a thing about that!
I NEVER get up to such thing.......

Blimey Hamish, that is a fantastic composition. The conflicting angles, the curve of the steps for the lock-arm and the house sitting behind. I think the graduation of the sky might be a bit too harsh though. But overall, that is definitely one for the album.

Very nice, I hope it is not just me but I am scanning some negatives at the moment and the images just have something about them that I don't get with digital.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Cheers Pete!
Yes I agree on the grad ... I'll fix it and repost later!
I want it near that dark, but without the grad showing ... Im pretty certain I have a way to do it!

Love that big dark cloud, Hamish!

 

[Hamish Gill]

cheers Brian, do you still like it? ive lessened the darkness to make it look more real...
Its easy to overdo things on my laptop without the photo screen (which is at the office...)

Lovely capture Hamish - fabulous clouds and comp - looks a little threatening that sky?

 

[Hamish Gill]

Threatening ... It was raining!
Can you see the slightly odd contrast on the house ... Spot of rain on the lens!

 

[Pete Askew]

Up by the central chimneys you mean?

 

[Hamish Gill]

Perhaps .. I'll post the original in a bit if I think to...
I got rid of much of it, but from memory it was mostly lower floor to the right ...

Can't beat a bit of weather in a photo - lovely
