Critique Welcomed Old Hills, Callow End

[Kev Pugh]

An odd day yesterday in the Shire. rather overcast, hazy with the sun trying it's best at times. Took the Dawgs out up the Old Hills, Callow End. So called because they are Hills, they are Old and they are yes you guessed in Callow End.

There are many trees up there many have or are in the process of dying I know not why but I like them for what they are.

Now they have a very sombre feel to them Kev which I like a lot. I think I can feel the atmosphere you were trying to convey. Nice.

Couple of really nice images there, Kev. I think I prefer the first one but the 2nd one is growing on me: I like the near horizon with the top of that other tree popping up. Very nice.

Thanks Both, the light was so different in the second one, and it was literally the second shot, and only 4 mins apart and of course the first being shot into the light. The sky was a huge soft box...

You really did a great job with these Kev. I always have to force myself to get out on the grey days...just because there are so many around here. You have proved...to me...that it can be worth it. Nice work.

Thanks Glenn.

Top rack Kev!
The first one is blinding!! It's beautiful. It really portrays the views of the Shire.
Love the framing too, perfect for that shot...
What software do you use for them?

Thanks Dan, I'm sill using old PS3,
1. I'm as tight as a ducks A***,
2. I CBA to upgrade, and
3. I'm old school and believes in 'if it ain't broke, why fix it...'

I've been a tad quiet of late, as you may have noticed, but I'm not lost in a wilderness of neverland........

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Being lost in neverland is not a bad thing Kev. Good to have some time to reflect and take photos. Me on the other hand, hardly get to do that in neverland and the rest of those other lands. Lol.

Hope your doing fine Kev.

I'm cool Dan Man just doing the thing you know, just need to get out more, take more, do more, see more, and say no more, know what I mean, nudge, nudge, wink, wink!

Pleased you have lead in the old pencil congrats

am thinking of getting the old back room up and running and ditching the digi......

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Haha! How weird, just asked you about your dark room on another thread. Lol.

Your dark room was so much fun and super interesting!!
Loved it! I still have my first analogue print, and STILL awaiting to get off my *** and stick it in a frame in the wall! Lazy **** I is! Lol

 

[Beth Carter]

both are really nice, but the second stands out for me. love the tree limb pointing you into the frame and towards the bush.
