Thanks Jakov, nice

Here are the corresponding images
First the 'Fire in the hole' crew that helped me out scouting for the location and helped by running away every-time I was shooting the Fish,,, Bez, Jakov and Simone

Really cool images!
Especially the first two.

Jacob, Frank, thank you.  No lighting team, just one very large Scottish light.

[Thomas Stellwag]

what a pitiy that others cannot hear the roar of the group of wild animals, taking the first of these 3  fish pictures

[simato73]

sorry Jakov to correct you: this was not hiking, this break  through of the surface into a mud hole was the German understanding of spa (at least for people with my specific ground pressure)

Did you go dipping in a peat bog?

[Frank Fremerey]

Erik. What I could not write before because of no internet in a certain Northern European country:
I love your shots on the bridge esp. The rusty one, my favorite. Although I never contemplated to
do fisheye myself I love to look at these images. I know the perspective from hundreds of 180°x360°.

That said I see what a big fish is really made for: action. The canoo shot is just what these things are
made for or any RedBull event. Pity you have to give this great tool back that was so well suited for your way
of seeing things.

PS. I am not sure if I wrote about my adoration for the composite with Mercury and Jurte? I love it.

[Thomas Stellwag]

Did you go dipping in a peat bog?

exactly  ....  and then took a bath in the warm river beside

[David Paterson]

Jacob, Frank, thank you.  No lighting team, just one very large Scottish light.

That is a very brave image which works really well and is the best I've seen yet of the castle. I think most people, including myself, would have been afraid of all that acreage of black, and would have cropped a lot of it.

[Erik Lund]

Thank you Frank, Simone et al! Much appreciated

The Mercury transit was merged with the domed tents above our Lodges

I will have one more go at shooting the 6mm on Saturday, Svend Erik at Photografica asked me to do some images in their shop - They where very pleased with the images they got So a huge thank you to all for the inspiring joy- and colorful company!

So many amazing images in this thread! A true pleasure to see them all! What a huge amount of diversity

[simato73]

we had superb light on that day. Love the mountain pano! On the way down I did a Loch Tay Pano calling now to be
developed. This will be a long thread!!!!

Thank you Frank.
Looking forward to seeing your pano.

[Jakov Minić]

What treatment did you give to this image?

Simone, first processed the colors in Photoninja, then opened in PS and tried using the Nik collection software for the first last night. A bit of HDR and sharpening if I remember correctly. But I am a novice to these filters - still learning...

[Mikes]

Mike, you have shown us all that you are a great landscape photographer. I really enjoyed your series of photos. Meeting you was also a pleasure

Jakov, thank you for your flattering comments. Great to have met you, although I feel that I already knew you. Many thanks for making me feel at home on my (late) day 1.

Mike.

Another take on Finlarig Castle and nearby, on a high contrast day.

[Thomas Stellwag]

so many excellent pictures from this group - images are as different as characters of the shooters.
I have the impression, that this landscape shows more of the photographers view as f.e.a busy city shoot does

pure landscape

Such cool photos from everyone!! I want to get on the plane and go right back to Scotland to get all the shots I missed because I was too busy socializing. <smile>

Thomas, looking forward to some Edinburgh castle shots from that loooong walk around it which Erik took us on. That park was so nice with the blooming cherry trees.
