Such a delightful surprise for our local initiator, Dave et al.

Join you in the wish to see how this appears in situ on the wall.

This will not be its final resting-place, but I want it to be seen by as many visitors as possible, so for now it is in the central hallway of the house, just beyond the always-open kitchen door. So as we tend to congregate with friends in the kitchen, all who come will see the print, and of course, the frame. Both are magnificent.

Not a very good picture, this.   :-\

Anthony you nailed it: teamwork  thx to Erik who gave me access to a file, we were able to give Dave a bit back what he gave to the group
I rate your comment about framing really high, because you´re the one who has spent a hour with me in my shop and listend
to the story about my way of doing it - 2 years ago?
reading the pms of Dave, I feel quite well to have found his  and Mayumi´s taste
thx to other positive comments which I see more directed vs Erik, because he did the image - I only got it printed and processed

Great cooperative work!  The 6mm fisheye should symbolize this great Scotland gathering, and I'm sure that the beautiful memory is beautifully epitomized in this stunning image.

Kudos to Erik and Thomas!

Dave, I hope you feel much better now.

"I   do not like these pictures because I got no round frames"

who said that?

I feel the rectangular looks even better than a perfect square would have looked.

Super work.

Super generous Erik and Thomas!

That is how I came to know about the quality of your framing work.

Lovely image Erik and great work Thomas.  I hate the saying, but for once a really nice example of "working outside of the square"!   ;D 

Your pre-trip metalwork Erik in creating the lens support system has paid real dividends in enabling the capture of this style of  image.  Preparation is everything.

Compliments also to Dave and Mayumi on what looks to be a beautiful spring garden.  (I  see  a lot of solar panels - worthwhile at your northerly latitude?)

That is a stunning image, beautifully printed and framed - it's one of the best and most innovative from the Scotland visit in my view. Well done Erik and Thomas and well deserved, Dave.
