I'm leaning towards this version - wonderful perspective from the birds and then ranging out into the haze with the bluffs either side. B&W seems to enhance this perception for me.

Liking this as a b&w for the textures as well as the tones. The reflections are great too.

Ripper. A very photogenic colony. Colour ftw.

Great catch and no strings atached! Wish I could taken a pic of you at work. I have a mini ball head thingamy - it's foot sits in the camera hot shoe and the other end screws into the lume cube. It's about 75mm long, and you can manoeuvre the lc around and clamp for different lighting angles. Cost about $3 from Chinese ebay outlet.

haha! nice catch!(is it still alive?)

Invasion of the giant space spiders!

Only a bit to the highlights slider to bring it under clip.

no not at all I would presume. I was closer the fray than they were and didn't realize it because it was dark. the lume cube is though!

Are the Oly and the Lumix shower-proof?

8 seconds seems an age even allowing for the other parameter values. The footpath surface and the wet grass have come up nicely - have you tamed the street light much?

Looking forward to your rear gel filter results ....
