Show Your Snaps...February 13, 2023

Hi Dunlin, Very nice.

It's good to see the Crocus, now thats one plant I've not seen flowering as yet.

Hi all,

This Morning, Tuesday, walked down into the valley to get this shot of the Viaduct and Aqueduct from ground level.

Mocha,

Do the viaducts and aqueducts date from Roman times, or are they more recent?

Hi stevet1,

Chirk Aqueduct is a 70-foot (21 m) high and 710-foot (220 m) long navigable aqueduct that carries what is now the Llangollen Canal across the Ceiriog Valley near Chirk, on the England-Wales border, spanning the two countries.

The foundation stone was laid on 17 June 1796 and it was completed in 1801

The Viaduct was built between 1846 and 1848.

Here's a sunrise I captured one morning. The red colors were stunning. I don't know if I have seen anything like it. I kept taking different ones. It was hard to pick which one was my favorite. I hope you like them too.

Thanks for the reply. Your sunset looks super as well.

Thanks.

I wanna show this one too-it is my favorite one so far and i took it 2 days ago on the same evening, but on the beach.

Award-winning level i think-might actually enter it somewhere;-)

That is an amazing photo.  You definitely should enter it.  Also, the weather website I use in Canada shows relevant photos daily.  May be a one in your area.

Great job !

Thanks a lot! Something telling me to enter it into a photo competition. I already entered it into the DPR challenge called 'My Best Photo of the Fortnight'. So 🤞

Thanks!

I did some light editing, nothing crazy at all.

Hawkypuck,

What a pretty picture.

You were smart to take a vertical approach too.

Steve Thomas

Thanks steve.

I used the nifty fifty!- actually a 80mm on my camera, so a nifty eighty:-D

I shot it vertical because i did not want to get the cluttered outsides in frame, and people were walking next to me-ruined a few shots-and because i was using an 80mm eq., i had to ahot vertical to get the sky, and the water/puddles in frame.

I just decided to do vertical, idk why, ny gut told me to:-)

Hawkypuck,,

No, the vertical approach leads the eye right up into the sky. I liked your long exposure too.

Can I offer a suggestion?

Crop the picture to eliminate the light pole on the left.

It centers the waves in the frame and removes a distraction at the same time.

Steve Thomas

Good suggestion-but i framed the shot specifically to have the flagpole in the frame and as a bit of a 'subject' and as a human 'touch'.

Thanks mocha.

Excellent shots mocha123. 👍
