My wife caught this beautifully. Our old Goldie on one of her last walks before she left us..

Crystal clear light, Magnificent colours, combined to take your breath away....

Holiday picture ... Views to die for ... Scotland in the Spring

In the midst of a rare heatwave there was only one place to be ...

Tobermory, Mull. Often overlooked Harbour Fountain, sadly neglected, should be the centrepiece of this picturesque seafront.

Behind The Lens

Location

High in the Brecon Beacons of Mid-Wales, Spring comes late for these hardy Welsh mountain sheep.

Time

It was a grey morning, low cloud .. not very pleasant .. but this little chap was an inspiration .. obviously absolutely delighting in his surroundings, and the company of other lambs.

Lighting

Very even, flat, natural light, clear mountain air helped bring out the colours.

Equipment

A borrowed Sony compact camera used. Nothing fancy.

Inspiration

Love Wildlife and nature in general.

Editing

To be honest, the entire photo was larger than this .. cropped down to focus on the expression on the lambs face. Always remember being told years ago, 'Look at your picture, and decide the story you want to tell .. don't get greedy and try and show everything you see, even if you are tempted.' This bit of sage advice has helped me throughout my photographic journey.

In my camera bag

I have a Canon Digital SLR I normally carry .. lately experimenting with a Camera phone, but realizing how good my Canon is!

Feedback

Remember your camera bag .. I didn't in this case so camera was borrowed.
