Sunsets are tricky. They're actually bland when there are no clouds (plus, you get a few minutes to take the shot, so your tripod better be in place ahead of time). You need a lot of clouds to get one of those shots that awe everyone. Look for a cloudier day, come back to this spot and take the shot again. It will look way better.

That's a good point. I actually hand held that shot. Tomorrow should have some clouds. I got a great lizard picture. I’ll upload it when I have a better connection.

Edit: Straight from the camera with a crop. Might clean it up later. Doing all of this off my phone.

That's not a great lizard, that's a small lizard

Trip to Inverness last weekend. Saw a Golden eagle - the first wild one I've ever seen (for certain) in this country. It was on the marsh/sands at Culbin Forest, east of the city. When it took to the skies (being chased by gulls and crows), it flew closer.

Birds in flight look stranded with a plain (grey) sky behind them. These are post-processed RAW images.

Just awesome.

Thought I'd add a straight-from-camera jpeg. Too far away to process, but this is the 'enforced' crow escort. I love the wings in sync.
