Hi all,

Just back from a few days camping on Eigg (via Camusdarach). Suffered a bit from photographer's paranoia that all the good light was happening where I wasn't and was on foot so couldn't chase it, but fairly pleased with some of what I came away with despite a few missed opportunities. Think I'm getting to grips with the E-M5 properly now as well.

Image mega-dump follows.

amazing mate. Maybe a little inspiration for the next scape? ;) after all... that seaweed does look like crypts.... ;)
 
The dog was a bloody idiot. Came hairing across the beach from out of nowhere then proceeded to dig holes in front of my tripod every time I tried to set up a shot. Played that game for about half an hour before spotting it's owner on a cliff a mile or two away and ran off again.
 
Beautiful photos. Good time to camp, too early for midges to be bad. I need to see more of our islands...
 
;)
It's the same on here though.
Forums are where sheep gather.
 
They are all lovely pictures and its really hard to find a personal favourite of mine, but I think I love the textural shots especially the little rivulets running down the beach, but then again, I tend to gravitate towards more abstract images and seeing beauty in the often missed. For me, they work really well as a body of work with the big landscapes and detail together. Together they Illustrate a story missed by just seeing a single picture. I took a quick look at your photography site, I reckon your pictures are quality Tom!

I had no idea this site had a photography section and there were so many talented photographers contributing. Little wonder everyone's tanks are shot so well!
 
absolutely stunning photos.

I would be interested to know what is the exposure time on photos 5 through 7
thakn you

Thanks Humbert.

Exposure times were...

5. 239 seconds (using a 10 stop ND filter at sunset)
6. 139 seconds (stacked 10 and 4 stop filters at mid-afternoon)
7. 8 seconds (10 stop filter at mid-afternoon)[DOUBLEPOST=1398852500][/DOUBLEPOST]

I think aquascaping and photography tend to go hand in hand really, lots of people on here seem to end up buying a DSLR as an essential piece of aquarium equipment :p

Thanks for the thoughtful response, I too really like some of the more abstract shots I got, but you're right in that they are quite difficult to present as images in their own right - they do much better with some context.
 
Brilliant landscape shots! Only wished I was motivated enough to trek to places during odd hours to take photos like these.
 
I like number 4 feels like i'm there! I like the feel of motion you've captured and reminds me of what it's like to live by the sea. Most days are lower in light, like a great weather god procrastinating what to throw at our shores next.
