When did you take that one of the Apostles, Kit? I was stood there again three days ago
Kit, excellent shots 😀
It was actually at the beginning of September. 2nd I think... Went back the next day to see them bathed in morning sunlight, instead of being blinded by the sunset!
I got a couple of decent ones at sunset, which I'll try to get on here sooner or later. I was slightly amused at the number of people trying to persevere with tripods in a gale though! No tripod made would hold a camera steady in the weather I was there in! I just shoved the ISO up and an ND Grad on the front, and hoped for the best, which seemed to work well enough.
Remember the Tufty Club?

zokes, I saw loads of amateurs (like me) using tripods for sunny daylight photos...couldn't understand why! I only ever need my tripod for shots in the forests, or the second one above which was taken in a glow worm cave 🙂

polarisandy, is there a way to contact you? (nothing in your profile).
Spent a few hours looking at your images this morning. I'd like to use some (12) of them for our company calendar (printing company) in exchange for something.
Email in profile if interested.
Cheers
Marty
Marty, i think have decoded your email addy and sent you a message.
Post back if not.
Cheers
Andy
MarkF, tell me about it..It's as if flickr want to get rid of all their customers.
I spend less time on there as the days go by.
Not all bad though as it's prompting me to sort my own website out and get on with the business of selling photos.
Shame though.
My recent trip to see a mate in Glasgow resulted in some fine riding at Kirroughtree, Drumlanrig and the Carron Valley. I'm equally proud of the photo's and my riding 😀

Durham biker - shot a wedding there last month. When they said their venue was a cave, well, I wasn't sure what to make of it. Glad I took a flash... Zokes - beautiful. Default slipper - those reflections are brilliant!
Oh, and Andy Polaris - glad you're getting the recognition you defifnitely deserve - hope that turns into a fruitful relationship.
It's certainly an interesting venue!
I'm not a photographer by any stretch of the imagnation, this is just a snapshot I'm quite pleased with
