A Galaxy Not Too Far Away...

The Andromeda Galaxy, M31, is visible with the naked eye.

Here is a humble attempt at Astro Photography, a subject that truly fascinates me.

Unfortunately this is not a hobby for impatient souls, but whenever the nightshift weathergod permitts I am out and learning and hopefully one day my skills will be much better than this rather amateurish photo... watch that space haha...

New RB Features

Resurrection

Sunset

I am very happy that "Resurrection" was featured in yet another two groups, as well as another feature for "The Hole" and two features for "Keiss Harbour"

"Sunset" was announced the challenge winner in the Celtic Realm group.

Me-time

This morning I have spent a little "Me" time down at Thurso pier. I translated many of my ideas into photos and I must say it was a rather productive hour... (flipping cold though)

Here are just a few of the shots that I took this morning...

Expect the Unusual

Well, from now on I set myself the task to experiment with some (for myself) rather not so commonly used print shapes.

Having dived and fully submerged into the "Square" format, I am very much enjoying the slim vertical panorama shape at the moment too.

Here are some "vertical firsts"... More to follow...

RB News

I have had another 4 of my photos featured in various groups of Redbubble, as well as another Challenge win. "Sunset", "Resurrection", " Keiss Harbour" and "The Hole" (above) were featured and "Coo" won in a group Challenge.

Its Grunge Time

exactly what it says on the tin :-) Square, of course!

Redbubble Features

Over the weekend I got three more Redbubble features for my work. Two photos have previously been shown here on the blog. For "Coo" its the first feature in a group, beside having been featrued on the RB homepage. For "Top Secret Location" its the 6th feature in a group, beside two top tens in challenges.

"Surfing The Ocean Of Time" is my latest creation in my Grunge series, more of that later on...

Sleeping Beauties

Whenever I trail though my extensive photo library I like to explore further possibilities that I havent thought of when I shot the photo at the time.

It is very exciting to re-discover some long forgotten "Sleeping Beauties"

Here are a few more that have finally come to see the light...

Thurso At Night

With the nights drawing shorter and shorter I did another little night shoot this week... Here are some of Thurso`s great nighttime views...
