Going Local
One of the few shots I've had recently that's worth sharing. It's a just a section of a small river running through my home town of Pontardawe in South Wales. Constructive comments welcome.

Can you recommend a smartphone that takes photos that look both natural and beautiful? I'm tired of photos that look so fake. What do you think of the OPPO Find X10 Pro Max?

In The Round Practice
Hey everyone. Recently some Pep Ventosa work came across my social media and it inspired me to get out and try his in the round technique again. I've tried it before without a ton of success.

Exploring a different angle.....
I posted recently about how using the Bluristic app angle mode could simulate the action used in the Pep Ventosa 'in the round' technique.

Grain silo
A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)

Hi, this photo is gorgeous! :)
Thank you Marisa.
A super interesting shot! What worries me is: what usvthe subject? The water around the yellow spot or the yellow spot? In case it us the yellow sot a cut out would work better: less cluttered.
In honesty it was the textures in the scene that I wanted to capture rather than a specific element, though I was conscious of the composition and the flow of the water through the image. For me the spot on the rock provides a little additional interest but was not the subject per se.
Actually the whole black and white thing and then a sparkle of gold is what made this pic for me :)
