Comments very welcome, the good and the bad. Thanks for looking.

Its good to see the old lake with water in her again. I quite like the skiing photos, shame the subject is a tad dark in them. Were you matrix metering? Beautiful place and collection.

Cheers

Were you matrix metering?

yeh i was using matrix, should i be or shouldnt i be, I have others where the subject is exposed correctly, but its kinda hard to get a good metering when you bouncing around in the back of a speedboat only a couple of inches away from the water, not wanting to loose the camera These were just the ones that interested me the most.

Heres one that turned out a bit better exposure wise.

Never been there NJ but pics show that it is a nice place, and looks you had fun.

#3, #6 and #7 are standouts for me. Love the little birdy, kind of reminds me of a cartoon with it's pose and cheeky attitude.

#6 and #7, I guess I'm just a sucker for a nice reflection, personally #6 works a little better due to the light and also more interesting geography.

The action shots didn't really grab me, not sure why.

Great series! Number 6 is superb.

G'day,
Great to see the lake looking good again, looks like you had a ball

Loved #2, makes me think of two mates goin' fishin'... #3 (the boid) looks sharp as! I'd be tempted to crop the top and bottom of #6 to make a pano out of it...

Hey guys, thanks for all the kind comments. Yeah i had a great time up there. Mudder here is a go at the pano, your right i reckon it does look good!

What do you guys think, original or panorama?

I like the pano. I didn't know Eildon had water in it. I just thought it was a mud bath.

Woah, pano for sure! Looks great...

Pano! The original looks fantastic, but but...

Pano it is then! Great thinking Mudder, i would not have thought to do it!:)

That's the beauty of a constructive forum like this, there's always someone with either an idea or a different view

Cheers.

Eildon can produce some spectacular shots at sunrise/sunset. Although we didn't really get to see the sunset I don't think at the Doon because of the bloody hill on the opposite side of the lake that always used to block it!

That pano worked a treat, makes you wish you were there. Excuse my ignorence but where is Elidon?
