I went out driving the new car along many a dirt road trying to find a hidden away creek, however I got lost and couldn't find my way. Here are some shots I got on the way home.

These were taken with the Tokina 12-24 with the UV filter off. After reading an article the other day I thought I'd give it a shot without the filter and the images seem very sharp out of the camera.

All taken in RAW at ISO200 and I think f/11 for all 3 images.

Something magic going on with no 1. But maybe a tighter crop would help...that bush on the extreme right could go, perhaps.

#1 is a beautiful rendition of a contra jour shot but with enough detail to make it mesmerising - guess what? I like :D

Wow Owen - nice work.
I too like #1 the most. I also think if you crop a bit of sky out it'd be magical, well..more magical than it is already!

Well done!

#1 is a corker Owen. I agree with Matt and geoff re the magical quality. Submit it for Shrek 6 :) :wink:

Owen - I would not crop any of this pic simply because you would lose the most important aspect - the space/object relationship. By having a large amount of sky you show just how small we all are in this cosmos :D

ditto!ditto! Well said Chris, exactly what I was thinking. What do they say about great minds? :wink:
Anyway the sky area will provide the necessary title space etc for the Shrek movie :lol: :lol:

Hi Owen

You should 'get lost' more often. Inspiring shots. Well done.
