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

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

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

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

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