Glen Freelander

Just got back from 2 weeks in Scotland. We covered Loch Ness/Inverness and then St Andrews (no I don't play golf but it's a lovely place). Anyway, whilst driving over Glen Coe, I stopped for some pics. The pics showing the rear of the FL2 has Ben Nevis in the background.

Shame these aren't eligible for the summer photo competition but then again my photo taking skills can't compete with some of the forum members.

Here we go :

Looks pretty good! Sure taz will say something about exposure or lens size. But I will give you 8.754 out of 10

Cheers

I didn't take any time to consider various settings for better pics. I just took a quick photo with my Panasonic Lumix 7 megapixel camera in auto mode. It's a fairly basic compact camera, 6x optical zoom. Not a bad pic overall LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Nothing wrong with them Doc As snappa says, unusual to have a clear view of the Ben.

As an eligible bachelor one has one's place in social circles to protect, and with due respect, one cannot have a mange owd impoverished trout on one's plate to contend with. Therefore as the intermediary, you'll have to put more on the table to make it worthwhile putting up with the midges.

Is that her only property - is it free of mortgage - what other liquidity does she possess - is she fully insured health n death - is her predisposition frigid or frisky - any kids - is she a member of the SNP or a Tory - and finally, is she in full working order, has all her faculties and limbs, and very presentable? Subject to the aforementioned being satisfactorily discharged one can discuss this union to one's mutual benefit.

Just to get back on topic

Here you go Doc, had a little play with the curves/levels, all simple stuff and really a must for digital cameras, some have settings that will do this sort of thing, VIVID etc.
I did remove the bit of sign sticking out of the back of the car, TIP when taking pictures look at what is in the viewfinder, 30 seconds to move car and get rid of sign
Hope you dont mind me playing with the pic, its meant to show what can be easily done and make your pics have a bit of wow.
