Taken at the old barn at Roachend. The sun was just starting to drop below the horizon so I placed it behind the building as it was still very bright. I know its a bit bright but liked the affect.

Its a 3 exp HDR (-2 / 0 / +2) blended in Photomatix.

Thanks for looking.

4x4 Page 11 (109 Photos)

Spent a few hours in the local quarry today, where on the last Sunday of each month they hold a 4x4 fun day.
I have not been for about 12 months and it was the first trip for the new camera but I only managed two hours there before the rain started and I called it a day, still managed to take a few hundred photos and upload 109 though...

I decided to change the Web banner, the old one dated from 2005 and both the GPS and the camera have been replaced....
(more than once for the camera). I have not gone too different and hope it still fits in with the rest of the site.

Monkey Forest

Spent the Day at Monkey Forest. The 140 Barbary Macaques monkeys roam freely in a 60-acre forest. As you enter the park you will observe the monkeys living in their fascinating society, as they would in the wild. No cages or bars, your right in there with them.

I used the new Sony Alpha 200 with a Sigma 600mm F8 lens and a 70-300mm Sigma zoom.
