Colin(elkiebrooks) and I made a 4 hour round trip to North Devon yesterday to meet up with Ian Munro, Phil Morgan, ge22y, Outlander and Poochie. While we were there we also bumped into Paul_Forgham and JohnFanning which was an added bonus! (great to meet you all chaps Smile)

This is the first one from the evening that I finished processing at 12.40 this morning – got to get in there quick, as the site’s going to be full of shots from here over the next few days! Wink

This sets a high standard for the rest of us to follow Paul. So much for getting home to the wife and relaxing. Me..I had a pie and a pint, watched MOTD a bit and then went to bed. Thanks for the lift and the great evening out.

Yes, that's right - too high and you can't get to the rocks, even if you could they'll be under water, and too low you wont get the water movement through the "fingers"

Cheers Cole - I just like to work an image until it looks either like it did with the eye on the night (as you know RAW files are always flat and lifeless), or boost them a bit to push the drama and mood.

You've set the bar high with this one Paul, startling end result, from RAW to AWE! Great to bump into you and the gang down there, I thought about you all making the long journey home as I strolled the leisurely 20 yds to our digs Tongue
