I try, Arthur Koestler is one of my guiding lights but I also include, Iain McGilchrist, G Gurdjieff and the sufi writer Idries Shah amongst my influences and not a photographer amongst them.

I realise that this is not photography, but I am attempting to stay open to the images that rise up from my non verbal right hemisphere as a way of honouring the creative process. My photography and drawing are morphing together and I now see myself as an image maker rather than a photographer.
Also thank you to Mr Cooley and Mr Hurst for your positive response to my images.
Regards
Mal
You could use the Opera House as a color checker :ROTFL:.Sydney's annual Vivid festival is on now; it includes lighting installations across the city centre. I have not had much time to visit this year, but here are a couple I took on my way home yesterday...

This image exemplifies your works; simple subject in beautiful lights and naturally easy on the eyes to admire.
What Son said. The Eilean Donan image is a different take on this that I like a lot more than the cliche shot (great as it is btw Mal!).Triumphant!
Best Regards,

Love this Don!Late last year I tested, fell in lust with and bought a Schneider LS 240mm f/4.5 lens I also picked up the 2x converter.
We returned to Jackson Hole WY in March spending a couple weeks shooting in the late winter and testing/getting more comfortable with the new lens. We've now been in Tucson going on 10-weeks and frankly I'm bored. The upside is that we'll be returning to Jackson soon and will continue to photograph a buffalo herd I've adopted and hopefully shoot landscape and wildflowers.
This is one of the test image I took in March. Standing on the Jackson Lake Dam early in the morning with steam/flog being generated from the water. Windy and cold as only this area can get. I took this handheld with the Phase DF/IQ160 digital back and the 240. F/11 1/320 ISO 50 and yes it's in color.

Ed here is my view of that same castle in Scotland - I like yours better it is a stronger image - however we ideally should never be too old to learn from others.
Cheers

Graham - My memory of the details of the landscape is not as fresh as I would like, but are you sure it's Buachaille Etive Mor? I had the impression it might be Stac Polly... Perhaps the photographer can confirm...What Son said. The Eilean Donan image is a different take on this that I like a lot more than the cliche shot (great as it is btw Mal!).
Buachaille Etive Mor - tough to shoot something new there without impressive weather I think. Still a nice image.
