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

Ed and Mal - all superb and inspiring images.

Mal - that shot of Eilean Donan Castle with the mist and mountains behind - just epic. That's my old stomping ground, and I miss it. That definitely gets the 'it hurts that I didn't take it' response...

Something traditional from me. Coastline at 1770 Queensland.

Phase 645DF, 35mm, IQ180 GND filter.

Perhaps traditional, but given that it's your image, I might see it as an illustration of a sudden insight or Act of Creation a' la Arthur Koestler.

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

Thanks for that referral, I will look up the book, I get a regular shipment from Amazon to keep the balance of unread Vs read books in my library. I have added the title to my wish list.

I guess I see images as having two sources, one is based on something in the external world that gets noticed and the second are the images that come as a complete image rather than as an idea that gets translated into a visual representation.

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.
