I recently went on a trip home to Elgin in Scotland and saw this group of trees which begged to be photographed. I uploaded a similar shot which was processed in Photoshop alone. This is the HDR version processed in Photomatix Pro using 3 exposures. I think it gives a great feeling of springtime.

This is a Panoramic view of the Cairngorms from a road a few miles away. A beautiful place to be when the weather is right but it can be quite nasty when the weather turns bad.
This shot is stitched from about 5 different photos to produce a nice wide panorama.

I finally managed to photograph one of the famous local birds, a magpie. These guys have such a nice motion in flight but unfortunately that couldnt be captured in a still. I reduced the saturation of all colour channels to 0 apart from blue to really emphasise how colourful these birds are - they are not just black and white. There is no saturation boost for the blue either!
