A field of oilseed rape near Telgruc-sur-mer in Brittany captured just after sunrise. The sparkling bokeh was the combined result of zooming in at 300 mm in the direction of the sun and dew on the flowers. Thanks for viewing.

On a recent trip to Brittany we took a hike around the summit of Menez Hom, one of the highest points in the region. As it was raining, visibility was not that great but I could see the photographic potential. I revisited the summit early the next morning and, while the sunrise was not that spectacular, the mist was incredible. Here, I cut across the Aulne Valley at 300 mm and subsequently enhanced the contrast in GIMP; it looks mono but I made no colour adjustments. Thanks for looking.

This rusty old boat was captured at sunset looking across the Baie de Morlaix. I had posted a similar image a few months back when I first joined Flickr but was not completely happy with the amount of noise (arising from a landscape crop of a portrait image). I have since been able to almost completely eliminate such noise with JACS pro9 noise reduction and Gaussian blur in GIMP 2. Thanks for looking.

Well, it’s been the wettest June on record and it looks as though July is heading the same way. Not good for photography, but ideal for processing a huge backlog of photos taken earlier in the year. This image was captured from the summit of Menez Hom in Finistere back in April. I was happy with the crop but the bright mist in the distance where the sun was rising was a bit distracting. I’ve tinkered with the contrast and it now looks good on my monitor. Hope it does on yours! Thanks for looking.

Sunrise on a misty morning, captured from the summit of Menez Hom, Brittany. Some detail was lost in the foreground and so I decided to up the contrast and blacks of this region to give it a silhouette appearance. Thanks for viewing.
