I shot this the other night, its a good time of the year for Sunsets in Edinburgh.

It was shot on my Nikon f50, my first venture into digital photography, and must say I found it great.

A little jiggery pokery was used , ie filters to enhance the reds, then worked on it in ps.

Sorry about the size I meant to make it smaller, it takes a while to load.

ps

My clock investigations seemed to have hit a block , no one know anything about it.

The lady who said she would get back to me never did, the library havent got anything on it, I have tried loads of book shops all to no avail.:-5

My next step is to visit a local clock maker , his family have run the business for ,emmmmmmmm well a very long time lol :wah: , if he doesn`t know then I dont know who will.

You misunderstood me Scotty, this is a beautiful country but what I meant to say was that I would love to be able to take such good photo's without cutting heads off or getting the angles all wrong. I don't seem to have any talent when it comes to photo's.

To be honest I haven`t been to Spain he said quietly, I`m a South of France man usually, but the real Spanish towns away from the touristy parts appeal to me, they look really nice , and I can imagine the food must be wonderful.
