This is Greenan Castle on the west coast of Scotland. While the tide was out I tried to use some of the revealed seaweed as foreground interest. I love these little castles perched on cliffs.
An abstract image from the annual International Fireworks Competition that takes place in Gatineau, Quebec. After the first few go off the air starts to fill with smoke, so wide angle shots don't look as nice. It's at that point that I use my telephoto lens to do some close up shots. I've started playing with zooming and/or moving the camera to get some creative effects.
