It looks like a wonderful place to be. Your lucky.
Thank you for sharing

We've been back every year since, it's well worth the journey from Bristol.

A couple of photos from my holiday in 2006 on the Greek island of Kefalonia in the Ionian Sea.

Looking out over the Strait of Ithaca from the western shores of the island of the same name towards Kefalonia:

One of the harbours in the town of Sami, where we were staying:

Why thank you sir.
There's no reason why anyone cant take pleasing photographs, just follow a few basic composition rules and it will transform what would be a quick grab snap. You have in your post above, Pacific Coast Highway, the bridge place smack bang on the 3rds makes for a classic composition and you haven't cut of the headland. Escalante - Utah, having the car on the road adds a real sense of scale without it its just another road.

Proper job pplpilot, love the stitch-togethers.
Good advice as well for the point and clickers.
Sometimes you don't have time to align the thirds, then a bit of post-production cropping can be used instead.

I'm lightly dabbling in HDR imagery ... using the method where the camera takes three bracketed images of the same thing.
Then the images are merged using photoscape:
(Fuji XS-1).

No more HDR in this post.

Stepping down to the lower spec. camera i carry on the bike (HS30).
Its hard focusing on a silkworm moving in the wind on a 30 foot thread!

Back to the Fuji XS-1:

And now one from my totally awesome Fuji F70 fag-packet sized camera (well it was 2 years ago):

The best camera in the world is the one you have with you........

I don't know about the second photo, it all looks a bit Sami to me.

This is a lovely picture, but I've corrected the verticals in photoshop, I hope you don't mind - if you have photoshop I'll happily show you how to do it.

Thanks Doseone. I use Corel, assuming you mean what Corel calls "straighten" then yes, I use it as and when. I deliberately left this shot as it was though! [See my other Arley Hall photo, which was "straightened"...]​

It's ok, no different than if Andrew Motion changed the last line of one of my poems

No, more like I just painted a moustache on the Mona Lisa

Maybe I should take revenge by correcting the vertical on your avatar.
