Cheers.... it was a bit of a rush. I hadn't realised how close the sun was to setting, to busy knocking back the beers in the hut and nearly missed it!

Without the foreground this would be a very average photo. Lovely!
Thanks Sean.... You hit the nail on the head. Taking a photograph is a lot more than pressing a button, thinking about how the foreground leads the eye to the middle ground and eventually the main focal point is vey important. A good photo should be the sum of all parts. In this case without the background it would be a pile of rocks :-)

Just visited your website Duncan, and I am very impressed by some of your images, especially the urban night shot of a bridge? Interesting that we both have an art background.
Cheers Sean, that one is the Millenium Bridge over the river Tyne. just rebuilding the site, went live yesterday! How did you find it? Kiser to work as a commercial illustrator in London, I realised quickly it wasn't how I imagined it to be loads of people working on one project, it never felt like your own work... Oil painting, now that's something else :-) I wish I had more free time!
