    Woke up yesterday morning, sun shining and though right lets do some exploring.

    Since I live on the door step of possibly the best scenery in the world (I think anyway) what better way to spend the day, first up was Dukes pass












    To be honest it was like spearing fish in a barrel when it came to nice picture opportunities and the weather was just perfect.


























    1....2...3....awe













    An amazing day out and an amazing part of the country, thanks for looking folks.

    Stunning shots Greig. Especially like the two-headed duck. Must be due to all the nuclear fall-out you get up there.

    Some of those shots would really benefit from some HDR tweaking.

    Cheers Andy HDR tweaking, please enlighten me.

    The duck was a cracker, and like you straight away thought "a 2 headed duck, cool"

    What HDR program are you using? I've got the demo of Dynamic Photo HDR, and had a wee play with a couple of your pics

    Wanna see?

    I know some of the spots, I take it you went over the Pass then was it on to Crieff??? One of the times passing the Hotel in the pictures was all done up for a wedding and looked even more fairytale.

    Great pic's, have you ever done killin and the queens view, take the wee one on a summers day they sell ice cream next to the car park.
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!
