Rather special sunrise, here on the manor this morning.
If circumstance were different, I 'd love to drive out and get some other foregrounds for them, but I will be good.
I'd love to get a picture with the sun rising directly behind St Buryan Church, (can be seen towards the bottom left in the image below.)

One of my lock-down "worthwhile time use" strategies is to learn new Photoshop techniques. Not cheating ones, just enhancement ones. Though there is a fine line...

As I cannot get out, due to a poorly pooch, to get new snaps to work with, I'm redoing some old shots with the new skills learned.

Fake views! Fake views!

Actually, good on yer.
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

I'm sure you've told us; but what kind of camera are you using? Do you have a number of lenses or do you stick with one?

I use an old and battered Canon 5D mkIII, with two lenses, 17-40 mm wide angle for landscapes, and a 70-300 mm for wildlife/sports.

Thinking of buying a Sony A7R III in the not too distant future.

I think I see Jesus Christ peeking through a hole in the clouds in the distance.

It looks more like Jesus wearing a sea turtle on his head.
