I was out today doing some shopping for the evil day and regretted not taking my camera with me as Edinburgh city centre was looking good. Seeing these shots has made my mind up will make sure i have camera with me tomorrow as they are great captures

Those are fantastic photographs, particularly the Angel (my favourite) and the web (stunning!)

Aww thanks everyone. At one point I was in the meadow and every time i took one step forward, I took about 5 shots because the scenery just changed drastically and looked even more stunning.

That 2nd picture is inspirational. You feel as if you're being pulled into the scene.

Can I ask what lens/settings you used for that?

been looking through these again - the colours are just beautiful. Saturation is perfect.

What lovely things you are all saying! thanks

Abooie, I have a 'bridge' camera, a Canon SX10, so no special lens, and I must admit I used the preset 'landscape' setting for that shot, and twiddled a tiny bit in PS afterwards with the levels, hue and saturation. Oh I've managed to make a polariser fit so I used that for most of the shots - just helps get the sky looking nice

They look a bit washed out on the monitor I'm using at the mo but hopefully that's just this college monitor as they looked ok at home!
