The Seventh Wave by Wayne Holman

Taken in Cornwall UK. This is the small surfing town of Portreath around 20 miles or so from Lands End. Surfing in Cornwall is a way of life and most surfys here were congregated around this pier which was taking a pummelling from the Atlantic waves with the thundering sound of the impact reverberating across the beach.

View from Haytor, Dartmoor, Devon by Squealia

These smaller rocks are adjacent to the main tor at Haytor. For those who don’t know the Devon and Cornwall moors are famous for their tors. A tor is a rock outcrop formed by weathering, usually found on or near the summit of a hill. In the South West of England, where the term originated, it is also a word used for the hills themselves – particularly the high points of Dartmoor in Devon and Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. Tors are composed usually of granite or metamorphic rocks. Tors can also be found around any previously erupted volcanoes (although Devonian and Carboniferous outcrops are also found), though occasionally of other hard rocks such as quartzite, and are the result of millions of years of weathering. In prehistoric times, when the land was covered in forest, rain water seeped into the ground and gradually weathered the bedrock through its natural cracks, or joints. Once the land became exposed, the weathering was accelerated, particularly during the Ice age when freezing water expanded in the cracks. The result can be seen today in dramatic rock formations.

Lest we forget by Lynne Hyland

A sea of red poppies displayed in a lightshow on to the Royal Naval War Memorial in support of the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal on Plymouth Hoe. “The people of Plymouth are well aware of the sacrifices of our armed forces in recent times in Iraq and now in Afghanistan. The illumination of Plymouth Hoe, therefore, could not be more apposite in the run-up to Remembrance Sunday on 8 November. It will serve as a very moving reminder to the people of Plymouth of the need to safeguard the memory of the fallen, and the ongoing needs of former members of the Armed Forces.” (Plymouth, Devon, SW England)

Southcoombe, Nr Crediton, Devon by Squealia

Well this is another shot I tried the new Canon EOS 500d out on! Ok I have taken this gate before, but this time it was a 3 shot AEB, then hand blended in PSP as the image looked rubbish when hdr’d with the 3 shots! I must be doing something wrong with the software I guess! The main issue was that dispite being three rapid fired captures (tripod used), the smaller branches were moving and looked grim in the HDR images I tried in Photmatix and whatever the other I use is! Plus I couldn’t get the colour or anything else right! Hence the handblending for the past 90 minutes!
Where's the pot of gold? by Squealia

I had to have a play today and took this with my new Canon EOS 500d with the 3 shot AEB. There have been so many rainbows today, multiple short showers and sun! The only issue is Canon RAW is not recognised by my Adobe PSP, Photomatix, or another hdr software i have! Any ideas why not? I had to use the 3 JPG’s with this as I shoot in both Raw and Jpg. Taken near Copplestone,Devon Oh and I don’t have any filters that fit this camera, so it doesn’t have the benefit of a CPL or UV filter!
