Wonderful dof and beauty from the foreground rocks to the sky, Maggie. Love this, and of course admire the high horizon. (Oh dear, have I misspelled my tripod all this time?)
Great work!

dinghysailor1 replied
hi lois so glad you approve… they are are real can of worms i can tell you…a day spent in the shot with them biting and snapping at me.. but hopefully ive one that can take pics standing on its head…LOL and lying flat. and peeking round corners .. but thats only the half of it…. the mounting is the thing and in the end payedextra for one that didnt look like a cars towbar attachment…LOL… praying it will come in handy for macros and f28 landscapes and slomo waterfalls ete etc etc….here’s hoping!!. am off to the land time (and theinternet) forgot for a bit…so speak in a few days
cheers :)).
dinghysailor1
sorry meant a day spent in the shoP!
Jan Timmons
I wondered how it felt spending time in the shot. I predict you’ll grow to respect your man tripod and even sometimes let it stay overnight. I do now. Were very close, this tripod and I. Love the part about a car’s towing attachment. I wasn’t offered that option. Oh fine. Now you’ve gotten me all silly and chortling to myself.

Beautiful shot, excellent perspective and composition. TFS
