Out for hours on a perfect day out with my new dslr it took ages to get far as I kept stopping to try things like this…. bliss!
Taken outside Peebles in the lovely scottish borders on a bright frozen frosty day – not a snowflake in sight.. its all frost left over from 24 hours of damp freezing fog…

How simply gorgeous Ding!
fantastic capture Maggie! excellent composition and stunning perspective!
The cool blue of the sky is enough to make you feel chilly, let alone the frostiness of everything. Nice depth and I love the soft focus of the background and the bright crispness of the wall and fence. The capture of the ice on the barbed wire is superb.
wow thanks so much for your brilliantly encouraging comments stewart and everyone!! the conditions were superb – probably the best day of the year – so what a great chance to try out the new camera!! am thrilled you like this one
cheers
