Out and About

Hi @JaneDoe1, how's the writing course progressing?

@Drac0 would love to see some pics sometime if you're willing to share. 

Hope everyone is well!

Hi @CherryBomb

Actually went out early this morning to catch the sunrise on the beaches. Great way to get some exercise, do something I'm enjoying & relax a bit. The ocean has always had a calming effect on me. I remember when I was living in the city & used to come down here to visit my mother. There is one point the train comes around a bend & you get the first real view of the ocean. I would feel the stress just melting away, thinking 'free again'. Was good feeling.

Anyhow, tried my first ever 3 photo panorama shot this morning & I am very, very pleased with the result so I'll start by sharing that one & another I really liked.

3 shot panorama:

 I think of this one as A Natural Window To The Morning:

And a bonus, Morning Meets The Earth:

Hope these are ok to post!

Cheers

Wow @Drac0 thanks for sharing! They are Beeeeautiful. I have the same thing on the train when I leave the and return to the mountains after work. Such relief to turn around a bend to see bright orange cliff faces. 

Wouldn't it be great if we could share pics of our adventures while we're out and about? Perhaps I'll add some pics if I take some throughout the week.

Would love to see some pics @CherryBomb

I look at photos on the web & wish I could do half as good. Just saw a pic of where I was this morning & it's a case of OMG! Makes mine look quite sad. I'll be happy if I ever get near this good. New camera is first thing on the list.

Cheers

Woooooaaah, that's mind-boggingly (is that a word?)  beautiful @Drac0! That's looks like magic or some type of wizardry. Something to aspire to.

Will post some of my own soon when I get on the computer where my photos are stored.

Sadly @CherryBomb, pics like these are edited in Photoshop to make them look better than the real thing. The do look fantastic, but far from natural. While camera settings, lighting, filters & such can make a difference and I'm happy to see those used I think that using an application to 'improve' them somehow takes away some of the charm for me.

Can't wait to see some of yours!

Great shots!'' as long as they feel good to you that is all that matters

I have had issues logging on and am now janedoe2. My course is not as easy as i thought. I get distracted and find it hard to concentrate. Still going to attend and hopefully get some clarity this week.

[Drac0]

Hi @janedoe2, now I'm waiting to see number 3.

I hope you manage to stick it out. Even if it does seem difficult you should still be able to take something out of it.

Good luck & take care.

My creative writing course was great today. I was focused and understood the lesson of today. I was hoping to only do creative fictitious writing. I'm realising that i may need to write about my life journey first to clear mind space. Was hoping to just use imagination but i get blocked internally and think about my life. Hope it works to give me access to my creative imagination.
