Cornish Autumn

Whilst out today looking for a picture for the salon competition i came across these two chances, although ok straight from the camera i think a couple of tweaks to enhance the autumn colours were needed.
With my nickname being "Onest Mike" i decided to post here




Hope you enjoy the Cornish Autumn as much as I do when doing my work

Mike

Re: Cornish Autumn

There is something wrong with the first one. You say it's in Cornwall... Well, have you photoshopped all the millions of cars and caravans out?!?!?!?

Emmits? I thought that was a Dorset saying (or am I confusing that with an emmet-hump?) And don't you get them there grockles down for half term?

By the way, I'll join the praise for the first picture, lovely colours!

You can always tell a tourist driving, they cant work out how to drive without a streetlights and pavements on either side, so they drive down the middle very slowly

I thought an emmet (as in emmet-ump) was an ant - and I used to live with someone from Devon, so I did pick up a little of the lingo

And tourists are just as bad here - I might live in the East Midlands but my village is 10 miles from the nearest town (and that's only Daventry). My Devon 'friend' was surprised how narrow the lanes were - and by how few street lights there are.

Re: Cornish Autumn

I keep returning to have a look at the first image and hoping I can get out and capture something similar - the colours are out there, but the sun is either too bright or it has got its hat on.

Same here. Either tipping it down, blowing a gale or 'low-slung sun' reflecting back at you from the road as well as shining straight in yer eyes from above. Not to mention the shunts and foreign sat-nav juggers blocking the lanes.

Mike - that first photo is a beauty.
Such a typical Autumn scene. Lovely capture.

Re: Cornish Autumn

Love these, they are almost a watermark of Cornwall. #1 is my favourite. We love to holiday in Cornwall (Mevagissey) being our favourite villiage. The first image reminds me of the 'fun' of driving on Cornish Roads towing a touring caravan.
Both images portray the rich colours of autumn.
Thanks for sharing.
