I've got this weird feeling in my stomach. I dont know if I'm either hungry thought I don't think I feel like it (I only had a few slices of bread with butter at 6) or if it hurts

I received a bill today for my ambulance trip from one hospital to another, paid the bill online, and it just occurred to me it was likely covered by my extended coverage.

Well I get out occasionally...

Like last Monday evening, when I took Trusty Nikon out on a date...

Spoiler

That's Lough Colgagh, in Co Sligo.

Maybe you can get a refund

Oh wow! That's beautiful, Marty. I keep forgetting I want a new digital camera. I saw one online at Staples I liked... have to go check it out in store.

The saying is....

Beggars can't be choosers.

Why are you asking, clo?

Too much bother. It was only $45.00.

Thanks, Gary.

I was trying to use two different rules of composition when I took that shot. Leading lines, and the rule of thirds.

Not sure how well I managed to get either of them right.

Looks perfect to me. The detail on the close up rocks is amazing, and I like how green the left part of the far shoreline is. I like photos with depth... ones that takes your eye far away.   I'm sure that takes years of practice... my younger daughter is a wonderful photographer... she is especially great with wildlife.

Here it could 10-20 times that.

I think you've done alright. Remember the rules are fluid meant to offer guidance not hard and fast strictures. I would happily hang a print of this one my wall.

That can be a problem with landscape photography, as you normally need the background and foreground both in focus, which can lead to the image looking two-dimensional. That's where leading lines can help to give a feeling of depth. In this case the leading lines were meant to be the rocks, fence posts, and broken barbed wire, leading the viewer's eyes into the picture.

That's insane... it used to be free here... I forget how long ago it changed... but we are still very lucky in this country.

Like your photo with the Great Wall of China in it... that had incredible depth... I guess because the wall was the leading line.
