Some lovely shots on the forum, I envy the trips to some great places

I'm lucky this view is 10yards from my back door

Again too dark and too small. Try for a larger image and take care with the exposure, unless you intend for it to be dark.

I like it a lot. I'm curious, is this a repro of some daylight printing thing, or have you achieved this look digitally? I like the composition and I like the tonality. It reminds me of days spent in the hills, all broody and filled with threatening weather. I wish the picture was a bit bigger.

As for envying trips to great places, my feelings are mixed. Travelling is fun. My favourite photographs don't correspond to the pattern of favourite places though. I've been the the Grand Canyon, the American Desert South-West, bits of Australia and many points in-between and although I took photos on the way, I don't have anything that I still enjoy looking at from those trips. I have a nice shot from the top of a place called Hurricane Ridge and another of a street in Shanghai both of which are very location specific. I also have some photos that make me very happy that I took on a beach somewhere in California, and a lot of photos of Leith, where I now spend most daylight hours but these are all pictures that could come from anywhere. I've tried my hand at standing in the tripod holes of the greats, and it was fun at the time, but I'm not interested in doing it any more. Wherever I am right now, is the most photographically interesting place in the universe [as I type this, I have a rather fine view of the Scottish Executive outside my window - though it was better two hours ago when the sun was lower and the ground wetter].

The image of Stob bi'nian was shot on type 55 polaroid and scanned

It is just after dusk and meant to be moody rather than dark

I have to adjust my sending criteria as the original is quite luminous, also off-course
I need  to send the file a bit bigger too

I will get there

Sitting in the office must be hard for a snapper, Stob Bi'nian right now is white against a bright blue sky


I will try another image, this one, the same hill some nights later

Now that is quite nice. Not sure how you managed to darken the sky and retain the colours in the clouds and snow.
