Hiya Philbyuk,
I was just having a poke round up here, I'm normally on Macro, I certainly can't make any Tech comments as I don't have the understanding, It's a lovely sunset shot but I think its spoiled by that "thing"?? sticking up right in front of the setting sun, I love the colour of the sky.
Cheers for now
Mark

thanks for looking mark that thing sticking up is a radar tower.lol i didnt know wether to ps it out or leave it in ,i was hoping it might of added to the pic but looking at it now its to small to be effective

Great colour? Where were you in Kernow?

hi ballioman well i'm presuming Kerno=cornwall.lol
this was taken from the campsite (treloy) i was stopping at nr newquay

Hi,

Thanks for posting this. Lovely shot. I really should try to get out a bit more with my camera as this was shot only a few miles from my home. I thought you had to be at Treloy or at Trevelgue to get that shot as the radar tower is on St Mawgan airfield (aka Newquay Airport for civillian travelleres) and may not be there for that much longer as the RAF are pulling out. Why they wan't to give up one of the longest runways in Europe, I can't understand. However, it may open the options for new routes for the civillian airport.

My vote for the tower is to leave it in as it gives it a sense of place, as soon as I saw it, I knew where it was. Without that, it could be anywhere in the world.

Btw, 'Kernow' is is the cornish name for Cornwall. It is a celtic county and had it's own (celtic) language for many years - several signs use both English and Kernewek (Cornish) but it is not as common as in Wales.

thanks for you comments mark glad you like the pic.....yep shame about the closing .quite a sight watching them train in the helicopters every day..the absailing out on the ropes was good to watch (ok we dont get to see that sort of thing up here in manchester).

Love the dramtic sky, good color you've captured
