Sgurr na Coinnich from Glaick

I thought these clouds made a pretty impressive view this afternoon when I was out walking the dogs.  This was taken using my Canon EOS 5D with a 20mm lens at f/22 at 1/125s at ISO 400.

Olive Wood

Today I also did a bit of messing around with a still life of our olive wood cheeseboard which as you can see has a lovely wavy grain effect.  I used focus stacking to get it all in focus and then cropped it to concentrate on the central area with the nicest grain.  I felt it looked better in black and white as well.  This was taken on a tripod in natural light using the Canon EOS 5D 35mm lens at f/8 at 1/3s at ISO 100.
