Floodplain and Reflections were taken from a bridge. Triangle was from a
road looking across a gully.

Bonzer fits well, thanks Piers!

I'm guilty of choosing a domain name that didn't allow for 'expansion'. I
thought dev-stop-fix was a good choice for a b&w gallery site but now I'm
getting into digital (and color) it doesn't fit anymore. Time to think of
a new domain name I think...

Yep, tripod mounted (on my trusty Manfrotto). Image stabilization is for
P&S users and lazy DSLR users - says he who's camera doesn't do it. ;-)
The 'Reflections' .jpg was saved at the 80% quality setting (as were the
other photos) so it's not overly compressed. What looks like .jpg
artefacts are actually ripples and insects in the water. You're right
about the tonal transitions, the water looks nice doesn't it?

Two months ago the hills in the picture were a bright green, then the
summer heat struck and within a couple of weeks everything turned to straw
(in the literal sense and the color sense). The green patches on the
floodplain are there because the dam level is dropping, a few weeks ago
these trees were half submerged, you can see the waterline on the trunks
where they change from brown to white.
Thanks to everyone who commented on my photos. Foe those wondering what
we're talking about the gallery is at http://dev-stop-fix.com/g_dig_lscape.php
