Fun in the Sun

Just back from a week in Lanzarote and managed to miss all the bad weather in the UK! A great place for landscapes if you can get up early enough before the light gets too harsh. This is not something I am often motivated to do so I aim full of admiration for those who do get up in the dark and set up equipment in the freezing cold to wait for a spectacular dawn that turns out to be cloudy.

I managed to get some landscape shots but they were not very exciting, so I played around with  Photomatrix which can fuse bracketed exposures and add some interesting effects.
