Crush'd Curiosity
Biography
A UK-based ex-scientist, now writer and amateur photographer with a passion for the art of photography. Having left research into diseases, which make it hard to breath, behind me I'm re-inflating my curiosity for life through photography. This channel hosts a collection of photos and writings from my experiences around the world and back home. I'm Crush'd Curiosity and thanks for stopping by!

Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoMany thanks - this was taken in the flower garden of Cawdor castle, the once home of the famous Macbeth

Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoVery true, I know feel a bit bad that I was interrupting the fly while having lunch ;).....I wouldn't like that

Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoThanks for the share, viewing and comment Leigh. It was taken in the flower garden of Cawdor castle, the once home of the famous Macbeth -

-
Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoThanks Vision, my favourite aspect of this photo also - nice that the fly seemed distracted by the flower for quite some time -
-
Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoThanks Denise, the flower bed behind was fortunately a good distance away to allow the isolation. Thanks for commenting and looking
-

-
Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoYeah, was really pleased with the bokeh turning to painterly background :) -

Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoThanks Joe, took quite a few to get this just right as I had no tripod with me to help out
-
-
-
Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoThanks Marius, the walkway did eventually entice me to walk along, although not before I'd pissed my friend off by taking photos and not crossing for ages ;)

Michael Flick Photography1 year agoLooks like the place where the lion sleeps tonight :) nice composition! -

Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoThanks Mike, it was a particularly spectacular day to the east of Inverness

Who took a bite out of me?

wokabu1 year agoOr maybe somebody loved you enough to bite (into) you! Such a thing should have happened, you know.... ;-) -
Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoThat's sweet Wolf, but that kind of love seems quite destructive and if carried on for long enough results in the end of the mushroom
-
-
Joe Lightheart1 year agoBeautifully focused and the gills are seen so clearly! I think the gnomes are having a laugh since you found their " hidden treasure". -
-
-
Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoyou bet, they were 'off' as soon as I showed up. Thanks for the comment, accidentally leaned into some form of excrement to get the shot, although that was mainly as it was hiding in the long grass -

landscapes, Nature and More by John Ernst1 year agoThanks, sunset was disappointing that night but glad I came away with this shot.

Philip_Tranter_Photography1 year agoFab photo. As well as the overall composition I particularly like the way you managed to capture the sun starburst between the petals. -

Marius Radu1 year agoNice and peaceful :-) Maybe you try different crops too. Horizon level in the middle of the frame is not desirable usually. Just give it a try :-) -
Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoThanks Marius, I completely agree that the composition is unusual in both the position of the boat and the horizon line but liked the image inspite of that and didn't really play around with it much. That said, I have just tried cropping out quite a bit of the sky to apply the rule of two thirds and it does look good - maybe I will put my alternative take up soon....

-
Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoIt is, glad you enjoyed it. Believe it or not it was taken Scotland on a scorching hot days -

Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoThanks a lot, it was taken on a very hot day in Scotland believe it or not!

Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoYou're welcome - I fin these crannogs fascinating. Well anything from prehistory really. We know so little, which intrigues me :)
-
-
-
-
-
Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoIt was, something that stands out in my memory even a year on (shows how slow I am with processing my photo backlog that I'm talking about a photo from a year ago ;) )
-
-
-
Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoMany thanks - these huts are fascinating and in this case, they built it mimicking the the techniques that would have likely been used to build this thousands of years ago
-
-
Michael Flick Photography1 year agoWe have similar buildings at Lake Constance. Interesting historic architecture. -
Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoThat's interesting - I will take a look when I'm next in the area. I wonder if they used similar techniques to build it i.e. they tried to build it the same way they would have thousands of years ago -
Michael Flick Photography1 year agoI have some pix in my Travel Germany Album. Look for Unteruhldingen :).
-
-
-
Joe Lightheart1 year agoNice view. I think I'll have to visit. We are already experiencing higher than normal water levels. Many more will have beach front property -
Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoI would highly recommend it. A very educational and enjoyable experience. It's amazing that they built the whole crannog mimicking the likely techniques that would have been used 4000 years ago. Proceeds support the research done onsite if you needed another reason to go :)

Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoThanks, was a bit tricky at times to get the detail as the robin was so excitable it just kept moving around.
-
-
-
Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoThanks Carol, I got quite a few good ones of this little poser but this and the one I uploaded about a month ago were the best
-
-
Joe Lightheart1 year agoVery beautiful colours and I guess it's textures of the birds feathers? Very nice! -
Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoYes I think the young robin's feather tetures do enhance the picture quite a bit - a mix of fluff and feather as it's still in its teenage years

Hot air and warm currents

-
Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoI think that's what attracted me to the shot, then the hang glider photo bomber turned up and with it, the shot into a real photo
-
-
-
Crush'd Curiosity1 year ago:) me too - must have seen me lining a shot up and thought, I need to bomb that ;)
-
-
-
Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoThanks Leigh, I would have liked it a bit closer but I didn't have a long distance lens with me so this is as good as I could get :)

Crush'd Curiosity1 year agoThanks Carol! This young robin was a proper poser so I took quite a few but this was definitely my favorite - few other good ones too, which I stick up at some point
