Long Meg and her Daughters is a circle of 59 standing stones in Cumbria. 'Long Meg' is sandstone (unlike the other stones) and is by far the tallest.

I've finally taken the plunge: replacing my old D200 with a D610, plus Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8 and Sigma 70-210mm f2.8. First impressions: I'm loving the extra detail and quality, but there's a big difference in weight...

Very nice shot (I love the light) and congrats on the new gear Doylem. Don't worry about the weight...you'll get used to it and it's worth every gram.

at first, I thought the whale type was called fluke, which was weird, then I read AFB's comment.

Actually, you're somewhat correct...the tail is known as a fluke. Could be that whale tail just sounded too silly.

London again today.

Very nice shot MacRy. The back of the his head lighting is unusual and is interesting. His face in shadow gives him a solemn look.

for the past few months, I have caught myself checking out used Fujis (after seeing the excellent images your produce). Of course, it's far from being just the cam, but I am jonesing for a test

very nice pic man!

They are definitely worth checking out. They produce lovely images but for me it's more about the ergonomics - so small and light and old school. You can pick up an XE1 body pretty cheaply at the moment and I use a lot of old legacy glass, which is dirt cheap.

Thanks Peter. The lighting is from very bright lights in the alcove he is sitting in front of. It casts a really poignant kind of glow over anyone sitting in front.
 
I like the composition, and the gradation of the background. However I'm a bit confused by what's going on on the left side of the moon..

To be totally honest, I have no idea. More or less came out that way out of camera. The gradation of the background was caused by this photo being taken at a baseball stadium during an evening game (two days before the peak of the super moon).

And for today:

 
This lady was looking very stressed out as she and her fellow travellers were on the wrong platform and she was trying to get their attention to tell them. Don't know why she didn't just walk down the platform to get them rather than stand waiting to attract their attention for five minutes from afar.

Nice picture. This dude looks like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders.

I agree, he looks like he just got some bad news, this could be a poster for the Samaritans.

Once again MacRY, some great captures of life in the big smoke, well done.

I wasn't aware that church bell ringers have sheet music...

OK, slow morning in Kenoh towers. I got three pans out the drawer and a spoon, then tried to follow some of these - I know I live the rockstar life right?!?

This is quite difficult to do!
 
My father's watch he brought back from Singapore at the end of the war.

It still keeps perfect time, but the case is quite worn and the glass is scratched as he used it every day from 1945 on.

I have phases of wearing it myself.

Cheers :)

Why does a certain scene from Pulp Fiction leap to mind as I read this? ;)
 
I know, you're a building guy :D, and a real good one at it evidently

my original description wasn't accurate enough; you put in the right context.

I wouldn't go that far, needfx. I'm just at the start of my photographic journey, really I'm just a quixotic neophyte.

The guys/dancers look like a real bunch of characters, with huge personalities, to me! :cool:
