Wish I had my tripod this evening. Would have had many more shots. This is the clearest I could get anything while still maintaining all of the clouds.
A great picture of the Jet Stream, visible usually around dusk ...
Nice balancing act: shooting into the sun without flare getting in the way. The tyre's a nice touch, too. Any news about the rest of the car?
Going through some old transparency scans: Bridlington harbour...
Continuing the vancouver theme.
Nice shot! Clearly we were both out taking advantage of the great weather we had over the last week or so! Hopefully we don't have to wait now until the July POTD thread before we can contribute some more!
What a great shot......
I kinda wish the tire wasn't there it would make it more believable when I imagine a couple of hobbits jumping that creek.......
The Druid's Judgement Seat:
Formerly a Bronze Age portal tomb and described in 1799 as "three small cromlechs, surrounded by a circle of upright stones, about 135ft [41m] in circumference", The Druid's Judgement Seat is a Victorian folly built from the orthostats of the original monument. When the mound was opened around 1797, stone chambers containing skeletons and urns were found. When originally constructed, the site would have overlooked Dalkey Island to the north-east so that the summer solstice sun would have risen over the island. Today it faces a wall in a secluded grove in a modern housing estate in Killiney, County Dublin.

VERY nice shot! I love the seagull 'accent', really just adds to it. Very nice!!!
So, Everything is ugly and dead here, and I haven't had any people shoots lately, so I've been letting my camera gather dust
Here's a recent shot though, nonetheless:
Canon EOS 5D Mark II :: 40 mm :: f 11 :: 1/100 sec :: iso 50

You'll have to ask the hobbits (see below).
They are very clever about using the tire to hide their hobbit hole.
Yup, in the Sequoia foothills.
This is my second stranger shot from the same shoot as the photo from yesterday.
Lots of personality here. Terrific portrait.
On the vertical shot, there seemed to be too much sky (unless you're shooting for a magazine cover), and the composition looked 'forced'. There's probably just as much sky on the 'landscape' shot, but it looks much more natural in this format. You 'centred' the boat between the piers of the bridge; even though the boat is smaller in this version, the eye goes straight to it. And the gull is what you get if you wait a few minutes rather than shoot right away (unless you were just lucky
). After noting the boat and the gull, the eye can wander round the picture, picking up details. I like the 'loose cropping' and the sense of space (maybe crop the building out at far left??).. It would make a good calendar shot: something to keep on the wall for a month.
First off, sorry for the huge comment! I don't normaly get to visit here very often cause i'm always busy, so i always end up going through the pages i havent seen and picking out all the ones i love, haha
Nice, really well shot! Pretty model too
I went shooting with a 3 other friends in this location, and it was interesting to see that we all shot pretty much the same subjects, but our photos came out very different from one another.
Really like this... visually pleasing, lots of colour! though i see no depth of field?
Good god man, you took that on your iphone!? that looks bloody brilliant!I recently discovered Chase Jarvis and have spent the last few days reading through his blog. I downloaded his iphone app Best Camera and have a new found appreciation for my iphone's camera. Here's one of my first shots taken / edited with the app.
The water looks really nice, but the subject is out of focus/motion blurred. Faster shutter speeds next time perhaps? Good photo nonethelessHuntington Beach, CA
there's a few more surfing shots in my signature link.
Absolutely stunning.
Thank you for your kind comment. It's great to know I'm not alone in the subjects I like to look at.
