From our Dungeons and Dragons session yesterday! I play a drunk & surly dwarf, on the right of the mat with the mace above his head.

The pond recedes from the left to the right . The trees on the far left are , at most 30m from where I was standing , however , those on the right were easily 5X that distance . There's some sort of parallax/perspective thing playing games with your heads . I used the back tree line as a rough horizon , and one of the trees in the approximate center as a rough vertical . There used to be a Great Blue Heron nest on the dead tree on the right . Was there for several years . The Lab had a 'Heron Cam" up there to watch them . But they left a few years back . Suspect the tree will go over one of these days , as will those on the left , whose roots are slowly getting drowned in the bog created by the pond .
Yeah, I see that now. Photoshop can change that with "perspective warp" if you're into that and felt the need but you have to be prepared for it when you take the shot. You would have to leave lots of crop space around all sides so as not to sacrifice your composition.

We had our local council area Christmas pageant on Sunday and I was asked to photograph a local community groups effort. Whilst doing this I also got the opportunity to capture some of the other floats as I raced ahead of them. This one was the highlight for me, it's the local youth arts programs entry, and I guess they went with torrenting piracy pirates as their theme.

I think you are mistaken sir. That most definitely is not fish and chips.
Yes, I concur, what are those small bricks doing served with French fries? o_O

You Yanks are a strange bunch! ;)

Something in the original post seems to have been lost in the ozone . They're fish* and chips... not fish and chips.

Thanks Alex. It was only in my front garden, but when the light is right, that helps a lot!
My bag is all packed for tomorrow as I'm on a rare day's out for Photography!
Enjoy your day tomorrow, and I look forward to seeing the end results! Are you like me and you have a huge backpack containing almost every lens known to have exist in there, just in case you need it or feel inspired to use it? Oh, and a heavy tripod... :rolleyes:
