Photo of the Day October 2016

[Cheese&Apple]

OK, Peter, this series of bear photos need to either be on a calendar or in a coffee table book or both. Outstanding series of photos.

Thank you Florian. I'm thinking of a photo book with a short narrative for my Dad who's very much stuck in an old folks home and would give anything to be able to join me on my travels.

Absolutely beautiful shot and processing Shaun. Love the clean look of the black background.

Helped a mate move his mattress into his house. The stairs were too narrow so had to use this lift machine and get it over the balcony. Lots of fun.

Love the hint of colour from the eye - great, expressive shot.

Another cracking bear study. Really suits the mono treatment with the sense of open wilderness.

Love the autumn colours. Three weeks ago this wouldn't have been half the shot it is.

I think that one got lost in translation.

The Chicago Cubs won the National League championship last night by beating the LA Dodgers... this is the Cubs' first trip to the World Series since 1945, breaking the "Curse of the Billy Goat" put on the team after a local bar owner was asked to leave a World Series game that year because the smell of his pet goat was offensive to those sitting around him.

Ironically, the tavern owner Billy Sianis died on October 22 (back in 1970), and the Cubs win that got them back to the World Series also happened on October 22.

Z-link suspension. Deadly in the wet... All the weight at the back. The GT2 has that moniker now.

I love a nice example of an air cooled 911...


Honestly not obsessed with Porsches BTW.... well not much anyway
