Photos Photo of the Day

That's very interesting

There's something about foreign places that I find really compelling photographically. It's like I'm unable to see anything interesting around home, but I feel like I would really have fun in an unfamiliar place. There's a chap on Flickr posting amazing seaside long exposures from Oz, and while he and I have really different styles, I look at his pictures and see elements of the scenery that I would kill to be around. Can't wait to start traveling again.

No, I only call you Jeremy... like your mum does

EDIT: Photos...

I know that feeling.

You can always pretend to be a tourist at home. Dress inappropriately, shout at the locals and visit touristy areas with benefit of local knowledge and the ability to choose the right light.

 

These are reposts of mine, but i have finally got round to putting them on flickr

This for me is just gorgeous, deja-vu for Ansel Adams

 

this one taken with my trusty HTC ONE X this morning in our front garden photo is of 2 peacock Butterflies not to often see in these parts the past week or so weve had lots of them along with an as
yet unidentified species of butterfly which is all black with no other markings

 

Grabbed this one at lunchtime while having a quick stroll around the local park. Also my first attempt at PP.

Excellent comparison.

 

What's the deal with the area of softness on the left and right?

 

Thanks everyone, I'm blushing.

Let's just say I was learning few things on computer and I kind of screwed up... Do you think it ruins the shot Pookey? I noticed my mistake after I already uploaded to flickr/flattened the file.

What do you guys think?

Oh so today I went to "Kings Park Psychiatric Center" It has been closed since 1996 after a 111 year run. During the mid 50s it had over 9000 patients. From growing most of their own food, pumping water, growing cattle for food/milk to having their own mini power plant, police, fire mechanics it was a city on it's own. Now as demolition begins in 2012 this once 150+ building center might soon be just history. So I went there to check it out while I still had a chance.

No... it just confused me I like the shot.

 

Those last two are a little disconcerting, I like them but a little too close to horror movie for my nervous disposition.


I took this the other night from Arthurs seat, Edinburgh Castle all light up for the Tattoo.

And one of the old town, which is slightly ruined by camera shake but I like any way.

Nice steveo - shame it was cloudy!

 

Cheers, when I was setting up I could see a large cloud mass rolling along the horizon, I was just willing it to get dark before the rain hit, The heavens opened about 5 minutes after I got back to the car.

This one has less could and more sky I actually thing a little cloud helps it.

Anyone else excited to see what Pentax are bringing out at Photokina this year? No? Huh, just me then. I'm hoping they announce the 24mp APS-C K3 this year; it'd be a nice step up from the K-x.

 

Dude, your work gets better and better. These (particularly the last) are sensational.
