The Photography Thread

Here's a panorama shot I took of a few months ago - http://i.minus.com/i0c5ohXa5AT1A.JPG

Top of a 400-600 foot climb over 1 mile (can't remember the exact details) overlooking Paisley, Glasgow is just to the right out of shot

I think my picture is from the opposite side of yours: cycle path Glasgow to Paisley, top of the motorway, before Pollock Park?

Just as an aside, I've been going back through my photo archives and cannot believe how a simple crop has transformed some of them. Less really is more. Sometimes. Obviously not for cake.

Cake, my arse, jo. It's clearly a house brick.

This is a classic photo....as my friends helmet says Brenda on it

Presumably the opposite of N+1 I take it?

I admit it was my stupid idea to cycle through an onion field

What are the glasses for? That looks a bit like the Antarctic Peninsula on the one furthest away!

Something..... 'MORE'

the picture is empty otherwise you see).

Isn't that the point of it?

I'm not a visual person - terrible with that "attention to detail" thing everyone seems to require at work nowadays I'm more like a "word" person expression wise.
I like empty panoramic views, lots of sky, fields, lots of colour, wildlife at a push, people in a scenic picture spoil it for me.
My favourite so far is Rickshaw Phil's "green" one. Keep them going!

Ooooo, a photography thread. Me likes.
Yesterday, Evesham.

Nice!

I'm not a member of a camera club either, I'm not anything. The simple fact is that seeing is a language in its own right, but as kids, we are told to stop looking at the pictures and concentrate on the words, so most people never learn it and then start to think that it's some sort of big secret thing, when really, it is as simple as reading a good book or reading the notes of a symphony. But on you go, continue to fight against this supposed system.

MDB: have you checked out the photography forum yet?
You should: a lot of the lingo goes right above my head ( I just look at the pretty pictures ), it has a section where members put pictures up for criticism.

I'd not noticed there was a photography forum as well… mind you, I'm going to stay away from it I think. I've 'lost' two days of my life on here already! Plus someone in the Flickr group I watch has been the victim of some fairly heavy duty stalking, personal abuse and even DDOS attacks on her professional photography website just because she said that the Fuji X10 was quite a good little camera on the wrong forum. Not sure if it was to do with the forum having a commercial interest in a rival brand or just pompous 'gear-heads' being insecure about their cam choice, but either way it took a little bit of the fun out of my new camera when I read all that.

Nae worries: the photography forum (access from top of CC home page) belongs to Shaun, no carry on in there
Lots of CChatters frequent it.

Not a great pic but the sunlight on the fountain pleased me at the time
