The Photography Thread

It is. One of my early passions - this is a Roman dig at Usk in Wales behind what is now HMP & YOI Usk

At the time it was a youth detention centre and the 'inmates' helped us by clearing off the top 3 feet of topsoil. Allegedly fights took place inside the centre to determine who went out to help.

if I can be a pedantic toss pot for a second.... Lightening photographs are not 'perfectly' timed, the are taken with the camera on a tripod with several minutes of exposure while the photographer hopes that the lightening will strike during such time. So there.

[QUOTE 2363802, member: 9609"]I love this photo

I once helped with a Ganet tangled in fishing wire, incredibly powerful bird, Huge as well, bigger than a great black backed[/quote]

I know what you mean, it's terrible what discarded fishing gear can do.

A touch of nice light as a snow storm is coming through - should have gotten the big camera out, but holding it is hurting my cracked rib, so settled for capturing the shot/moment rather than perfecting the image!

and the view from the holiday home sitting room window...

Just had a fantastic sunset. a gap in the snow storm convinced me it was worth the pain in my cracked rib to hold the big camera + 200mm lens... the view from the balcony/sitting room window (again, sorry could not resist posting them). It is actually the first time since we came back from our aborted world tour that I have been convinced to get the big camera out - lost the desire for a while.
I only took 80 pictures ( ) of the sunset unfolding... I was a good girl and have only inflicted 4 of them on you!

The pics aren't great because they were taken with my crappy point and shoot.
