The Photography Thread

I used a cheap Fujifilm digital camera and cropped the picture to get this. There were some unappealing objects which I didn't want in it.

Globalti?

From the top of Catbells... I love to remember the quiet calm of that moment, out of the wind watching the clouds scudding by... just the occasional far distant rip of a motorbike or a plane way overhead on it's way to America from Heathrow.

Globalti?

Ha ha!

Ugly fencing, rusty agricultural equipment, that kind of thing.

Here's a coincidence ...

The Fuji camera hasn't been used since last autumn when I bought a smartphone which has a camera capable of that quality of photograph (good enough for posting on the web or emailing to friends and family, though probably not good enough to print). I just got a call from a friend who has just gone down to Cornwall for a holiday and has forgotten to take her camera. She wants me to post my Fuji camera down to her tomorrow so she can take some holiday snaps!

Very nice.

Very nice.

Thanks. Not quite the angle I wanted, but the dog was fussing and the pavement was filled with people and kids going to and from the village shop for ice cream so I bid a hasty retreat. Got the colours spot on though. The church put flower boxes on the whole length of the wall that runs alongside the road and there's at least one type of flower on the go for most of the year. It's beautiful and is almost enough for me to forgive them for polluting the night sky and banishing the stars by lighting up the tower as soon as it gets dark.

Some arty treatment of one of my "Another Place" images...

[QUOTE 2453393, member: 9609"]Quite an optical illusion as well, all the hills in front get slightly higher

I am standing at 310m,
hill 'A' = 327m
hill 'B' = 336m (nearly hidden away down there)
hill 'C' = 403m
hill 'D' = 564m

Hill 'B' looks so much lower but is actually 26m higher than where I am standing. But interestingly when you stand on hill 'B' you look down to 'A' and where I took this photo.[/quote]

perhaps it is my mountaineering experience - or living in the Lakes, Pennines or Scotland, but that is the order I had them in.
If I had to guess I would say the one off to the right is around the 600m height or so, but it could be a touch further away that in seems which would put it more around 650m? though I could be totally wrong given I have not been out of the house in the last 2 weeks from ill health and am just really enjoying the light in this photo!

I photograph I took of the Millennium Centre in Cardiff.

Reiver, where are those hills - they look familiar?

The file name is a clue! (Cheviots/Sunnyside Hill)

Doh! must pay more attention in future!

I spent about half an hour with this nosey parker this evening, and very fruitful and mellow it was too
