Triban 3 Owners Club

[Radchenister]

Affirmative, we have found in our studies that humans on the internet are highly illogical and have limited control of their basic emotions, rather like when someone is angry with themselves they rant on into cyberspace with little actual malice meant, thankfully the people they are vexing at rarely relate this faceless aggression with the reality of meeting people in the physical world and therefore they all continue through modern life and internet interactivity in a kind of dream like schizophrenic state, where in lieu of just a few 'voices' there are literally thousands ...

Woop. As of today, I am now a member of the Triban 3 club.

Not too bad, wind was a little, as you like to say ... 'inyourfacerly' ... all the way there and across to the other side but the plus was whizzing back on the way home.

Discovered that the Severn Bridge is a cycling Mecca - loads of people out cycling across it.

Great photo apart from the low qual. Really well composed.

It's a simple photomerge jazzed up quickly to save it and a bit crude at that, as Photoshop has bent the bridge with a severe angle which is a shame (if you look left and up from the bike you'll see it) - used just two layers (+ a filter) for the colour and BnW and then I used the grain feature; I was after a 70s/80s vibe on purpose (except for the bike red splash) as that was the last time I cycled over the bridge and the grainy rough style covers up the digital mess - the basic version is boring by comparison .

Now that post was geeky, so I take the crown lol .

As boring as the original might seem, composition is everything, so you did something right. The bent bridge just makes it seem like a wide lens was used. Suits the subject to be fair, and gives the photo an epic scale. Nice use of grain too.

I'm a bit of a photog, so please do be geeky

I won't claim to be any kind of geek on that front actually, I do have a friend who is mind and there's no way I'm going to be getting up to his level without a major spend and some serious time / effort / learning (thanks SP for the loan, anyone want to know who this is by then PM me):

Very nice, not Rob Dickinson by any chance?

 

[Radchenister]

No, not a man all that well known (yet perhaps) but should be - not meant to be a quiz this, just making sure I reference my buddy's work, as it's all his own.

looks very similar to someone I 'knew' from a photography website I used to frequent, Paul Haynes.

Nice pics...rAD!

Liking your image of the Red T3 on the Bridge and the colour landscape is stunning.

Photography is one of my passions. I studied Photography on a C&G course and for my LRPS back in the days of Darkroom,aka mi kitchen), Chocolate Hob-Nobs and hair-raising chemicals (all handled with gay abandon) but my digital work since never really caught up so no excuse for any geekiness on my part!

Hours of emulsive fun!

My cat still smells of Fixer.
