Wurzel

Seriously Bicks, that first one is great, one thing would try though is getting rid of the bird in the red, and seeing if that makes a better picture. The kid and the Dad look cool, especially as they are dressed like models!!

Harsh crowd, eh Bicks :winkold: , love the first one, did you know the lad and father in the picture, if not how do you approach photographing people? Do you ask their permission first? "nd picture is cool , great subject. Third one, lovely colours, really like it. Forth one, good photo, just that the dark background, top right looks a bit odd for some reason. IMO great photos, I wish I had more of an eye for framing a photo, like yourself, sometimes I can o it, but it is like a bolt of inspiration when it happens, rarely!

Lovely stuff Bicks, any more?

Nope. But when you are 160 tons + going at 100 miles an hour, i dont think a seatbelt will save you in a crash anyway! True - I just didnt know if some sort of regulation made you wear one or not - you have to ask then why you wear them on a plane (but I do know its because you can be thrown around the cabin and the stopping distance is a lot more severe) Do pilots wear belts? I know passengers do on takeoff and landing, but thats it. On a train, if you have a collision its going to lead down one of two roads. 1] its something big/heavy and a seatbelt wont save you anyway. 2] its something not so big/heavy and it will just disintegrate when a train hits it. I cant ever see there being seatbelts put in trains. Why would a train driver need a seat belt? surely a train should be the only thing on the tracks going in one direction at any one time?

Tell me you're joking :shock: Before I answer, I want to know if Wurzel was joking... I'm sick of arguing these things all on my own. I think wurzle was (indirectly) calling you a f*ckwit I dont think I was, I would not be so rude, it was just a general comment! :winkold:

Absolutely, there are far too many f*ckwits walking around at the moment, I'm all for idiots doing dangerous things, let them drive without seat belts, ride without helmets, give them as much hard drugs as they want. The more idiots that die prematurely the better quality the remaining gene pool is.

So thats you you git, SPEED UP!!!! and Close your window, I dont want to here your Perry Como 8-track!!! :winkold: :winkold:

I think your right Bicks, its all about what you are going to want the camera to do. As an untrained amateur photographer I made the choice of the Fuji S9500 because it had more than enough features for my standard of photography, with a great zoom, and spectacular picture quality, but with the fixed lens I didn't have to worry about lens choice and extra costs. Now I am extremely happy with the capabilities of my camera. ATM it still amazes me 9 months on, and I am still learning how to use it, but there may be a time when I will find it limiting and desire a more versatile camera. We will see, if I was going to upgrade I would go for Canon though, I had a little 2MP Canon, and it was great, and had some nice features for an early digital camera.

Thanks for the tips n' things Bicks :winkold: I will give them a try next time. The stitch program was photostitch from Canon, and TBF the light was really changing. I lightened the foreground with photoshop. I was wondering about the curve, I used a tripod to keep it level, so I was surprised by the amount of curve in the photo.

Took this last night, difficult conditions, very bad light, I was trying to capture some of the drama of the clouds, but I'm not happy about the way it stitched together. Just goes to show how fast light changes!

just not possible, anouncements and all sorts have to be made to the S.E. im not well up on the s.e but can an anouncement be made in the morning :roll: Yes.

I'm getting very bored with this now, as I said in the Dutch thread This IMO, is what the interested parties need to consider, and very quickly!

Aghhhhh, F*ckin stupid SSN reporter!!!!!! :x I very much doubt MON appointment has anything to do with Ellis, and from the interviews with some of the fans it looks as if Ellis is going to get a very easy ride. NUTS! :evil:

Lets hope not!!!!!

Very true, but if he retains enough of them, he would, like any large shareholder, like to have an opportunity to sit on the board.

I would guess that is what he is thinking.

It says this From here

Taken on my old 2 mega pixel Canon, easy subject to get good results.

Love the footy one, very good. I have taken loads like the first one, there is something there, but I haven't been able to get it out, IMO you have got that interesting tree near the middle, the squiggly one, and the different shades of green, but I would have trouble in knowing how to capture them. Maybe a zoom on that area and a bit of photo editing would do the job! :winkold:

Double post

Great shots boys, its a pier frenzy!!!!!!! Wierd things piers, I mean why? whats the point?

Grant, and anybody else who needs photo editing software, this months DVD edition of PC Advisor comes with full versions of Photoplus 7, Photostudio 8, and Panorama Plus free. Why pay when you can get it for free!

Thanks Paddy, the thing on the pier looks false because of the sun I think, there is a weird reflection on the picture. The hills are the welsh hills across the Bristol channel, the pier is a Clevedon. Well done with the win BTW!!

Another one messed with:

One of Tonights efforts..
