Sorry it's not especially grim @hogso Ah, now I do like our stretch of canal. We went for a run down towards Hartshill last weekend (well, to Dobbies eventually), and there were some sights along that stretch I'd love to have had a camera for. A mini (or something small anyway) with the roof cut off, barely recognisable, hidden next to path amongst overgrown shrubs and such sticks in the mind specifically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I've spent the last 4 or 5 evenings sat out the back garden watching Venus arc across the sky just after sunset. It's been great star weather lately. (I know Venus isn't a star and no, I couldn't see Uranus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted June 27, 2018 Moderator Share Posted June 27, 2018 I took this picture on our approach into Manchester Airport earlier today. It shows the smoke cloud from the fire on Saddleworth Moor stretching across the city. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) Just checking to see if this forum can directly embed from Instagram as it's where most of my photos get uploaded to. Will fill a post out later with some more that I like, but these two are from a couple of days ago when we had that nice sunset. Sadly I didn't knock off work until about half an hour after the sun went down. Edited June 28, 2018 by The_Rev 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Not the best photo ever, a 'snap' taken with the phone on my constitutional this morning. We had a fairly decent storm here, overnight about a week ago. It took about 2 foot depth of sand off the one beach and it clearly dredged up some deep sea bed. If you can see the black patches on the sand there, that's coal dust from an industrial past. Ninety years of being a coal exporting port lead to a fair bit being dropped along the route out of the dock and down the channel. Once in a blue moon we get a combination of tides and storms that picks up a few tons and drops it on a local beach. I quite like it. I presume the local tourist bods go in to panic mode. It'll wash away again soon enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The_Rev Posted September 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2018 From August 2018: Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. The Sagrada Família. I don't think it's possible for a single photograph to do this justice, it's so ridiculously detailed and so ridiculously big that it totally overwhelms you in the best possible way. A magnificent building. Ravenglass, Lake District. The tide was coming in, it probably came from the boat to where I was in about thirty seconds. Eskdale, lake district. Was pissing about with an old Soviet lens I'd bought on eBay (Helios 44-2 f/2) for about £40 which gives ridiculous bokeh when wide open, but when it's stepped down it's pretty sharp. And while I was up in The Lakes I had a crack at astrophotography as the milky way was entirely visible. Our cottage was on the side of a mountain which formed a relatively narrow valley and the view wasn't great from there so this was just from a layby on the main road. I got a lot of respect for the people who do this sort of stuff properly and set up a tent hours before sunset just to get a good composition. Back in Brum. Was just messing around with shooting jpeg on my camera as most of the time I shoot RAW. Fuji jpegs are really really good. Handheld snapshot while running for a train, but there was good light. I'll bet you could get something magnificent from this spot if you stood there for half an hour. That Helios lens again. Manual focus, wide open. After the Reading game. People trying not to look too annoyed. Shot on a Sony RX100 iii. The Serpentine, Hyde Park. 200mm. Portobello Road, Notting Hill. The day after the carnival ended. Picnic area, Kensington Gardens. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 That's pretty normal behaviour there Bicks, it's right outside New Street station on the curve from the tram platforms to where the line goes uphill towards Corporation Street. I'm standing on the ramp looking down (through glass) and it's a sea of people at all times. If anything it's usually busier than in the photo. And yeah, Barcelona is great for photography. I kinda wish I'd taken my big camera, but the RX100 did superbly to be fair to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though my where there's blame money should be coming through any week soon, so who knows, maybe sooner than I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
