I don't tend to hunt around for picture online, however, on the Tokyo theme, this one from a guy called Bal (http://bal.spawnpoint.org/gallery) I know in the gaming scene really appealed to me:

He was about 6 ft away from us when we spotted him (we were in a car so not as bad as it might sound)

Every time I see that pic stu, I think two things 1) You jammy get 2) It could really do with a bit of creative cropping esp the top and right sides.

Jumping out of a hotel window into a pool I can sort of understand, but how does the skateboard fot in to the equation?
-
I think when you are as obsessed with skateboarding as my friends are, it pretty much fits into every equation! He actually landed in the pool with the board tucked under his feet like an indy, hopefully the sequence my friend took on his SLR will come out well. our time in Crete was meant to be a bit of a skate mission, after seeing some awesome spots from Greece in a video. we only found a few spots, anfd they were rubbish, so the sun and the beer took over instead!
-
obvious, he's doing an acid drop and as every non-skater knows he's gonna surf on his deck, 'cos that's what skaters do.
that sea-cliff looks nice
-
Loose as hell - all the cliffs i checked out along the coast were poorly consolidated limestones and alluvial deposits, proper adventure climbing territory!

it just looks like cool limestone.

Here's some of my surfing and related pictures..
(http://ukbouldering.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10335/Kaisers_hot_chick.jpg)
Mrs FD and yours truly took advantage of a mates wedding and did a a two week stay in Hawaii last Summer. From April to September, the North Shore is flat but the South Shore gets all the swell from the Pacific. I had a really nice 6'6" single fin 'Egg' board shaped by Donald Takayama before I went out and we stayed in a hotel overlooking Kaisers, Ala Moana's and 3's - all famous Sth Shore breaks if anyone is familiar with surfing history. The girl in the picture above was typical of the line-up - makes a change from a bearded grumpy Yorkshireman...
(http://ukbouldering.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10335/Ala-Moana.jpg)
A pic from Ala Moana's taken from the balcony of our hotel room - this was the typical surf each day. You hear horror stories of localism at Hawaii breaks but every'ting was cool when I was there.

Closer to home. Saltburn, September 2004 on a nice mid week swell.

A pic from last Saturday at Huntington Pier, Orange County, Ca. I was in the US working for a week and spent the weekend with a mate who I met on surfing trip in Barbados. He showed me some spots over last weekend & I got to surf the famous Huntington Pier which was taking a reasonable swell. It looks crowded but it's really 'peaky' so it spreads everybody out. I got loadsa waves which was a nice treat - it was a bit bigger than it looks in this photo 'cos it's shot looking down from the pier......
(http://ukbouldering.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10335/Huntington_2.jpg)
Another Huntington shot.. we got to surf Oxnard on Sunday which is a place I've always wanted to visit since the Campbell brothers invented their Bonzer 5 fin design there in the 70's.

Some pics from the ex-climbers Mentawai trip a couple of years back.... Some of these are Jason Myers and Pete Buko's photo's. We had a 13 day trip to the island chain that's rated as the best surfing venue in the world. It was during SARS and the Iraq War so the place was deserted and we had places like Hollow Trees (Lances Right), E-Bay, Lance's Left, PLaygrounds etc to ourselves.

Ho hum, me neither ! Errrrr, it's been as flat as a pancake on the east coast for WEEKS now :(
-
Riding Giants?
Not sure, it talked about Mavericks, Waimea and Jaws and when Mark Foo drowned. It was a really good film!
-
I think it might well be, all those bits are in it. The section with Greg Knoll riding something huge on North Shore is done using drawings, as there was no footage?
-
The pic is of a break called Teahopuu in Tahiti on a big swell...
-
The section with Greg Knoll riding something huge on North Shore is done using drawings, as there was no footage?
Yeah there were some drawings. Was it Mavericks that was ridden for 15 years before Jeff Clark (I think it was he?) told anyone about it?
-
then there is some truth to the rumour that everything was done years ago :lol:
watched the opening footage of some big wave riding at clm's :crazy:
-
Jeff Clark rode Mavericks pretty much by himself for 10 to 15 years before it suddenly appeared on the map in about 93/94. He did tell people about it but it was a combination of Hawaiian snobbery (that no where could get as good as Waimea/Log Cabins etc.), the draw of Todos Santos in Baja which was traditionally where Californian big wave surfing gravitated towards and the fact that Mavericks is a cold-water venue which was off putting for lots of people.
I've not seen Riding Giants myself but the Greg Noll story will either be about Pipeline (he was the first to ride it and the first to ride it when it was breaking out at the third reef) or about his 'slaying the dragon' at Makaha when he paddled into what was by far the biggest wave ever attempted and perhaps still today represents the pinnacle of what is possible without artificial assistance (jet ski's, helicopters etc.) - he stopped surfing the moment he'd done it and hasn't ridden a surfboard since.
-
..because it shit him up or because he knew it wouldn't get any better?
-
..because it shit him up or because he knew it wouldn't get any better?
Both IIRC, but more the latter as the former tends to fade with time. He said something akin to 'I'd done everything I'd wanted to do'. Its covered well in a great book by Dan Duane (who also wrote a great Yosemite book) called Caught Inside which is one of the best books on surfing.

Picture of Guillemot (I think?) chowing down (on some sort of fishy?) in Caithness.
This pic is gagging for a caption, if anyone fancies it.
-
That's a Black Guillemot. I've seen loads of the normal ones but never seen a black one.
-
They are pretty cute birds. Amazing in the air and fishing in the sea, but useless at landing on the cliffs. Wish I had a video camer with me, pure comedy.
Any idea on the fish? Blenny or something?
-
Mmmm Blenny's a fair guess, hard to tell with it's head at that angle.

They are miserable looking fish at the best of times, I guess that one is double pissed off.

Butterfish? Looks pretty similar with the spots and everything.

No drugs at the time, I can corroborate the presence of the puffins independently. Unless North Sea cold or nearby jellyfish in the sea can have a mind altering effect.

looks like a photoshop job to me...
-
nah, it's just Tyler Klassen (who's rather good) with lotsa flash coz it's in the murky woods.
-
yeah the fill-flash does contribute to the effect, but something about the scale/ angle of the bike looks wierd. Guess the leaves must be bigger out there...
-
The perspective does look strange - his angle looks weird too, compared to where he's taken off, but I think that's because he's pushed the rear wheel to his right in the air, whatever the name for that is.
-
he's pushed the rear wheel to his right in the air, whatever the name for that is.
Showing Off?
-
Definitely showing off - but then people also say that it's better to do some sort of trick in the air in order to maintain better control over the bike. I'm still at the panic and try to land without pain stage.
-
I've heard people make similar claims about doing grabs on a snowboard. Surely the whole original idea of grabs in skateboarding was to keep the board under your feet while in the air; isn't that what bindings do?
-
I guess it keeps you actively controlling the bike/board in the air instead of just letting it do it's own thing with you following. Dunno, but there's gotta be something in it.
-
This dude has definitely got it wrong:

Well of course I ve gone higher, when no ones looking. Even after 3 months practise I think you would struggle to get 25ft out of a 3ft quarter!

Nice snap Jim. Me and the missus managed to drag our arses out of bed
and went down to Crosby beach to watch the sunset over Anthony
Gormley's "Another Place."
Was baltic but managed some reasonable shots!

WOW!:o :o now thats an impressive photo. Could you do somthin like that with a canon eos 5? I'm getting 1 of them soon.
-
With the camera, yes. It's all down to the lens though. And the flash by the look of it..
-
You're going to need a rather patient insect too :wink:

These macro photographers have ways and means for that. Usual trick is to stick the beastlet in the fridge for half an hour or so, and then pose it on a leaf in the studio and shoot it while it is recovering.

searching for ben moons site and found ben moon photographer, not ben moon climber - much better. the guy seems to make a living photographing surf chicks in bikinis. great wave phohots too.

Back to the waves, was at Porth Ceriad on Thursday, fairly impressive. First time I've seen tubes properly blowing out in the uk. No one in the water though, too big for the welsh scene?
As for cornwall, looked amazing. Did it go off again later in the week. And more importantly, did JC surf the Boneyard again? Radical.

That is a true point, but not necessarily one in your favour.

Hmmm, I am an idiot I suppose, but at least my grammar is all correct! Thanks Mel Shewan!

-
I'd be most wary if I were you. The praying mantis has a nasty habit of devouring the head of it's male partner.
-
I think she eats all of him, leaving only the head?
-
Perhaps it's a matter of preference, like which way up you each jelly babies.

I had that out about 6 years ago now I think. At least mountains generally have a plentyful supply of air. There were two dudes MIA at nightfall tonight. When I walked home there were 2 helicopters and a boat searching - hopefully theyll turn up ok
The ocean, like the mountain, is a fickle mistress
-
No worries, was only joshing with ya.
I get a lot more scared in the sea than when out climbing, things can go wrong a lot quicker. Got a bit of a pounding at Aberdeen last night, some new sandbanks have made for some nasty dumpy waves.
And I think she is more fickle than ficcal.

Seconds pretty obvious, hot fun closing in a old skool style
Third is from the left, elbow of Nic Kidd, Ian Vincent, the esteemed bubbs and myself. This is 7am at the legendary edgedale road house party, we were winding it up to go home and loads of people descended from the clubs and pleaded with us to carry on.As you can see were rather refreshed and full of beans ;)be around '96
-
in that bottom picture it looks like buub's has just tweaked ya bum, and you've gone all coy! as for the ameericans, glad they're letting the baby take the brunt and are all fleeing for their corpulent selves...

The Bat pic is really something else. The jaw definition, in fact everything about it is brilliant. The guy (top right) is loving the whole photo-op thing. :wave:
-
I think (says it all really) I was at that Edgedale Rd party. Any other UKB regulars? In fact, that reminds me, how many of you lot do I know without realising it?
-
I may have been there, but again not sure.
Me and Andy Crome met/did a spot of bouldering with you on occasion. Vaguely recall sharing a spliff or two at the Plantation many moons ago. I had long hair and dodgy round glasses back then.

There's a simple truth to you Jon, yessir. Looks more like twenty years ago.

The village idiot look never goes out of fashion!
Man that was a cold damp night, sat on a pallet huddled under a tarp in the pissing rain!
-
Me? A spliff? I think you must be thinking of someone else. jon, I remember you and Andy well and had long sussed your nom de plumes
-
Bonj, I am intrigued by that karabiner / sling / whatever combo there, can you enlighten?
-
Me too. And where is that, Newbury?
-
Yes it was the Newbury protest. Went down with FBSF, Zippy, Patta, Andy and some others, to help rig ropeways between trees so the protesters could move about between trees at speed. Very scary in retrospect, crossing twixt trees high above ground with one strand of polyprop for hands and one for feet, attached to branches of unknown strength with random gypsy knots, tied by god knows who!
Turned up quite late at the camp (which was a very marshy patch of carr woodland)in a pissing rainstorm, having been to the pub till chuck-out. Everyone except me and Crome managed to find some sort of a dry doss for the night. We ended up having to tie a rope that was hanging from a treehouse off to the base of another tree, pull a tarp over the top and put a pallet down 'inside'. Then spent the night fruitlessly trying to avoid getting mud on Mark Turnbull's sleeping bag which I had borrowed without permission (not advisable, if you know Mark!). Our fitfull slumber was interupted at first light by a cacophony of horns, drums, howls etc, as the protester thought the police where raiding the camp. Turned out they weren't, but not before everyone had hurriedly de-camped and legged it up the trees.
-
Remembered the name of the camp now, it was Rickety Bridge. Googled for some pics

Firstly, here's yours truly, looking sharp as ever. We put the comical glasses on for effect by the way!

Cheers for that Golt, brilliant pics..
Oh, and the comet one is amazing.

Glad you like them Sam, I cant help but piss myself when I look at them. Its a good laugh!
How olds your wee one/two by the way? Aint fatherhood great??!!

I'm rocking a 2 year old and a 6 week old. I've got a girl and a boy and they are both ace. Especially at times like exactly this when they are both asleep.. Ahhhhh, 25 golden minutes..
I'm sorry everybody I know it is a bit cheesy, but Golt did ask about them and I do think it is a good photo (obviously, though not as good as the beach one or the comet one..)

This is my 2 year old. She's been taking note of Daddy's board routine- hangs off everything:

Tried her on the board too. Her hands are too small so she has to use a very open grip. And she needs a close spot too, especially with stone flooring!!

impressive open handing in the last pic.
Ruby hangs of things now and again, but I tend to do most of training in the garage after she has gone to bed so she don't see so much of it. I shall have to do more day time inspiring.

As for quality photos which are far more amusing on closer inspection a few days later, may I point you in the direction of Mr Westie Whittakers recent posting on the Climbing Works blog. In the recent post for the Peace in the Park festival, I give you photos one and three. Click on them to reveal the full glory! You can get to the blog with this link - http://climbingworks.blogspot.com/
I await the debate on the following. Has Westie really mistakenly captured a) a fantastic tranny and b) an MDMA casualty/Joey Deacon impersonater? Fine work by the David Bailey of the phone camera!

Clear-cut calibre? Ask him why the sleeves are firmly rolled down?
I reckon he also has a look of concentration on his face like he is in the process of releasing one.

On an aside, going riding in Whistler for a week would be awesome. Although coming back to Wharncliffe might not be so appealing.

If you're ever up for some DH stuff in Wharncliffe, let me know, as all my housemates derive their pleasure from riding up hills which doesn't suit me at all...

We're often up there on a Sunday so if you're going up then drop us a PM - was a bit slippy today but messed about on the top half of Fasttrack, did a couple of Nemba runs, played on the easier bits of No Human, then a Peaty's run and did a Diamond Back run to finish. I'm trashed from all the pushing up!

I'd say go - I'm just a useless fool on a mountain bike that doesn't know my own limitations (some say I'm similar on the rock face too)
The place is completely lethal but oh so much fun (until something like this happens that is - nevertheless, I was lucky, from what I heard the girl in the cubicle next will be lucky if she ever walks again...)

Nice shuttle pic.
I remember watching the 1st shuttle launch on TV, I was 8 and living in Chaddeston, Derby. It was 1980 if I recall correctly . . .

Ja, great Shuttle pics Bubs, beautiful. I want to go into space. I'd risk it all just to look down upon Earth, squint my eyes, hold up my finger & thunb and go: I'm squishing your head, I'm squishing your head to the planet.
The pics really impress upon you what an old hotpotch nearly 40 year old craft the Shuttle is. Can't wait for the next generation to arrive. Been waiting long enough . . .

Think W probably spent all the money for it elsewhere. Love how cobbled together the shuttle looks - all the bits at the front look like they were riveted on as an afterthought. Great pics though.

Was great fun, but knackering walk in touring boots, and got blisters on my shins. Still snowing like mental in the mountains (all cairngorms ski resorts are currently inaccessible due to closed roads). Hope it holds until weekend, first time in a while that Scottish resorts are open later than some continental ones. Ski after work is even a vague possibility!

Cheers, will pass on compliment, but unfortunatley I cannot claim it though, I forgot to take camera. Me in the bottom two though.

Not sure about quality, but interesting nonetheless, if only the geological aspect. Also, do you think it would be as popular if the walk in was this steep?

Apologies for the shameless plugging of my pics, the lady who was driving was fine, she said the engine literally caught fire whilst she was driving, so she sensibly pulled over and got out sharpish. One rather brave cyclist pedaled through the black billowing smoke before the fire brigade turned up.....whilst the tyres were still going pop!!! He got through fine thankfully.
Fortunately (to an extenet) it was a diesel, so there wasn't as much chance of the fuel-tank exploding as there would have been had it been petrol.

It was an Isuzu of sorts, not sure of the model I'm afraid.

This is a real photograph of an atmospheric phenomenon known as a circumhorizon(tal) arc, the example shown above was captured on camera as it hung for about an hour across a several-hundred square mile area of sky above northern Idaho (near the Washington border) on 3 June 2006.
In general, a circumhorizontal arc (or "fire rainbow") appears when the sun is high in the sky (i.e., higher than 58° above the horizon), and its light passes through diaphanous, high-altitude cirrus clouds made up of hexagonal plate crystals. Sunlight entering the crystals' vertical side faces and leaving through their bottom faces is refracted (as through a prism) and separated into an array of visible colors. When the plate crystals in cirrus clouds are aligned optimally (i.e., with their faces parallel to the ground), the resulting display is a brilliant spectrum of colors reminiscent of a rainbow.
Never heard of it before, pretty amazing.

Scottish supporters rarely actually get to leave Scotland (given the national team's record), so they need to blow off steam once in a while.
(This is a joke btw an I in no way condone any football related voilence, or any violence whatsoever (although if I had to support such a shit sport I would get pretty violent as well (especially if I had to live in Glasgow to top it off))).

In response to the Chinese disaster photo I dont think it should be taken down. It is very upsetting but that's the point. I have often wondered whether I would have the ability to stay as impartial as I could and not dive in there and help if I was put in such a situation. I suppose the only way that the people behind the camera in such heart-breaking pictures manage to refrain from ditching the camera and helping as best they could is that they know that people back at home will see the photos and that they may then dig deep and donate to the aid operation thus indirectly saving lives.
I could see there being a potential argument for taking it down if this site was frequented by young people who are perhaps of a more sensitive nature but the vast majority of people on here are adult and mature(!). Its a lot worse for the people actually living that nightmare than for us sitting in front of a computer.

i don't have a problem with the photo per se, nor the content. people just seemed to miss my point, being that i didn't think the photo was 'quality'.

That's what I was agreeing with so I'm glad it's what you meant.

How do you know that the person behind the camera didn't put it down after snapping the pic and get stuck in helping? The two aren't mutually exclusive.

Do you mean "technically" it's not particularly good? If so I agree with you, but when it comes to reportage, surely content and impact far outweigh technicality (for want of a better word) when it comes to judging quality?
-
Technically its fine, but other than that its just a competent photo of some dead kids. Its not a great photo by any measure.

Guess I must just be a bit more emotional then, and moved by photos of a tragedy.
-
I guess it all depends upon your personal interpretation of "quality". To me it doesn't just mean a technically accomplished or especially artistic photo, it can just mean something that makes you feel something, whether that be joy or despair.
Perhaps we should have a seperate topic for photo-journalism pics? I seem to remember the last time I posted something similar not everyone thought it should be in this topic.

A city official in Mexico took this amazing picture of a deadly traffic accident Sunday in Matamoros, Mexico. The accident, which left one cyclist dead and at least 10 others hurt, is getting international attention mainly because of this photograph. The photo, credited to Jose Fidelino Vera Hernandez, ran in the Mexican newspaper Hoy Tamaulipas and on the AP wire this week.
According to the AP: "Police investigator Jose Alfredo Rodriguez says the 28-year-old driver was apparently drunk and fell asleep when he crashed into the race. A photograph taken by a city official shows bicyclists and equipment being hurled high in to the air by the collision."

Saw this at the Hong Kong science museum where they had an exhibition on optical illusions.

They made a mistake photographing it with a wideangle, makes the join far more obvious than in the colour one.

That was my mistake, wasn't wide-angle, just a shitty point-and-shoot and shot through a viewing hole (hence the vignetting).

The illusion of 3d, made with old stereo cards, those old photographies from the 19th century that contained two different views of the same subject to give the illusion of depth. He converts them into pseudo-3D GIF images which can be seen without glasses, in your monitor. [Stolen from Giz]

Genius!
Perhaps because its 'too warm to climb' at the mo and dense 'won't be climbing til july'? Haven't seen any decrease in the rate of protein shake though, or beans on toast for that matter. Is that what they call training?

That makes sense, conditions always get good in July :-\

How come he's got a little tartan cape on? Is this a new fashion in the dog world I've missed?
-
It's not a cape, it's a bandana, all the cool pups are wearing them. ;)

he could be a bay city rollers fan.

And I thought tartan capes were bad...at work today I was hunting flickr for an image to go with the word 'geek' (don't ask...) and found this:

Edited to reflect facts.

For the record, I would never make my dog (if I had one) wear a bandana. :thumbsdown:
Mine would have a really cute pink sparkly hoodie with princess written on the back instead ;)

Um, no thanks.

I saw that in the paper yesterday; would he get boiled alive if he fell in? :(
-
I would have thought so.
Tentative at first, the adrenalin-junkie (!) paddled to within 20ft of the lava, before moving back from water that reached 200C in places, melting the wax on his surfboard and burning his feet in the process.

Very compliant models on those shots.
Here are some interesting pics, they look like your usual shots from the Space Shuttle/Station, but a group from Oklahoma State University boxed up a Pentax k10d, tied it to a big fuck-off balloon and let it float up into the sky. Got to around 104000ft (about 20 miles) and snapping various pictures (http://www.flickr.com/photos/arena5/sets/72157606119049987/) along the way. Apparently got to -60C and almost vacuum like conditions and the camera worked fine. More info in the Pentax forums (http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-dslr-discussion/31970-pentax-k10d-space.html). Don't think I'll be sending my dSLR up into space any time soon.

A lovely HDR image - I know this is probably a daft question but how do you do HDR on moving subjects? Don't you need 3 or more bracketed pics?
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2120/2090459727_9ffa28d8e3_b.jpg)
-
That should be in the PS hall of shame. That bird looks like it's been glued on.
-
it must be for a HDR image
-
Ah, here's the answer:
you're quite wrong. No composition work whatsoever has been done (I can share you the original RAW file). This is a single-exposure HDR -- tone-mapping has been performed for a single RAW file. There's nothing "fake" in it -- in this case the tone-mapping operator has done a 12->8 bit quantization. Had I used more exposures, I could've grown the number of bits to perhaps 13,14,15 -- but, as you said, multiple exposures don't work well with moving objects.
The reason why the bird looks a bit "pasted" is that I took a 12mm wide-angle lens and approached the (rather tame) bird very slowly -- I managed to get within inches of it before it took off. Wide-angle lenses aren't usually used for such close-up shots.
-
Is this guy a ninja? how did he get so close and take that shot with a 12m lens?
-
Yes, very lucky or very tame bird!
His photostream (http://www.flickr.com/photos/wili/) is worth a look for other stuff too - i like this one:
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3251/2691809503_bd8ec4d118_b.jpg)
So, anyone know if making an HDR image using the same .raw file give the same results as doing it from multiple exposures?
-
It gives similar results though the starting tonal range is smaller, so it's not really 'H'DR, more like 'M'DR. Basically, you process the raw file twice to give images optimized for highlights and shadows, and then combine. Rather more realistic results can be acheived by using other methods for the combination.
Just for the record, I find those shots offensive. Fucking awful. I think in ten year folk will look at much of this era of photography as a fucking joke.
-
Cheers for the explanation.
Why do you find those photos so offensive? Those pics particularly or are you not a fan of HDR as a whole?
-
I know nothing about photography (and due to this will not even try to justify/describe why) but I fully agree with JB on this.
-
I think the vast majority of HDR is overdone and looks tacky.
Very occasionally I'll come across one on flickr where its labelled up as HDR, but you couldn't tell, and I guess its the sort of shot that could have been achieved in-camera if the person snapping it had known how to use all the functions on the camera.
Either way, doesn't really matter what I think, if people like playing around with their pictures in that manner thats their business, no one forces me to look at their work.
Would love to know how those night-time pics Unc posted were done, either in a hot-air baloon on a very still evening, or one big fuck-off stabalising system from a helicopter!!

Cheers had flicked through some of his pics, but hadn't had time to read about his set-up.

In those examples, it adds nothing to the image whilst drawing attention to the use of the technique. I say 'drawing', its more like having a gun to your head. I have seen HDR used well, but as SL says its not obvious. The original intention was to find a way of rendering a scene of excessive contrast, not to take a scene of normal contrast and then make the clouds darker than the ground.
In my own photography, the aim is that any photographic technique or craft should be invisible to the average viewer, ie its like a window on reality.
Most professionals shooting from helicopters use gyros. The vibration is usually pretty intense, you need to be shooting at 1/250 as a minimum in any aircraft. And you have to be careful to keep the camera as far from the fueselage as possible , ie your body damps the vibration. With a heavy camera that gets pretty tiring, the gyro helps with that too.
-
I see your point but isn't it just yet another way of using photographic processing as art as opposed to an attempt at realism?
e.g. solarizsation:

-
It would be if it was art.
-

abhorrent is another word...
great photography is all about restraint. self-limitation is maybe a better way to put it. and those pictures smack of knob-twiddling. just because you have the technical ability to do something (or a gadget to do it for you) doesn't mean you have to do it. i suppose people have always fucked around with pictures, but in the old days it took a lot of time and effort, and you needed a darkroom and/or reprographic kit. now there's so much photo trickery (driven by advertising photography and software manufacturers) that everyone wants to have a go. it's fun. sticking your mates head on the body of jet from gladiators and stuff. but it's not art.
most of these tricks are already becoming hopelessly cliched. i think a lot of it is driven by adverts. someone works out a clever trick. it looks great in an advert. everyone else starts doing it. it becomes ubiquitous, the novelty wears off, it looks shit.
anyone claiming to be producing art photography should be able to rise above all this anyway.
my pet hates also include faked film edges (some bloke in the times shot a load of images at wimbledon and then actually admitted to adding the edges on digitally - i can't remember if he actually claimed that was an artistic decision, but if he did then he's a cunt), faked cross processing (this is right at the nub of the argument - cross processing film is/was actually a form of limitation in some ways, closing off some of the latitude and making the capture of the image harder - the reward was (if done in a suitable situation) a lovely colourful twist. when faked the point is entirely lost.) and people who say, "what's occurring"...
-
Beauty/art is in the eye of the beholder. Just because you don't like a certain photographic style doesn't mean that it isn't art or a good photograph. It just means that you don't like it.
I personally hate much of what is considered to be "great art" but that doesn't mean that it isn't art.
I quite like some of the hdr images - not all of them, but some of them are great imho. If you don't like the effect then that's fair enough but you can't just dismiss it as not being art or a joke - that just smacks of photo snobbery :)
-
Well, fair enough...

That is a very cool kingfisher, amazing detail, you can even make out the membrane over its eye so it can see underwater. It kind of looks like its in a fish tank though which is a little strange but either way :thumbsup:
-
That kingfisher picture is amazing, I wow-ed out loud at it ;D
I'm really tempted to give the fish speech bubbles... :whistle:
-
I does look like a fishtank i agree but shurely it can't be?
I'm amazed how close it is to the bottom - so precise.
I think "oh fuck" might be a big feature of speech bubbles.
-
It'd be hard to do inside unless its a very tame kingfisher. Its just the clarity of the water and stones at the bottom that don't look as natural as you'd expect (but then I
rarely never go snorkling in canals or streams so couldn't say for sure).
Great capture though, reminds me of seeing a sea eagle swooping down and grabbing a fish out of the sea whilst we were on a long-boat in Thailand, wish I'd had my camera out for that one!
-

It's also cool that the can take into account light refraction when diving into water. Pretty cool.

I think its fake. Waters too clear, stones all different rock but similar size and clean, one little plant and that tree looks just like the ones you buy for tanks.
Right place right time?... Suspect! Clever tho
This sums up my feelings lately:

It will be a fish tank...in the middle of a river. These kind of shots have been around for a while. I was at college in the early 90's with a lad who won young wildlife photographer of the year. He had a couple of these kind of shots in his portfolio. Not too difficult to set up but like most wildlife photography you need endless patience. :yawn: At another time he spent weeks (literally) lying on his stomach getting closer to rare sea otters. Mmm fun. The resulting shots were apparently the first of their kind, sea otters swimming in the wild. Shame the shots were shit. ;D
-
Ah that explains it, good knowledge, i had no idea that was common practice - so the camera gear is in a fishtank and triggered remotely (or automatically somehow)? Still a fascinating pic though.
-
It appears the lad still has endless patience as:
a) He is still shooting Kingfishers and otters and has somewhat improved since he was as college
b) he's gone and married Phillippa Forrester.

It's not the cat that is getting the mocking (well it's not really mocking, just a light dig).

Yeah yeah, I know :)
The "aura" is an artefact introduced by one of the settings in Photmatix. It can be removed by merging the processed image with the original. I'm just messing about with the software really - you can get some fun results...
I'm a little worried about Magpie's squeezing - biggie is now hiding under the bed.

:lol: You should sneak in wiht some red paint and change it to "Wilkinson, Not quite this time".
The question is, was he following his SatNav? :P
-
Fuck knows how he did it - the bridge in question is local and everyone knows about it as it's on the main route to the M1 south.
Also, about 1/2 a mile before you get to the bridge there is a gantry with a load of chains hanging from it to warn you. He must have had the stereo on fucking loud or something.
Last guy to do this was sacked, but he'd also tipped a trailer over on a roundabout killing somebody in a car a few years back.
It's also amazing that he didn't stop when he hit it, but carried on taking the whole roof off. Madness.

Shame about the journalistic talents of the reporter who obviously never gets out from behind his desk and thinks that anything thats more than 1mile from the nearest Starbucks qualifies for the tag "Extreme" :wank:. I'd imagine there are various rapids around the world that are far more "extreme"/dangerous.

Wicked, wad points to those guys. Headline should have been "Kayakers' 300ft dam drop praised". Looks well fast and I like the jump at the end. Doesn't look that dangerous - if anyone's seen the waterfall drops on the 80s Birth Of Extreme DVD, they look far, far worse.

Would it actually scrape the bottom? I have no idea. Be fun unless the dingy burst, then it would scrape a bit. White water raft would be choice.
-
I think it would depend on the amount of flow, and the displacement of the dingy. Apparently the more water on the slipway the slower the ride cos of extra turbulence. If there is just a little water it lubricates the concrete whilst not being choppy enough to slow the kayak down.
Yeah... a 300ft slide on low grade concrete would not be fun especially on your face. Like super road rash.

The more HDR images I see the less I like them
HDaRRggghhh.
Those flicka ones are 'subtle' because they don't require HDR in the first place. Its always going to be subtle if you've only 5 stops of tone to start with, ie its LDR
-
Not sure you can say that for certain unless you've seen the originals. If they were ok why did he/she hdr in the first place?
-
I have no idea, because its the cool thing to do on Flicka? I've taken enough photos to recognise a scene with too high contrast for conventional photography, and none of those are.
HDR has its uses, and it is possible to make amazing images with it. However 99% of those I've seen in the last year just use it for its own sake.
-
Got any good ones you can link? I'm keen to see it used to it's best...
-
The problem is those using it for the right reasons are unlikely to want to advertise it- just another tool in the box etc. So the best (to my eye anyway) are unlikely to either look or be labelled HDR.
There's a good primer here though: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/high-dynamic-range.htm (http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/high-dynamic-range.htm)
Note how his examples don't 'look' HDR at all. The average flicka user would have had thrown the local contrast baby out with the global contrast bathwater.
-

I've just discovered its much easier to find awful HDR than even acceptable HDR

I'm with JB on this one - most overtly HDR shots you see on flickr are generall in a set with 160 other similar shots where the guy went out one day thinking "i've read about this on the internet so lets go out and shoot some HDRs", and as a result it always looks fucking dreadful. using any technique for the sake of it generally is a recipe for producing trite unviewable shit. The fact anyone proclaims it as HDR is a warning signal, afterall people have been compositing different exposures of the same images together for the same reason for decades, it just that giving it a name and assigning it to a function in photoshop is new, so people have gone apeshit on it.
-
I know nothing of HDR, and in fact very little about photography.
I can see how your last two pics are 'wrong' Dave. The first looks a bit wierd to me, but still kind of plausible. The second one seems not especially offensive and looks like it could be 'real' to me. Although it also looks like chateau Font, in which case why is the photographer wasting time at a poxy castle when he should be at Cuvier....
Care to provide enlightenment?

I like this: It's well magic mushroomy, it looks like a cheap transfer on some 70's ceramic tat.

basically most people doing HDRs for the sake of it go way to far and as a result it tends to look plain wrong. Even though your eye can see like 24 stops of brightness you still see black shaddows and white highlights, both of which are generally lacking in HDR shots, various shades of grey being substituted instead. so that church shot above looks wrong to me because I know what the inside of a church looks like, and I know that shadows look darker than that, and that the filaments of lights always look bright white regardless. also HDRs tend to have other sideeffects like grossly OTT basic saturation, light halos around objects, things the brain knows are in shadow looking lighter than where the highlights are supposed to be etc etc. To the casual observer who doesn't look at photos critically very often, or knows how various scenes photograph from taking lots of photos themselves, HDRs might not look to offensive, but once you know what you're looking at its like being kicked in the face repeatedly.
Also, if you're someone who's prone to overdoing HDR you're probably also kicking the saturation up to 11 and commiting various other photoshop crimes into the bargain too.

True, the latest "new" thing leaves the photos looking like they were taken with my old Kodak instamatic from the early 80s.

Not seen any up here yet, bloody aberdeen light pollution. Guy I know lives in Banff (the original one) and has a house on the cliffs and sees them occasionally).

Not quite sure how I made the connection, it was possibly the "strategically positioned" part, but this reminded me of a fun day out we had at Chatsworth a month or so ago (not my pic...nore me, and probably not quality either, at least its not HDR!)

Not sure, I've only got one book on whales and dolphins and its on societal systems/behavioural aspects. Telegraph had it labelled as a whale, but I noticed the teeth (hence the Odontoceti which means "toothed whales"), but then killer whales have teeth :shrug: Been too long since I studied taxonomy.

I was gonna drive to mam tor saturday for sunrise but didn't fancy the wind. it was bad enough at higgar. i had frost forming on the tripod.

Aye was bloody freezing, we got out the car just after 07:00 stood at the very top for a bit then dropped down a bit to try and get out of the wind (didn't help much we thought, until returning to the top and getting the full on ice-blast). Another guy up there snapping pics said his car thermometer was -5 when he got out, the wind must have been 20-30mph I guess so at the conservative end that makes it ~ -13.

Boston Globe (http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/03/kyrgyzstan_and_manas_air_base.html) has some pics on Krygzstan kicking the US out of their airbase at Manas and and I thought these two are particularly cool (NB - Some pics of animal torture on the thread for those of a sensitive disposition)

you have to wonder how much cut newspaper is in the middle of his wad though.

probably none. Total value only about 3 quid
-
The 500 at the top is about 50p
(assuming it is in the congo, and their currency isn't going to rat shit again).

See if you can torrent a film called EAT THE PEACH which is the [fictional] tale of the last Wall-of-Death in Britain.
It's wicked.
Nice pic. Wall-of-Death bikes were always hardtails, usually very old Rudges and sometimes Nortons. I liked that.

There was one on one of the descent paths in Clova. Got considerably more minging over successive years, hopefully just bones by now.

I know someone who saw a sheep go suicide so promptly skinnned, gutted and roasted it :)

Boston Globe has some cool pics from the international Earth Hour (http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/03/earth_hour_2009.html) that seemed to pass without me noticing (go to the site and you get to see them fade into each other, ooooh, pretty).

AK47 - for when you absolutely, positively, need to kill every motherfucker in the room.
(plus some wierd shit)
-
Even better than Zena :thumbsup:
The whole point of an AK47 is the relationship between accuracy and frequency; the odder, the more dangerous.
-
nice alien barbed penis

Actually I find the AK47 to be weapon of choice on COD4. Surprisingly accurate and, especially if used with the stopping power upgrade, drops enemies like they're hot.

So what's a galaxy then? Surely it's just a collection of stars? And yes I do appreciate the pedantry (i.e. I was also missing an apostrophe, and probably a comma or two).

I saw a similar thing when we were in Portugal on a surfing holiday, a giant tanker got beached and people were bodyboarding in the breaks on the hull (it was later in the day, after the photos were taken, and the tide was further in), it looked very cool but also kind of dangerous. It was a really amazing thing to see though, the anchor was about 4 times the height of me and you could walk right round and touch the hull and propellers. Took them some effort to get it back out to sea again too.

“There is a feeling of losing a grip on things, an uncertainty about the morrow. It’s a feeling of hanging in the air, of having nothing firm under the feet. And even if the family is my priority and thus a key part of my performances, I wonder: How much are we able to put up with?”

It's not as annoying as Facebook but it has the potential to be.
-
I'd say its considerably more annoying. I've never seen a constructive comment, its just like a parade of sycophants, whereas all you get on crackbook is a couple of jibes from your mates.
-
its well annoying, nay nauseating, especially when its some HDR abomination.
-
Yeah, I avoid such groups like the plague and tend to delete comments that just post awards/pictures.
One of the things I really like about Flickr is how "clean" it is. White background, with pictures and text, thats all you need.
-
yeah, luckily I don't get invited to that many flickr awards - and I hate those post 1 comment on 10 pics groups (tho, I do add my pics into 1 - but only comment when I feel the need!)

Thought of this post when I installed this nice Flickr On Black (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/9523) Greasemonkey script.
Adds a handy "View on black" menu item down below the Exif data, etc.
Sometimes a black background just looks much better.

The clouds are awesome, shame they aren't in slightly more spectacular surroundings.
I tried to take some from the Midi station balcony of lightning on Mt Rosa for a few hours one night, but was underestimating time required, and all came out underexposed. Such were the joys of film photography.

Pulled over at the top of the Longshaw Estate where you can head down to Froggatt or over to Owler Bar on the way back from Buxton at two minutes to midnight last night and snapped some shots of the gorgeous setting sun (I'd meant to get out on the equinox to get some pictures but never made it, this has made up for it though :))...

Do you mean the solstice?
Sunset was great last might, its all about the cloud, they make or break it. I guess the moon had set by then but it was a cracker, very thin crescent low in the west.

Clouds are indeed where its at. I took this one earlier in the evening from Harpur Hill, but the moon was too far South to get in view (still saving for a wide angle lens!)

There is a website which does this for you from up to hundreedds of photos from different people with im afraid rather better results. It stitches them together and allows you to explore the environment created from different angles and different distances. The obama inauguration(sp?) ceremony is a good example.

I liked the fact that he'd bothered to go out to the same point at three different times in the year and done the manipulation (crop and aligning of horizon, trees and river) "by hand" himself.
I use Hugin (http://hugin.sourceforge.net) to generate my panoramas (http://www.flickr.com/photos/slackline/sets/72157600013425309/) with varying degrees of success.

I think hes alright and has jumped over the back. Can't see a track on the face of the wave though. I just can't see how he'd have got right up there on the take off.
-
Reckon he he has come in from the right and smacked the lip to get over the back and avoid the closeout.
I do it all the time. (in my dreams)
Hope that's a photographer in the front. Looks like someone with an inflatable beach toy.
-
Defo in from the right, you can see the foam track under the lip about to be inverted and spray from the turn that projected him up the lip still suspended in the air. Just shows how fast proper chunky barreling waves are.....

Not so much the quality of the photo but the quality :o of the implications. The strapline for the photo, again from the Big Picture, makes the image quite eerie!!!
In the lower center of this photograph, mounted on the blue platform, is the head of a silkmoth, including its brain and antennae, with electrodes linking the brain to the vehicle during an experiment at a laboratory in Tokyo on June 9, 2009. Japanese scientists at the Tokyo University's Research Centre for Advanced Science and Technology found that motor commands sent to the vehicle in response to odour stimuli could be translated into signals to steer the machine in real time, in an experiment toward creating insect-machine hybrids. Potential future scernarios might include law enforcement technicians releasing a swarm of robot-moths to sniff out a distant drug stash.

"A rare type of cloud known as a Morning Glory cloud can stretch 1,000 kilometers long and occur at altitudes up to two kilometers high. Although similar roll clouds have been seen at specific places across the world, the ones over Burketown, Queensland Australia occur predictably every spring. Long, horizontal, circulating tubes of air might form when flowing, moist, cooling air encounters an inversion layer, an atmospheric layer where air temperature atypically increases with height. These tubes and surrounding air could cause dangerous turbulence for airplanes when clear. Morning Glory clouds can reportedly achieve an airspeed of 60 kilometers per hour over a surface with little discernible wind. Pictured above, photographer Mick Petroff photographed some Morning Glory clouds from his airplane near the Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia."

The loss of human life is indeed tragic to those affected and their families, but humans are not the be all and end all of life on this planet, yet at the moment we're fucking it up pretty badly. (I'm not very anthropocentric in my world view I'm afraid Will).
-
The watercourse will recover from the spill in a number of years. When you take into account the number of people in families/husbands/wives/children who will be affected there will be thousands of years of combined suffering and sorrow.
Is that objective enough?

Sorry Will, I'm with Slackers on this one. I think human life is pretty damn sacred, but not the most sacred thing in the world. I think 40 tons of oil is gonna damage a river system irreversibly. THink about the number of people, and plants, and animals who rely on that water. Fishes will die, birds will die, animals which drink from the river will die, animals which rely on the fish in the river for food, will die. There will be a lot more death than 75 workers. Hundreds of animals, many of whom will be a major food source for the human population who live along the river. It's a fucking disaster, especially if it's in an area where there's not much importation of goods, and foods.
-
"Irreversibly" is a fairly commiting word to use. In a few decades at most I would think that the ecosystem would have recovered to much of what it once was. Especially considering the discharge a river like that will have. The pulse of shite should move through much faster than if this had happened on a smaller river. Nature is pretty good at dusting itself off in general. I've seen succession happen much faster in more hostile environments where succession has to start from pioneer so it should happen reasonably quickly in this place.
The ecosystem will suffer for sure. The main channel will be a write off for some time but tributaries to it should remain largely unaffected. In the grand scheme of things it will be put to rights.

Was in the US for 9/11 a year or so after it happened. Everyone left the office and went and stood in a hall, some people started crying and got all emotional as they said how they felt on the day. I found it all too weird as this was in Houston and none of them had any friends or relatives directly affected so quietly returned to my work.

Big Picture also have a best of the decade (http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/12/the_decade_in_news_photographs.html).
This is a 12 day :o exposure taken with Hubble...
This is called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. Starting in late 2003, astronomers pointed Hubble at a tiny, relatively empty part of our sky (only a few stars from the Milky Way visible), and created an exposure nearly 12 days long over a four-month period. The result is this amazing image, looking back through time at thousands of galaxies that range from 1 to 13 billion light-years away from Earth. Some 10,000 galaxies were observed in this tiny patch of sky (a tenth the size of the full moon) - each galaxy a home to billions of stars.

And you don't think a few of those pics are cool?

I always thought the Falkirk Wheel was just a big wheel, I might actually bother to go and have a look at it now I have been educated. :lol:

It's a marvel of modern engineering. You can even go for a ride on a barge and go up and down on it. Along with all the OAPs.
I personally wouldn't bother but it is definitely worth a look if you are passing and have a bit of time. Nice teashop too.

My Dad always moaned that I used to tidy all my lego away apart from one or two small pieces that got lost in the long pile carpet, ready to stick into his barefeet at any moment. That'll learn him.

Ps I did get taken to hospital when I was a kid when I fell off a chair and cracked my head open on a Lego brick so I sympathise with your dad.

Damn, I wish NASA would publish a shot of the UK like that every day (or hour), it fair knocks old Meteosat into a cocked hat.
Dunno what happened to your NASA link there, perhaps you should read the FAQ.

Damn crappy OS eh? Ah well, at least you didn't pay for it.
Having explored NASA a bit, it seems you can get a decent colour sat pic of the UK at least daily, bit of a faff to find mind (http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/realtime/2010106/).

Nothing to do with the OS, it was down to user error (I Ctrl+V instead of clicking with the third-mouse button as I thought the URL was stored in that buffer).

We need that quantified. Furthest away from the vessel? Furthest distance travelled (i.e. outside for a long time)?
He doesn't appear to be going to/coming back from anything in particular. Just going for a bit of a wander.
-
Furthest (http://tinyurl.com/2avpqt5), so that would be distance (which may correlate with time)
If you'd followed the back-linked picture to its Flickr page and you'll see its from the NASA Goddard Photo's and Video Flickr Stream (http://www.flickr.com/photos/gsfc/) the caption for the picture reads....
Mission Specialist Bruce McCandless II, is seen further away from the confines and safety of his ship than any previous astronaut has ever been. This space first was made possible by the Manned Manuevering Unit or MMU, a nitrogen jet propelled backpack. After a series of test maneuvers inside and above Challenger's payload bay, McCandless went "free-flying" to a distance of 320 feet away from the Orbiter. This stunning orbital panorama view shows McCandless out there amongst the black and blue of Earth and space. (02/12/1984)
So a bit dated, but can't find anything else that mentions it (or newer records surpassing it) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spaceflight_records) and trust the source to be fairly reputable.
-
Alright sarky! ;) I know what furthest means, but I wasn't sure whether it meant furthest from the space ship, or furthest distance travelled (i.e. out of the ship for hours and having gone around the world twice).
But yes, I could very easily have clicked the link (didn't notice it) :P
It must be a fucking odd feeling, being so far from Earth, floating around, all alone. Makes my tummy feel funny.
-
Sorry for being pedantic :hug:
I usually try and link pics back to their source (because of my pedantry).
As much as I'd love to go into space I don't think I'd like to go outside the vehicle, just in case I ran out of Nitrogen.

I was thinking that, but I'm sure you could speed up/slow down the shuttle a little, and you'd soon end up back where you wanted to be. I'd probably end up with a big brown stain inside the suit though ::)

I like the way it looks like he starts it as a swan dive then bottles and goes in feet first. By the size and direction of that splash I don't recon he quite got it right and had a pretty rough landing!

Load of rubbish. Looks like a bunch of random storm photos cobbled together under the 'Katrina' label to give them some human element. A hurricane wouldn't have a defined edge like that, its too big. The last picture is too shit to see what's going on, but the suggestion that there was a single giant wave is nonsense. You don't get 'tidal waves' from hurricanes, its a shit term but they are implying a tsunami, you get storm surges - just as damaging but no one wave that does the damage, rather an extremely high tide coupled with big seas.
Love the tiger shot. Few photos are as well suited to viewing on a scrolling browser.
-
Word - I don't think any of those storm shots are from Katrina, they just look like standard US Oklahoma-area storm shots.
(Good photos by the way, just not of what they say they are).
Tiger shot is awesome - though it's surprisingly easy to ride a bike on a tight-wire with the extra weight hanging below you...

The guy who runs the website looks like a nutjob - take a look at the front page.
There are some great Tornado pics there which I will dutifully crib for a lecture.. the storm surge one IS of a storm surge but I dont think its Katrina.. I use this pic already in a lecture and am pretty happy with the source that its genuine (though I dont remember it off hand).. The description of it is of course bollocks (its not that large) but it is a large wave coming over a breakwater associated with a surge... unusual and quite dramatic...

Gruff's portrait of Joe Brown in the advertisment in the latest Climb mag is just superb. Nice one mate. Can't link it, but worth a look.
I think that could be Climber (http://www.climber.co.uk/) as oppossed to Climb (http://www.climbmagazine.com/current-issue.aspx) (at least according to the front pages of both at present)?
I think you are right. The shiny new relaunched one anyway.

Africa may well be big...
The picture is bloody huge on my monitor at work - suspect it might be on a 1:1 scale. ;)
-
Is it!!??
Yep, honest 'guv.
Which is why I don't understand what this is really getting at. Its saying "US school kids think the US is the largest in the world, but they don't know that the continent of Africa is HUGE!" big fucking deal.
Why the need to throw that into the blurb on the image I've no idea. Yes Mercator projections do distort things, and this highlights that.
-
Are they suggesting that a child not knowing the area of Africa is as bad a problem or worse than being illiterate/innumerate?
Fucking geographers. I bet one of them spent all week colouring that in. They didn't even keep in the lines :whistle:

Not just Mercator. Every projection distorts things in some way. This is often used strategically, i.e. national mapping bodies choosing a standard projection system based on how big it makes their country look. Its something that few people are aware of but everybody should be. I remember being quite shocked when I found out. As an example, the landmass of Greenland is less than half that of China and less than one eighth that of south america, but when looking at a globe created using the mercator projection Greenland appears bigger than both of them. It might only be an issue of graphical representation, but when you're faced with maps which exaggerate the size of your country for your whole life it can tend to colour your world view. The Peters map projection is area-accurate and was developed as a reaction to the size distortions inherent in the mercator projection (which tends to exaggerate land area in the northern hemisphere). Worth seeing if you haven't seen/been aware of the difference before

If anyone is interested in this stuff, Mark Monmonier's Lying With Maps (http://projecteuclid.org/DPubS?service=UI&version=1.0&verb=Display&handle=euclid.ss/1124891287) is very good.
-
In fairness, any 2-D representation, of the surface of a 3-D object, is never going to be particularly accurate.
-
True. But the point is that its possible for cartographers to manipulate the inaccuracy to create a map which supports a particular viewpoint they may hold.

"In 1924 a group of young Army officers were surveying an inaccessible part of Africa's Gold Coast. At the end of a hard day's work under the tropical sun, a single hill remained. The men decided that, using a little imagination, the small area could be artificially filled in. They drew around a picture in a magazine, creating contours in the form of an elephant. Their improvisation was not detected and the elephant can be seen at least into the 1960"

Using SCIENCE.. I wonder if that may be left from coastal erosion that has left the tree 'in situ' as it were... looking at the background the hillock seems very erodible (slopes at angle of repose) so rather than being washed up it could have just been left and weathered..
I would have thought a big ol lump of wood like that could survive without rotting for a good few years.

Funny duck.

Nice pics slackers. e went on a boat trip round the summer isles, and I discovered taking seal pics with a 400mm lens in a rocking boat is a bit tricky.
-
Cheers, should probably have stuck them in the Wildlife thread really.
Was quite calm around the Farne Islands as they're pretty sheltered, could really do with a bit more focal length as the longest zoom I had was 300mm. Opted to shoot on shutter priority to counter movement.
-
Post them there as well?
Did you see any boobies?

Yes, but Mrs slackers wouldn't let me get the camera out.

Great photos! What size lense were you using Slack---Line?
-
Not mine I'm afraid, caption on the Guardian site says it was taken by a 13yr old boy who used his tripod to lift his camera into the trees and the birds edged closer just as the timer went off. 8)

Aren't the pictures on Farne island yours?

:oops: yes they're mine, thanks ( handset realised which pics you were referring to, sorry).

And the answer to his question is?
Not sure if this should go in the iPlayer thread, but watched it last night, and the photos this guy takes are brilliant, especially going up onto the unpronounceable volcano when it was erupting.

And the answer to his question is?
Was being lazy as I was on my phone and couldn't be arsed typing fiddly shit.
Most of the key info on the lens' is all stored in the Exif data that is viewable by clicking on the "D90" link on the pictures Flickr page, but I was using two lenses, a Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G VR and a 70-300mm f/4-5.6.

Well it's springtime in the garden here and the mrs sent me out to capture a few highlights, particularly as her orchids are putting on a speccie show this year so I'm going to stick them on here as I think they're OK for 15 minutes work with a borrowed camera.

Give it time Ken.

at this rate I'll be in a wheelchair in no time (was actually in one on sunday being moved from the ambulance to a&e)
I'm only 33 for gods sake!!!!
-
What you done this time Jim?
-
back spasm, couldn't get off the floor, had to be pumped full of morphine. was quite good actually (the morphine that is)
-
Not good! Mine did that a fair bit after I fucked it skiing, but luckily not as severe. I daren't ask what you were doing that caused it. Hope it sorts itself out, I recommend Yoga. If that's not what caused it in the first place.
-
I've had that a few times, usually precipitated by landing a bit hard. Though once was lifting a pan out of the cupboard. Pretty grim for the first couple of days.
-
Apologies for the digression, but has anyone ever developed sciatica from too many hard landings? A friend of mine got it and he was convinced it was from going off jumps on a dry slope. After my ski accident they gave me an MRI scan and said I had a compressed vertebra in my lower back, but it looked like an old injury, and said it was probably caused by a high impact landing at some point in the past.
-
just muscle spasm in lumber for me, all checked over by the doc in A & E, given loads of drugs and sent home, no long term problems hopefully as only muscle damage.
Tremadol certainly helps me get about a bit more
-
I get sciatica occasionally. I hadn't linked it to hard landings before, but does seem to be linked to the back spasms so I guess so.

Colorful star trails arc across the night in this surreal timelapse skyscape from the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on the Canary island of La Palma. A reflection of the Earth's daily rotation on its axis, the star trails are also reflected in one of a pair of 17 meter diameter, multi-mirrored MAGIC telescopes. The MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov) telescope itself is intended to detect gamma rays - photons with over 100 billion times the energy of visible light. As the high energy gamma rays impact the upper atmosphere they produce air showers of high-energy particles. A fast camera monitoring the multi-mirrored surface records in detail brief flashes of optical light, called Cherenkov light, created by the air shower particles Astronomers can then ultimately relate the optical flashes to cosmic sources of extreme gamma-rays.

This little orange seal has been ostracized by his fellows for being ginger. Also, unfortunately, he is almost blind.
He was found waiting for his mother under a log on Tyuleniy Island in Russia. He was picked up and taken by staff at a dolphinarium to keep him from anymore emotional stress.
Good news though, the seal is doing much better. Now named Nafanya - after a lookalike Soviet cartoon character - the seal was given VIP treatment and has now moved into a plush new home at the country's leading aquarium.

Last Thursday after having gotten up at 00:30, left camp at 01:30 crossed a horrendous boulder field glacier in the dark by head torch, and ascended a total of 1100m in five and a half hours I stood on top of Pisco (5752m). The views at sunrise and from the summit were just about worth it, but I don't think I'm really a mountaineer (going to have another go in a few days with the lower Urus East peak though). These are from my phone, more (and better) shots from the Canon S95 when I return (which has performed brilliantly in the cold and can be used wearing mittens too)...

This was from the descent half way bak across the crappy boulder ridden glaciar, the line we took followed the ridge on the other side of the mountain (where it was a lot flatter, mostly just walking, but a few steep sections which required front-pointing and axes)...

Great Stuff.
Those Otto Placht pics look like they should be viewed with 3D glasses.
-
Yeah, they're pretty crazy!
-
That dog is ace!
-
Top pics Slackers, love the smallholding beneath Jirishanca. (check my recently acquired knowledge of S American mountains - thanks echoes)
-
Cheers andi_e & Duma.
Haven't started reading Echoes yet and I've no capacity for holding such details of the peaks in my head and had to use a map! That was the only 'garden' we saw around all the high altitude huts/houses.
-
Great pics Slackers, you wouldn't think they were taken with a point and shoot, great sharpness and colours, also as Andy pointed out that dog is ace.
-
Cheers.
Taken with a Canon S95 which is really very good (someone told me its the same sensor as int eh G10 or G12 and generally the same camera just lacking a few features). Small, fits in the pocket nicely and can be operated with mittens on.
Strong sunlight == fast shutter to help counter my unsteady hand. :-[

Taken on my iphone and instagrammed (apologies) whilst on a recent family holiday to the Lake District but am quite pleased with how these came out...
Please be gentle as I haven't got a clue what I'm doing when it comes to photography!

Just as a matter of interest I thought I'd upload the un-instagrammed versions for comparison and to see if anyone would care to offer advice/comment?

Prefer unInstagrammed versions, but then I have an intenes dislike for Instagram. All fairly well exposed and composed with nice low light, but
1) Lacks any real subject; would probably benefit from less (dead) foreground and more sky maybe
2) Nice idea, but exposure a bit under maybe; hard to get right with tricky lighting. Again, might have benefitted from less foreground, and maybe shot in portrait layout to make most of fence as lead in?
3) nice colours and bit of a composition, but might have done with a bit of cropping.
Don't be shy to try taking a few photos of the same subject and see which ones you prefer. Taking a few photos costs nothing!

Interesting to see how much of the coastal areas of northern Scotland escaped the snow. The effect of the sea I guess.
-
Yup. And lack of altitude to a lesser effect even a but of 30 m or so sea cliff seems to have a block the effect of the sea; we live 200 m for the seabed the crow flies and always have more on the ground than in city centre. But we often get a lot less than even 10 miles inland and a lot less than you guys in the peak

maybe this should be in the street art thread but the quality of some of the pieces certainly deserve a place here

HUUUUUGGGEEE panorama of London shot from BT Tower, something like 320Gigapixels (from some 48000 individual shots!) (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tech/news/a460476/bt-creates-record-london-panorama-that-is-size-of-buckingham-palace.html)
It won't unfortunately embed in the forum so you'll have to go here (http://btlondon2012.co.uk/pano.html) to have a look around.

Aye - that's brilliant Andy.
Is there any further detail as to how to "scale in the approved fashion"?
I assume by this they mean humping out some scrittley sloping topouts?

Room 101 - and we're living in it:
I cannot state strongly enough how much I hate advertising. Like Western foreign policy, copyright everything, multinationals, neoliberalism, privatisation, big banking and many other part of our masturbatory elitist-run anti-democratic system, the world would just be a better place without it.
-
Yup. Consider how much money gets squandered on advertising the world over, and how little impact most of it actually has on us. That money could so esily be spent on better things. Should advertising get taxed to fuck to cut it right back?

"In the U.S. Photoshop has become a symbol of our society's unobtainable standards for beauty. My project, Before & After, examines how these standards vary across cultures on a global level.
Freelancing platforms, like Fiverr, have allowed me to contract nearly 40 individuals, from more than 25 countries such as Sri Lanka, Ukraine, The Philippines, and Kenya. Some are experts in their field, others are purely amateur.
With a cost ranging from five to thirty dollars, and the hope that each designer will pull from their personal and cultural constructs of beauty to enhance my unaltered image, all I request is that they ‘make me beautiful’."

I went to the exhibit in the museum and agree there are some brilliant photos. I was a bit disappointed by the winner this year though. Not that i think its a bad photo, it just seems very predictable and I didn't find it inspiring or moving. But then I don't know much about photography so maybe it is a stunner. Here it is:

Agree, the winning photo was a bit odd I didn't like it at all.
I guess they chose it on technical grounds or something.

Found this cool pic of my parent's house, at the beginning of '900. It still shows the old gate that was in front of my bedroom, that - at the time - was a wine tavern. People would eat and drink on the windowsill, helped by a small step. On the wall on both sides of the window, there are still - barely visible - some pencil written bills from 1919!
