Nice Photos.

Posted by: u5227470736789439 on 27 February 2008

Most of us have taken one or two nice photos.

Here is my candidate as being almost quite good. In fact it is two painstakingly joined.

Taken up in the mountain at Skurdalsvatn in 2000.

Though this one takien in Warsaw in November 2006 is not bad:

I know there are several good photgraphers here, and it would be nice to see some of you best efforts if you feel inclined to share!

Paul, it's a pic of a pic of a chimp with a Canon DSLR (a poster ad IIRC), at London Zoo. I thought it would make an intriguingly odd photo...

Ok. That was one option, the other was that you had photoshopped the details ( sacrilege, I know)

Keep up the good work

Kevin W, Thank you. They were taken Just along the beach where I live in the Philippines. Seeing the friendly happy smiling children makes my day.

Excellent. Perfectly illustrates the point that it is the photographer not the camera.

Cheers chaps.

Kevin, do you live at the zoo?!

I'd be tempted to get the skateboard out...

I like the one where the Tiger has eaten the footballer

Hi Sniper,

Love the first of the photos of the kids on the beach. There's a tool in photoshop lightroom, which would effectively increase the exposure of the children, brightening them up, while leaving the background at the brightness it is... would take a couple of minutes.

Happy to have a go for you...

The view from my window this morning after the sun came up

Stunning David,

I hope you don't mind but I just had a play with this in Photoshop, and ended up with a 'panoramic'/letterbox style crop to just above the hill on the left. The sky doesn't add so much, and the colour symmetry you end up with is pretty engaging!

Phil, no problem, i tried the same, you're fight it does look better cropped.

Jamie,

It is looking towards the English Channel on the south side of the South Downs, across the field outside our house. I have to admit I did enhance the colour a little bit.
