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!

I think it works precisely for that reason. The symmetry of the composition and separation from the background creates a kind of "tunnel" effect, funnelling the subject's gaze, making it more intense.

I think it is beautiful, and the bokeh is awesome.

Just looked at this again. Utterly gorgeous.

Yep, it's a beaut - a lot of it due to the 50 'Lux lens.

Nice looking bike, what was the colour scheme Kevin?

Some thing of a hybrid, a Series 2 Li , with series 3 headset ( and probably forks). Not pedantry ,but it is nerdantry.

For pendants it's a bike and it has a motor, this version of a motor bike being called a scooter due to the step through frame.
