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!

Lovely Steve. You used a D800 - did you get rid of the M-Monochrom?

Not an especially good photo, but it is of Nice, and as there isn't a TdF thread anywhere else (surprisingly), they cycled quite quickly past our offices today.

(Spot the product placement. Red-white-blue as opposed to blue-white-red was an accident of traffic rules, misheard directions, opposing views of helicopter views, and deliberate bloody-mindedness.)

Thanks Kevin. No, I still have the Monochrom. I bought the D800 before the Monochrom, and use both regularly. I also had a Fuji X100 which I have just replaced with a Sony RX100 because I needed a pocket-sized compact.

I'm not able to discern the logo on the vans. What product placement is it?

What is Nice really like? The couple of times I've passed through it strikes me as a hot, car-congested-gridlocked, overcrowded hell-hole. I guess I have it badly wrong, though.

Nice way to spend an afternoon at 1500 meters...

My company is Vins Sans Frontières or just VSF (www.vsfgroup.com).

I think you have Nice all wrong, it's a great place to be. The traffic is not as you describe, and in population terms it's France's fifth biggest city with 350k people over a large area. Not spectacularly populous. So, I guess it depends how you define "overcrowded" and "hellhole". I find it neither, but everyone's entitled to their opinion.

From my own experience it's rather nice! But that's as a visitor having spent many Summers in St Clair/Le Lavandou, not a resident.

I must have caught it on a bad day (twice). I have no plans to return, but you never know.
