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!

Fabio, try writing your piece first and then adding the picture link last.

 

I also this place is more stable when using Chrome or Firefox rather than IE.

 

Hope this helps you.

Its moments like this when I realize I lack a certain maturity. I think the shark is soooo cool.

Yes, perhaps the coolest thing I've seen in ages. And the faux terror on Jamie's daughter's face is priceless.

It is very cool. My son's (a-hem) best Christmas present...Inflated with helium and operated by remote control so you can fly it around the house with a swish of its tail and moving a belly weight to adjust attitude and send it nose up or down. Actually very manouverable. Brilliant!

Hi Jamie

 

In your Flickr stream, go to the photo you want to post. Open up the "share" menu. Go to the "Grab the HTML/BBCode" sub menu. Click HTML, click "medium 640". Copy the code in the box.

 

Then, in the Naim forum, post a reply as normal. Select "HTML" on the far right, then paste in the code, like this:

 

Polly and Alfie [Black and White)

 

Should work. Simples!

That's the spirit!

 

Nice turntable - I'm not familiar with the make (T&A?). Love the 1970s-style tuner too. There are some great pix of 70s hifi - check out a guy called OldSansui on Flickr, he has some lovely specimens.

 

PS - just made you a contact on Flickr....

Ta, not just 1970's style though, a '1970's real' Yamaha CT-1010

 

T+A are a German firm more well known on the continent.


This is a G10S, an 'all in one' solution with phono stage, SME arm and Benz cartridge.

 

As for Flikr, just had a look at your page...An M9! A bl**dy M9, not dicking about then...

I bought the M9  with some money my dad left me when he passed on last year. Just gotta develop some photographic skills now!!!

Well if you're going to learn on something, pick a Leica! Sorry about your father.

Kevin, nice choice of memorial for your father. I have my late father's '50s jazz records to remember him by.

I will sort out some pics soon from my Lumix G3.

Cheers Jono, he always knew I loved taking pictures (he bought me a 110 Kodak Instamatic when I passed my 11-plus ) so hopefully he would have approved - look forward to seeing your pics. Nice camera, the Panny.

Thanks Jamie. I've always lusted after a Leica M9 (especially after trying an M6 a few years back). I had a D7000 for a bit, but all those auto functions actually made taking pictures rather difficult. But as the M9 is completely manual, it frees you up, paradoxically enough. And it is a real joy to use - it makes shooting fun.

I've been scanning this thread from the first page onward this week.  I just want to say what really nice photos you guys (and gals) have posted.  Really a treat to look at them, everyone. Thanks.
