ahh - the beauties of F2.8, getting one in focus was a nightmare, and with tht shallow DOF, the rest were dead blurry.
I like to think if gives it a 3D feel :-)
think I'll stick to landscapes - they stick still!

Cheers Keith, it's the only big building in halifax - the rest is just depressingly dull generally. this is probably the most imposing angle you'd see it from - it's a huge triangle shape - but I'm in the building behind which is on the site of an old brewery!!! Sacrilige in my book - knocking a beer making establishment down for a bank!!

there was qwuite a lot of darkenss in it Steve - I exposed to keep the sky from burning out (pointed the camera at the blue bit and did a manual reading so the pointer went to +1).
Then framed the shot and hoped for the best.
the blue remained and the LHS was bright.
Had to dodge out the stones at the bottom and some detail at the RHS.
all courtosy of RAW :-)

how do you nominate a BIP??
Seriously - this is BIP material Chris.
got a superb vanishing point with everything leading to it, great tones and a lovely sky, extremely crisp in the foreground etc.

Alastair was at home that day - no chance of finding one :-)
had no time to myself on weekends at the mo - this ones a stag weekend as well!!!!
will have to get together soon and get some frosty shots. If I'm not completely wiped out then we should meet up on Sunday - there's a 70/30 chance against though!!!!
Oh - Damian's got his "dream kit". 5D, 24-79 F2.8 etc.
not jealous at all

I do get jealous of your proximity to the coast sometimes Chris!!!
its over an hour either way for me, and 2 to a decent cliff!!!
if you ever read a book on composition and leading lines, you'll see a shot just like this!
it's all geared up to take your eyes oin a journety from the foreground path ending up at the top left where the pier is pointing.
Decent light too.
I'd be back there at sunset and for an hour after watching the sky change from yellow, through reds to purple - can't go wrong! Unless ou forget your tripod of course!

geology gone mad Ann!!
amazing how these lone plinths are still standing - guess in a million years they'll have eroded away like the rest of th valley.
I quite like the SUV in the middle, does give scale as you say. Never realised quite how big they were.... should have guessed they'd be HUGE!
pretty decent all over focus - I had thye 18-55 and you've got to shut it right down to get things crisp - but it will do it :-)

there's more to the valley that Half Dome and El Capitain :-)
the whole place has an other-worldly feel to it, priobably the white and greys of the granite. You've got that shown really well at the top of the shot - the strange texture of the stone comes through really well.
Also the miniscule trees.... well so they look! Amazing to think that those match sticks are hige trees in reality!
the stream tops it off with a bit of life ande movement.
Class stuff

you are the Colour King, but nice to see you trying other things - keeps it interesting :-)
not sure which of the 2 web shots I prefer, in a way the darker backgorund of the other makes the web stand out more, but the nice variation in tones on this also makes for an interesting shot.
frame's spor on for this shot too.

they bring out the colour in the wine.....?
We drew - good job cause the top order were skittled out.
Really have to beat them in the next one - go for broke and kick their asses.
Shaid Afridi's been cheating - digging up the crease for his spinners!! Dirty as ever

I'm Dad 30 years ago according to people back home!!!
So I'll have bad knees, dicky tummy, white beard and a bald head!!!
I made a Bhuna but put a tad too much Chilli in for them!!! I was crying when I was frying it, so should really have fished a few out :-)
Funny watching them sweat though - and the Rioja didn't help cool it.
Could knock up a bit of the old Curry for next time - there's a travel lodge at the end of my street, so curry at mine and no hassles about driving afterwards!

I'd done this with the usual white frame and it was pretty nice - but it made the sunset seem warmer and "nice".
It was bloody freezing (ask my mum about her feet!!!) so tried to chage the feel with a different frame - really made a difference in the end.
that kinda bush ends up stuck to my cats all the time!
