A couple of very randon ones taken whilst trying to explore the shutter delay settings on the new camera

[Yellow_or_black?]

Wow! They might have been taken on a cheap camera, but they're stunning Y_O_B! You have an eye for a good picture, that's for sure. The market with all the colours is particularly good IMO.

Gosh - that means an awful lot, when this thread is packed with technically and aesthetically breathtaking photos - including yours. Thank you

Mandarin - that second shot would make a fantastic screensaver...

YoB

3rd shot is fantastic candid shot
the colours are great

could quite easly make an entry into lonely planet .

great shot .

It's not always about the camera you use or the stock
just the moment

the girl in frame is so pretty yet
she looks so lost
even thou she is ment to be there

you got an eye

and that you can't learn

[Richy]

And I'm in total agreement with you, mandarin. Best pic on this thread, IMHO.

Thanks fellas, its a new style im trying - got a few more that i'll post up later

[Richy]

Have to agree with BVS, very nice pics YOB - also i agree with LPS, the MK1 for me everytime but the mexico is stunning PS. LPS i bought one [mk2] she's in a right sorry state at the moment, needs about 30hrs welding and an engine It's still in the barn of the guy i bought it off - so no pics as yet [pathetic really as i've only owned it 2months already - need to pull my finger out]

[Richy]

Same technique as the solberg picture [shoot in shadows - have gimp mate holding two lots of fill in flash]

Tommy Searle last year.

Wow, I'm speechless Compliments from Scoobs and Richy too - that means an awful lot, thanks guys Although they're tat compared to the masterpeices you guys produce, but thank you for making me grin and feel all warm and fluffy

I'll post some more when I finally work out how to get them off my Mac.

In the meantime, here are some taken by an ex who really has an eye - I adore them all (he also took the photo which is my avatar). They look better in real-life - I have some of them framed. Sorry if too many - couldn't decide:

The first and the last are great, the others give the feeling he was fishing for big inspiration but caught a couple of tiddlers

[Yellow_or_black?]

The first is my favourite too. I think you are probably correct - it was when he first started out, and was perhaps trying too hard - but still admirable shots

I know how he must of felt when it comes to trying too hard, i have a 'advertisement' project that needs to be finished by next friday and i've come up with nothing so far

Looks like it's a saturday night in searching the net for inspiration [Ohh joy] - Hoping the booze will see me through.

[Yellow_or_black?]

Post an RFA up - you know how we all love to post but not answer the question I'm sure we can all contribute some drunken tattage

An old one of Chatsworth house taken a while back. Couldn't find anything more random in my photobucket album!

Cheers Nathan.

[Yellow_or_black?]

Cool photo - and seriously random! Like a spaceship has just flown in shot at the last second...

Just loaded Picasa, and found these:

My old commute to work:


The clouds setting in from behind (best get a move on!)


A stroll after work:


And again:


Must admit I really miss the place (everyone called it 'the graveyard shift )


Admittadly did move to a penthouse in Plymouth on the next assignment with pretty good views, so not so bad:


Moved on again now tho and these days the best views I seem to get are of endless motorways

A few of some wild life taken from inside and ouside the VX.









And the motor!

Just a nice snowy scene from the weekend. I the cloud reflection in the ultra still water.

Will do when i get it down here, i have to get rid of the other rally slag first.

Its a white rusty cream, engine-less RS BTW.

Looks like Mandrinvx has worked out how to use his camera then

They were taken about 3 years ago on my 3mp coolpix

Hoping to pop along to the Abingdon trackday on Friday if they allow spectators (and its not peeing it down!) should give me a good chance to have a play with the 200mm lens, I take it I need a relatively fast shutter speed for racing, anything else I need to know?
