Unusual Sailing Boat. The Nordlaendinger.

by davidjohn @ Sunday, Jun. 29, 2008 - 15:35:28

If, as I suppose, this small boat crossed the North Sea from Sweden to the Moray Firth [then Beauly Firth entering the Caledonian Canal and into Muirtown Marina] I consider the crew to be very brave.

by 359Rabbit @ Saturday, Jun. 28, 2008 - 07:07:41

Scottish Wild cat

Scottish Wild Cat: I just love this picture, the composition focus are good but I like to think I have captured the very essence of this cat, its viciousness and ferocity are there for all to see its face.

My Favourite - Number 2

Lake Windermere - Misty Morning

Lake Windermere – Misty Morning: Ths was taken early on a crisp autumn morning in October, I love the soft tones and the peace and quiet the picture instils, this is my number 2 and whats exciting for me, is that its actually been published in a book.

My Favourite - Number 3

by 359Rabbit @ Saturday, Jun. 28, 2008 - 06:58:32

Tiger

Joe posted his best pictures and then asked us to post ours, well for me it was a difficult choice but here we go.

Tiger – Number 3 in my list, I have loads of pictures of tigers some probably better than this, but I like the composition on this one, for me it also captures the power, efficiency and effectiveness of this magnificent animal.

Round Britain Power Boat Race 2008.

by davidjohn @ Friday, Jun. 27, 2008 - 21:50:17

Despite reaching Kessock Bridge at 8 30am this morning, I missed the restart of the race. Nevertheless this graphic image of a 'record holder' taken the night before is more than I would have seen as the boats left Inverness on the outgoing current rather than under power. Apparently, because of the boats being a threat to native dolphins, full power was not allowed until they were 12 miles out!

This is not a new type of duck or unusual markings on this young female mallard, this is an elastic band stuck round her head, I wasn’t able to get hold of the duck, although I didn’t think I would have it I could. But I did contact the local RSPB member and he got the RSPA involved but we still could get hold of her. Fortunately the band came off as she was grooming herself so all was ok, but it does goes to show the dangers wildlife faces when we discard rubbish the way we do.

Beginners Guide to HDR - High Dynamic Range photography

by netbizguru @ Saturday, Jun. 21, 2008 - 15:29:39

I have just come across an excellent tutorial on how to make great-looking HDR (High Dynamic Range photography) images from your photographs and just had to share it with you straight away.

The tutorial is called 'Beginners Guide to HDR' and it shows you how to make HDR images from your photos using a piece of software called 'PhotoMatix'.

Now that I have read this fantastic tutorial and downloaded the 'PhotoMatix' software - which can be downloaded as a fully-functional trial version - I'm just waiting for the optimal moment to take some shots that I think will look great when I apply what I've just learnt to them.

If all goes well, I'll be uploading the HDR photographic images that I make, here for you all to see. And if you follow the tutorial, download the software and make your own HDR images, I'd like to see you post them here too.

Till later, my fellow shutterbugs...

This isn't a particularly high quality picture: I was shooting straight into mixed light and dark areas, the lamp-post is in the shot, and because I was in a hurry I didn't have the chance to resize it, so I had to crop this bit that I wanted out of a larger picture. But still, I think it evokes the moment I saw from my balcony rather well.

Cadzow Castle, Hamilton, Scotland.

by joebangles @ Sunday, Jun. 15, 2008 - 14:16:26

Cadzow Castle is a ruined castle, constructed between 1500 and 1550 on the site of an earlier royal castle, 1 mile south-east of the centre of Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. The town of Hamilton was formerly known as Cadzow, until renamed in 1455 in honour of James Hamilton, 1st Lord Hamilton.

It sits above a gorge overlooking the Avon Water in what is now Chatelherault Country Park, but was previously the hunting and pleasure grounds of the Duke of Hamilton's estate of Hamilton Palace.

How to make celebrity photos more interesting

by netbizguru @ Saturday, Jun. 14, 2008 - 15:02:47

You know what it's like... you're attending a local charity event somewhere, when across the room you spot a celebrity - like Noel Edmunds, perhaps - and you'd really like to have your photo taken with him.

Trouble is, the kind of staged and uninteresting pose that normally results, leave your photos looking quite bland.

This guy has the right idea on how to liven up the rather stilted compositions that often result. He gets the celebrity to stage a fist fight with him - awesome.

My new summer project

by netbizguru @ Saturday, Jun. 07, 2008 - 11:57:39

Below is a photo of the brick stucture at the bottom of my garden that I will be transforming into a photographic studio over the summer. It's quite a large project, but once finished, it will provide me with a studio/workshop where I'll be able to continue with my model and product photography business working from home. Currently, I either work on-site ot have to hire studio space.

a comic strip!

Over the summer, I will be replacing the window and door that you can see above, adding 4 foot to the left side of the building and 6 foot to the back and then replacing the roof. This will give me a total working area of 20 x 16 foot, which isn't very large, but is adequate to my needs for now.

Once all of the structual work is completed, I will be kitting out the interior with all of the latest gear, including lighting, back-drops, cameras and a computer editing work-station.

I hope and I pray, though, that this summer is a good one that allows me to get the job done in the time-frame I have set myself... Wish me luck!!!

New life-Old tree.

by joebangles @ Thursday, Jun. 05, 2008 - 20:48:26

This was new to me. I e-mailed this pic direct from "My Pictures" to Photobucket without loging in to the site, ( I am a member) it only takes a second and cuts out that loging in and waiting time when uploading.

Photobucket

I don't know why the new growth had started as no pruning had been carried out on the tree and there does not appear to be any damage to the top.

Entry point ?

by davidjohn @ Thursday, Jun. 05, 2008 - 00:08:31

Yes boats leaving the Beauly Firth and entering the Caledonian Canal pass this point and subsequently travel the length of Loch Ness.

Free Image Hosting - With A Twist

by netbizguru @ Wednesday, Jun. 04, 2008 - 20:08:26

If you need FREE and unlimited hosting and web space for your photos, then here are a couple of image hosting sites - with a twist - that you might want to check out. Click on the links below:

ibanter Photo Pimp

ibanter Comic Creator

What's different about the two sites above, is not only can you upload, store and share all of your photos, but you can also add some very nice filter effects to them with just a few clicks of your mouse. You can also add some fun photo elements to them too, if you wish, which is a nice touch.

Once your photos have been uploaded and saved, you can then easily add them to your blogs and websites using the code that they provide.

Here's one I made earlier using the ibanter Comic Creator website:

Pretty cool, eh!!!

View Towards Gloucester

by paparazzistyle @ Monday, Jun. 02, 2008 - 21:46:27

I took this pic a while ago but have only just finished retouching all of the power cables out,
it was a mammoth task.
As you can see the shot is lit from behind and most of the colours were weak as a result so I decided to shoot it using the "wrong" colour balance (tungsten) to give it a stronger graphic appeal and enhance the tonal perspective.

gloucestercath4blog

The shot was taken from about 2 miles away with a very long lens which compressed the perspective.

The Falkirk Wheel.

by joebangles @ Sunday, Jun. 01, 2008 - 19:30:00

The Worlds first and only "Rotating boat lift" on the Clyde and Forth canal at Falkirk, Scotland.

This engineering feat, 115 feet high, transfers boats between the differing heights of the Forth and Clyde and Union canals.

Falkirk Wheel.

detail Falkirk Wheel.

Words below and photographs from, http://www.bennettmg.co.uk/Project_MS_Falkirk_Boatlift_1.aspx

British Waterways ‘Millennium Link’ canal project is the largest UK canal restoration ever. It reconnects the Forth & Clyde and Union Canals allowing unhindered passage of traffic between Glasgow and Edinburgh.

The centrepiece to this project is the Falkirk Wheel - the world’s first rotating boatlift. The 35m high, 1500 tonne machine transports canal barges and other boats between the Forth & Clyde and the Union Canal, a vertical drop of 18 metres. Before the closure of the canals in the mid 20th century this transfer was achieved by a flight of eleven locks.

First structure of its kind in the world.
Design life of at least 120 years.
35 metres high.
35 metres wide.
30 metres long.
Each gondola contains at least 250,000 litres of water.
Capable of carrying eight boats at a time.
A single trip takes 15 minutes.
