A Picture a day (My 365) . . . Made it to the End!

17th August: More graffiti from Fratton Park.

Love all the graffiti here, obviously wouldn't want it near my house, but in the context of a football ground it looks great. This weekend saw the start of the Premier League season in England. For the record Portsmouth lost 0-1 to Fulham here on Saturday.

18th August: Porchester jetty

Got as close as I could get without getting a stinky muddy foot (the smell of rotting seaweed was particularly strong, yuk!).

Thanks, been wanting to take this shot for a long time, but needed my 100-400 zoom to get it ;)
 
I could have got closer, but did not want to get my seats wet when returning to my new car :)
 
20th August: Southampton Old Cemetery

Just a grab shot with the old 350D and cheapo nifty fifty. Had a quick stroll around Southampton Common before the start of an evening meeting. Ended up in the cemetery and the long grass dotted with various tombstones and crosses really caught my eye. Had to go against the rules and shoot into the sun for this, but really like the effect.

Love the colours in this shot and the fact you had a blue sky really helps :thumbs:

Fantastic image Julian. I love the way the DOF is used along with the composition to lead the eye all the way down the wall into the BR corner of the image.

Even if this was a crap image you'd get a :thumbs: for the B&W conversion, but its a cracking image to boot, so you get two :thumbs: :thumbs: ;)

Wow, thanks for all those comments Chris, very kind. Now worries about keeping up, I know what it's like. Really appreciate your comments when you can make them :)
 
21st August: Another shot from Port Solent, Portsmouth

After working for some time on various changes in PS the damn thing crashed, so had to start all over again, Grrrrrrrr!

Thanks mate, took me about the same with this one, totally stuffed up the editing 2nd time around as I was so angry (but you can only see it on the full size image)
 
Thanks Lisa, yeah angles are funny, bit of a marmite thing. I like to look for angles in landscape shots as, well just to be a bit different, sometimes it looks great and other times maybe not so :)
 
22nd August: Sunbather

Think I'm developing my own style of angle shots. But that's cool as I like em :)

This was one of my first shots with my new 58mm polariser for my Canon 50mm 1.4 lens, very nice!
