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

Very nice Portsmouth picture. The yellow colour reminds me of the movie Training day - they´re using this type of colour there as well.
 
24th September: Thermal light trail art

Car light trails, 4 second exposure whilst zooming out from 100 - 400mm, then converted to thermal infrared with Color Efex Pro. Don't ask why, not a good day.

Love the nuclear spider Julian. Not too sure about today's though - a bit wacky for me - I thought my Abbey shot yesterday was pretty 'out there'! :lol:
 
Thanks Dave, don't really like the pastel colours, but whilst driving around Southsea at lunch these were just crying out to be snapped ;)
 
26th September: Ship and Awe

Another ship shot from one of my favorite spots in Southampton, Mayflower Park. I have already snapped the Independence of the Seas in my 365. In-case you don't already know she (and her 2 sister ships) are the biggest cruise ships on the planet currently in service. Normally I would have a closeup shot of just the ship, but since my last visit jetty's have sprung up just in front of the Independence's berth, so it spoils the clean view, so I decided to do something I don't often do, and take a shot with people in it. I feel it helps in this instance to convey the sheer size of this beast.

Again this res does no justice to the shot, viewed full size I can make out running machines on the upper decks ;)

Probably not Julian. :lol: let's just say the temptation hasn't completely gone away. I actually need to sit down and work out what I really need to do with the redundancy money, a D700 would be lovely but probably not a viable option. A 70-200VR? That's another matter.. :D

Watched Training Day last night, the green shades when he's just taken the test are a lovely look that I will definitely try to replicate. :thumbs:

Great movie isn´t it? I like the intro from the film company where they use the "yellow filter".

Southsea Beach is great, very colourfull and from a good perspective.
 
Wow thats big!

And Royal Caribbean are building 2 new ships (Oasis and Allure of the Seas) that will be a third bigger again than the Independence, WOW!!!

28th September: The dying embers of the day...

After helping put the children to bed I noticed the fantastic sunset behind the wood. I grabbed my camera bag and rushed into the woods (crashing into logs and all sorts), just managed to get to the edge before the sun disappeared below the horizon, phew ;)
