Inside the Devils Chimney

Back to the ventilation shaft for the old railway line today, but under instead of over this week.

[shotokan101]

works really well

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks Jim.

 

[shotokan101]

Meant to ask how you exposed for that shot Sarah ?

Jim

 

[Brian_of_Bozeat]

Good one, I like the abstract feel to it. Flips from chimney to moon to eyeball and back again...

 

[shotokan101]

Don't think it's the moon - even Sarah isn't that patient...

 

[whipspeed]

I did have a friend suggest that they would moon over the top for me

As for the settings, the main shot is ISO 400, f11 @1/40sec, RAW file then processed to bring out details & sharpened. I also took a second image exposed for the sky, dropped it in behind and revealed just the sky portion.

 

[shotokan101]

Thanks Sarah - I "suspected" multiple exposures but wanted to check

RE; "Friend" - "Bit Cheeky"

Hairy Arse

After all the talk of mooning yesterday, this seemed appropriate

[JakeT1992]

Love the chimney. The flower shot from yesterday works very well also.

 

[shotokan101]

Not sure about this one Sarah - almost looks like a pencil drawing....

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks Jake
Jim, I thought it looked like a drawing as well & since hubby does draw rather well I said oh look, I can draw with my camera as well. He gave me a dirty look

Figs from the garden with honey

[shotokan101]

beautifuly shot but..... <shudders>

 

[vince31]

fig is just scrumptious and hairy arse is a classic

 

[whipspeed]

Jim, I agree, they do taste horrible I don't eat them, so lucky we only get 2 or 3 a year
Vince, thanks glad you like them

 

[JakeT1992]

Nice shot Sarah, not sure I like the honey falling from nowhere though

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks Jake, the top of the drip is there in the original file, it's just a bit lost in the vignette. I did try with a spoon in the shot, but it looked unbalanced.

Rush Job. Apologies, work then out all afternoon, not back in daylight


11th-September-2013 by Sarah Brooke, on Flickr

 

[shotokan101]

very nice - another "almost hand" drawn feel mind you - and I hate the frame/edge effects - but I hate all frame/edge effects

 

[vince31]

Works well Sarah

Both very nice - and creative

 

[Brian_of_Bozeat]

This is very clever.

Great shot

 

[SamuelSlade007]

Thou Shall not Pass!

Guard sheep at Castle Ashby House.


13th-September-2013 by Sarah Brooke, on Flickr

 

[Brian_of_Bozeat]

They are Baaa ing the way!

Nice texture, a little dark perhaps that's intentional?

 

[shotokan101]

nice enough shot but a bit "flat"....

 

[whipspeed]

Yes, dark is intentional, I wanted to make the sheep look dark and evil

 

[whipspeed]

I shall have a play round with the contrast.

 

[Brian_of_Bozeat]

Yes, dark is intentional, I wanted to make the sheep look dark and evil

Though as much, it worked I think.

Finding Nemo 2

Not such a happy ending, maybe it was a mistake getting Michael Crichton to write the script.


14th-September-2013 by Sarah Brooke, on Flickr

 

[shotokan101]

Nice one - but I thought this was Finding Nemo 2 ?

 

[whipspeed]

LOL that is excellent, Nemo Sushi

 

[Brian_of_Bozeat]

Aww poor Nemo, put him down you bad dino!

Windy Day

Thought I'd go out and watch the trees blowing in the wind today. Certainly feels like Autumn.

[shotokan101]

Nice shot - caught the motion just right

 

[Brian_of_Bozeat]

I agree, spot on. Really really nice.

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks both, glad you like it.
