Daily The Dodo's 366 Challenge 2012

and 17.......Truly scottish, As far as in concerned if you want a propa whisky, the only place it's comin from is scotland.
Altough i do like a good bourbon or irish, im sure any whisky fanatic (scottish or not), would appreciate the taste of a good single scottish malt

Really like the Canal Basin and electric Wharf shots. Had just sent a message to Matt earlier looking for rejuvenated buildings in Cov and that I had been to both of these and Cash's Lane.
Any other suggestions for a project along this theme?

Is that West Orchards ceiling?

Now that would be telling:D:D, I have been down a fair few times now so know my way around down there like the back of my own hands, short of a few select manholes the easiest way is down by gosford street, or if you like a challenge via the old crypts in charterhouse

Anyway ended up taking a quick self portrait via a mirror

Its made up from about 220 30sec exposures iso 800 f 4.5, then stacked using a program called starstax.
The key to the startrails is to locate polaris, find a foreground subject and fire away.
I have some other trails you can look at on my flickr
 
And number 21, today i found out just how unfit i actually am!, must get back into the gym:gag:
went climbing to the top of coventry's old cathedral........

The tunnel was lightpainted using a flash gun, ideally i would normally use colored gels on the flash but had none to hand therefore manually adjusted them in photoshop.
the wire wool was in a small bird feeder then using a 9v battery and a lil spray on lynx lit and spun around like crazy via some rope.
I am not a vandal that goes around spray painting things, the graffiti is completly faked via photoshop:thumbs:
 
Day 29.....TP Meet day, i was not going to use an image from Broadway tower as i really was not overly happy with any of them, the weather although was dry was dreadful!
but i thought i would go ahead and play with one anyway...and decided to use it in the end:thumbs:

Went for a wonder along the canal by my house earlier today, the weather was grey and dull, so decided to process this in b&w and giving it an aged film look
