That's a lot of rusty links!

*just for interest they arte spare chains that the ferry runs on.....

*

Interesting treatment on those images kort it is very "paintery"...

this is one i took when i was out with a mate playing golf... he was playing i was photoing (i'll be posting some of the "better" shots in my gallery soon) :)  The ball was too close in to the back edge for him to stand in there, it was a difficult shot, furthermore so that he lost his sand wedge last week and is using a pitching wedge in this shot... he actually played a better shot than he thought he would and overshot the green into links golfers' friend - the Gorse Bush

Wow...preceeding this post are some excellent shots. 

Awjay, the clarity of the ferry shot is super and Rich, love that shot with the dust and all.    Tom.

very surreal image of the bats.... i like it

*different chains.......

*

A whole new batch of delights! This is a really great thread but everyone else is missing some terrific shots! BJ

*did i say i liked the beach ?

*

How very cool! so many textures and colours! It should seem so busy, but instead it is quite calming. BJ

*Pastel......

Interesting shot, is this a poppy of some kind, did you alter the colour? Hey I was the first post on page 43 of the thread that will not die! BJ

it was a yellow poppy ,i duplicated the image and converted it to b/w using a CMYK method i like to use (but i guess any b/w conversion will work) .then i reintroduced some colour using the opacity slider ....james

It has a very cool look. BJ

its the first time i tried it :)

Well it turned out really cool. Try some more. BJ

I probably will as im always trying different stuff out...... james

trees are good for pics too

These are wonderful! I's love to spend some time perched high up over that river. They look so fuzzy and soft. BJ

*wall ....

for you wall lovers........*

You have the greatest eye for pleasing textures Jay. Looks like he'll grow up mean, Kort. spiderwebb, It is an incredible shot!  Are you insane!?! LOL BJ

I know the feeling SW, I was walking to my car and lighting struck just down the street from me -- freaked me out!!

walkin the dog,justa ,justa walkin.........

the pick looks great .. the guy may have a split personality though.....

Hey, congrats on the 1300th post in this thread awjay. :) Methinks the dog is walking him.

i think the dog is looking for a post lol...

not sure if this works or not ....

now this works ;)...

The building was a treat to view.  Much was occupied by the bank, on both sides of the hotel. The public access to the bank is shown partially here.  Built in the late 1800's, the bank showed all the "stuff" banks want to show strength and such.   Wonder how they feld during the depression?

Lighting was terrible for a photo. Bright hanging lights are just to the right of the image, kept out of the shot so exposure would not be too messed up.

These look like Corinthian colums, all rich marble. The entire area was marble and old and very impressive. I wish the lighting was different but they want light, not shadow in the bank.

"in real life, I am likely not here that often"

Hahahaha! This is great! Love it, Tom. Thank you! 

Btw, I haven't had an ebot for this thread in sooooooooooo long. I had no idea all this was going on! Fun stuff people. And LOL spiderwebbs' fearlessness cracked me up. Isn't it amazing how all our fears , ( and rationality )  disappear when taking a photo?  ;^P

I'm amazed I'm allowed a camera! A fews years ago I was trying to get a Copperhead snake that was crossing the walk to strike a pose for me...strike get it. I'm not on meds

LOL! You're the Steve Irwin of photography!

*DINNER IS SERVED...

Squirrels are so entertaining!

Here's a little something I was playing with this weekend. It didn't come out too good. Hence, this is the perfect place for it. ;^)

Manning, the slow shutter speed works very well in that humorous photo-sequence.

Here's a weirdee taken at a red light, in NYC. No matter how many times I look at it, it makes no visual sense to me...

Don't let Dale Chihuly hear you say that! Know, it was a floating sculpture at Fairchild Garden. What a cool image there Marlenealooch It almost looks like a collage!

Ooops! Sorry Dale.

It's bizarre isn't it? I never knew what to do with it. As always, here's the perfect place. :^P

under the flyover.....

Excellent spacial abstract!!!

I agree. That's really wonderful.

thanks.... the real shot from the camera was 90 deg clockwise but i liked the look of it this way..;)

Awjay, you have a good artistic eye for abstract patterns. How about posting more of them in your gallery?
