Some shots from The Victory Show. I have too many to add here. Took near on 1000 photos over 12 hours there. Here are approximately 26 of them.

 

Hope you like

A couple I took with an absolutely gorgeous 1960s Spotmatic I picked up for 20 quid.

 

 

Meant to post this a while ago. Check out this guy's work. Great photographer.

Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing.

Howdy all. I have set up another page on Facebook, primarily for the War Re-enactment photography I do from time to time. So if you're on Facebook, please feel free to "like" the page. Only set it up yesterday afternoon, so still many images to add as I go along. Cheers

Not sure if it's totally everyones cup of tea but next week in London is open house weekend, loads of places that are normally closed to the public are open and free to all places like the Gherkin, Tower 42, Lloyds of London and Battersea power station including the turbine hall for the last time before it gets mashed up and turned into a shopping centre.

 

I reckon there will be some amazing photo opportunities so heading down myself

Really nice work! I love the one with the mist rolling in.

Here are a couple from Norfolk I took last week:

Aye, I love analogue photography although it drains the finances rather.

Really like that one. Blakeney? And where is that photo with the church tower taken?

Agree. I really like this one too. 

Where in Norfolk?

[bovril]

Thornham, about ten minutes east of Hunstanton.

 

The church is in the Fens, near Downham Market. It's ruined. Very beautiful place.

New York-based Danish photographer Asger Carlsen. He's all about the Photoshop and he produces some weird and wonderful stuff.

 

For example:

 

 

 

 

This last one is a 'self portrait'.

Not had much chance of photography lately due to starting a new job, but here's one from yesterday afternoon at Burrough Hill Country Park. Took cover here for a bit amidst the howling gales and heavy rain. Loved the Autumnal colours staring to show.

Haha sorry mate

Thought I'd try a bit of HDR, which I understand some people like, others don't.

 

St. Catherine's Oratory, Blackgang, Isle of Wight. Sunset in the West with a storm brewing overhead on Saturday 12th October 2013.

Very mystical

 

Must admit I had to look up HDR. Was aware the human eye can cope with a much greater range of contrast than a camera, so I guess this is achieving something close to what you actually see with your eyes. Would be interesting to compare the same shot taken with a "normal" exposure

[MikeyT]

Couple of shots I've re-edited. Both from Derbyshire. The river one from Cromford and the other is Lumsdale Falls in Matlock.

Ahh memories. On visits to the Grandparents I used to climb that rock formation in pic 3 and pretend I was a mountaineer.  It doesn't look so formidable now.

Go back and give it a try. I dare say at the time it was like your very own Everest.
