The other day I was down at McNeill Bay (SE tip of Vancouver Island), looking across the Juan de Fuca Strait at the mountains in Washington, and the light just kept getting better and better.  Sometimes you get lucky.  Fifteen images in total, five sets of +1/0/-1, combined in Autopano Pro and finished in Lightroom.

 The more I looked the better and better your seascape became, then I reread your caption and started to wonder if those were mountains in the sky or?  There are no mountains at all in this in this photo from a walk to the store yesterday.  Bruce

Hasn't been anything here in a couple of weeks, so, to start off the new year...

Great, we shouldn't let this great thread die  8)

We were at the beach yesterday (very good after some days with too much food and way too much to drink)

Here's some B&W's I took inbetween the showers:





Happy New year everybody

Man I'm glad the festive season is a thing of the past. I like the cloud pano Mike. Toke, I need to take one of those chairs of yours and go and sit, or perhaps even lie, somewhere on that beach for at least a day, with some of Mozambique's cheap rum as company.

And some pleasingly soporific music such as the 'Beach Boys Kokomo Soundtrack Cocktail' on youtube. I can seldom get these video links to youtube to work, so you'll have to key it in by yourself if interested... Not to be confused with the great old Gene and Eunice Ko Ko Mo. If you start with that one, it takes you to the Beach Boys one in a few minutes and thus you get two or three for the price of one! Don't say I don't look after you.

I also remember very clearly listening to Connie Francis singing Stupid Cupid on the same local coffee bar's Bal Ami jukebox. Yep, those were indeed years of golden youth, when hair grew thickly on the head so you'd never have the snow touching the scalp, oh yes, that was nice! A Coke or a hot orange or even a coffee on the table in front of you and the idiot behind emptying the ashtray into the hood of your duffle jacket. I enjoyed my late teens very much indeed. I refer to the years, of course; the other possibilities depend on how active (or realistic) your qualities of hindsight...

Some years ago on a visit to Scotland we were taken to the coast to see my bro'-in-lo's new boat. It was sleeting when we left the car - I had no hat, of course, as I only used to wear them to protect from the sun... ice on an unprotected bare head is something they should consider for torture sessions... no bumps, bruises or much of anything else to show. I think I thought the boat was nice, but can't remember much about that.

Better keep him on a short leash. Have fun with him!

Hi, Toke

Congratulations! He might be one of my strays - I would love to have him back, but the plus side of losing him is that those scanners he needs are so expensive... But beware: turning those knurled knobs can be bad for your fingers if you do it too long at any one time! And remember, always put him on a pedestal, sorry, tripod, and mirror him up first! Unless you choose to flash him, that is.

In a fight, he's better than a club, if inclined to slip off his leash.

Don't think I've posted this one before but I do remember chatting about it in connection with it being a rather old Kodachrome of some kind that had been kept between glass or thin plastic since the 60s when it was shot. It had also suffered some discolouration in places, but since it's the only thing left from our honeymoon other than some 8mm shot on her Dad's old cine-camera and later put onto DVD, it's as good as I'm going to get!

Obviously more of the G.O.Ds syndrome...

;-)

That's a fine image for Memory Lane, Rob. I hope you have a good print of it up somewhere.

I like this - a sort of moody/mysterious/seductive glance...

No, I'm afraid I don't. I knew I had the image somewhere but didn't find it again until a few weeks ago, though I have memories of playing around with it when I worked in the industrial unit and had the colour lab at my disposal back around '64 - '65... I'm pretty sure it wasn't discoloured then!

I've been trying to remember if it was done with my Vito B or the Exakta with a 2.8/50 Tessar, though I sort of think it was the former since the first lens I had for the Exakta was a 135mm and I don't think this shot was with that - doubt I could have afforded it then. Also, the slight thickening of the arm leads me to think 50mm because in reality the arm was not like that at all. Well, neither of the arms were, of course.

Remember pre-set diaphragms? (Nothing to do with Kinsey.)
