Hmmmm, this'll be interesting.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Goatse!

Big wheel thingy in Manchester.
Ooo looks like I caught a load of stars in the shot too, never realised that before. Resized from 4000x3000 and taken on my digicam.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

You probably want to run that through Photoshp's Smart Sharpen filter, it's suffered a bit from the resize I fear.

 

[Tom]

Those are more likely to be flies than stars - Manchester's sky is far too polluted to see the night sky.

I dont have photoshop and know precisely dick about filters

Quite remarkable how they have imitated the big dipper star formation then

 

[Tom]

What can I say, we don't have ordinary flies up in MAnchester you know...

 

[00dave]

Air to air refuelling hose over the south atlantic. It's almost sexual when it connects.

 

[Jupitus]

Fucking lolling here as I can see 00Dave's failed attempts to get the image uploaded correctly - he tried about 10 times before that post

 

[00dave]

yeah trial and error followed by reverse engineering for the win. I had a feeling the mods would be able to see them all.

 

[00dave]

also those 10 times are just the times I accidently clicked post instead of preview so it could have been worse I was getting tired towards the end but didn't want to give up, that's how dedicated to the competition I am. Anyway I'm sorted now no thanks to you lot

I just counted - it was 16 failed attempts... it took me about 20 minutes to scroll past the deleted posts to find your successful picture post

 

[TdC]

it took me about 20 minutes to scroll past

this is because Jup has very small hands ^^

 

[00dave]

Anyway what do you think of the pic, I was literally crouched behind the pilot next to the open cargo door switches and it was really quite rough weather. If I'd have snapped a second later you would have seen the earthing spark between the connections that shit the life out of me because I wasn't expecting it.

Also note the ford cortina style cream plastic with holes in interior at the top of the photo.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Well, hopefully this fits..i dunno...

Obvious place for the shot, didn't notice the ring until after

No cameras allowed on plane my arse.

Spoiler

Yes i know what caused it...

 

[00dave]

More airplane shots

[WPKenny]

Taken on my camera phone after filling up with petrol....

 

[Tom]

I'm hopefully picking up a new lens tomorrow, and I have just the shot for this theme...

BTW, can someone lend me 3 grand to buy a Canon 5D Mk2 please. If you're not sure what I'm on about, search for it on Vimeo.

If it's video you're after, you could get a K-7 at half the price . In terms of video, i've been very impressed by what i've seen so far, even the Canon owners have been raving about it. I've ready of some infancy problems with some K-7s which is a bit of a let down, but a compact, rugged, completely weather sealed (unique) with image stabilisation built into the body make it a very interesting upgrade to me.

 

[Tom]

Its the sensor size that's the main thing. I can shoot stuff in HD already, but not with a sensor that big.

 

[milou]

I nicked the circular theme from Photo Friday.

 

[milou]

Same circle but different view:

Ceann Thulabhaig at Lewis, Outer Hebrides.

Also known as Callanish IV - more info.

 

[old.user4556]

Nice part of the world Milou, I keep on meaning to pencil in a trip up there because it's not that far from me, but the weather is so damn unpredictable. Also, I don't mean to be a pain but that could be construed as the same shot from a different angle, which is against one of the rules .

 

[milou]

Second one is for info only (/back-pedals).

 

[WPKenny]

Another random shot...
