[ballaratdragons]

Cool train Steve!

[iceman]

Nice subject BD, should be interesting to see how people interpret it!

[RB]

How bout a 4 hour long hand guided film exposure of a DSO?

:lol:

[RAJAH235]

Animal, vegetable or mineral? or all 3. :P :D L.

[TidaLpHasE]

;)Interesting subject Ken, so many choices:confuse3:

[fringe_dweller]

ahh so you can use overseas snaps can ya? I could of won the last one with my massive collection of shots of castles and such from the UK! :( :doh:

[janoskiss]

No, you cannot! Only shots taken within your street between 6:15 and 6:25pm EST are allowed.

... Hmmm ... sounds like sour grapes to me, green monster, er I mean, Kearn. :P And you haven't been paying attention. I clearly stated that my shot in last months comp was taken in Transylvania.

[TidaLpHasE]

Is that daylight savings time:P

[janoskiss]

No. Australian Eastern Standard Time. An astronomer loathes daylight, not save it.

[ballaratdragons]

Thanks Mike. I want to see how many people think outside the box!

[fringe_dweller]

hehe - i hope i am not sounding too bitter and twisted about it? :wink2: :P - its funny how much intensity there is when there is so little at stake! I might be taking this feigned upsetness too far? ;)
Great subject Ken! I was gonna take a pic of clock face - after all the day is long? and may the best pic win - grumble grumble

[ballaratdragons]

That's what I was gonna do, you idea thief!

But it shows you know how to think outside the box, or colour outside the lines or one of those trendy new sayings :)

[fringe_dweller]

- Ken, I am not sure that i have ever thought 'in' the box? :) :nerd:

[janoskiss]

You need to know what the box is and where it is before you can actually move outside it.
:D

[fringe_dweller]

:rofl: That damn box!!! :stargaze: :rofl: :)

[iceman]

Spectacular shot Jonathan, I love it!

[asimov]

:confuse3: ;) I love a challenge. I burnt that box years ago! :lol:

[Jonathan]

Thanks Mike! I had to scan it from the print so it's a little fuzzy. It's a big train that's for sure.

[RB]

Awesome shot Jonathan.

:)

[Jonathan]

Thanks Andrew. I reckon I was 10 years old when I took it! I got lucky :nerd:
I wish I knew where the negative was..... :confuse2:

[RAJAH235]

Nice 'hall',Paul. Is the colour, natural, lighting or ??????
jackenau, was thinking 'outside' the box again. Not laterally.
:D L.

[rumples riot]

Rajah, the hall is painted that colour. Thanks. Jonathan I like your shot. Very interesting perspective. You have given me some inspiration for a study I want to do.

[Jonathan]

Thanks Paul. :) I used a camera with a 35mm lens & 35mm film. What sort of study have you been inspired to do?

[davidpretorius]

Firstly, great challenge idea Ken!!!!

Secondly, what a brilliant bunch of artistic old buggas you guys are! I mean it, they are great photos!!!

I really like this off shoot thread

I was thinking of taking a picture of a star or a planet titled "A long time ago in a galaxy far far away", but there is this forum called ice in space and if they get this same idea, the planet masters over there will submit shots better than mine.

Actually "A long time ago in a galaxy far far away" would make a opening sequence / great start to a movie. I could make it about good and evil and flying space ships and robots. Actually Chris venter's head shot in his avatar looks like an evil character I could use.........hmmmmmm

[davidpretorius]

great shot Phil,

i didn't realise you were on the west tamar, i always thought you lived in Newnham???

Will you get a chance to get mars or the full moon as it rises over barrow or arthurs???

[rumples riot]

Jonathan, I was thinking of doing a study of internal images inside a train at night or going through a tunnel. Need to think a lot more about what I want to do though.

[iceman]

I hope you looked both ways, Rob! :)

[xrekcor]

LOL... No, I didn't have to go to the doctors to get a train surgically removed :scared:

regards,CS

[RB]

I like how you blended the sepia and the colour to highlight the track.
Good idea Rob.

:)

[RAJAH235]

Venus, lovely pic. Right time + right place = excellent result.
Mark, nice shot. I tried to get close to the base of the 'stack', but their fence stopped me + sun in wrong place.
Rob, nicely done. Great result. :D L.

[33South]

Houghy

Was that in-camera B&W or post processing ?

[iceman]

Nice one David, I like the wharf in the foreground.

[h0ughy]

Bit of both ;)

[venus]

Thanks RAJAH235, you're right about the time + place thing and "weather" comes into play as well:-)
I picked 1. "The hallway"
2. "The Stack"
3. "The Long Cloud"
