This is my best photograph of the weekend; my son coming down a slide at the local zoo:

One little tip from me........ occasionally give copies of your backup DVDs/CDs to a friend or relative for safe keeping. That way you are covered if the house burns down or a burgler gets their hands on them. Most of my pictures are of the children, and their grandparents are more than happy to receive CDs full of pictures every once in a while!

Are you the guy holding the pipe?
At the moment my brother takes too long to paint a picture for it to be worth him selling it. I offered him $500 a painting for those nebulae paintings when he got sick of them and moved on to the next phase, like he is doing now, but he said each one took about 3 months to do and they wouldn't be worth selling for under $2,000 each and of course no-one is going to pay that. So until he gets faster at it or develops those time saving skills or little tricks that help an artist create a work of art in the least amount of time, he probably wouldn't sell even if people were banging down his door. But he is definitely at that point where he wants his work to be seen and appreciated, he talks about showings rather than sales.
No. I'm the one in the pink top on the far left. My wife is next to me with black "bunchies".
I agree with Steve & Newt, however if he's not ready to sell.........
Why not set up a website if he wants people to see the pictures. NB. just a thought, but he could always offer high quality prints if he doesn't want to sell the pictures.

Oh My God! Just had a look at his slide show which took 20 minutes, not 13 minutes as it says, my pc must be slow, but what incredible artwork. And what a lucky child who gets a mural in her room like that, is that his own daughter? or girlfriends daughter? 3,900 pounds, that's around $10,000 Aus I imagine but I'm sure it is well worth it. What a talented guy, and he's only been doing it for 10 years, thanks so much for sharing that with us. Can't wait to show it to my brother.
Cheers.
He's a lovely quiet guy who for years only painted for friends/pleasure. He's finally making a real success of his talent, largely through the web site and word of mouth. He hasn't got any children of his own, but he's painted walls for local hospitals and the founders of Friends Reunited (assume you have this in Oz).
I'm in this picture, one of Neils early works.
It is possible to make it if you are patient and work at it. Hope your brother get there too.

Wow what a fantastic challenge this one was.....all i can say is it must of been a hard choice to pic just three from such a fantastic range of shots....Hope the next challenge brings in as much interest which i have no doubt that it will so keep em coming peeps....and a big thanks for putting one of my pics in the final three.....means alot (well chuffed) the traffic lights one blew me away and the bluebell railway one brought back some cracking memories from when i visited there many years ago.....and in black and white really makes the shot in my eyes
well done to all who entered and good luck to Chris and Paul
Ollie.
Thanks Ollie. Best of luck to you and Paul.
I'm really chuffed to be in the final three.
My favorite was "Speed Of Light". My passion is finding patterns and isolating them with the camera. Speed of Light is just my kind of thing; bold, simple, dramatic.
I've always been a bit envious of those who can capture the human condition. I only rarely manage something I'm proud of. Hats of to you Ollie.

Love will find a way.....
I took this in a fairground (one of those crane games).

Wow, awesome colours, did it look like that to the naked eye?
Yes, pretty much. Had to trek for an hour in the dark to get there for sunrise. All over in half an hour!
I love the lampost picture. Absolutely fantastic, in a class of its own

Very nice pic, Purplealien. Welcome to Angler's Net!
Do you fish, or just take photos?
I used to go course fishing regularly in my youth, then discovered women, beer and football. I've recently taken up fly fishing (only still waters so far).
I had a spell of being really into photography in the 90's, and still carry the camera everywhere. However, mostly its pictures of the kids these days.

Hi Guys
I'm new to this forum, but I love all your photos.
This is my best tree picture, taken on my first SLR years ago.

No lions at this zoo, it only has little animals. Actually this is a repeat of a picture I took last year, but lost in a computer crash
I have to confess I do like purple. purplealien comes from my web site which is named after this picture of a purple alien painted by my son when he was 4 years old.
It's now become my web ID.
