Photo Of The Day.

Recommended Posts

Went out on a photoshoot yesterday hoping for a shot for the current comp.The Ark Royal was returning to her home river to celebrate her 30th birthday.I just had to go along to see her enter the Tyne.

 

The conditions were absolutely horrendous.I was stood on the top of a hill and it was blowing a hoolie.Could not use the tripod as it was blowing over,even with a weighted bag suspended below it :o The sky was that grey it just merged in with the sea :o

Just taking a hand held job was difficult due to the buffeting wind.

 

Right thats all the excuses out of the way :rolleyes: here is the best of a really bad bunch!!!

It was still nice to get out though.Will try and get some better shots of her leaving the Tyne.

What an impressive ship, Snatcher. I need to visit this thread more often, there are so many excellent photos on display. I haven't any of my own to share today, however, allow me to share this link to a photos from my state. I particularly like Miners Castle on Lake Superior.

Thanks for that Severus.Some awesome shots on there.Got to agree with you those "fall" colours are fantastic.I also like the sunrise one over the lake.

Some really great shots there Snatcher, with shots like that in bad weather it isn't hard to imagine how they would have been in good weather. :camera:

 

 

Those photos have made me very homesick for the years and years I lived in "Shields" I well remember seeing the Ark Royal when she first sailed from the Tyne.

Angly and DelJ pleased you like the pictures.Why not pop in here more often and have a bash at the monthly photo comp?Its only a friendly comp with no prizes. It does help to improve your photography though. I am always looking for that perfect shot now :rolleyes: Does such a thing exist??? :sun: :sun: :sun:

Snatcher I did try to enter, but despite being (I thought) pretty PC/Web literate, I couldn't format my post to look like everyone else's. By far the hardest challenge I've tried to enter...so I gave up! Is there some simple trick I'm missing?

Just hoping the weather will improve a bit and do the old arthritis a bit of good so I can dust off the camera. :camera:
