manphibian Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 It's a sculpture in the Imperial War Museum in Manchester It's about 3 metres tall, hanging there as you go in. Pretty impressive thing. Crusader it's called, supposed to depict exploding war torn buildings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vik54 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Am lucky enough to have the River Tay at the bottom of the garden... here's some of my better efforts Taken with ancient Olympus and HTC phone - no DSLR here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjones6699 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I love a good sunset! Lovely pictures Vik, I would have used the 2/3rds rule though...apart from the first where I would have had the horizon smack in the middle of the shot. That's just me though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik54 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Chris - I haven't got a scooby when it comes to photography... I point and shoot at things I like the look of - take loads of the same thing and eventually something semi-decent comes out What's the 2/3 rule?

bronzee Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 You're lucky to have such a pretty vista on your garden step Vik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds2000 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 There are some talented folk on here for sure, wow at several of these photos! Here are a few of my favourites from the month of travelling I did around SE Asia this summer, best trip of my life! Sadly these are hosted on facebook so have lost a little bit of the clarity! Straight off the camera: Singapore: Thailand: Vietnam: HDR The mekong river: Our hotel for the night, amazing place: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I point and shoot at things I like the look of - take loads of the same thing and eventually something semi-decent comes out What's the 2/3 rule? The 2/3 rule is a very basic one. If you split a photo into 2/3, say a beach scene for example, the sky should take up 2/3 or the sand should take up 2/3 of the photo. You should have a setting on your camera that puts up a grid. That's for this rule. Give it a go next time you get a nice sunset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greeny Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Edit.. opps did not see chris' reply sorry lol but heres another now any way lol Vik, for The Rule Of Thirds. If you imagine 2 Vertical and 2 horizontal lines on your view finder like a noughts and crosses grid. You want to place points of interest along these lines so they are not bang in the middle. Doing this creates a balanced photograph. If for instance you were taking a photo of a light house at the end of a rock or cliff, you should try and line the light house up with say the vertical line on your left. If you and shooting landscapes if you have foreground interest place the horizon on the top horizontal line. If you have more back ground interest place the horizon on the bottom line to show off beautiful skies. The Rule Of Thirds is just a photography guide there are time when it can be broken and still create good images Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greeny Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 that seems very complicated lol maybe ill look again when its not 2.10am haha.
