Winsford Soul Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Not many birds out and about today managed to see a small flock of redpolls and siskins, no pictures. Found out that there is a small population of mountain hares up on the moors and they turn pure white like there northern cousins didn't see any though but I will be back Steve

Amsterdam Russ Posted January 13, 2015 Author Posted January 13, 2015 Thanks Russell. He won the Virgin Balloon photo competition in 2013 with this one...... And a worthy winner, without a doubt. I noticed that he likes to be "on high" when taking photos - and with stunners like this one, you can immediately see why. Really fantastic work! 2

Steve S 60 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 You should be very proud Steve, a lot of very beautiful photos I certainly am, thanks Dave. I wouldn't have the patience for some of the shots he takes. Some of his star trails take hours, and he spends a lot of time processing them afterwards.
Steve S 60 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Steve, your son certainly got a eye for a picture mate Steve Thanks Steve. He's also got all the technical stuff weighed off. 1

I noticed that he likes to be "on high" when taking photos - and with stunners like this one, you can immediately see why. Really fantastic work! I went up in the balloon with him that day. It was really foggy on the ground so we were a bit dubious about what the view would be like, but once we got up to about 500 feet, you could see for miles. Great experience. He got some free balloon rides as part of his prize, so he took his Grandad with him last year. 2

Steve S 60 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 I'm sure it must have been a really amazing experience, especially in those conditions. The funny thing was, the missus came to see us off. I was on the end of the guide rope when the balloon was being inflated and when I jumped into the basket, she was in there. Some people hadn't turned up so she was offered a cheap flight. Brilliant experience and I would recommend it to anyone. Really peaceful up there. The pilot had a camera that was rigged up so he could take a group photo of everybody in the basket. 2

Chris L Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Now I would never claim to be a photographer by a long chalk. I have however owned a couple of decent cameras over the years, and been fortunate to DJ in lots of great places, so here are a few of what I consider to be the better photographs.

Hope something comes of it. Lumas Berlin - had to look that up. The Berlin branch of an international chain of art galleries? I reckon any opportunity to present your work to the public - commercially or otherwise - is a great achievement! And that the interest is there in the first place shows that his name and his work is out there... Great stuff! Edited January 16, 2015 by Russell Gilbert

He's already been approached by Getty images and he's had a few accepted by them. One particular shot he took from the Virgin Balloon has made him a few bob. 3

Sounds like he's well on the way in crossing over to being a recognised professional.

Winsford Soul Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Been out and about up around dove stones today. -1c, Thick fog and about 5" maybe 6" of snow. two hours uphill walking through the chew valley and couldn't see anything so decided to return to lower levels where the fog had lifted slightly. Managed to see two red deer hinds, a dipper and a few stonechats, will have to go through the pictures when the condensation has gone of my camera and see if there's anything to post. Steve

Tattoodave Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Add the piano in too. essentially juxtapose means side by side, but the piano too would be side by side by side, and I prefer "side by side by Sondheim", which incidentally gets it's name from "Side by side by side", a song from Company, not the band, but the show. Company, the show, also has a song called "You could drive a person crazy", which while it is a noble quest, it isn't my intention, that is just to provoke thought. 1
