Just stumbled in to this thread again during my lunch break. It made me want to post some more pictures. Most of my pictures are at home so i'll post some that are on my PC at work. :blink:

Some were framed and given a title.

Ever tried to make a screw twist on its tip and then make a photograph of it while its spinning? :wacko:

One thing we eat here in belgium are mussles. Sometimes you find little crabs between them. Seeing this one killed my appetite. It was still defending it's eggs while being boiled :s

mmm.jpg

The next shot was taken at night. This poor guy just froze when he walked in front of our flashlight.

Added a little title... might have been a prince :p

Kiss_Me_-_Ribbitt.jpg

This shot was actually taken just before nightfall of the previous shot. It was taken last year when the days get shorter. The sky get's magnificent colors for just a few minutes

The following 2 shots were taken at an abandoned mine. Nature was taking over.

Finally a shot of my ugly head taken in the showers of the abandoned coal mine. This was the only mirror that was still intact. Maybe it broke under the strain of my reflection :blink:

Maybe you can enjoy these shots a bit. Cheerz

DAMN....incredible pictures, sjokkel...just fantastic

Couldn't have said it better! ;)

Very very nice indeed:)

Sjokkel, hope you don't mind if I download some of them for wallpapers or something(only private use of course)? :)

If you have more, please post! :yes: (Y)

[edit: confusing sentence un-confusified ;) ]

Thanks!

I like them alot! Especially the spinning screw and the pipe in the

abandoned mine (I love the colors on that one, and the contrast

between the red rusty left side of the pipe and the right side where

it's green and growing).

The evening sky is pretty too, but I think I'm spoiled on that front,

cause the sky looks like that almost every night (ok, exaggerating

a little bit, but it looks like that very often. if the weather is clear,

that is) where I grew up. :)

The crab-picture has some lovely colors, but it really made me

lose my appetite too. The poor thing is looking at me! ;)

If you keep the shots for personal use as a wallpaper i certainly wouldn't mind.... i even feel flattered  :blush:

Feel free to use them on your desktop.  :)

i have the pipe up right now :whistle:

you have to enter those in a contest!

Thoreau published his nonfiction work, Walden (1854), based on his two years, two months, and two days living in a 10' x 15' cabin on the shore of Walden Pond. (July 4, 1845 - September 6, 1847).

Here on April 19, 1775 the British redcoats battled the Colonial Minutemen; Emerson wrote his poem "The Concord Hymn" to dedicate the site.

...outside The Old Manse

This landmark was built 1770 by Reverend William Emerson, preacher and patriot. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote his essay Nature (1836) here, laying the groundwork for Transcendentalism.

Nathaniel Hawthrone lived here with his bride, Sophia Peabody (1842-46), and wrote his collection of short stories, Mosses from an Old Manse (1846).

i'd recommend a lowepro tlz 1 or mini.

also, the lens adapter plus UV filter will help protect it. my sister messed my original g3 (i had it replaced, luckily), but you see this all the time at dpreview, where someone drops the camera with the lens extended.

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance by David Uzondu Recently, the UK's Home Office announced a sweeping set of proposals to make Britain the "first country in the world" where children cannot share or view nude photos on their smart devices, an initiative that authorities claim will protect children from online predators and combat pornography. In response, Signal believes that while the government must keep children "safe" and "protected," it should do so through social services and education, not by "surveillance, funding cuts, and cover-ups." The company called the plan "dystopian" and warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy, arguing that scanning on the presumption of nudity will only strengthen the market dominance and data control of giant corporations like Apple and Google. The statement continues by accusing the government of hiding its true intentions under the guise of child safety. Signal argues that the Home Office is building an invisible surveillance infrastructure that remains ripe for exploitation by future administrations and authoritarian regimes. According to the company, this aggressive approach completely ignores the actual needs of young people, such as properly funded schools and mental health services. Tech companies like Apple and Google have a three-month window to implement these mandatory device-level filters across the United Kingdom. If these tech firms refuse to comply with the mandate, the government will pass emergency legislation to force them to comply, threatening massive fines and even going after the CEOs of these companies with criminal charges. The technology will work by blocking explicit images directly on the operating system of all smartphones and tablets by default. This system monitors the device camera and third-party apps to intercept nudity before anyone can upload or send the image. Adults can still view explicit content, but only after completing a strict age verification check to unlock their devices. Several bodies like the NSPCC and Barnardo's praised the Home Office's decision, arguing that device-level intervention stops the cycle of grooming before it starts. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also supported the policy, claiming that tech companies can implement on-device checks "without threatening privacy or collecting any data."
    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
