The right time of the day

[arith]

This is sort of the wrong time of day This place only has a couple of buses a day and they are a lot of witches here waiting to pounce after dark. Nobody knows anything and once you are here you can't get out because somebody stops the return bus from turning up.

The locals waiting at the bus stop weren't waiting for a bus or anything and if you ask them about the bus they say nothing or say they don't know. No taxi firm here and a thousand feet down to civilisation.

The bus didn't turn up but I waved down a mini bus going in the opposite direction to get out before dark.

These are a bit overcooked and the application I use to do PP is gone because it got upgraded to crap that doesn't work.

Perhaps it's not quite so bleak as you paint it. Surely there were lot's of middle-class ladies with wicker shopping baskets, genial mid-life chaps washing the Volvo, a few young tele-working professionals popping into the community store to get a Guardian, and a friendly PCSO who rips the 50D from your hands on the assumed basis that you are a terrorist? Where the hell is that roll-eyes smilie when I need it... Ah... there it is... Have another...

Nope non no PCSO but lots of flash cars, lots of old people and young people waiting at the bus stop just chatting, ask them if this is the right bus stop for Belper to which they reply 'don't know', what bus are you waiting for, 'were not' so I think I go in the shop and ask where I'm told there could well be a bus because there's a bus stop, then she starts screeming at me because I'm in her way. So I ask another woman at the bus stop and she points to the timetable and tries to explain the 24 hour clock, to which I say that this timetable could well be out of date as they frequently are where I live. So she started screeming 'I'm only trying to help'.

I waited and waited for the 1436hrs 142 to Belper until after 1520hrs and figured it wasn't coming confirmed by a mini bus driver who said they are always missing the village out.

This village has a thousand eyes.

Steve,

Where is this place and would you send Frommer's an update for their website/books?

Didn’t anyone ask “are you local?”

I found this John:

and what is Frommer's?

Apparently it is the set for a tv soap

and the woman at the bus stop looked a bit like the second one down on the left, but I don't suppose it was.

I live only 20 miles away and it could be hundreds, although I was bought up in a village this one gives me the eeby jeebies.

I was thinking more Royston Vasey ,as in League of Gentlemen

Glossop isn't far from here really. A bit more townish though but I remember in my truck driving days seeing a pensioner park exactly in front of Woolworth's now defunct, getting out of his car to confront the Woolworth's truck driver with a 60' long truck and puffing away on a very large cigar refuse to move. He had a disabled badge and could park where he liked.

It is not quite the same sort of madness, these are more introverted I think, but maybe not. A lot of pubs here.

In the village I grew up in there wasn't a pub or shop.

I just seen the video and I don't watch tv much but it looks remarkably similar, there is a few more houses here they have population of 2200 which would be about twice the number that live in my street. Yes it was very much like that and they did scream. Odd behaviour where to ask a question gets a screaming answer.

Cor they are just nutty.

Hi,

I've read some of the messages of this thread, not all, I admit =D.

I see that most of you live in higher latitudes than I do, but I saw a pal from Australia sayign about the tropics =).

So, when we shot something looking towards west it is best doing at sunrise?

Well, I live in Rio de Janeiro, it is pretty sunny as you might know. It the summer, with daylight saving time, we have sun about from 6:00 to 20:00. Other day I left home at 19:00 and took these pictures about 19:30.

I was talking to my father about my tryings, and he remarked me that in Rio, for some geographical reasones, we don't really have sunset in the sea, only sunrise.

So, with these informations, what are your suggestions for taking advantage of lighting conditions when taking pictures of the sea but also inside the city around here?

Ah, how about taking pictures after the rain, someone has commented about it once (not here in the forum) but I didn't understand very well.

Thank you a lot for the patient with my newbie questions.
