Hi Barry,

I'm seeing 1 image in your CiC album - can you remember how to insert it into a post here?

Edit: Hi Barry - I've popped it into the post for you -- hope it's the right shot!

Over here (in the south/east of the Netherlands) it's 12.20 (pm) at 1 july so I'll be post a bit later in this challenge every day.

This is a shot I took form a old part of my former school. It's a habit for seniors to do an Exam stunt in their last year at school. This year there was some trouble and the older part of the school got sprayed full of graffiti.
On the left side of the building you can see "Examen Stunt 2010". Luckily this gives my a bit of an urban location to shoot .

So what do you think of my first PAD entry?



Here you can find my total PAD gallery.

To get an album image into a post here, pick up these instructions from step 14.

Cheers,

Beautiful structures and surfaces here, rob. Really beautiful bw. The only thing I could say is that I don't like the little thing in the upper left corner.

This is my second photo of this 1.st July 2010 I erased the 1.st one as it was under my standards

Another birdy. We are parked up right beside an old untended apple tree. Sparrows and waxeyes folk to eat from the ripening apples. They are very shy and capturing them means standing very, very still, in the cold, for a long time. D-d-d-d-d-d-d!

Beauty, Kit: that's a real candid shot.

Cheers,
Rick

Rick? Your Kitty is burning a hole with those eyes. I don’t know if you consider it perfect, but that is one the Queen could add to her Palace Wall! Well done to Her Majesty's Personal Royal Shooter!

Nice shot Rick. She does indeed look like royalty, I think she deserves a spot in the Pet Potrait thread Pet Portraits - please post them here. I don't remember seeing her there.
Wendy

Thanks, Terry and Wendy. And I will add her to the pets thread. I'm not sure she thinks of herself that way, but that's typical for cats.

Cheers,
Rick

Many thanks, Jeroen - I didn't spot that. I've cloned it out and replaced the shot.

And here is the colour version - I'm sticking with the BW though, even though the colours are good.

[rick55]

Jeroen, I like the graffiti urban shot. One suggest on the composition: you can see the bottom of the corner of the wall on the left (as we view the image), which is very good. You can't see it on the right, so that wall looks like a frame. If you can include the bottom, it would make a great lead-in. If you can't, maybe try cropping it off?

Rob, I like the color version better. The contours and textures aren't lost, because the colors are subtle, and the blue really adds, IMO.

António, that's a great baby picture: just the soft foot on the baby blanket tells you everything.

Cheers,
Rick

Dull, dreary day, so had to push things a bit in PP.



I think this will take you to my tinypic album:

Hi Jeroen,

It looks good to me. In fact, it reminded me of the time I was in the Air Force (where we used bikes a lot to get around the base). A friend's bike was leaning up against a rail ... and being the security-conscious person that I am, I added a chain and padlock. Friend comes out ... and spent about 5 minutes trying to figure out how the chain & padlock got there before eventually getting a pair of bolt cutters to remove it

Hi Rob,

I'm assuming that you mean Helicon Focus? If so, just wondering why it wasn't possible to get the D of F in a single shot?

[Colin Southern]

This is my first picture from today. I do have others but I am a little short of time...

Hi Antonio,

Home made bread? We bought one of those bread making machines not too long ago, and went through a phase of cooking a fresh loaf every day for a while. I love fresh hot bread dripping with butter, but these days I keep thinking of Alis, and feeling guilty!

Antonio - what young-looking feet you have! Do you moisturise?

Pad Day 1 , Grey day, bit too humid and got quite breezy so left the garden and took a walk in the park, and there you go, there's always something out there....

Well done Chriss! Is the train still in use, or is it just on static display?
