hi
Bet you all have been wondering whats happened. Well its simply been a case of pressing wrong buttons so now hopefully we are all friends again lol!. I also had to completely bomb my picasa as it was slower than greased snail pooh!!. So i uploaded it again and all is ok!!.most of my thread pics are back on again.But theres also flickr too if you so wish to entertain yourselves !!.Right thats the boring bit out the way and now for some fun he he.. Its that Autoworks shot again, yea yea i know i am getting a little obsessed with it but its different, a little de crarification and contrasting, looks a bit spooky really damn!! should have used it for last weeks assignment.
Number two is of some punts on Magdalen Bridge, these get shot to death in Oxford so its not too different -or is it??
Well three is another familiar sight in Oxford Radcliffe square and trying to to fit three objects into the frame, thats the Radcam on the left.
The fourth well ive been saving this juicy one as it is Headington Hill Hall the former Oxford home of the notorious Robert Maxwell.I went for a stroll with my friend who had worked in the Design team there, boy did she have some stories to tell but i aint telling you only that some pretty famous people hung out on that lawn. Mrs Maxwells very expensive french wallpaper is still there in her former study, i shouldnt think the students or staff barely give a a second glimpse, shame as she had remarkble taste.
Theres something very different about all the photos on this thread, il'l let you ponder on that
i thank you for stopping by lol!!

greased snail pooh?????? Do I want to know what that is or how you found out how slow it is???? Nah!!!! I'll skip that. Ok, sorry I have a sick sense of humor. Anyhow I love these shots, especially the last one. Beautiful hall, house, or whatever it is. Do people live there? Talk later, Shirley

These are really nice shots...like them all.

These are great, I love them in B&W. The one of the Punts is cool, it's like a parking lot for boats instead of cars. And the one of the Headington Hill Hall is very impressive, I like the perspective with the stairs in the right hand corner. It is great to see different things other countries have, it's like travelling from the comfort of your own home. TFS these great pics.

hi shirley
i forbid you to have the sick sense of humour. Greased SP is another form of expression as opposed to greased weasel pooh meaning very very fast. My picasa was slower than snails-ohh never mind lol!!. No people live in the house it belongs to the council who rent it to Brookes University.
Thanks for posting the hall seems very popular, nobody has noticed anything yet about the photos
cheers mike

Mike, these are great shots - I love the graininess in them. The first I like the most technically, but the fourth is my favorite as far as subject matter goes - very gothic and romantic looking and it makes me want to read a book about the people who live there! Still pondering what is different

another fine set Mike .. did you add noise to the 3rd? very nice one and all.. my fav is the 2nd .. 4th down, time to punt
