Anyway. Haven't done this in a while, but snapped a nice one at Tatton Park yesterday.

Tried. There's literally no detail left there. I could paste a nice sky in, but that would be a disgrace against my house and my name.

Tatton Park is where I did my epic bungee jump </random fact>

Nice place! But when shooting bright sky scenes remember to expose for the highlights - that is, underexpose a little. It's always easier to bring detail back in shadows than in burnt out areas. Funnily enough, film works best the other way.

Oh! Cool, I forgot about this thread.

Here's one I've been tinkering about with for ages lately. It still looks kind of unreal but it's the best I could get it. My stab at a sort of Mary Ellen Mark kind of photo I guess. Taken back in Pennsylvania. I'm torn on it. I like the content, but there's something slightly off - and I can't put my finger on it. Anyway, might post more here soon...

Something a bit different today: A photosphere of the most 'University' part of the Univeristy

I'm a bit fond of this snap that I just snapped in the virtually deserted university.

A buddy of mine was the sole overnight security guard for an abandoned asylum. The only place with power was the outside lighting and the security room. The toilet was on the second floor, so you had to take a torch. I went down to see him there a few times. Fucking NOPE.

If he was on his own in an abandoned building... surely the toilet was wherever he wanted?

It was abandoned but owned (hence the security) - I don't think they'd be terribly pleased if the place was full of turds.

I'm now thinking of 'Nightingales'. I know I obtained a video of it when I was 12, but can't remember anything else about it, other than it was awesome with sauce.

So one of the Epsom cluster. Heh.

I have friends who were into urbex of abandoned asylums. Mainly Coulsdon, but also went to Netherne (once, refused to ever go again, never explained what the Netherne incident was. Apparently it was shit your pants creepy though.) Once they closed, I think they checked out the various Epsom buildings. It amuses me to think that your friend may once caused a certain amount of pant wetting far for them.

Always used to love hearing the stories, some are damn creepy though. No way I could've joined them, would've given me a heart attack.

Just had a few days up in the lakes, really nice dark skies where we were, so I thought I'd try and take a picture of some star trails. You can make out the plough and see how the two stars at the end point towards the pole star which I couldn't quite get into the shot whilst keeping the The Old Man Of Coniston in the frame. I think this was about a twelve minute exposure:

Considering it was pretty late and I was quite a few drinks deep by this point I'm happy with how it turned out.

Need to start using my camera more again. Phones are ok for taking snaps but pretty wank really.

Couple of test shots with my new phone, including some slo-mo video: https://photos.app.goo.gl/1mdjwyzHgh5if5Rf1

Can't inline them, Beex is being shit about rotation and uploading etc etc

Can't make any of them upload, I wonder if beex is upset about the file size (north of 10Mb each)

How does the Note 8 compare with the 7 Plus camera wise?

I had a picture I took on plus printed out at Tesco of my son looking cute in the local woods and framed for my mother in law. Was very impressed at the colour quality given it was from a phone.

Would really like to get into SLR etc but have no time, also find with kids the phone captures the "moments" far better as you have it on you most of the time, so just base my phone choices on the best camera these days.

Sadly work just pulled any and all Android phones from the catalogue so have to stick with Apple

Thanks! There's some making lemonade out of lemons in there. We didn't have the best weather; October in Scotland is dicey enough without a hurricane landing during the trip. But I kept the camera handy for occasional breaks and was rewarded with some impressive God rays. As our very own Gill said to me, moody skies suit Scottish landscapes.

We flew to Inverness, went to Aviemore for the day, then drove to the Isle of Skye, down to Oban, across to Gleneagles, and finally to Edinburgh. This turned out to be a pretty good route as the drives between those places are very beautiful and pass lots of interesting stuff like the waterfalls at Killen.
