Be Excellent To Each Other

I'm going to hazard a guess that's because they're both dams. Function pretty much dictates form, there.

That and the year that they were made...

Modern Dams are probably not made from Brick...

Dam right.

How do they hold the water back when they make them?

Silica gel?

Hmm... looks like a trap to me.

I'll pass

Instead, here's a picture of a dam what I done took with my camera.

They build a canal frome one place to another circumventing the build site.

A swarm of beavers is hired. They work in shifts, 24/7. Because beavers are smaller, they don't work standard shifts, but actually work 3 hour shifts, this means a lot of beavers are required. Sadly in the early 1900 when some of these dams were being built, unscrupulous beaver gang leaders would threaten the beavers into working multiple shifts in a day. The holding company either didn't care, or couldn't tell one beaver from another, and many many beavers died of exhaustion.

Cheers Bobby.

No problem. Don't believe Malc's answer, that's what they want you to think.

I've obviously fallen for their proper ganda

Malc

Do they use geese as well?

The Geese oversee the beavers

I misread this as a swarm of beexers

BTW did we ever decide what the group term is ?

(A beex/clique/meet of Beexers?)

Beaver is a slightly more polite word for Beexer, so it's understandable.

I think the collective noun for people that post here is "Beexers".

It is a bit rubbish - maybe we should think of another one.

Somebody can make a thread.

I have talked about this before, it seems.

Beetians.

Who's Ian?

Ian Beex invented Beex and gave the site to Grim...

Malc

Mods!

Yeeeeeesss?

Some old pics that I took with my Fuji F30 compact (just to stop the glut of chatter).

Fancy starting a new thread, Z?

That's excellent. Great contrast against the sky. Nicely composed too.

Thanks man. The original was not interesting, but it looked much better in B&W.

You can get prints on matt(e?) paper which B&W look sooo soo awesomes on. That would look amazing on such paper.

Someone was selling this on the market, I didn't find out the price because the bloke selling it got cross when he saw the camera.

Thought I'd posted this one t'other day... guess not

Followed a really strange tutorial, I no longer have any idea what the hell I think of this anymore.

edit: I have no idea about modern art type stuff, it all look awful to me.

I like it. Very Wild West. What where you aiming for?

It was one of those use PS to create old tyme photographs, the first time I did it it looks shockingly bad but then I rubbed the mirror with soapy water and created the smuge effect.

The old timey effect is ruined slightly by the oh-so-modern DSLR front and centre

Just had a go at another PS lesson

What she said.

You know you can lock threads and move them into different places right?

Thought I had locked it, but was on my phone, so obviously miss-pressed
