April's Photo Competition - Theme Water

[Skettios]

I don't go for all this post count malarky but should you think that important Marmers I reckon the members area 100 post count is a fair barrier ... sorry to anyone who posted pics in this thread with less than 100

How about a reasonable join date. I try hard to post only when I have something valid or reasonable to say... wouldn't be fair to be penalized for not shooting my mouth off all the time.

[Skettios]

So the entry for the photography competition is a pic taken by someone else.

OK, understood.

I used a timer.

[Bobcock]

Fair play, you run fast I'll give you that.

You'll get my vote just for being super human.

[English Noodles]

I used a timer.

[slunky]

How do I get to post some photos????

[Takeovers]

I used a timer.

The two-legged, long haired kind, right?

I like those too.

[beano]

Go to the newbies forum on this board, there are several "how to" threads there.

[slunky]

OK...let's give this a try...all I have are Sonkran pics, so here they are [IMG][/IMG

[slunky]

nice pic FF.

It certainly looks idyllic, but it's lacking that cetain oomph factor, if you do not mind me saying so.

that last one is good!

[friscofrankie]

Have no intent of being competitive. We rode through two forest fires on either side of Mae Hong Son to get to this point. The haze was inescapable until we hit the valley again.
The first pic is reduced to post on a webpage with text. This was my favorite snap of the series taken while on a roadside break.


Ya see? now you got me disqualified

first one looks slightly on the skew, or is it just an illusion?

[friscofrankie]

Think it's an optical illusion. looked fine to me, until you mentioned it. I checked the full res photo there are some small dams with water flowing over They're level in the pic.

Photo might have had more "oomph" if I wasn't so lazy and had climbed down closer to water level. We were on a ride, ostensibly, to map routes and shoot photos, so? We were also on the ride for fun. More fun to ride than to shoot photos. Last of four days, about 350-400k to make before sundown over familiar and unfamiliar roads... I just wanted to get on the road.

Pictures that are related to water taken this month.


Picture is of a part of South Beach, Florida taken during the morning.




Picture taken early morning from Key West, Florida.





Picture taken while on Key Biscayne looking at Miami, Florida.



These pictures are not intended for competition (because they were not taken in Thailand). I just had some water related photos that I thought I would share.

I thought they were great Frankie, caught the relaxing nature of Asian rivers very well.

Tough crowd today Frankie.

Nice pics.

[Takeovers]

Some pictures taken today. Not Asia related because of my location.

I present five pictures. The first three are for the competition, if I have to choose now. Couldn't get myself to present only three.

First one a duck about to touch down.


Second a fountain


The third one "Waterboarding"
The title was not my idea. Some other visitor had the idea.




Number four


Number five Rainbow



Hope you like them

One addition to the duck photo

The duck has landed. The same duck as above, a few seconds later.

[Looper]

The duck has landed

Is that like some 'Dad's Army' version of a World War II battle movie

Very good photos. Good timing with No.1.

[Takeovers]

It's a reference to "The Eagle has landed"

Edit: Maybe I should add for those too young to remember. That's the words when the first lunar lander, the Eagle, touched down on the moon.

Very good photos. Good timing with No.1.

Thank you. I was lucky there. Also I like the mirror image in the lake. And the reflections of the invisible bushes on the shore gives some structure to the otherwise empty water surface.

[Takeovers]

Some songkran pics:

I like the Songkran fotos, especially this one.

Nice pics, TO, especially of the duck and the rainbow.
