Yes, I'd like it a bit less centered but there was a whole heap of crap just above the sand dune - a road, old houses, overhead wires, etc., and it was bit of a struggle to hide them effectively. Maybe a different crop is needed. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1370864/eastwest/slides/_IGP3192j.html "Haunted" is an old house about 1/2 an hour's drive away - I keep meaning to go back and take a few more shots. I'm in two minds about that fence post - it adds some foreground interest but its deep shadow is the thing I dislike most. As for "Decay" in B&W, your wish etc..... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1370864/_IGP2380bw.jpg +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On Mon, 03 May 2010 08:59 -0500, "CheekyGeek" <cheekyg...@gmail.com> wrote: > How do I get in this "photographic black hole"? > I'd be very happy to have produced almost any of those images! > > Darren Addy Thanks Darren - it was fun dragging these out of the archives but as I've said before, these were 'pre" black hole. :-)> +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On Mon, 03 May 2010 16:04 +0200, "AlunFoto" <alunf...@gmail.com> wrote: > They are a fine collection. > Btw, I stumbled over your SOFOBOMO from last year.

If I can think of an appropriate topic this year I'll try to use the full 4 weeks and include a bit more scintillating text. Maybe SoFoBoMo is what I need to escape my event horizon. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On Mon, 03 May 2010 15:25 +0100, "Bob W" <p...@web-options.com> wrote: > > We should all have holes as black as yours. > > Some very nice stuff there.

Thanks for looking, Bob! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On Mon, 03 May 2010 08:44 -0700, "Larry Colen" <l...@red4est.com> wrote: > I'm late for work, so I'll just say that several of them are quite good. > > The problem is that there are several separate critical tasks in the > process: > photographer, editor, and processor. > > Sometimes you just aren't inspired, or on track for one of them. I think my problem is with the first of those critical tasks.... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On Mon, 03 May 2010 13:34 -0400, "Daniel J.

I like 'Blue Streak', too although it's a bit noisy in the large version.
