I must do better this year:D

Re: The all new, slap bang up to date 2017 photo a day
 

I say that every year......

Re: The all new, slap bang up to date 2017 photo a day
 

Sounds like my old school reports.......

That ham looks very tasty

Re: The all new, slap bang up to date 2017 photo a day
 

Yep, and i think that's what the cat is thinking too :-)

Re: The all new, slap bang up to date 2017 photo a day
 

I gave the cats a little bit of ham each, they sniffed it and walked off. Typical.

Re: The all new, slap bang up to date 2017 photo a day
 

Here's my first of the year. Got a better mobile for when I'm out cycling, so hopefully I'll take more photos & also report fecking dangerous potholes & the like, which I can't do on my current phone, as it doesn't have a camera.

So 'Der Sandman' a German children's puppet character, which is still shown on German Tv. A bit like our Magic Roundabout. This was a tin of buscuits

Happy New Year to everybody.
I've dug out my old Panasonic bridge camera, bought some new batteries & tried it out yesterday on the dog.

My first input here of 2017, taken on the last day of 2016 but... FIL was heading back to Shrewsbury by train after spending the festive period at Trev Towers and I volunteered to go with him to make sure he got across Brum OK as he had to change stations as well as train and he is after all 83. It felt odd getting on the train heading west instead of east towards London! Had a bit of a wander around after seeing FIL off at New Street and rather enjoyed the modernity of the library and the odd lizard skin-like exterior of the Selfirdges building on the edge of the Bull Ring shopping centre. Lots of people snap this place and from some angles it's hypnotic to the point of disorientation. But fun nonetheless.

Like the angle.

It's one of our funky buildings.

Nice shot Sir T. Did you visit the floozy in the Jacuzzi on your visit?

Re: The all new, slap bang up to date 2017 photo a day
 

It certainly is a funky building as Red Ones says and looks even weirder in the flesh, so to speak.

I did wander through Victoria Square John but the weather was so gloomy and there was so much scaffolding and signage going up for the NY Eve celebrations I did not get any shots of the Floozie. Will head back when it's warmer when I'll also have time to wander the canals and the jewellery quarter as well.

Designed by a Czech called Jan Kaplický with his then suppose Amanda Levete. He died a few years ago. Thet are the same team, Future Systems, who designed the media centre at Lord's which won the Stirling Prize. I worked with her a bit when we came to refurbish the media centre, she was very creative but didn't really understand that as well as looking good the building also had to be fit for purpose. She couldn't understand why it was a problem that the journos sitting on the back row couldn't actually see the cricket if we rolled down the fancy blinds she'd designed.

And another one of the moon, this time taken with a Tamron 150-600. Still didn't fill the frame but getting better.

Looks good John :) I end up cropping mine because I only have a 400mm lens.

Went out to take the dog for a walk this morning. Nice & misty, so took my old Panasonic bridge camera with me

Re: The all new, slap bang up to date 2017 photo a day
 

I still had to crop this image Colin. It's about a quarter of the original. Love the monochrome shot, I took one similar other day. Just goes to show that you don't need really expensive equipment to get good results.

Re: The all new, slap bang up to date 2017 photo a day
 

Didn't realise you could get cameras that were subject specific :---)

I missed the Bridge pun completely, doh! :)

My foggy day.

I think it works well. Yours looks like something from the cover of a horror novel, very moody

Re: The all new, slap bang up to date 2017 photo a day
 

It was taken through my front window. No effort required. The sun just happened to be in the right place 😉

I like that. Very atmospheric.

Re: The all new, slap bang up to date 2017 photo a day
 

You do get proper seasons there. My sister found the same when she lived in Washington.

Re: The all new, slap bang up to date 2017 photo a day
 

The UK won't get any snow this year, looks like the U.S is hogging it all.

It looks better monochrome

Re: The all new, slap bang up to date 2017 photo a day
 

Both look good, what time were you down there? I went down there about 4 PM, although I turned around before the Viewing area

Re: The all new, slap bang up to date 2017 photo a day
 

I was down there about 9pm

Re: The all new, slap bang up to date 2017 photo a day
 

A few from my now ancient Samsung S5.

Just a few minutes drive off the main road at Rettendon there's beautiful countryside for stroll. The jolly farmer who owns the land has even created a bench by the steam from a fallen tree that has beer holders carved into it.

You had better skies than we did today.

Re: The all new, slap bang up to date 2017 photo a day
 

Going to be -15 tonight.
I wish we didn't have proper winters.

This one is a bit fuzzy, as my mobile doesn't do low light :-)

Big full moon, on the sea tonight

Still a good photo. Simple composition which works.

Re: The all new, slap bang up to date 2017 photo a day
 

Thanks John, when i left the office the moon was so bright i thought id get a chance of a good sea shot. But as i drove along the seafront it was obscured by clouds, so i didn't think id get one. Just as i got near home, i could see it was going to appear, so headed the long way home, and got my chance for this photo.

Wish I'd had a good camera with me, but hey ho, thats what this thread is about

Re: The all new, slap bang up to date 2017 photo a day
 

The best camera is the one you have on you.

Re: The all new, slap bang up to date 2017 photo a day
 

Yep, better to get the shot, whatever the outcome

Re: The all new, slap bang up to date 2017 photo a day
 

It reminds me of a picture done in the pointillism style of painting Mav. A bit impressionistic too. I like it.
