There should just be a Johhny Cannuk thread :p

I thought about it, with my holiday snaps, but I thought it would be overkill.

I've put a lot of pictures up, because I was on holidays, and therefore got a bunch of photos that interested me, and I thought they might be demonstrative to people in UK, what canada and canadians are like, in Western Canada, at least.
 
Fantastic sky tom and with the lifeguard one did you give it a long exposure to blur the clouds?

Here's one i took today at B&Q, look away if you're a bit squeamish....

That's exactly the sort of pic I'm interested in taking. Can you let me know what kit you're using as as I haven't had a camera for years.

Its nothing fancy, just a fuji finepix s7000. It's probably about 4 or 5 years old now so i think there's a newer version. Its a paltry 6mp but that goes up to 12 if taken in RAW then converted on the computer. It has a macro feature for taking close ups of a foot away or so, and then has a supermacro for getting a few inches away.

I like all the canada pictures btw.

Nearly as good as an aquaintances shot of a bluebottle...

Jonny are you pissed what taking photos they always look bleared (evening ones)

Somebody mentioned this a couple of pages ago...JC I am sure will respond but its planned.

Got loads to process from Bristol Balloon Fiesta. This is certainly one of the most boring!

No; maybe I should try getting drunk with the camera and see what happens... :D

Like most photographers, I take a lot more photos than I put up. The ones that I do, I choose because they impart the feeling or mood that I'm trying to imply with the photo, or because they impart the feeling that the original scene created in me.

It was like some sort of wakeup for me when I realized that a photo needn't be perfectly sharp, nor perfectly angled etc. For me, it helped a lot to enable me to make photos more like I wanted to make them.

I should edit to add in response to tom craggs: sometimes it's planned, sometimes it's a happy accident.

The 'unhappy accidents', never see the light of day.....
 
Lots of big lenses out for the 6am mass launch on Sunday at the Balloon Fiesta.

Loved the way kids balloons did their best for a bit of the limelight;
