December Photo Thread

After dinner mint, and a heart attack.

Inspired by watching Joel Meyerowitz in action with his Leica on the streets of New York in one episode of the BBC's Genius of Photography series, I popped down to Borough Market yesterday, whacked up the ISO and shutter speed, turned off the review function on my camera so I wouldn't be tempted to chimp and consciously tried to shoot from the hip a bit more.

Some time since I've been out and about

was shortly moved on from this spot - apparantly tripods are not allowed after a cyclist injured themselves on one ....

So they'll be banning cars from central London too will they? Lovely shots tho.

Some great shots there from cybertect too. It was inspirational that prog wasn't it.
 
Now, Cybertech, those are damned good photos. Raw, true, real life. Great man!!

Difficult to say which is my fav ... but it doesn't matter. Guess I am gonna have to get satellite TV so I can start watching BBC and BBC Prime et al again.
 
Yeah, i'm liking them very much cybertect. I saw that episode of Genius of Photography- couldn't beleive how close Meyerowitz was getting and how long he was getting away with it! With that bald head of his he doesn't exactly blend into the crowd either, what a ballsy guy.


Here's a couple from Wincanton races the other day:

The other thing was that he came across as quite a nice guy, someone you'd like to meet - unlike William Eggleston, for example, who I wouldn't fancy spending an hour chatting over a pint with.

I like the first one. So many interpretations of that gaze.

Downtown Chicago

Is that taken from the Amoco (AON) building? It looks like it's a bit further south than the John Hancock Centre and the only one I can think of that's tall enough to put you nearly level with the Sears Tower and looking down on the Chase Tower.

I really enjoyed Chicago when I was there for a couple of weeks about ten years ago.
 
Some December ones from me, up in the Lake District:

Got a fair few but the filesizes are a bit high.
 
The colours in those first two are awesome, especially on those rocks, looks like you got some nice light that day.

It's a very proffesional looking set of images.

Says who? who exaclty says? and more to the point, has the authority to say so?.
I fucking hate bollocks like this. We should all be read up & be fluent about our rights and confidently be able to tell these arseholes to go and fuck themselves :mad: :mad:

I agree, absolute horseshit reason.

Unfortunately, it's private land owned by BA-London Eye since County Hall was sold off. They can set what rules they like for photography.

Quite a bit of the South Bank is private property as well isn't it?
 
This country is becoming farcical. Not allowed to take pictures of tourist attractions. Large swathes of the south bank privately owned. Authority figures allowed to stop and question you, take details and fill in forms but little else.
