Really nice set Andre.

I should get out and shoot something soon...
Thanks Rob....yeah, go for it. I've not seen a single shot you've posted where my jaw hasn't dropped. It's taken a few years but I do finally feel like I'm starting to feel comfortable with a camera now biggrin

Awful Rob.

I pity you having to commute to an office like that.

I assume you do commute - it would be too hard to think of you shivering in a tent every night ....

I am obviously lucky.

Visiting a client in the glorious canyons of Birmingham (UK) last week I have the pleasure of taking a full 45 mins to cover the last 4 miles, most of it on Motorways, some offering elevated views of serendipitous, formerly industrial, architecture that graciously matched the underlying theme of grey skies and grey tarmac and a generally rundown dampness that passes for late Autumn weather in these parts.

If there were photos to be taken they would mostly likely have to be snatched from a dashcam. Or a Google Streetview vehicle.

Come to think of it travelling the night before and taking a tent might well have been preferable to the morning commute despite arranging what I thought was a suitably late arrival time.

Another cracking shot Rob.

(No pun intended.)

Same here - except with a commute that would likely be like last week every day I might say gladly rather than sadly.

The place is fine once there but getting there offers no sideshow attractions at all.

While running past the pier last night I wasn't the only person to think it was going up in flames! Further investigation found a gang of hi-viz clad workmen were busy carrying out a spot of welding, causing sparks to cascade into the water. I tried to capture it.......and well, I tried! smile If you look closely they are there wink

Thanks - nice work yourself (btw - do you go running with a camera + tripod ?!)

The previous shot I took on what I thought was a derelict wooden jetty - but when I returned after half an hour to collect the camera I realised it was actually more like a floating pontoon and although it was flat calm I think it may have been moving very gently. Either that or the bridge itself was moving a bit. Anyhoo I was pleased enough as it was pitch black and scrambling about over frosty rocks + seaweed was a bit iffy to say the least hehe

Not the greatest by any means but it was gloomy (hence slow shutter + iso800) and shot through a mucky perspex screen so quite chuffed to have got anything at all! RX10 Mk3 btw smile
