The holiday lens thread (and GetCarter's pics) got me thinking, between us we must have some cracking shots of foreign climes - I'd love to see them to dream about the places I can visit in the future :)

By "myself" I've only ever been to Egypt, but I humbly submit a couple of pictures that I took last year (not that great I'll admit) :

Sunset over the Red Sea, most of them look like this.

I guess you know what these are.

The longest straight I have ever driven down.

San Francisco.

They're all straight from the camera which is why most of them are wonky!

I love the sunlight and the snow in this photo. I'm somewhat less enamoured with the rossya (or however you spell it) ugly hotel in the background. Thankfully they are knocking it down. This church is near Red Square in Moscow, on the edges of the really nice Kitai Gorod district I think.



And I am really pleased with this photo of the sunset along Nevsky Prospekt in St Petersburg. I had to stand in the road with all those cars racing towards me to take this! It was rather scary. I like how the overhead cables are sort of a feature of the picture rather than a nuisance as they normally are.



I have more but they are on my PC in sussex. I need to bring them home with me this weekend

I like everybody else's photos too.


edit: oh yeah, more photos (not very good at all, I didn't really have a clue how to compose a photo a few years ago) at www.dange.co.uk

A couple from the southern hemisphere...

The 12 Apostles (or at least a few of them):




And maybe this could go in with the oddities, the safety briefing didn't last long on this flight...!

Hmmm I've been busy lately, but perhaps I'll finish PSing my Bermuda shots...

A bit of work, as they are all in RAW, and for a few hundred of them I had a speck of dust in the middle of my sensor.

*Gets to work...*

Ljubljana at night (numpty didn't notice he got the wall in the corner)


Bit chilly on the way down


Take a closer look


Open to critisism. The night shots are hard with a little Ixus.
