You might guess (correctly) that the first of these streets is Hollywood Boulevard. The second is a back street on the Freedom Trail in Boston and, yes, the white stuff on all of the horizontal surfaces is snow! The third, your average street in Bali.

Mike,

Golf is banned in this house!! It's more likely the remains of a mulberry leaf. Nessie (the dog if you didn't guess) is more than happy to spend the day chasing them around the back yard.

Here's an interesting concept. I hadn't really thought about HDR in Black and White terms but it turns out that B&W can benefit from the HDR process too. I've posted a bit about it on my blog (link in my signature) and will post the pre-process and post HDR process images that result in this one...

Thanks all

We have a bird sanctuary up the road from us that is inhabited mainly be White Cockatoos. This is an HDR shot of one of them taken the other day. Not necesarily of the same quality as the other bird-watchers that contribute here but I did it more as a demonstration that HDR doesn't have to look un-n...

Just everyone remember that it wasn't the Australian (well Kiwi actually) who said that!!

Great shots Birma, As Greg says, this type of architecture, and the history that accompanies it are absent from the Australian landscape. The original (European) inhabitants of Australia would have arrived here as the consequence of stealing a loaf of bread, or something similar, from a place like t...

For those feeling the cold, it isn't like that everywhere today. A900, CZ135mm, f2.8, 1/8000, ISO 200

OK, so it's a boring photo of an uninteresting sign and it doesn't bear comparison with the others posted as offerings to this challenge (particularly Philips which I think takes the award to this point!!).....BUT, it was the 6th photo I took after taking my new CZ 135 f1.8 out of the box when I got...

First things first. Happy New Year to everyone! I've decided over the course of the last month or so to amalgamate a range of sites we have been running and get them all into one place. I've finished the first part of the project so am interested in comments anyone might have. At the same time and w...

Thankyou all for the comments. I'm interested in any comments people have about the use of HDR. I played with it for a while and probably haven't played enough so I'm thinking I'll go back and do some more bracketing. Though I'm not a huge fan of HDR, I sort of like the idea of using it selectively....

Considerably smaller when compared with Lonnie's great salt lake.

Thanks Yildiz, the rest of the family feature in the last post on my blog - address in my signature for those who are interested.

I've probably already broken the rules for the number of entries in a challenge - sorry Aster!! Anyway, maybe a portrait by definition has to be of a person?
