Its annoying, as i can never post decent photographs on the forum.
Ive always taken photographs in their RAW state, at the highest resolution possible.
Everytime i try and send a photo by email, it tells me the file is too large, and it rejects it.

Taking photographs in JPEG or a lower resolution never looks as impressive as when the photograph uses every pixel available.

I may give it another try, as i have some lovely photographs of my walks above Dyffryn.

You could use a program like Photoshop to reduce the overall size, which is what I use.

There are others out there,

Stunning composition, great photo.

Thanks,

Have walked by this place several times and not realised what fantastic view lay below us.

I am finding that a lot nowadays, in my youth I used to be very task orientated and walk round with blinkers on, nowadays even when I go back to the same old, same old I take the blinkers off.

During this week




This technique takes two minutes to explain and a lifetime to master so here is one of my first attempts.



 We had an inspirational couple of lectures at our Photography club, one guy had some of the best bird photos I have ever seen, we are talking BBC quality, something I will never be able to match.
 
The second guy was all about different techniques with the camera, cut a long story short we were out the next day on a walk round Brimham.

Imagine


Eek Just looked at my last few entries on here and they are all all landscapes so here is something a completely different.

 

 
I was struggling with ideas for my first ever 'Altered Reality' photo competition.

 
I have always said that one of the very best things about Mountaineering Club huts is that you meet fantastic interesting people, So we are staying over on a walking trip in the Lakes and this guy turns up, he's got plenty off like most scousers. A fellow climber, an artist and a builder who has been a millionaire and lost it all, we hit it off straight away.

 
He lets it slip that he used to be a John Lennon lookalike when he was a lad, he was 64 at the time, I looked closely and see a vague likeness BUT hey non of us have ever seen a photo of a middle aged Lennon. The wheels in my mind start whirling round and I ask him if I take take a portrait of him for an altered reality project and he agrees.

 
I processed the photo, the number 64 stuck in my mind and called it 'Imagine' 

 
I rarely put any comp photos on here, this one got nowhere but it was my first attempt at altered reality and its got a good story..................

Beautiful Autumn photo,
I walked today to a favourite bridge, as I approached a circling heron made as if to land in the river near the bridge, tethering Mrs BWW who would stride straight on, then look about, I merged into the hedge and cautiously tried to find a view up the River Roden. I could not see the Heron but a flash of red drew my eye to a gate a few yards up the river and we got a full on view of a kingfisher sitting on it, too quick to photograph we were treated to a fully visible flight up stream and then a few moments later it flew back down stream giving an electric blue flash that was again too quick for me to catch on camera.


So I had to make do with a slower moving subject to capture my autumn colours;

Thanks for the feedback guys, as I said non of us have ever seen a photo of John Lennon at 64 we can only 'IMAGINE' what he would look like........

autumn?

Yes Autumn the photo was taken 4/11/2015 and entered in a altered reality comp a couple of weeks later.

Mark have you ever come across Chris Sowden, one of the top Leeds climbers.  Now he was a ringer for Charles Hawtry.
