Pictures Taken By you...

That is an interesting perspective on darkness, North Star.

[Tyrion Cheddar]

You've been pondering about that, have you?

Don't get ponderous, North Star.

Tyrion, wot intends to keep this up as long as possible

P.S. I love that staircase photo, as with all your "studies in darkness." I bet all the goth chicks dig you.

Thanks, Tyrion.

All of my "studies in darkness"? Very nicely put, I would very much like to know what photos you're referring to.

I don't want goth chicks digging anything for me, thankyouverymuch

That makes one of us. I used to love me some goth chicks fierce. As for my reference, ain't you the guy who posts all them black and white shots featuring shadows, light and darkness? Sure y'are. And don't think I didn't recognize the Ponderosa, you pondweed. :-0

"[S]hadows, light and darkness" - Well, is there anything else? I suppose those dried flowers, sinister, gloomy, cloudy scenes might appeal to a goth chick. Fair enough. There's no denying that my photography is steeped in Romanticism. I tend to forget that not everyone thinks of that stuff as so elemental to photography. Some evidence from the beginning of my serious photography hobby.

It's been rough recently.

Or perhaps pundering?

Good picture of Smiths Cove. Long Exposure, that must have taken quite a bit of experimenting. Great result.

It occurred to me that if I had taken this photo with my phone, I would probably have deleted it, figuring I didn't hold the camera still enough, but it looks like you did this on purpose and it is rather interesting. How did you get this effect? Just shake the camera?

That's it.

Without a mobile phone, I still don't understand how only the bottom of the photo was shaken.

That's because the whole image is shaken, and not just the bottom. The flowers are closer so the movement is more obvious than in the out-of-focus curtain in the back.

Ah, that explains it: thanks, North Star.
