The Randorama Picture Thread

[Pete]

Kind of like a pictorial version of the tupperware and TPBM chat threads. Just use this thread as an excuse to post up whatever shots you have that don't really fit anywhere else (or are currently patiently waiting for a slot in a competition thread).

The idea's simple.

1) Post a random shot (reasonably good quality please, we have reputations to uphold)
2) Sit back and wait for coo's of pleasure..

I'll start (stylishly) with a vintage Rolls Royce Phantom...

Nice idea for a thread, Pete. ;) And a nice photo to start it off.

[Miniflash]

Is this a car from your day Pete ...LOL ...nice shot ..Wish it was mine

[cylentka]

coo coo coo :lol:

[Pete]

coo coo coo :lol:

You got the idea... But we need shots, not chatter... So post some... ;)

[cylentka]

I can't. You asked for "reasonably good quality". ;) :)

[cfpackerfan]

I can't. You asked for "reasonably good quality". ROFL!!

Well, I'm going to blatantly disregard that one rule, and post anyway. :lol:

Ok, here's a goofy little guy outside one of our local banks.

[cylentka]

ROFL Cat!

[Miniflash]

The Brits can build a nice plane Pete ..and you take nice pics ~very cool

[Pete]

Just a snapshot of the Rolls Royce engine really. I didn't really bother with any framing...

[Miniflash]

okay I'll give this a whirl ..This shot was taken of this sculpture which sits on my deck ..I was laying in bed and looked over and this is what I saw I thought it was Artsy looking ..

[Becky N]

Almost ghostly looking, Deb. I like it.

[tommykjensen]

A couple years ago my teamleader asked if I could take a few photos of his bike he had for sale.

http://photo.klein-jensen.dk/photo2.php?n=bikeart.jpg

[Pete]

That's nice Tommy. Great framing.

[Miniflash]

Thanks Becky ..Tommy thats a real nice composition ..and I love the reds and black

[cylentka]

I like the photo a lot too, Tommy. But a question comes to mind... if he was selling the bike, wouldn't he want photos of the entire bike? Or is that a girly thing to say? lol

[tommykjensen]

I like the photo a lot too, Tommy. But a question comes to mind... if he was selling the bike, wouldn't he want photos of the entire bike? Or is that a girly thing to say? lol

Well yes he did get other photos but this one is the only one I kept myself.

[Pete]

Fancy taking that bike round here, Tommy?

http://www.the-aperture.com/EE/photos/normal/7b4_IMG_1769.jpg

[tommykjensen]

I am sure my old teamleader would love that but myself I don't drive bike.

[jmwgomz]

http://photo.klein-jensen.dk/photo2.php?n=bikeart.jpg

Man, I miss my Ducati!! :cry:

[Miniflash]

[jmwgomz]

Sadly, no! :cry: But thanks!;)

Don't know why, but that pic was flipped.

[Flywing]

My son Shane; sat still long enough so that I could use the light from the window.

[Pete]

My mate Dave, who couldn't stand still for long enough to make this one work...

[Becky N]

Thought it would be interesting to take pictures every couple of days of the spirng flowers as they begin to bud and/or emerge. This one is of one of the tulips:

[Miniflash]

OOOOOOO I love that Becky ...Real nice composition and use of color and simplicity ~

[Miniflash]

wondering if I should clean up all the drool ...here<<?????

[Flywing]

This is Lefty he's 81 and very spry ;) He was over for coffee. I told him to comb his hair and dragged him in front of my new Bees. "Resistance is futile," Lefty!

[Miniflash]

Thats a real nice photo Wally he looks great for 80 he has one of those kinda faces where ya think ya know them

[Flywing]

That's a real nice photo Wally he looks great for 80 he has one of those kinda faces where ya think ya know them

Thanks Deb, this is the first of the session (too bright) and he was doubtful of the outcome but came around when the flash and camera started to rapid fire. It suddenly made him smile, (I think he smiles with his eyes) and he became animated and very ready to please. I don't believe he's ever see rapid fire flash in person especially aimed at himself.

[Chandler.]

Cool Wally. My great great uncle was over for dinner last week, celebrating his 97th birthday. His mind is really sharp, and he was telling us about his experience on the beach on D-Day. I don't have any Bees, so I just used available light.

[Pete]

Super shot, Chandler. I do love that lighting.

[Miniflash]

Chandler he looks great ,what a nice candid !

[Miniflash]

Here is a shot of my adopted mom ..mine has passed so I chose her to take the role ~She is 80

[Sonic Infidel]

After a garage fire at my apartment, I took this picture with my crappy HP318. (I didn't have my current camera at the time, obviously...)

With some heavy PP, I think it looks pretty cool.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v502/sonicinfidel/burntcar.jpg

[Miniflash]

That is pretty cool Sonic

[Chandler.]

I like it sonic.

[Sonic Infidel]

Thanks! Now that I look back at it, the framing is wrong and I should have taken way more shots and angles, but it's too late now...

[R_Metzel]

This is about as busy as Downtown gets here in Rapids. Technically not a great shot, but thought I would share it anyways. Lomo effect Via Beau's action.

And one more while I am at it.

[Sonic Infidel]

Oh snap! That second one is awesome! You captured the concrete texture very well, and the perspective is perfect. Well done!

This made me smile.....

[R_Metzel]

One of the photos of a project I just started called "Wheels of Motion" Just something for me to help work on panning and creativity as I have been lacking in the latter lately.
