Sponsor


C'est moi

The kind soul who sponsored me with a Flickr Pro Account. I still can't believe it as I'm his THIRD 'benefactor' I think!

He's only 30, has 3 sons, and the youngest, 4, is slightly autistic. He's also studying part-time I believe.

Such kindness and generosity is hard to find these days.

Tranquil

a walk in the countryside, a stroll on a country lane - one of the things that I would love to do!

I realize the "original" size of this isn't very clear at only 10% of the full size. There's also a better resolution at 20%.

How can you find yourself there? Lachie has built a People Finder! Check it out!

Bellingham, Washington.

Great photo-editing. Vivid colours.

Intriguing space.

Hotel Laube building in Bellingham, Washington. This building currently houses the 3B Tavern.

Those who regularly have watched my photo stream over time might notice I'm doing more photos in color, and am producing images that are more colorful and saturated than before. This is the influence of Special, who has really inspired me to become more skillful with colors.

I'm regularly using a process which simulates the look of a print from Velvia film, boosting the intensity and saturation of colors in a very particular way. I'm also spending more time working with individual channels, to produce the best range and brilliance in color. And finally, I'm often switching to Lab color mode and tweaking the lightness channel. In general, I'm just giving photos more time and attention than I used to, and I've gained a lot of knowledge which is serving me well.

And please bear in mind that I'm somewhat red-green colorblind. That makes working with colors a difficult, imprecise thing for me.">

I like the caption.

This Flickrite from Lisboa, Portugal passed away soon after he posted the photo online. Very sad. Only 42 years old.

some engineering feat here connecting split level apartments - the space here would have been bland if not for the greenery that has made it a much much nicer, human place. More colourful flowers and plants would be great.

great lighting and sharp, clear architectural details; I like the resulting plain sky blue patterns, in contrast to the lit up interior details

Good for exercising. I wouldn't mind trudging up and down this - in temperate climates, where the summer's c o o l, unlike in the tropics.

Originally uploaded by gingiber.
yes, I remember this unforgettable event over 20 years ago. Colourful fireworks shot into the air from the Castle, and this one 'waterfall' fireworks down the slopes. View from Princes Street Gardens, where the whole city would have gathered to watch this extravagant annual event of fireworks to usher in the New Year.

Edinburgh Old Town, down the Royal Mile.

The Tolbooth was the place where toll was collected in the olden days I think.

Lovely afternoon in the gardens
