lambroving Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share #21 Posted July 10, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) John, Much obliged. Since a photograph is really all about the light, it's often being in the right place at the right time. The gear seems to take care of the rest. I also like the 3-D in this shot which is a characteristic of the 35/2 ASPH. You are so right about this warm light too; it is so foreign to Americans. At this time in June the sun was not setting until nearly 22:00! The best we do west of NYC is maybe 20:30 around 21st June. I can recall driving back to my hotel after dinner on many evenings without needing headlamps. Everything is so still at that hour. It's a very strange sensation.

andybarton Posted July 10, 2006 Share #22 Posted July 10, 2006 What latitude are you at William? I can't imagine what it must be like not to have summer evenings and winter mornings. The sun rises at around 3:30 am this time of year and there is still light in the sky at 11 pm if it's not cloudy. I would hate it if the days were truncated.

wda Posted July 10, 2006 Share #23 Posted July 10, 2006 William, Poles apart, I like the combination of static and moving vessels. It shows life on a canal. So often people settle for purely static scenes. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share #24 Posted July 10, 2006 Andy, Nearest village, 2 miles away, 40.92N -74.85W. David, Thanks, appreciate your comment..., and as for the poles, I could not duplicate those relative angles in five frames over ten minutes from different positions unless they were there, regardless of what some may think. Perfect, no, but do they lean, yes. Call it "a high wind in Jamaica"! As you know, narrowboats don't come along every few minutes, but as I walked down the road from the pub because I was early for dinner, I heard that muffled "chug, chug, chug" in the distance and just waited for the boat to round the bend. Just at the pub there is a Telford lift bridge and I watched them figure out how to raise that too! Most amusing... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_peter_m Posted July 10, 2006 Share #25 Posted July 10, 2006 William, Maybe I can solve the leaning poles problem ...... call the hydro office and get them to straighten them Kidding a side if you look at the one pole it has a guy wire trying to keep it straight so there probably is a lot of strain towards the canal, chances are the pole is leaning. Same with the second one and they didn't add a guy wire there so it would be leaning a bit more then the one further away. Nice images I like them both Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

imported_peter_m Posted July 11, 2006 Share #27 Posted July 11, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) You are welcome William, Not in the Diplomatic Corps but I been around power lines long enough to know them poles are not always as straight as they are supposed to be Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
