Like Pete I find this topic very interesting, particularly because I hadn’t thought about it at all until Mike talked about it in relation to the ice-trapped rock. Here are some random thoughts. I’ve talked mostly about drawing as a parallel to photography as I’m so new to the latter. The...

You have *got* to get out of the city more often! ;) Thats a male chaffinch and a pair of house sparrows, and wonderful photos of all of them if I might say. Can't account for the lack of cats in Wales though... Cheers, Kate

Well, my instant response was "Ooooo" but Chris got there before me :) That's a smashing photo. Love the symmetry and the colours. Very unusual composition which works beautifully. Cheers, Kate

Thanks Chris, I like those gentle colour variations in Darren's waterfall so much that I was hoping to be able to mimic a similar effect when using an ND filter. And what you say about brighter conditions makes perfect sense. I'll just have to experiment, but a lot of what I'll be doing will be...

That party's no secret, you know. I saw him lurking in the bushes almost every day....he should have turned his name off ;) Oh.....hello Hamish. Welcome home :)

Excellent shot! I keep seeing all manner of figures and faces in the stones. Hope it's not just me :) It looks as if they're waiting for something to happen. Beautiful clouds too. I don't think they need to be any more dramatic than they are or they'd compete too much with the stones. Looking...

Very good image. My eye enjoys following the descent and the main body of water has an intriguing gesture that reminds me of one of Duchamp's Nudes (descending a staircase). Also like the subtle changes of colour in the water and the curves of the aurora-type veils. If the scene had been more...

:) What's an iPhone? No, seriously, I've led a sheltered life. I've never had a mobile phone and have never been in a Starbucks. There isn't even a McDonalds here because we didn't want one, however I think it would be worth campaigning for a Starbucks just for the moths. But I wouldn't drink...

Don't stop him, for goodness sake. He's on a roll this morning ;) His last few posts brought the first smile of the day to my face... As for the moths I need to find a dead one too as I can never get the contrary B's to lie on their backs for me when they're still alive. I like those photos a...

Beautiful sunset (especially with the secondary reflection on the underwing) and really good composition in #1. Love the softly converging lines of wing, river and horizon. Being up there really accentuates perspective and vanishing points. Excellent photo of the plane. It also seems to show...

I’d certainly be very interested. I’ve not been doing photography for very long but have been drawing since I could hold a crayon, and have noticed many parallels between the two artforms. I’m not at all introspective so I've not thought about it before but you got me thinking about why we...

Ah, now I see your son too! Perception is an endlessly fascinating thing. When I worked looking down a microscope for a living I learned that no matter how vigilant you thought you were being it was still possible to entirely miss something that you hadn’t been trained to see. We’re all good...

*2, *3, and *6 for me :) That's a lovely series full of interest. It's raining here now and I've been enjoying looking at all the details. (It made me long for duck eggs :)). I could spend hours in a place like that but we only have two rather small-scale ones like that on the island, so thanks...

Ah! Thank you Pete. Guess we share the same sense of curiosity. I'd just found it too :) And such a coincidence that the only good one was filmed in Rudi's homeland But having heard written reports of them looking like Loch Ness Monsters in the water I have a strong suspicion that this one was...
