LOL! Doh!

This is what happens when you think you have black and white film in your camera, and use an orange filter. But it turns out you have colour film in there! LOL! Doh! [doh]

I was lining up a shot when three policemen and women came flying past...

I messed around with saturation of various colours, but could only get a sickly green...

I don't know...as soon as I start taking some pride in my work, I do something as dumb as this. Jeez.

... Funnily enough I was thinking about putting a colour film through with a red filter ...
Look up rollei redbird film ... This sorta thing is actually quite trendy I'd say
one mans dumb is another mans ... ....

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Oh, in that case...I meant it!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Ha! I thought so!

 

[Jim Kuo]

The first one is awesome!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

It is? Well, I never...Thanks, Man In The Hat!

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

Yeah, Jim is right - awesome... 1st one, Rob! Send it to Al Gore - The Global warming has arrived! It's warmer here for sure... I agree with Hamish - A perfectionist's dump is any man's treasure.

 

[Adam Lewis]

Yeah, I think they look great! My faves 1 and 3! And I like the flare in 4

 

[Beth Carter]

wonderful colors and tones in #4.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Oh, well, you've all got me 'warming' to them. It was certainly a beautiful, very sunny day - I just can't remember it being THAT sunny!

 

[Pete Askew]

Actually, I quite like the effect too and it does nice things to the contrast! The first one does have something rather special to it, especially with the colours in the flare. And I like the blurred cyclists.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I'm still not sure I like them, but my opinion has softened.

 

[Kev Pugh]

And your problem is??? Like the flying squad, and the B&W work well and there is nothing Dumb about any of them, in fact go out and be dumb again ;-)

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Just watch this space...
