Critique Welcomed Still testing

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

A little walk about 9 a.m this morning, still wondering if my 18 - 55mm WR lens is up to it. First one from atop the bridge, next one passing the shipyard on my way home and finally as I round the bend before home.

 

[Beth Carter]

well any lens that makes you get up and be outside at 9am is a fail in my book. unless you happen to be stumbling home from the local pub, but we all know you wouldn't do that at $15 a pint.

i think this is my favorite bridge shot so far, i like the silhouette and reflection in the water.

I love the cranes shot most of all, Ivar. Great angles.

Thank you Beth, I was actually coming home on the bus after shipping in my car for service. Earlier than 9 a.m at this time of year, it is absolutely dark as well as by 5 p.m. Summertime however, it doesn't get dark.

And I thought you to be the nature man Thanks Rob, did you see the norsemen working in the office?

I like the bridge, after all I am a practical man and it's handy to get to the other side. Is there a walk way on it or strictly for cars?

Office Vikings! Who knew...?

They must wreak havoc on the European business community during the marauding season.

I like the cranes shot, too, Ivar. I have a soft spot for cranes.

in Norway Julian, we all walk alot since driving cost the shirt off your back and yes, you can walk over as well as people have jumped from it, unfortunately with no success.

The information you have given in the last two posts which include the price of beer, it seems quite obvious that your government has a cunning plan to stop drink driving

The government win either way Julian, they tax it so much even the alcohol, is very highly taxed. Conclusion, a very good welfare system albeit this present government is not to be rewarded for it.

Love #1, great shot Ivar

 

[Pete Askew]

Gorgeous.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Agree with Pete - gorgeous!

Love the ripples in #1 and the way the water goes calm around the moored boats in the harbor

Thank you Pete and Chris and they were all done with a Pentax K30. A marvelous little DSLR.
