Thomson and Thompson Visible Again, Pete!

[Brian Moore]

Another image from the Huntington Beach Pier on Monday. Canon F1 with Canon FD 28mm lens and Arista EDU 400 film developed in Rodinal.

And a Dodkin surveillance gull too as well as a few oil drums - certainly has all the right 'classical' elements!

I do like the lines of this one - a very pleasing composition especially with the guy in the foreground and the direction he is looking in. Nice bit of action blur on the hand / ball too.

Chris is everywhere it seems, Pete. If not in person then in the form of his airborne accomplices. Thanks for the comment, Pete.

Great shot Brian!
I love the story here with the chap watching the game, it really makes you wonder what is going through his head!

 

[Brian Moore]

Thank you, Hamish!

I had no idea what you guys were talking about until I looked it up and realized that Thomson and Thompson are the English names for the characters of Dupont and Dupond in Tintin. Learn something new everyday!

 

[Pete Askew]

I nearly used their original names the first time but figured that few would recognise them! I don't read / speak any more than schoolboy French but I am quite a fan of the boy-detective and know the original names. I recently saw the animated film and, despite my reservations, was mightily impressed. Looking forward to the next one. Have you seen it Darren?

 

[Brian Moore]

I confess I would not have recognized the French names.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Ahhhh (scratches head) I see.....

Nice shot Brian

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks, Chris.
