You titled the photo "She had blue hair", yet the photo is in B&W.Am I the only one who feels a bit cheated here?
It was really really bright hair, it seemed a shame to not mention it in the title.
EDIT: Here's the original shot
She had blue hair (Colour) by Schtumple.

I like this a lot. The blue colour is striking, the composition is interesting and there is movement which keeps it interesting. Above all, there is fish
Thanks, I'll look at toning the blue down a bit.

i was busy taking pictures of the leaves and the pigeon landed on the wire so i took a few shots.
I hope you don't mind, but this is now the lock screen on my iPad.
For that photo it was extended to 16 feet. Normally I have it set to 12 feet because 16 can get sketchy on certain cars.
Here it is (12 feet). The viper is a friends, the white one is mine. Just a standard setup (2 suction cups and super clamps, but the boom arm is modified)
Yeah the mounting was interesting. Mounted window to window (front glass to back glass) and the rig came out about 2-3 feet in front of the car.
This is the cool stuff I want to see as a photographer! Well as much as the final photo too! Did you build that yourself or buy it somewhere? I remember seeing a place to buy from online but they are insanely expensive.

Wow, not only light blue hair, but a matching blue wall! And with an orange guitar for some counterpoint. I can't imagine why in the world you decided to dump the color! That scene is a real find--very well seen, but the color is what really makes it. I think it's best to do a black-and-white conversion when you gain something by losing the color, either because the color is weak or else because it's distracting. In this case, I'd run with the color, making it nice and punchy and allowing your viewers to revel in it.

OK, here you go: For starters, the light is quite harsh. It looks like bright, midday sun, which washes out colors and gives harsh shadows. Also, with the strong lines pointing us out to the horizon, it's a pity there is nothing out there to entertain the eye; some nice clouds at sunset would be great in a composition like this.
Little Langdale...
Wonderful. You've been on a roll lately.
Bali, the male Sumatra tiger at the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium. He has fathered three litters of cubs. Two in California and the current one here. The big guy has cancer, but is responding well to chemotherapy. He goes off for an MRI shortly. Wonder how they do that on 250 lb. cats... The photo is a bit fuzzy but I like the character.

Little Langdale...
Very nice, peaceful shot. But I can't help wondering what it would look like if you hung one of those car rigs on the critter
Well, I suggest you give it up
Spoken like a true Englishman... still chuckling. I am sure the poster will learn the meaning of dynamic range and eventually apply the tool as needed.
I was testing a new software called HDR Expose by Unified Color. They stress using HDR for natural results but it has the capability to get into the artistic (as well as overcooked) results. I shot the image below with 9 exposures (only using 5) to deal with the extreme desert noonday sun. I was very pleased with the detail in the deep shadows and highlight areas while retaining a good natural contrast. Not the most scenic but it shows that HDR can help deal with a high range of light levels. The detail is in the Olive Tree as well as the concrete and shaded/highlight areas.
BTW, I have no commercial interest in Unified Color... just a user.
on the front porch. there will be a ceiling fan once we find the right one.
If there was an award for most inane subject, I think you'd have it locked up!
