If I didn't know better I would have guessed that was the early days of Ryanair at Stansted, complete with the obligatory mad rush to get seats next to one another.Horse wrote: ↑Sun Mar 07, 2021 8:44 pm 20210307_204202.jpg

Re: utterly random picture thread.
With the exception of the puddle jumpers used up here all the planes I've flown on have had seats next to each other.

As my ol' mum would say, you know what I mean and you're just being 'cussed'.

Probably not if they told the crowd they'd dropped their bombs on the English.

Don't worry. I'll look at it, then close my eyes for three seconds, then reopen them.
There! Saved you a whole load of running around.

Re: utterly random picture thread.
When you do, take the photo in the last hours of daylight (or first hours of day) as the light will be much warmer and the shadows longer giving more contrast to the land etc.

Re: utterly random picture thread.
Can you work out, from the shadows on the ground, whereabouts the sun was?
As Tp says, if the sun is higher you won't get the same effect.
It looks misty in the far valleys, do you tend to get that in the mornings?

Re: utterly random picture thread.
Hasn't that got a name like "the photographers magic hour" or something?
Edit of the Edit: I was half right the first time, Golden Hour = After sunrise, Magic Hour = just before sunset

Re: utterly random picture thread.
Yes, exceptions to all rules not withstanding, but if you think of any notable views/vistas, you'll often find photographers queuing and jostling for the best positions before dawn breaks or as the sun starts to drop. People often think bright sunshine is great for photography, but generally speaking it isn't, it can be an exposure nightmare as you'll often get flare (no data) etc. Its why Bride, Groom and families love sunny wedding days, but wedding photographers don't! They often prefer the sun behind cloud to get a nice even diffused light, etc blah. A lot of pro photographers know a fair bit about meteorology and use it for good effect...Trinity765 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 11, 2021 9:19 amHasn't that got a name like "the photographers magic hour" or something?

Yep. Golden Hour, or as I know it, the hour when your teenage daughter disappears on holiday to take a few thousand selfies to post on social media, complete with mandatory 'Insta-pout'.Trinity765 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 11, 2021 9:19 am [
