Photographer's Corner?

Just a thought, and in view of the talent within the forum with regards to photography (not me, sadly), what about a general gallery section, whether it be cars, characters or whatever?

I know it would be another section, but might be the sort of thing that would be nice to browse through on a rainy afternoon, and be possibly provide a source of images should the owner be happy?

Also, one thing that a friend of mine used to do as a weekly challange amongst his chums was a subject challenge. One of them would provide the title of the week: 'Speed', 'Decay', 'Light' or whatever, and then they all tried to capture an image that evoked the description.

Like I say, I know it might not be strictly what the forum is about, but it's certainly a related interest .....

Any thoughts?

Great idea Barry... we do the theme per week approach. Works very well and brings out the darker side of a lot of peeps too :shock:

Let's do it :wink:

Not many chances to photograph 'speed' around this forum but plenty of opportunities for 'decay'. :wink:

OK, Use this thread.

So week 1

Theme: Speed (let's start off with an easy one)

Rules: Post only photographs taken by your goodself. Ideally state what you've taken them with (and be a bit more specific than 'camera'). It would also be good to know if you've used any after effects, manipulation etc.

I'll pick a favourite each month and send a DDK goody pack to the winner!

OK then I will start. This is Richard Lepley/Ian Bevan on the Twiglees stage of the 2007 RAC Rally in their Porsche 911 RS. Taken with my Leica digilux camera.

Great idea for a thread though.

Non Porsche but I took this one at the Brit GP a few weeks ago with the replacement Nikon D70. Quite arty for me!!

step back folks, this is what its all about, taken with a Nikon D80, though I have done some jiggery pokery with it, which I think is quite subtle that even the pro's won't be able to tell.

I particularly like the motion blur

You wouldn't have guessed I have a BA (Hons) 2.1 in Design and nearly 15 years of the industry.

You snooze... You lose!
