Lossiemouth by VicBarnes

Very 'Whiskey Galore' landscape.Vic.
Forget all those overcrowded views of Spain and other tourist delights (Yuk!),real life is a bleak Scotish seashore untouched by human life.
Somewhere you want to escape away from the strains of modern living.

To me,it represents all those wonderful 1940s old B/W movies of post-war Britain,or touches of Rebecca or Jane Eyre in book form.

Karen Kaye by VicBarnes

Women in black leather,Vic,totally out of order.
You must ride around like the teens do,just a helmet,pair of shorts and NO TOP.

Gosh! I must be careful what I say here in case the vicar is looking in.

I'll secretly vote for this,so I'll do it in a HUSH!

wood pigeon by sparrowhawk

Sparrowhawk..if it had sat long enough your namesake would have made a meal of it if one was passing over.
Hawks are not fussy what they pick off..

Keep the shutter pounding-well his ticker would if he knew your nickname.

The 5th Beatle by VicBarnes

Good old George,you couldn't get anymore candid than this..
Ah!the smell of chemicals,the feel of film,and a touch of grain,a great combination,Vic.

Jodi Oram by VicBarnes

Totty I vote for everytime-they were my bread & butter in the industry.

Station Man by johnnyboy114

Over the years,me and my friend,Vic Barnes,go back a very long way in commercial photography working in the media,newspapers,magazines over many decades and our knowledge outstrips anyone else in this business.Our T shirts are worn through with the places and events,and people we have met along the way...

...Vic made a very good point there,it's a picture I would certainly considered for our news agency for sydication if I'd still been director and hadn't retired.

Animal pictures always sell.I'll vote just for that alone..

Keep up the good work.

Ramsgate 2 by pentaxian

Ah!..the colour comes up to the quality of a 5x4 trannie,I'll add a vote...of course I forgot,the picture is well composed as well.
The darn colour knocked me off my perch first of all...

Canary Wharf 2 by pentaxian

I believe they class this picture as coming under the state secrets act,sub section 5,para 13,page 15776. and two sugars.Highly classified.(Oh!and I take milk)
It's a wonder you escaped the city of London alive and can tell the tale,Pentaxian.

Not many do,and to actually bring a picture out of the concrete jungle of one's exploits is of great bravery.You should be mentioned in Queens dispatches.(Knighted perhaps).

I'll add my vote,although my name might be called to give evidence.

(to those not in the know,photography in the city is frowned on as you might be classed as a terrorist and trespassing on private property).

Shock,Horror,Probe...

Fill 'er up! by pentaxian

Long time since I've seen true water,Pentaxian.It's similar to the water I get out of the tap to fill the kettle.Most odd.
Like Vic said,always thought it looked like cotton wool when it flowed.

Thanks for proving everyone else is wrong and this is the TRUE effect.I do like the truth...

Regards.

Jay B by VicBarnes

Blonde,totty,sexy..I'll vote..

Pause for thought by Berniethephot

A good use of daylight-a tricky thing to do at the best of times.
Im giving this a vote not only because of the use of lighting,but it includes a human being,a subject matter many people avoid like the plague.

All round an interesting pose,now where's that box...

My Daughter by Berniethephot

..for your honesty of owning up...and in fact,I did like this picture because it's made it unique in style,and I would have thought if in the business of selling,mothers in droves would purchase this specialised picture of their children.

Although I've seen this done in the film industry it's the first time I've seen this effect on still portraits.

I like,and for all the comments above..

..and not to worry about the votes,remember photographing people is difficult and once you have mastered that,add your own vote to your CV as being a cut above the rest.
From someone that know,and photographed people for 60-years.

LIverpool Wedding by Berniethephot

Bernie..don't give up hope,at least you are honest and admitted you have 'photoshopped' this picture (just like your daughters),that I admire.
It's these 'others' elsewhere that never admit to things like this that make my blood boil.

For that I add my vote.

Snow Walker by pentaxpete

As it's a Hasselblad,Pete,and a CM at that,I'll add a vote.
All it needs is a tweak in photoshop with the sharpness button.Mine all need the same with 6x6 b/w.never fails.
Regards. H.

Helter skelter by pentaxian

Brilliant Colours,for that purpose..a vote.
