Surely he got a new widget for his camera for his Chrissie present and wants to show it off?

Anyways, it's been a month and I for one have sunset withdrawl - since leaving Marlborough St, BB and I increasingly miss the prom and the beach.

I got a lovely sunrise picture on my mobile the other morning, all reds and oranges and suchlike

. Thought at the time that would be nice if Wangi was out getting a proper piccie of it - my mobile's all right, but hardly David Bailey.

Btw, do you know my name should really have been David Bailey, all goes back to a couple of hundred years ago and one ancestor getting someone pregnant he shouldn't have. Another relative of mine, from America, is right into gynaelogy (sp?).......anyway, I digress.

"Gynaelogy" - Freudian mis-spelling there, my dear!!

POL's law : No matter what the subject of the thread, it will soon turn into smut, puns and in-jokes.

Wangi both beautiful pics

You win, Wangi!

How so clear..? Surely not handheld? Mine was shot at 800ASA (as fast as my digital goes) but was hampered by being a relatively slow lens -- f2.8.

Typical photographers - none for ages then 2 arrive at the same time!

Looking forward to more of both of your stuff!!

Both great but I like Dakota's best (sorry Wangi, very close second!). Almost makes me feel Christmassy

Wangi gets my vote. The shot of Princes Street is excellent.

Dadaist · Post by **Dadaist** » 31 Dec 2005, 12:35

Knowing what an established photographer Dakota is, I know he won't mind if I plump for the black & white lights (fantastic idea and execution) as my favourite.

Dakota · Post by **Dakota** » 31 Dec 2005, 14:46

No I don't mind at all. I agree the b/w is stunning.

Nah, I took the tripod into town especially... Was pleased with these ones in 2004:

That last one is stunning - makes the monument look like a space rocket about to take off ...

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 15 Jan 2006, 18:54

both awesome

The one of the monument is fantastic Wangi. Can't you sell them as postcards?
