Couple of shots from Egypt - (scanned prints)
Taken early evening

I love the sense of scale in this one - the car in the distance is a pug 405

Love this as a random party shot - taken in 1987 at a "pyjama party" at boarding school where no-one actually wore any pyjamas... Nikon F301, 50mm F1.8, 1/125 @ f5.6 & fill-in flash. Red-eye removed (as much as possible) and blemishes removed. Scan of original print.



And this great shot of my friend doing the long jump in 1990. Nikon F301, 105mm f2.5, 1/1000th @ F8, 400ISO Fujicolour. Blemishes removed and slightly cropped, scan of original print.



Keeping schtum. Mostly.

Couple more for you: 1st one taken at Leaving do at school June 1990, Nikon F301 & 50mm f2, 1/125 @ f 8 with fill-in Flash, Kodak T-Max film, D-76 1+1 12 minutes (I think!).



...and this is my Dad, taken for a photo competition at the local camera club. I was not a member, just a guest and ended up coming second which REALLY p!ssed off the club members. 1/500 @ f5.6, Kodak Tri-X 400 film, Nikon F301 & 80-200mm f4 zoom. It's my favourite portrait shot of all time.

I'd say it would be better if the cloud/sky image faded completely towards the left, so the wheel would be the main focus (solid). So ay diagnoally from the bottom right up to the other corner, just as you got past the centre cap, it start becoming solid.


But it's a good image, nice idea :)
