January 2007 Photo Competition ......... Discussion thread

Well done on the comet, Froggy! Incredible shot! And so clear.....

And Rosa - love the pig!

DaveW - the head of David is a great pic - fantastic stuff!

 

Thanks Dendi.
I've been playing with a new camera.
Here's "David" in a different light - candle light. Can't decide which photo is best as they are of the same subject but entirely different in atmosphere.

 

thanks dend, there is certainly some great pictures well done everyone

 

nice shot of dave, dave. also like the scareee firemedic, just what is it?

 

Rosa,I do like the latest picture of the Goan child.What a shame that the pig looks better fed than the little one,excellent though.

 

thanks kandy, i suppose these children from poor families only get to eat rice and their homes are so small like wooden sheds, they live in appalling conditions.
The pig is lucky it eats everyones thrown out garbage.

 

LOL that's quite a sky. What time is your sunrise at present? Ours is about 9.00 but would be a bit earlier but for some hills across the river to the south.

 

Ola, meu amigo, DaveW, muito tempo no fala!

It was at 7.30am this morning so a wee bit earlier than you.

We do have lovely sunrises and sunsets ... the latter being about 6-ish.

I hope you and your lovely lady are well!

 

Now that caused a bit of a giggle. If you had been in Spain and had made a mistake with a terminal vowel you'd have had a lot of sympathy and few funny looks
:D

Ειμαστε πολν καλα ευχαριστω

 

Hey, guy, you've lost me ... but then, maybe I'm always lost.

It's a long time since we have spoken! I'm not 100% with the language .. what did I say wrong?

 

Nothing wrong in portuguese. But if you had made a slight slip in spanish it might have caused some hilarity.

PM en-route to explain.

 

Your "Jewel in the Compost" must be one of the most unusual photographs we have ever seen, JarBax.
Welcome to GC and to the competition

 

Love your "Poverty" photo, Rosa. The eyes of that child are so appealing and it would make a great poster for Oxfam. It would also make a great subject for you to draw as a change from animals. The eyes say so much. Well done - it gets my vote.

 

oh thank you hornbeam, it was strange how i came to take it, left my apartment and bumped into my friend he asked me iff i had my camera as he hadnt brought his out and he directed me around of the back of were i was staying and asked me iff i would take some pics of the workers on a new build and we saw this child sitting on a little dirt hill and couldnt resist taking the child, I have another picture also, we said thank you to the mother and we went to the shop and got the child some sweets poor little thing.

 

hb i have just e-mailed press at oxfam to see iff they would be interested in the picture of goan child, will let you know iff i hear anything from them.
