Ahrr, Monsieur Chrispy - and here I thought we finally had the proof - Aliens peeing on our World

[anivid]

Just lo-o-ove old postcards in sepia colours

[alchemist]

Yes, I thought it was time to use some of those new photobucket features.

Looks like we're going to need a mod to make the poll for the contest this month. Quite a few entrants. There are some really good pictures, too; the Jet D'Eau is lovely, and the colour of the water in Anivid's first pic is gorgeous. I really like the reflections in Lilmiz and Alchemist's photos, too.

Just under a week left, and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next.

[anivid]

It’s been a jolly good challenge, Talysia, with lots of really fine pics – thank you J

Before - and After.
Very funny, Hope

[hopewrites]

your a very lucky sportsman Alex. there is little I wouldn't do to see a sunrise like that or go salmon fishing.
but both!


as you can see, I'm green with envy.

[Alex, The G and T]

Geez, Hope, I think you responded before I actually uploaded the photo. Some kinda Envy-dar ?

What I was going to say...

Spectacular array of tough-to-beat- photos this month. I, too am a water baby. The toughest job, for me has been paring down the possibilities.

Ocean sport fishing has been open since the beginning of the month. I was hoping to get my camera out again, but I'm a fair weather sailor. The few days when the ocean conditions have been friendly, I've had other commitments.

Oh, well. Short of a close encounter with giant marine mammals; I guess the sunrise shot would be hard to improve upon.

The Yachting on SF bay, last year was a lucky thrill. A friend of a friend of a friend.

They let me drive!

[hopewrites]

you could drive me, I hate driving anything.

except that one time my friends friend let me drive her Shetland.

Allo - calling Alchemist,

May I be so bold as to ask which camera you've been using e.g. for the pic "Bridge over (un)troubled Water" ??

Best from Anivid

No camera at all but my Samsung Galaxy Mini mobile phone.

A talented phone ? - lucky you

[hopewrites]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!! how many megapixels does your phone have? and how would I ask mine how many it has?
Used my mom's camera this month (Sorry Anivid all i know is its pink and slim and fits in my lil hand. and takes better pictures than my phone which I normally use) in addition to my phone, and the two that I picked out of the many that I took both came from cuts of camera shots rather than phone shots.


*Edit* oh found it. mine has 3.2

Ok, I managed to get some pictures of my river before the deadline! I suppose I have a lot of pictures I could have dredged up from the past, but they weren't specifically aiming for a water theme.
