I don't know if anyone's interested, just thought I'd post some pics I've been taking. Mixture of everything really.

Mainly taken with my Nikon D-50 18 - 55 and 70 -300 lenses.

Something to do when you're landlocked!

Hope you like them :)

That was taken in Portugal, brilliant spot (Beliche). It was too big for me...tend to get panicked over 4ft so I thought I'd take pictures of other peoples wipe outs.....he certainly was on a body board, that one stole the show lol! Lots of snapped boards that day too!

which ones and in what way? There are so many different topics I can't see how they're all not very expressive? :? Quite happy to accept citicsm, that's why I posted them...just explain what you mean in more detail.

Cheers

well i mean theyre nice but all self explanatory you know? nothing that draws me into them. sunsets and such that id rather just see myself with my own eyes. it doesnt inspire fear or sadness or love or stuff like that. dont worry about that though, ive take 1000's of pictures and most fall under that discription. most of those arnt even as good as yours.

I bet you can get get some awesome scenery shots living in Honolulu! You should post some of your shots, I should imagine the colours and scenery over where you live would be VERY inspiring! I reckon if I ever had the chance of taking photos in Hawaii I would get through a few thousand in a couple of days :lol:

Don't know how I missed this, you've got some fantastic pics!

What air show did you go to?

Hi, thanks for comment.

I took those at R.A.F Fairford (Royal International Air Tattoo). I took about 800 pics and some of R.A.F Waddington. A bit of an aircraft anorak lol! They can make good photos if you catch them right bit hard when thay fly so fast! :D

If you like the aircraft ones I can put them on CD for you? Are you in the U.K?

I LOVE the wildlife photos, in fact you may have inspired me enough to go for a bit of a wander round Naaaarwich with the camera at the weekend, nothing quite so exotic but still fun.

Glad you like them! The reptiles etc. were taken in a place bear the lake district called Carnforth. By the way I can hear the Naaaarwich sound, my wifes from Lowestoft.

Cool accent! :D

He he he its a great accent and while i've been at uni here I have picked up little bits. My mum is well spoken and my dad is a geordie. I also picked up quite a kiwi accent while I was in New Zealand, although thats mostly gone.

Which makes me a posh-norwich-geordie-kiwi!!

Basically I sound English :lol:
