Here's one from my gallery that's been getting a few comments. It's one of my favourites as this was my first attempt at shooting lightning and I was pretty pleased with how it came out. I did have to touch it up slightly in Photoshop, but only a little.

Gidge...tremendously powerful picture - if this was a first attempt I am even more impressed! Been trying to catch soemthing like this for ages. Do you live in Perth then? We have relatives there...

Thanks for the comments on the bridge pic -this was taken after reconstruction at The Black Country Museum. It was originally in Wolverhampton in Broad Street, and as a child it was the darkest,  gloomiest, dampest  place in town! Very scary when you are only 8! In those days horses still pulled narrow boats (please don't call them barges!) though the canal and you could see the marks of generations of ropes on the brick work. The BCM is a great photo shooting location if you like Industrial Heritage stuff - I could go on at length about the part that this area played in the building of the country and empire!!

Agreed, Alex Mac's gallery is fantastic.

Gidge if that was your first attempt at lightening then that is an absolutely stunning shot very very well done.

Here's one of mine that seems to attract a few comments, although to be honest i am not entirely sure why

Wow some cool shots in this "not photo of the day" thread

That bridge is awesome I really like it David, the Lightning is great too and the stones and the other bridge and the big cat is stunning.

Thanks again David.

I'll tell you why I like your Bridge Image and why it attracts coments. The composition is spot on. The exposure is just right and the sepia feel to the colours and lighting are great. You have captured it perfectly.

another cool cat, i really like the way its head is "side-on" so you get his markings / body in the background.

Thanks for your nice comment shelfy.

SOME GREAT SHOTS HERE , MY FAVOURITE IS THE LEOPARD THROUGH GLASS , HARD TO GET SO SHARP, AND ALSO THE STEAM TRAIN, REALLY GOOD STUFF. THIS SHOT IS JUST HANDY FOR ME TO FIND NOW , ITS NOT TO SHARP BUT I LIKE IT.

 

OOPS.... CANT SEEM TO BE ABLE TO ADD AN ATTACHMENT , IS THERE A TRICK TO IT?

Fantastic atmosphere in this pic nice one BoltonDave

 

Just one other thing Alex, regarding the sepia comment you made about my bridge shot, that shot is posted as is without any alteration in Photoshop at all, its just the night lighting that gives it that effect
