EDwin, bravo m8. If you dont mind, i.d love to know how you took this, and what you done post processing?

Cheers

Thank you for the kind words...


I took this shot using a canon 30d, canon 10-22mm, iso100 at f25 with a b+w nd16 and singhray reverse grad (3 stop)..

limited processing. here is the screen shot of my raw file with canon's bundled viewer



Hope this answers your query, thanks and good day.

Ye cheers, looks sweet :-)

So do I - isn't it a real cracker - good to see such quality images making the front page too - and that post by gdallas - the gate - is simplistic but very well composed and somewhat eye catching too.

Here's one to make all the Douglas Adams fans cringe.

The answer to the ultimate question was ...................................................

THIRTY FOUR

Was it not!?!?!!?

Errr ! No it was not, I think you will find it was 42, in answer to the question - What is 6 multiplied by 8? - thus proving that the Universe is fundamentally flawed.

Oh Lord, please help me to be the person that my dog thinks I am.

Well maybe Douglas Adams got the answer wrong - as 2 x 17 = 34 - and thus the Universe is not fundementally flawed - it is sufficiently adequate - and perhaps, just perhaps - the only one that exists. 

Anyway the Adams Family have to be congratulated - Jon Adams, editor of that "other" magazine and his team were responsible for the development of this next image - the Universe is indeed a wonderful and extremely complicated entity.

 This shot is a mono conversion of a colour shot taken with a 2mp Nikon Coolpix,called 'A tower struck down',the subject is a folly called Mow Cop castle,in Staffordshire.Edited in Photofiltre and Photoscape.

The answer to the question of the universe was 42.

The question was later found to be: what do you get when you multiply 6 by 9....

If you consider the multiplication in base 13, then you get 42 (= 54 in base 10, our conventional numbering base).

Well Done Hugh, funnily enough I nearly mentioned that you would be along to correct the "Math's" in my post but didn't want to drag you in. You are quite right, it was 6 x 9 and not 6 x8, it took me most of the afternoon to track it down on youtube, the last time I saw this was when the series was originally transmitted on the BBC, back in the early eighties.

Base 13 eh! It all makes perfect sense now???

Cheers, Peter.

To the base reminds me of these logarithms im trying to do

I HATE LOGS!!

Possibly the saddest part of this whole episode is that I didn't have to look it up...I remembered the numerology from the wholy scriptures...

And yes, Craig, logs are how one converts between bases, and are fantastically useful. You just have to remember that they're the inverse function of an exponential/power function, i.e.

    y = x ^ log_x(y), or y = 10 ^ (log(y)).

Anyway, back to the photos, one from today that I'm quite pleased with:

Arithmetic was never my strong point - always better at Mathematics - maybe the reason why  my degree was in Physics - all those years ago - I knew changing Mr Adams'  answer to 34 would cause consternation in some parts - because by its very nature - "tongue in cheek" is for some - so hard to detect. 

And before others try and jump on the bandwagon - see the following link :

Good to see some more steam - not coming out anyone's ears on this occasion - that is indeed a fine image  you have posted there Hugh.

I've decided to set myself a little project, to show the mundane urban areas in a more interesting light.

 

Only got three so far
