The Framers Forum

I'm always interested to see images from places where I haven't been yet. Here in this forum are so many international people and many live in beautiful places. I hope the framers are also interested in this and will post something with an eventual notice about their camera and/or about the place.
This place is a low tide at a beach just south of Rotterdam. Some later we saw 2 seals laying far away, but the darkness came quickly.

The image is pure as it is and not changed in my computer. Since a few months I use a Casio Exilim 10.1 MP and I'm very happy with it.
Hope to see many of your images....

This is how the woods look today - one mile north of where I live - I haven't been there today mind - this was taken a few years ago!




One mile further North - The south downs - Chanctonbury Ring on the horizon.



Nikon Coolpix 4100! Have since upgraded to the Coolpix P5100 which is 12.1 mp but have yet to take any landscape shots with it.

Wow..... that looks a langscape of hundreds of years ago....

Slightly further West!

Niagara Falls.

This is typical Irish countryside: the Amber Valley in County Clare.




All going well, someday it will be the view from my living room window! (I own the land from which the shot was taken. Just need a mortgage to build the house. )

I hope Ormond will honour us with some pics from his beautiful part of the planet!

As requested Áine - You may have seen some of these before. I will have to upload some different pics to my webspace so I can show them.

Here are a few:










This one is a couple of hundred miles south:

Áine & John,
I am not getting an image in your last two posts. Just that little box where they should be.

oo-er - I can see mine & Áine's

Thanks for pics, Ormond! I can't see a couple of the images either. They did display earlier...

The 'postimage' site might be the problem. It's quite often deadly slow from down here and I have a message at the bottom of my browser saying: "connecting to www.postimage.org........

Today it seems to be asleep!

Yep. You're right, Ormond: it seems to be running like a dog here, too.

Perhaps it's better to use different servers for uploading. Here is an onther server;

We've been out today (well, it is a bank holiday!) to Mid-Wales, a lovely little Red Kite feeding station not far from Welsh Framing Supplies....



They came in waves of about 50 or so a time, probably saw 200+ over the couple of hours we were there! I wish I had an SLR digicam with BIG lenses, the best mine could do on a zoom was this



I did have a closer shot but it was moving too darn quick to focus on.

We took the journey home via the Wye Valley, some stunning scenery on the reservoir roads, but I seem to suffer from always having an impatient asshole behind me when I'd like to stop and take photos! By the time you get to a passing point to let them through it's too much trouble to try and get back to where you were. We did stop off at a couple of the dams though





Of course you can't have a Wales trip without sheep!



They were all over the road - literally! Couldn't go 200ft without having to go round one. Turned one bend to see a lamb lying in the middle of the road, the wife thought it had been run over. As we slowly approached, it got up and ran to mammy - it was just doing what the cat in my avatar used to do - enjoy the heat from the sun-baked tarmac!

Wales is amazing - from desolate wastelands to lush forests and back again all in the space of ten miles.

The camera was a Canon A640, but some of the pics have had to be scaled back as the provider I've used (www.xs.to) have a 256kb file limit.

Steve,
That camera takes nice photos!

The one with the sheep is one megabyte in size, so it is much larger than the 256kb limit.

It might be an option for you to reduce the photo size to 640x480 before you upload them. It would be faster to upload and for others to download.
Here's the sheep one reduced to that size and it's only 205kb.

Ah, just looked at the T&C and the limit is 2560000 bytes.... My original files are close to that limit. Some go over, some don't.

Sorry Ormond, I thought Odems wanted unadulterated files to compare camera performance as well as country scenery! I usually reduce my pics to 1000 pixel width, as most people have a monitor that can take it these days (apart from NYAF, maybe )

Seems there is a problem with adding images as attached thumbnails - so hello photobouquet!

Chanctonbury ring close up.




Oh - and I can do Welsh photos too - c'mon then - where/what is this? (pron - tarth-eye-ad ar-von havren) (with the 'th' in 'there' as opposed to 'thin')


Steve - I really envy your location, but I don't think I could balance my books there - so I stay stuck here with all these people around me - if I could commute by helicopter - or run the place by remote - your part of the world would be where I'd do it from.

Or Ormond's - but maybe I'd need a faster helicopter!

John,
I love the photo of Chanctonbury ring! Superb!

Source of the Wye. Easy peasy.

I agree! Does the site have Druidic associations, John?

Stay behind after school - ah, no, forget that - you're a bloke!

Not the source of the Wye.
