Pictures!

[liv]

I thought I'd post the best of the crop my attempts at taking photos of sunsets and other interesting lighting conditions when I was in England mid-December:



I've included with this lot, though it doesn't quite fit, a photo I took of Dundee when lethargic_man was here in November:



Also, a couple of photos of my parents' place:



Theoretically, you should only be able to see those if you're on my friends list, but I'm not sure how well the security is working. Anyway, the main claim to fame of that house is that Rupert Brooke (who was a regular visitor) described it in his diary as a "castellated mansion", and I think these photos show that quite well. Well, the other claim to fame is that the Macaulays lived there, but they are quite limitedly famous compared to Brooke!

I like the sunset ones. I got some very nice photos of sunset over Florence when I went to visit loreid, which are quite similar in lighting. I was quite proud of them.

Thank you!

It's fun when these things work out, isn't it? I think probably a lot of skies look quite similar at the same time of year and with a near enough similar climate.

Well, I can see them and I'm not on your friends list. :)

Oh well, I'm not too concerned really. I can't imagine anyone's going to be able to break into my parents' house on the basis of seeing those photos or anything like that. I just thought I'd try out the security settings and see if they actually have any effect. So it's good to have some data on that question.

Have you a larger version of the Dundee one? I think it may benefit from size.

Yes, my originals are at 1200 x 800. I just thought that was too big for the web. You can certainly have a copy if you want. Did your picture of the shimmering lights from around the same time come out?

I think it may benefit from size.
I'm not so sure about this; I kind of like the smaller version, because it's an image where there's not a lot of detail, just large areas of colour. (You did click on my link to the medium-sized version, right, you're not talking about just the thumbnail?)

Yes, please; and then I can make the decision about the optimum size for it. :o)

I didn't take one; it was Shabbos, remember?

Yup.
