On Holiday

[Korky]

Not been around for a while as I'm on my hols in foreign parts. Just thought I'd drop in and post a couple of the shots I've taken over the last ten days or so. Both photographs were taken with a Fuji X30 and twiddled in PhotoShop.

Up in the Clouds - taken on a walk above the village of Westendorf in the Austrian Tirol.

The Guide - on a walk in the mountains, our guide turned out to have many talents: musician, yodeller, climber and all-round joker!

there's something about the fuji x cameras and black and white.

Really  like both of these .... but the 2nd one ... is one to remember ... one of those images ...once seen   ...etc etc   Super processing Korky ...

The second study is something special Korky.....the subject and your mono processing have really hit the mark......a holiday memory to treasure.

It is a brilliant study I agree Fuji...one knows as soon as one sees it .....and it's the photographer who should get  the credit in my opinion rather than the camera ...   sorry jpgr...I think it's my reaction to people so often saying, when they see a "good " photo,  " Oh you must have a really good / expensive camera !!*.... Grrrr

"sorry jpgr...I think it's my reaction to people so often saying, when they see a "good " photo,"

i wasn't saying it was just the camera. i was pointing out that the fuji x cameras seem to shine with black and white images.  

maybe i should have worded it differently:

cracking shots. i like the second one best. don't you think there's something about the fuji x cameras and black and white?

you're just picking on me because i'm a new boy here.  Grrr yourself!!

I like the feel to the first one best. Nice low angle and welll lit.

Both good korky 

Not many people would have bothered taking the first one but it really stands out 

The second makes me smile The look on the face of the chap on the left is just priceless, he has obviously sat too close to the music whilst trying to enjoy his sandwich

Just logged in to have a skin at this and I find that my melon is being well and truly twisted.

JPGR - I'm glad you like the images, thanks. BUT....... The photo of the accordionist was a candid shot, I didn't ask permission to take it and then I took the liberty of posting it on a public forum. I posted it because I like it and I think it's a strong image and you are perfectly free to disagree and criticise the image as you see fit, but what you are not free to do is take the p*ss out of the subjects as if their photographs have been posted here for some kind of Facebook-like amusement.

You'd be doing me a great favour if you'd bear that in mind in future.

Nice to 'meet' you btw - I'm Korky and I have dual personalities.

oops sorry.
it wasn't my intention to cause any offence and i apologise if i have.

i can understand if the subjects saw my remarks they might not be too thrilled with them, but there was no malice intended.

do you want me to delete/edit my posts on the thread?

do you want me to delete/edit my posts on the thread?

To be honest, I'd prefer it if you did.

I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot - perhaps we can start again.
