But you know what might be a good idea? A sort of a "tour-around-the-neighbourhood(in a broad sense)", you know, posting pics of what it's like around where you live and what's interesting (and just generally interesting and nice pics) and the sights and all that.

In an area as wide as one wishes.
Thats a really great idea!

I actually have an album dedicated to such, or especially one where I am taking pictures along the road while walking towards a friends place. However it would take too many pictures to give it
justice though.

Impressive capture Tsa!
But maybe I will just upload instead random pictures that representing the area in different seasons, areas.

That might be more fun, yes. Showing the same spot in sun and rain, or with and without a festival going on, etc.

Got some examples in a hurry:
However I did not plan to have almost exact spot at different seasons, but funny enough I manage to take almost exacly spot or area
This is from the part from this "high school" to a friends place.

Same area just from an opposite end.

Got other much more representative pictures presenting the area in all kinds of ways ,but I have been lazy when it comes to updating it since I had taken 300 pictures one day (or other that are spread around, as I don't organize well pictures)

You clicked 'make link' instead of 'image' Mike... or did you do that on purpose?

Edit: Impressive pictures! Things change so much when there's snow. I have some examples of that too but I still am sorting those pics out. That will take quite some time because I'm quite busy.

well a directl link to the imagine was intentional, if thats what you meant?

Well truth be told that day it snowed extraordinaire, but I suppose it doesn't make a difference since there is always a lot of snow to be had here. It will be interesting to see differences from your area too!.

*edit*

Wow Tsa you live in that awesome neightbourhood with those creative houses?

tsa was really asking why you didn't set the pictures up so they actually display in the thread (there is a yellow square button that allows you to do that on the posting page) Given the size of your pictures I think having the links is better. Saves on loading times for the thread itself and saves you having ot decide whether to shrink them for display.

Yes, it has a special history with the firework disaster, but it was also a unique cityplanning experiment that worked out very well in my opinion. It's worth taking a look there if you are in Enschede or surroundings.

aah yeah I thought might be so, yeah I don't feel like posting smaller sizes that affects the quality disturbingly.

Well Tsa I feel you're already are a winner, my photography hobby just died ! *tries to desperately find something before falling into his grave*
Okay I think I will pick up those 300 pictures to see if I got some great picture almost a year ago... so stay tuned the fight is still on! *roar* if pictures taken from the past are valid... *avoids reading for exams*

Thanks Mike! I always knew I was the best . But it would be a pity to see this thread and your hobby die. So please keep taking pictures! Posting old pictures is allowed of course as long as the pictures are yours!

If you manage to outsmart them (which I highly doubt since they have been special trained to deceive anyone!) I suppose I got some net to my disposal!



Wow Tsa what a really great capture , I love it! meh I need capture more of those type of photos!

Some of those pictures are really nice Mike! I pecially like the ones of the cows and the silhouet of the naked statue. The ones of Oslo by night are also good. I have been playing with the idea of making a series of Roombeek by night for quite a while already. I haven't done that yet because of the weather and the fact that it gets dark quite late already this time of year.

Thanks for the compliments!
Well with the night photos, I did take a dozen and a lot got blurry so it wasn't easy getting something decent. However I couldn't pass it up due to the fact that there was a lot of lights around and the wet weather created a nice sort of atmosphere.

I have been thinking for a while that I need to take pictures that can capture the mood of the rain. I actually have some ideal spots to use, but haven't gotten a camera out in the ideal time. The same to be said about the autumn when the wind is carrying the leaves as if they were dancing in the air, too many potensial scenarios I have witnessed but without a camera!

How do you guys like photos like the ones I post underneath here? I have a whole slew of them. I like taking them, but most of the people I showed them to don't understand what's so artsy about them. Maybe they're right
