Irish Cottage

[Bambi]

one from the archives. Taken last feb I loved the squareness of it.

That's one honkin big chimney for a cottage! :D

Nice shot Bambi.

[Bambi]

thanks! it probably had to heat the whole cottage at one point (or after being to ireland twice, it probably still does!! )

Easy to see why you liked this scene. Thank goodness your photography has progressed a long way from this shot though. My eyes are watering!

Cool find, the high shooting angle makes it look like a model house...:)

LOL MA! I pat myself on the back for this shot given that I took it from the top of a moving bus being driven by an Irishman! If you have ever been in an irish bus tour you would know what I mean. I've done about 4 and felt like I was on the fast track for sure!

That does indeed shed new light on the photo! I take it all back ... great shot!

I'm kidding ... crap is crap ... no matter what excuses you want to use. ;)

Nah ... it's a nice composition of a very cool little cottage! The quality just isn't there with the obvious ghosting and colour issues in the sky.

:) I wish I could ... but I'd have to be your body guard!

No point me telling you it's a good shot or you'd never believe another critque I gave you now would you ;)

I doubt it ... mine weighs over 12 kgs and I'd have a camera in the other hand!

I've been up 4am the past two mornings and ridden over 50 k's on my bike each day. Managed to do over 240 k's this week ... is that not enough? :)

it seems to be a good start!!! Keep it up :D

I've been doing it for weeks ... actually a few months now. Riding about 4 or 5 days a weeks again ... not usually quite so early though.

This morning I'm taking off to take photos of a mates legs! :laughing:

He's doing a 7 day race for charity next month ... every day heros ... a kids charity ... and has really hairy legs.

I got him back into road riding a few months ago and came up with the idea of charging members of my mtb dirt site a minimum of $20 to rip a strip of his legs ... leg waxing ;) We raised over $1000 for that ... and he's raised more through other means and will raise more during the race. Giant Bikes have even gotten on board and are giving him and his team mate the Rep's van to drive down to Victoria (not sure but probably about 20 hours driving each way) and two, new Giant mountain bikes each for the race. Pretty cool.
