24-AUG-2005 Lee Rudd

grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Wednesday 24th August - Day 249

Not because of this picture, but the one I didn't/couldn't take. Driving home, I noticed a single engined aircraft taking off from Exeter airport - funny, thought I, especially when it took a sharp right and it was obvious it was a spitfire... my arm started moving at this moment, almost instinctively, to the camera bag, just as a MASSIVE four engined beast lumbered into the air.... yep, the RAF Battle of Britain memorial flight was taking off and I wasnt ready...... by the time I was, they were out of range.... arrrrrrrrrgh... better check their schedules better in the future :(

Anyway, I'm sure there is something in the water this week, another one. this time of the East Ockment.

wonderful motion in the water.

Such a distant, old-fashioned look to this photo. Beautiful work.
I'm sure the planes will be there another day...

Personally, I think this image is way more interesting that some airplain ... but that just MY opinion! (There, does that make you feel a bit better for missing it???)
This is gorgeous!
Guest 26-Aug-2005 19:45
superb!

Beautiful photo, Lee. I really like this in black and white, too. It has a very ethereal quality to it.
Guest 25-Aug-2005 08:06
You know, beinge all girlie and everything, I'm glad you didn't post a picture of a spitfire... ;-) I really, really like this!

I agree the water looks so silky I would call it.. tell me your secret..
Guest 25-Aug-2005 03:16
Very dreamy! Vote.
Sorry to hear to miss the shot you want but I like this one very much.
Breland25-Aug-2005 03:08
If this was second choice then the spitfire would have been totally awesome. Great shot Lee.

I love this scene of the rushing water. I can almost hear it with the slippery stones to walk across. Nice "I'd like to be there" kind of photo.
Mindy McNaugher25-Aug-2005 02:25
Love this stunning shot! Gorgeous tones, fabulous capture of the stream, and as said below, a wonderful dreamy quality to the image! Definitely a vote!

Well, I just love this image. It suggests a dream state to me. Sorry you missed your "prize" shot, but this is a more than suitable substitute!
Guest 24-Aug-2005 23:55
Magical water ... were you standing in the middle of it? :)
Guest 24-Aug-2005 22:48
It's sickening to miss stuff like that. President Bush was in town today, but I was not able to be anywhere close. I can feel your pain. This is beautiful.
Sheena Woodhead24-Aug-2005 21:47
Water theme? Very good idea and this is an excellent B&W image.

Superbe !!!!

f25? Damn, I really need a new camera ('Grrrs' at stoopid f8 limit !!) That is a fab IR effect!
J. Scott Coile24-Aug-2005 20:45
Big huge WOW! Excellent tonal range. Dreamy shutter speed and exposure. Sweet natural setting and composition. Perfect light. Vote for this special B&W!

you made the water all creamy! i've tried to do this, but not like managed it!!
Ric Yates24-Aug-2005 19:28
Pity about missing the Memorial Flight - but this shot is great as a substitute!

Had a helicopter skim the top of the house last week, so close I could see the whites of their eyes...same thing. Still I like the sound this image conjures up.
Gayle P. Clement24-Aug-2005 18:59
I am so sorry about that missed photo. I like this dreamy scene.
Guest 24-Aug-2005 18:40
I wouldn't grrrrrrr at this, it's really good! I love the water movement, and the dreamy finish you gave it (not dreams of town centres ok!)

Really, it's a good one! How did you get the IR look? I don't particularly LOVE IR, but, in this picture it looks good.
