My 1 in 100's

[coldrum]

Hey! I am by no means any sort of pro when it comes to photography but I get a huge buzz out of taking what I feel is a cool shot. It's something that makes me stop the car ten times on a road trip and drives my girlfriend mad.

I only find one shot in about every 100 photos that seems any good so my track record isnt great but it's getting better... thank goodness for digital.
So hopefully among the photos in this thread lay a few gems... I'd love to hear any feedback from anyone who has two cents to spare. Enjoy : D

I use a Kodak Z7590 5-Megapixel

the second to last one is my favorite of them all. good colors.

i will take about 60 pictures when i go out on a walk and only use about 4 or 5 of them. so its not just you =D

I also like the second last one, the colours are very strong. Having the castle-like building in the background reminds me of a fairytale land.

St Alban, what a yellow, very poetic !
Could you number your photos ?
In the last serie I love of the first one (the interior), nice soft light, maybe a little crop (the shovels are closed to the left edge. (sorry for my english :rolleyes:)

Nice job !

I used to work in an old shed across from an abandoned house just north of London. One of my workmates said the place was haunted... which would'nt have surprised me because it definately spooked me out. So one day we went inside and I took some pics.. I didnt take many cause I almost fell thru the floor ... and the dead cat kind of gave me the willies.

Here's some of the house shots plus some of the surrounding area...
