Yes, I enjoy the themes very much. What I really enjoy about the themes is that I get to see others photos and it gives me ideas. I also really enjoy that most people who post in the theme based threads are more into making photographs than talking about what makes a photograph. Don't get me wrong. I like the technical stuff as much as the next person, but I prefer to make photos and more than that, I enjoy looking at others photos even more.

Most of the theme threads here have been dead for years and it is a shame....So lets get most if not all revived here..

Great shot Rob!

Javier echoes why I like these themed threads. They're just plain fun. And especially when a couple of the contributers have gotten a stash of appropriate photos, and they keep posting one after the other.

I've been holding off from posting at many of them, because it seems I've been the last to have posted. So I've been waiting again for others to get involved and then I'll contribute more.

OK, here I am.

1. Church on a hill near Lago di Cavazzo in North Italy (seen and photographed in early April of this year)

2. And this goes without explanation - also taken while we were on vacation in Austria in April of this year (you cannot tell by my latest contributions which photos I'm finally getting up into my Flickr, now can you???

)

3. And another from that series

The colour is great in those

This was with my 300mm

This is the right spot

This is the Winter Gardens in Blackpool, i get the whole 'Film Noir' thing in my head when i see the place.
A little tinkering in Photoshop and i got it the way i originally wanted it to look.

I've been lucky enough to win a few competitions with the print of it

These shots are great

This was York Minster on what was a boring grey day just after Christmas last year

Sweet rendering of York Minster Rob. You've turned dull boring into dramatic!

Question on your avatar symbol: it looks almost like a celtic version of the dao yin/yang. Does it have special significance?

Cheers. As for the avatar, yes it does have meaning (very deep meaning)
and is loosely based on the Celtic Triskele and Yin-Yang symbols.

Technically its wrong as the dots should be holes but its near enough for me ... :lol:
