Waterscapes

[CarlTN]

I sometimes wonder if people have something against me, I seem to post then no one replies to the subject after me, oh well never mind.

Cheers Graham.

I know what you mean, sometimes I post a comment or start a thread but no one gives a $hit, sometimes that can be more embarrassing then "losing" an argument ;D

If you are referring to me, I never conceded defeat. It's just that's what CR wanted to paint me to be, because they deleted all my replies. I don't own this website, unlike certain others who post.

Hi folks.
I follow several people on here, sometimes I disagree with an opinion, I'm sure people disagree with my opinion but life is too damn short to hate anyone for a post on a web site. I really like the mostly good nature of the participants here, and it appears even when two people seem to be at loggerheads on one topic they can praise each other for a nice photo on another topic. Almost surreal!

Most of the time when I start a thread, I get the haters...

Hi Carl, if I'm not wrong, didn't I once say that your writing style "sounds" like you are an angry dude, so that could attract haters ;D ... hey I'm just kidding, you & jrista are some of the few people I follow on CR ... and I say that with much respect.

I've not noticed anyone having anything against you...but then I don't check this forum on a daily basis. Your photos seem quite nice to me, so does your attitude. But given my anger, it wouldn't take much to send me over the edge!

The snowy shot is one Jrista would say (and I think I would agree), is NOT a waterscape. Why? Really one simple reason, in my opinion. The area of the image denoted by water, does not appear to dominate the composition. It is relatively small. Also, much of the water is frozen, so technically it is ice.

So, I will delete this image, Jrista, if you like. I have others from various time periods where water does dominate...but many of them would qualify more as simply a "sunset".

The bottom image, in my opinion, does qualify as a waterscape, but I'm pretty sure it will be picked apart by someone who hates southerners and our land. I shot it with a rented Zeiss lens.

I have shared the snow image in the "snow" thread, and I may have posted the other image before somewhere...so I apologize for being duplicitous. I can't help it!

Just bought a second hand 24-70mm F2.8 Sept 2012 build so went out to test it very happy with it!

Beautiful and peaceful images. Nicely done Tom.

Your images are fine. Birds, ice, it's still a waterscape....a water landscape. It may be more landscape, but it's fine. The second one is definitely a waterscape (and the reflection is pretty amazing!) I just didn't want this thread to shift and suddenly become primarily watersports or industry, which it easily could have done. That's all. There are plenty of other images posted so far with bridges and background city, but again, those are fine...the primary subject was the waterscape, not the city stuff.

Ok thanks, I certainly understand that. And just think, if the images with the city and bridges had been cloned out, maybe they too could have sold a print of it for $4 million...hahaha

No, I was not referring to you ... in fact I was not even aware that your replies wee deleted.

Haha, I just wanted to make sure...you can tell how paranoid I am!! Just because I'm paranoid, does not mean everyone is not out to get me! (I heard that somewhere )

I like the bridge and the second from the bottom, the best.

I hope this qualifies as a 'Waterscape' and I won't get ticked off by jrista

Taken at Flamborough Head on the Eastern Coat of England in the early morning as a sea fret (fog) was coming in and the fog horn from the radio station, of which you can see the masts, was booming out.

Anyone interested in history might be interested to know that this view is looking out at the exact spot where the American War of Independence ship the 'Bonhomme Richard' fought the Royal Navy in 1779 captained by John Paul Jones. After he died Jones was buried in France, but in 1905 the grave was found and the body returned to America where it now resides in a marvellous bronze and marble sarcophagus in the Naval Academy chapel, Annapolis.
