With our skies once again cloudy, grey and cold, BenMac has sent in this picture he took a couple of months ago before another storm.

I, too, love Kramer’s quote and think it highly apt for this photograph. What the heck is it from?

Google tells us it’s from the Max Payne video game.

Aaaaaargh! Bundy!! You can’t say long words and stuff around me, ok? It’s on account of I’m hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobic.

“The sun went down with practiced bravado. Twilight crawled across the sky, laden with foreboding.”

What a brilliant quote Kramer. (Haven’t heard from you for a while BTW.)

And a great shot – nature + B&W = stunning (often).

PS: you’ve gotta love this town…

Thanks all. Yeah it’s HDR in Photomatix and tweaked in Photoshop (black and white etc)

I’m now picturing Danman sticking pins into an effigy of you. 😛

Cool pohto btw.

My apologies, i should have gone and had a look at the flickr page where it says that its a HDR before taking a guess as to what effect was used.

Very impressive to capture the boats so well when they would have been moving rather quickly in that wind.

High Dynamic Range

It’s a way of combining images of a single scene shot at different exposure levels.

Totally, RiotFrog! It’d done wonders for my hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia!

: D

Infrared filter?

Tonemapped.

Granny: I have. It’s called “The RiotACT”. It’s cheaper than a real doctor and nearly as effective.

RiotFrog, have you sought help for these … er, conversations you’ve been having?!

; )

The photo is very impressive. Kind of grand and majestic, actually!

Eeeeexcellent. Hello wallpaper!

Beautiful!

Is there a larger sized version of this? Would make an awesome computer wallpaper.

Lovely photo. Almost has a 3D feel to it.

Infrared filter?
