June 2008 - FirstView Pictures

[huwevans]

This thread is for posting of FirstView pictures for the 1st of June, 2008. Please read the main About FirstView post, if you have not done so already. You may post only one image here, and it must have been taken on the 1st of June, 2008. Please remember to include the basic details - time and place of shooting, and what we're looking at. If you want to put in a short paragraph explaining what's going on, or why you chose that one, or whatever, then please do, but keep it brief and relevant. Any discussion beyond that can go in the 'Comments' thread. Please do not post comments or other replies here - they will be deleted. This thread is for FirstView image posting only.

The picture thread will remain open for a few days in the first instance, so please try to get your contributions in promptly. People who are perhaps away from home, or need time for film processing, or are otherwise unable to post their images in the initial time slot should pm me - I'll re-open the thread later in the month for late additions. In all cases please remember that the forum image posting rules apply (see the 'POSTING IMAGES' sticky post, which can be found in the Appraisal Gallery).

Finally, once again I would like to draw your attention to the new FirstView Gallery site - we would like as many contributors as possible to make use of this for hosting their FirstView images in order to maintain as complete an archive as possible for the future. Of course if you prefer not to you are still welcome to contribute to the FirstView threads with images hosted elsewhere.

10am in the loft.

Now, where do I start? I'm re-insulating the loft with some hi-tech insulation that was given to me. Trouble is, I keep getting distracted by stuff I'm finding which I'd forgotten about

Before starting the chores just time to play with the EV compensation setting for the pop-up flash. Canon 40D Sigma 105mm 1/60th f7.1 fill-flash at -2EV ISO 100

For the first time in 20 years my boats being left in the yard for the season. Strange how quickly the ones left ashore start to look sad and neglected.......

Was much more impressive at uncompressed settings

Fuji S9600, my bedroom ... playing around with Fuji's RAW format against JPEG to see which is better

Putting out the bins on green bin day, ready for early a.m. collection. Highlight of a wet and dull day spent on paperwork and backups.

The National Trust has been given Welcombe Mouth and the surrounding valley by Devon Wildlife Trust. I've been working this weekend patrolling the area and discouraging people from camping. Last night there had been a party and the place was filthy this morning.

The lap before a main bearing failure, meaning a complete engine rebuild in 2 & and a half hours!!!
We missed the next race by a few minutes...

My son has just bought a Nintendo Wii and is busy setting it up...

Taken close to the Dome. The whole area is looking very seedy, and I liked the contrast between Canary Wharf and what's sarf of the river.
