Oh, and I wonder if we ought to think about heading back to the climbing club some time soon. I don't think he did badly, 'specially since he was wearing aldi's finest something-resembling-hiking-boots that really aren't very appropriate for climbing!

(yes, it was mildly scary to see him up there!)

Here's scary...

This is Junior #1 on the Lake Chutes, an EX ( Extrme Terrain ) Double-black diamond run in Breckenridge, Co.
He's 12 at the time I filmed this ( last year ).

Normally, when I photo or film ski footage, you don't get any sense of steepness.
You do here.
All the action is in the first 10 seconds or so.
You need to look at him as he traverses over and sizes up the first ( committing ) turn.
It's worth pausing it and looking at it at this point.
He can reach out and touch the wall with his hand.
Observe the first turn: look at the rate he drops till he gets his edges set as he completes the turn, and drops out of view.

That's it, I'm afraid.
My camera-work is total crap, because I can't see the screen in the bright sun-light, so I'm just pointing it in the general direction.
It's not worth viewing beyond when he drops out-of-sight.

To those of you who have never tried such stuff, I can tell you this is *very* steep, at 50 degrees, and very committing.
Here's the sign at the top of the hike you need to make to get there:

Sunset on Bonfire Night. That lens vignettes a bit wide open, doesn't it?

This was shot yesterday. Location fairly obvious to Kate Bush fans.

Leica M3 with 35mm Summarit-M at 1/250 and f/2.8, yellow filter, Fuji Neopan Acros in Rodinal 1:25. It looks like fill-flash but it's just a straight shot with hazy sun.

I am not knowledgeable enough to comment in any meaningful way on the photography, but (and I've meant to say this before and somehow never got round to it, probably because threads had moved on by that point) your girls are gorgeous, Roger!

You can hardly believe they're the fruit of his loins....

Wonderful shot Roger! - lovely golden ratio composition, exquisite light, just lose the shadow on the right and add it to your FRPS portfolio!

Lovely pic, tho.

Some pictures from an up and coming young photographer:

"Finger"

IMGP5033 by Panticle, on Flickr

"Mummy feels like she was painted by Munch"

IMGP5034 by Panticle, on Flickr

"Self-Portrait"

IMGP5031 by Panticle, on Flickr

All by Max Martin. Aged 2.

(It's older brother Oli's digi camera really, and he's pretty competent with it. In fact Max often gets it right, but these are funnier!)

Biggsy · « **Reply #113 on:** 04 June, 2012, 12:51:32 pm »

"Finger" would make a nice wallpaper for your PC desktop, and "Munch Mummy" wouldn't be out of place in the National Portrait Gallery! I look forward to Max's debut art photography book.

lou boutin · « **Reply #114 on:** 04 June, 2012, 01:01:57 pm »

I must say that Munch Mummy is very good.

lou boutin · « **Reply #115 on:** 04 June, 2012, 01:03:37 pm »

Although I'm pretty sure that someone will come along and have something rude to say about the title 'muNch mummy'; afterall this is YACF.

Biggsy · « **Reply #116 on:** 04 June, 2012, 01:37:17 pm »

We do indeed have some rude mother munchers on YACF.

WW, it's been 12 years since I was there, but is's still moving to see such pix.

We too had a bit of a sticky time getting out of the hospital, so I know where you are.

Best of luck for the future.
It only gets harder...

That or he's just stubbed his toe on an anchor

Fab photo and long may the enjoyment of pottering around on water last.

Note to self: have lived in Brum far too long - must move back to the coast...

More miles of canal than Venice in Brum, apparently...

From me, not a pic of a kid, but by one. I think it has undertones of Clarice Cliff myself:

I don't know if he used the same technique, but during the holiday I saw Oli drawing a volcano by taking a pen in each hand and drawing mirror images for each side of the cone and the lava spewing out of the top - equally controlled. I wonder if he'll be ambidextrous, or if that control will disappear as he becomes more used to writing and using one hand.
