Thanks, Its a toy from Japan called Danboard and made by a company called revoltech. It comes from a Japanese cartoon/comic called Yotsuba&! and is basically a girl dressed as a cardboard box robot. Its great for photography as all of its joint are movable and the eyes can light up also, so you can do many different expressions with it. You can only get them from Japan normally, think I payed nearly £40 for it with shipping.

Self xmas pressie sorted

how did you do that ?

Was accidental actually!

Was taken at during some fire spinning (staff, poi, juggling, etc.) at a firework display. The photo is of one of my friends on fire staff (I think), taken with a very high shutter speed, giving rise to those little wisps of flame

Thanks. I did play with cropping it, but I decided I really liked the range of blues within the shot.

I agree with yantorsen, loose up to the first twig on the bottom and I say that image is fantastic~ Winter Duck Skii...

yantorsen · 8 Dec 2008 at 12:23

Well I'd agree with Dr.Jones with the crop up to the first twig from the bottom, because that bit is out of focus anyway and it just makes the photo too long.

Royal Fleet · 8 Dec 2008 at 12:36

Cropped and upped the saturation slightly

yantorsen · 8 Dec 2008 at 12:39

I'd be tempted to slightly crop the right hand sand too just to get it back to a nice aspect ratio

I prefer the original.. looks colder, and the large surrounding space gives a greater sense of isolation

It looks like a frozen lake to me, rather than sand..
I don't think Ducks typically hang around the beach

Phate · 8 Dec 2008 at 13:21

With that duck shot I would lower the saturation down to about say a quarter then up vibrancy to 3 quarters. Gives it a cool affect

Royal Fleet · 8 Dec 2008 at 13:29

Seems to be some varied opinions on what to do with it

Here is a link to the full size image if anyone wants to have a play.

I am at work so limited in what I can do

Phate · 8 Dec 2008 at 13:32

Will have a play when I get home later

greengiant · 8 Dec 2008 at 17:34

A bit snowy last Friday:

(Was out for a walk rather than going out to take photos, so I just took my P&S. Mind you when i saw this image stitched I wished I had taken along my K100D + tripod :-/ )
