Title: [Theme] Show us your last few shots of 2015
Post by: Anirban Halder on December 31, 2015, 09:18:06
Ending another year of photos. Below shots were taken today, 31st Dec, in Bangalore. For a change I tried to capture all "in camera". No post processing, no cropping; below are JPEGs from Fuji X-T10.

Show us your last ones of 2015's photos; processed/unprocessed anything. They need not be shot today or yesterday; they can be the ones shot week/month ago if those are your lastest of 2015.

1. No Smoking! **That's Hindu God "Hanuman", btw.
Film Mode - Fuji Velvia. Pre-set 1x1 aspect ratio in-camera.

2. Birds.
Film Mode - Fuji Velvia

3. Missing buttons!
Film Mode - Standard (Provia). Lacked framing, but I liked the end result.

Nice idea, Anirban!

We Japanese eat buchwheat noodle (called "soba") during the New Year's Eve.  In some prefetrue, people eat wheat noodle instead.  Anyway, the last image I would make in 2015 would thus be this.

Wish you all a happy new year!

Wish everyone a very happy new year!

These are not the last ones, but the dearest ones.
In 2015 I made some wonderful new friends and I got a new lens - the Helios Zenit 85/1.5.

More of the same in 2016  8)

Great idea.  Interesting, I could not view the images until I logged on or my Broadband had a momentary lapse  :o

Anirban, I like the chicken shop.   

Jakov just too cool.  Those lenses do throw up some great interesting effects , as does the Photog  ;D .


 Akira, I'll be having Marsala Prawns for dinner but will be too dark for even the Df, but I'll try  ;).

 Peter, now that is interesting.  If I felt like fighting the 100K people at the nearby Clubs and beaches I could probably get some fun, funny images but I'm walking down the road to a local shack  ;)

Let us all have a great one and see you in the New Year.
Tom

@ Anirban : I wonder which animal the mouth of your first character is from ? Monkey ? as we can see a tail.

@ Akira : appetizing dish ! Buckwheat noddle would be suitable for gluten free diet.

@ Jakov ; your images are both superb ! Very arty... ;) I didn't know this lens performs so well.

Now few shots of nature, not very spectacular, perhaps boring, but I love this sandy and acidic areas. They are my playgrounds. Poor in nutriments, but floristically interesting.

Yes, that's monkey. Your playground is very cool. I can imagine the photos ops there! I really like your last photo (reply#10).

Jakov - both the images are very very classy and they have your signature all over them! :)

Harald - very sharp! I like the lights in the background.

Robert - you surely are enjoying the most beautiful natural phenomenon on earth, on new years eve!

Rather warm the last two days of the year where a Chinook blowing over Alaska Range warmed us up from -25°C  to +7°C.

Yes!  This is also true here in California.  Such areas are limited in my region but very interesting.  One example is the pygmy coniferous forest (http://"http://blog.conifercountry.com/2014/07/the-ecological-staircases-of-mendocino-county/") found in scattered locations with specialized nutrient-poor soil along the northern California coastal areas, where trees a meter high may be 80 years old. These areas consist almost entirely of species of Pinaceae, Cupressaceae, and Ericaceae with the conifers highly dwarfed. Surrounding areas with more normal soils have a much more diverse flora that is typical of the north coastal region of temperate coniferous rainforest.

I haven't walked in these forests in 35 years as I've focused on other locations of interest, but this is definitely a vegetation type I want to return to with suitable photographic gear and plenty of time to shoot carefully.

I wish everyone  a brilliant and healthy 2016.


Still middle in the post-processing, but this was the last shot of 2015, at the end of the 12-hour TV and Radio broadcast of the Tilburg Top1000 music-event at the 31.12.2015.  24 dj's presented the program and more than 17 musicians made live a performance.

Shot after the show with ; on the left  Hetty who presented a part of the show and on the right the Tilburg Rapper Ludo.  He had a top10 position with his Rap version of the dutch Folksinger Armand''Ben ik te Min'  who passed away a few weeks ago.

I though I commented on you shot.

It invokes a great yearning in me, although readinmg the news I cetrainly do not want to got to Mexico. I feel it is too dangerous and as many states in the world currently ruled by gangsters...

New Year's Eve.
Asle - what a terrific shot! I can imagine how beautiful it will look in a mural size print. I feel cold by just looking at this photo.
