New Years photos here, please

Re: New Years photos here, please

Ok, mine's a bit of a cheat - I set the camera up, having already taken a couple of photos of the people in the pub but they're a bit on the rubbish side!

Just after midnight, passed the camera to the landlord and asked him to take one of me and my partner, and this is the result. The theme down our local was 'black and white', so at least one of us fulfilled the criteria (and I've now managed to get most of the glitter of his suit!)

Here's our New Year's morning, a chilly, wet day on Vancouver Island. My wife, Ann, shot this as Summer and I returned home from our soggy morning walk.

So there was a bit of a shower this morning?

You just can't beat a bit of black pudding, can you? Had some myself this very morning

I had noticed that. Is it typically a Yorkshire delicacy or do people eat black pudding Nationwide?

Well, we eat it in Essex . Not often admittedly but it goes so well with a fry-up ("grill-up" in my case) - you should try it. Just don't think about the ingredients

I have tried it Stuart. Some of the men in our Photographic Socy, bring it as their contribution to the Buffet when we have one.

I think Black Pudding may originate in Lancashire. I remember as a child an old monologue by Stanley Holloway where he refers to "Bury, where Black Puddings is made..."

Yup, it comes from Bury originally. However I feel that we've made it our own across t' Pennines, and they don't seem to mind stuffing their faces with our Yorkshire Puds, do they..?

My daughter (aged eight) loves black pudding, but won't eat such "delicacies" as baked beans.........or roast beef. The mind boggles...

After spending about 3 hours taking the Christmas trimmings down and putting them away my husband just flopped. I was trying out my new camera and when I saw people's NY Day entries, I realised this was the only picture I had! You can see the empty boxes which still need to be filled with the lights that are strewn along the hall.

Like Pol I took one about 1.15 am through my bedroom window, of the moon, but it is no good and this is the only other pic I have of today.

Aye, a bit of a shower. And it's still dumping on us now, at 3:15 pm.........r
and p.s. please keep the black pudding in Yorkshire or wherever it belongs.....

It belongs wherever those who like it can actually buy it; pretty much anywhere where there's enough demand...

We have a saying here in Yorkshire - "Don't knock it 'til th'as tried it..."

Re: New Years photos here, please

I spent New Year's Eve over my sister's house with relatives and firends. I missed the fire crackers in downtown Athens.
This is a photo from some local cafes located inside a Mall where I went for a coffee tonight.

That's spectacular George - would have done for your 'Blue' entry for the salon.

A Happy New Year to You.

Here's a few from my New Years day, mostly centred around a walk to and around Fleet Pond, which is actually the largest freshwater lake in Hampshire, England, in the town of Fleet, which is not far from Farnborough.

These were all taken using an Olympus E-400 and Digital Zuiko 50-200 (100-400) f/2.8-3.5 (see them in my forum gallery for more details). I had stupidly forgotten to set the camera to record RAW files, so these are all from the in-camera JPEG, though some tweaking has been done in Photoshop on some, in no particulrar order:

Lara looks out across the Fleet Pond.

I really liked the colours on this lop-sided post.

Our kids with our friends' two in very harsh (but welcome, nonethless!)sunlight!

A bridge that might have come in handy for the last Salon competition

Lara, just begging for a surprise swim, I reckon!

I found this view rather representative of the calm and quiet kind of day that we had for New Years.

Finally, a marsh land view adjacent to the Fleet Pond. This could have done with some more features in the sky...
