DM, those tank shots are really nice! :thumb:

@Hotshot: Thanks! The place lends itself to nice photos easily, so it was big fun. I did test the wife's patience sometimes, tho... ;)

Given the current global climate, Santa decided to trade the sleigh in for something with a little more... "protection" :D

(Those of you familiar with CVR(T) will know why I said "protection" :j:)

Edit to add:

I hope your cam has a good burst mode and you didn't have to press the trigger in the right moment

Yeah, tho I was too chicken to use the full 6.5fps burst mode. Maybe next year :D

Also, I've re-edited the photos (the first edits were done on an eeePC, not exactly a suitable photo-editing computer) so they're a bit better now. Conditions weren't great (foggy, sun was directly behind the tank) so I had to push the ISO higher than I'd have liked to get the shutter speed. Still, was a great experience and a great learning experience, and now I know what to expect the next time I'm lucky enough to do such things.

Grabbed some stills from the video, its been down-scaled from 1080p to 720p, and a different codec (damn and blast premiere for not being able to natively handle *.mts) so there has been a bit of a loss in quality. :/

Not exactly "photography", in the traditional sense, but still rather cool and somewhat on-topic for these forums. Also the last of these I'll be bothering you with, honest!

If he asks the boys at DSG Bovington nicely they might sort him out a Plasan kit for Christmas. Might be able to stop 7.62 then :D

Given that St. Nick's fat enough that his arse will touch the engine firewall when driving, at least he'll be *ehem* warm.

Nice CR2 pics though chap. Live fire demos are always a spectacle.

I suppose you mean Schönbrunn, from what I saw there was no picture of the Belvedere ;) It looks similar, at first glance, though.

Good shots, topas. No idea about the Sneakers ... I know in Münster there has been a 5km thread installed aroung the old town (http://www.skulptur-projekte.de/kuenstler/wallinger/), maybe this is similar?

Thx Raedor, interesting link and a somewhat cool art-initiative; I love arts being present in habitated areas in such way; literally 'in the streets' instead of only being locked up in galleries and museums

I will post more from Cracow for sure; but today some snapshots of Warsaw; my current home city... Definately not postcard-material; I hate to take pictures of sth photographed a billion of times already

The fashion boutique closed down decades ago still advertises in a narrow back alley somewhere near Aleje Jerozolimskie St.

Polska Walcząca [Fighting Poland] - symbol of the largest WW2 Underground movement in Europe; here under the railway bridge in the Solec / Powiśle district

Interesting about this is that this wall is a part of the ground floor of a recently erected modern office building
