Not a bad spot for a bootcamp! Are thse HDR pics?- love the colors- very nice

 

It's more of a team building and leadership skills training bootcamp. The 1st one is an HDR (3 shots) while the 2nd was just from a single photo. All taken with a canon G11.

 

I'm glad you like them.

I have been awol for a while. Very busy and not out and about with my trusty little camera. Loving all the photos. Can't go wrong with the bird and nature shots, all lovely.

 

Ravi, your bootcamp pics are beautiful and Blueboss, that pic of the jet is amazing.

 

I have just returned from a cruise to Europe. Loved it!

 

Thought I would share a few of the photos I took there. (sorry to disappoint, not of the typical sights).

Dileep, very cool kite and great pics.

 

Ravi, that Mallard shot is brilliant.

 

Boeckli, good eye. ;)

 

Speaking of the Eye, here's one taken from the London Eye, where we were stuck and stranded on the very top for over 45 minutes!

Speaking of the Eye, here's one taken from the London Eye, where we were stuck and stranded on the very top for over 45 minutes! And how many of you in there at the time?

At least you had a great view - and pleasant weather it seems - but I imagine it would be disconcerting to be stuck up there for so long ... Are these 'pods' air-conditioned? How many people in there at the time?

The pods hold 25 people but we were there early enough that there were probably only 1/2 that on our trip. They are very comfortable but I am not sure if air conditioned, it was a cooler day.

It was a beautiful, sunny and clear day so the view was amazing. The wheel travels at such a slow speed, one half hour for each loop, so slowly that it never stops even to board or disembard so it took us a minute to realize that we weren't actually moving. After 25 minutes without any communication they announce that wheelchairs and scooters should 'lock down' ... that got us a little nervous and we all quickly sat down on the bench in the middle and held on. After 45 minutes it began to move once again. No explanations were given. One of my party does not like closed in spaces but being so open it was fine, until the thought of spending any more time in there brought on a sweat. :p

Inside the 'pod'.

You are up higher than you first realize.

The London Eye from across the Thames. That is the aquarium next to it.

Really liking this picture, so crisp and I can see the water drops on the body.

This mallard passed behind me and I'm glad I was able to react quickly and took 2 shots. He was so close that this is almost full frame. I'm glad you like it.

 

 

Awesome captures! Thanks for sharing them.

 

Thank you Bryan for the nice words.
