here's mine, the last night of an exhausting week spent at an outdoor activity centre in Bradwell-on-Sea in Essex -with 20 kids/"young people" all with drug and alcohol issues!

these are taken from the beach by Bradwell power station - nice - with a really cheap digital camera after a pretty heavy thunder storm.

Thanks Fordie, what a star you are... But I didn't take it, i had it downloaded and thought it looked same as ... see below.... beautiful piccie though

Phoenix n max, see how identical this is to yours? Thats why i asked if you got it from astronomy of the day. Either that, of you've sent your photo in and you should be given royalties, you could be famous?

Yeah i'm just looking at it. In mine the tripod leg is just visible in the left hand corner as a friend was stood beside me taking a shot too.

How weird - where is the one you have from ? I've got a succession of them taken as the sun went down. I thought that one was the best.

Deffo my photo and I don't recall posting it ever before either !

Heres one a few mins earlier and minus tripod leg. It was taken Easter 2003. I'm confused now

[Fordie]

Yep nearer nuf the same thanks to Photoshop 4D

[phoenix n max]

Yeah but what i'd like to know is how it's turned up when to my knowledge i've never posted it before It's sat on my hd in it's full size and i resized for the first time to post on here. Same with the second one, i've got 6 others too, exact same shot but over time as the sun goes down. The last one ( eg the first one i posted and the one melnie has) was the last shot I took.

Jools, thanks for the comments, BUT when I took the shot on a exposure of about 6 sec at f22 a bloke in a single skull rowed across the river in front of me right across the picture,You can even see where he dipped his oars in on each stroke If you look just under the bridge you can see a faint streeking on the water where he rowed by,that's how to take pictures in crowded places , unless the subject is stationary if won't come out on film.
