1. wow... your color saturation

changes with direction? I did not know that.

[JeffR]

2. It only works if you have a magic circular polarizer like I do.

After that it's all downhill.

[Adsos Letter]

3. LOL!

Love to know what that conversation is about.

[JeffR]

10. Now everyone here is going to get a magic polarizer!

:cry:

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

13. yep, you started

the arms race again

the great magic polarizer scare of 2010 is ON!

4. So many stories in that last one

We could write a movie script around it.

[JeffR]

8. Felt sort of like I was violating their privacy

but they were an irresistible subject.

5. These are wonderful, JeffR

The first one is my favorite.

[JeffR]

9. Thanks.

First one could definitely use a few mountains.:)

6. do you know the song The Cherry Beach Express

by The Pukka Orchestra? It's about the beach as the site where cops like to take people to put the boots to them. One local won a rather large civil judgment against about 6 of them...amazingly. Remember? I had heard about that practice for years and considered it an urban legend until then.

[JeffR]

7. Thanks for the reminder about that song!

I just found it on Youtube and gave it a virtual spin.

A lot of people, I think, just couldn't get their heads around the idea that the cops did that. I wonder if it's still happening, there or somewhere a little less notorious.

11. these are lovely, Jeff

although I have to admit, I read the title as "Cherry Bench" and scrolled down looking for the bench. :blush:


:rofl:

12. Kind of a good idea for a contest:

Typo titles!

[Celebration]

14. All are wonderful

and have that solitary feeling.

The third is actually my favorite, because of the way the horizon meets the sky, and the understated colors. I feel as if I am there. In all honesty, I never feel as if I am in the moment in black and white photos, though often I respect them from an artistic point of view. But seeing your last two together really drives this home to me. I am "there" in the third one. I am merely the observer in the last one.

15. I like the third one the best by far,

yet I wish it had a bit more water on the bottom.
Great fun to see the changes from color to b/w.
