johnloguk > Vertical Himalayan Triptych

This is a re-working of an old colour transparency from an expedition to climb Chulu East in the Manang Himal area of Nepal. I like the concept of triptychs, to separate an image into 3 images that can stand alone, while still achieving a single image. Triptychs are normally horizontal, this is the first time I've tried a vertical one
johnloguk > 15.3.09 - Rock and Roll

I spent today at a place called Stanage Edge, a real Mecca for rock climbers. I took hundreds of shots and I'm not half-way through processing them yet, but I thought I'd better get a Daily posted before midnight our time. I think I might have made it by a minute :) 

I like adding this zoom effect to make vertigo sufferers suffer even more, it was a really great shoot, I've missed getting my hands on some steep rock, it was like stepping back in time, a fantastic day. I hope to get the gallery up some time tomorrow. It should suit adrenaline junkies and people who love sweeping landscapes and big vistas, oh and the odd sheep :)

Late Edit; check out my very different Monday Challenge shot here -  http://www.lightanddreamsphotography.com/gallery/7093288_hSxt4#492539426_KGc5f
johnloguk > 14.11.08 - Escapism

Some days drive you mad, and then there was today! What could go wrong did go wrong, and what didn't go wrong didn't matter anyway. For the fifth week running my courier messed up and my brain exploded. I'm normally such a placid, philosophical and pragmatic guy, but repeated incompetence sometimes needs a rant to get the message across. Next Friday will tell whether or not the rant was worth it, I wait with baited breath.

You will have noticed from past Dailies that when I'm really p****d off I retreat into my head and beautiful high mountains. This is one of my favourite places, it has featured here before, but this is a new panoramic image that I created this evening to cheer myself up. This is Taweche Towers, at about 18,000', looking south across the Khumbu Valley in Nepal. Mount Everest is back over my left shoulder. Considerably less people have stood on the summit of Taweche Towers than have summitted Everest itself, this is a magical place. I wish I could take you all there.

And yes, I'm feeling much better now thanks :)
johnloguk > 23.5.08 - Because it was there! The things we do for a Daily eh :) I've had my usual manic Friday, and it was meant to end with an appointment at 7pm. But the guy rang me to say he was running an hour late, so what was I to do while I was waiting? I could have come home, it wasn't far away, but there wasn't time to cook a meal or do anything much. Then a wild thought came into my mind, "go down to the quarry and have a play on the rocks"! Now I do this quite often, but not usually inbetween work appointments, but what the hell....

I'm afraid I couldn't get far before the timer went off, but I did make it to the top. Getting back down was much harder :)

I'm just a big kid really, and damn proud of it. I wasn't really dressed for rock climbing though, I could have done with some baggier pants!
