Photo of the day

View attachment 35819

If not a first - a second for me in pic of the day. Shot on a camera phone. My new one - it has two Leica branded lenses in it - one for black and white and one for colour - ah yes - that will be why it was eye wateringly expensive. If using colour the images from the two sensors are meshed together by the software. I must say I'm astonished how good the quality of the image is - this isn't - but it will shoot RAW files - f**k me. It won't replace my 'normal' cameras but for stuff on the fly - like this image - I look forward to using it more. A picture is a picture - no matter how it was originated. Yours - I.

I've just had another look at this photo and all of a sudden I can see more than I did when I first looked at it.
Just right of Middle I can see two people, one may be a reflection but I'm sure one is behind the glass to the left of the window.
The reflection can't be you I because the angles are all wrong but I see two figures or do I?! I could just be looking at light playing on the glass......what is in that shot I? P.
 
Last night - a leaving do for one of the Daily Record staff photographers. Somebody I have worked with for twenty years. On occasion I have pulled his balls out of a sling and he me.Most of the people in this picture are the cream of news photographers in west central Scotland. Some picture editors and writers to boot. It's a dying trade. Children with -IPhones - will replace us. People don't care anymore. If you're interested I'm in this picture. A dinosaur. Yours- I.

A great picture, I'm guessing you are the gentelman in the bright shirt with the suntan, resting your left arm on that woman's leg and she has her hands on your left shoulder........yes?
 
Yes I do P. - I am half of the Spindrift Photo Agency - suppliers of pictures of murderers, pedophiles and general
miscreants since 1996. The pictures I file to the forum are not work pictures. I.
Are you holding a pint glass with your hand on the shoulder of the man in the black tshirt, you have on a large wristwatch? Or perhaps you are the gentelman to the very right of the shot with the cap? I give in :D I need to sleep .
Thank you, it was fun......where's Iain?

Okay - I'm intrigued - you recognise people in the picture? How so? I hadn't been back to the Press Bar since the Herald left - but it hasn't been fu***d up. It's pretty much the same. Yours - I.
 
The three with the caps,do they write for the paper ?.

Pat - from left to right - hat-wise - staff photographer at the Record, next - ex staff snapper at the Herald and Times, now freelance - finally - I have no idea. Looks like a writer to me - too smartly dressed to be a monkey. We are not famed - as a group for our sartorial elegance. Yours - I.

Should have gone to speck savers right enough. In my defence I'm looking at the photo from my iPhone so it's a very very very small screen I'm looking at.
Let's hope I never have to pick someone out of an identity parade,some poor innocent getting shipped to the big hoose.
They still look familiar though viewing from my minute screen :D

Cheers
