Almost a tribute to Mike Buckley

[pnodrog]

Oops! I was so taken by the fact that you thought of me when you came upon glasses that had been maintained so well that I forgot to attend to that issue.

Indeed, when I come upon a very simple scene that I want to photograph in black-and-white, I think of Donald. That's especially true if I'm composing it to include a large sky. Though this thread is more than two years old, that has happened several times since then.

Yes the maintenance lavished on the invaluable glassware was breathtakingly distracting.

I am very impressed. Not so much that you thought of Donald (that's the easy bit) but that you found the thread again and could give us a link to follow.

I am very impressed...that you found the thread again

I simply conducted a search of "Donald" using the advanced method that allowed me to confine the search to thread titles and to threads started by me.

When i see a gorgeous landscape and then I then think how beautiful it would look in black and white, I think of Donald.

Just catching up after being out all day yesterday.

Thank you. You flatter and honour me. And I keep very much to the mantra that if I can learn how to do it, then anyone can.

The important thing is, I think, that we be as good as we can be at conveying, in the our images, the world as we see it, whether it's landscapes, street scenes, wine bottles, etc.

However I was interested if any others are occasionally reminded of a fellow CinC member when they are not online?

I can add a me too. A few of my pictures of vines etc. taken in France had in mind both Donald and Mike - thankfully they appreciated the good wine region I was in, so the thoughts were not wasted. It does seem that wine is a theme though................

As if there is another worthwhile theme? Nah. Couldn't be.
