Been a while since I posted any images for C&C, it will be interesting to see if others find the same problems with these as I do

All taken recently in Barcelona, WHAT, you have'nt been shame on you.....actually it was our first visit and the place is amazing.

First shot the famous Casa Batlo, a bit pricey to get in but a photographers paradise, I also spied a K100 user in there but she was young and attractive so left her alone

Second shot is a street musician in the square by the Cathedral, these guys were OK (if you liked that sort of music) and looked to be having a really good time, ENJOY this image......it cost me TWO EURO'S!!!!!

Last but not least is the sort of quirky shot I look for, god knows what the food from this place does to you no wonder the locals all had smiles on their faces

I really like the first shot, shame about the annoying little ?flag pole at the bottom. The last one made me laugh! Good stuff.

Cheers, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Nice shots - I visited Barcelona last year for a long weekend and we had a fantastic time, that first image brings back happy memories.

I thought all Pentax users were young and attractive?

Memories for me too, and missing friends.

LOVE #3, a little humor in a shot is right up my alley. Nicely composed, too. I'll have the club sandwich.

But why in the world would you leave a young attractive girl alone::

Well all of the above could apply but the real reason was I didn't want to get into a conversation and upset the poor girl, just imagine her crying on her best friends shoulder "I got chatted up today by this really charming old guy, I was really flattered until I discovered he was only interested in my PENTAX!!!!"

PS;
Kris, yes I didn't like the flagpole either, I may yet try and clone it out.
Terry, the missing balcony is the whole point of the image, with the bottom right one partially obscured the eye is focused on the pattern made by the other four. (it was for me anyway)

Terry, you seem to be having a problem putting stuff in quotes

You have to click the Quote button then insert the text in between the quote and /quote that appears

You then have to get the cursor behind the /quote to start the rest of your message (I always start a new line) If your already doing this then you have a problem elswhere.
