Superb. I'm glad you included a couple showing the bridge and The Shard.
Leaving soon?

When I first joined PPG it was worth it. There was some superb photography and your submissions had to be good to stand a chance of acceptance. You entered up to five pictures a week, other members voted thumbs up or thumbs down and after two or three weeks you found out if any were accepted. The delay between posting and acceptance became longer and longer and I got the impression that eventually the selection became lazy and just about everything submitted was accepted. Standards had dropped.
I haven't visited the site for months.

I can't pick a favourite - they are all outstanding. You've captured the magic. mystery and majesty of this wonderful landscape. As Derek said, you have a special skill in photographing water.

Very relaxed about photography, unlike Durham, but you pay a £5 entry fee to enter.

I was in the West Country last week and visited Exeter where I found photo inspiration in the cathedral. Good to compare differences in architectural styles with my neighbouring cathedral in Durham.

Yes Alan, she's a popular model at the Whitby Goths. Her dad Stephen is a member of Durham Photographic Society.

Following Barrie's post from Durham Photographic Society's model night project here's a few of my results. Just got round to doing these as I'v been away in Somerset for a few days.

It was a joy to work with these models, non-studio portrait photographers like me can learn so much from them. Barrie and I have worked with Victoria and Sam previously and they seem to appreciate samples of the work we send them.
A very good set Barrie.

A beautiful setting for a restored steam railway and well documented by you Don. Fortunately the track doesn't seem too overgrown but I'm sure there's a lot of work to do before the railway is running again.

Its a super set with plenty of variety in the poses and backgrounds. I'm sure the happy couple were delighted with these Gareth. I particularly like the portrait of the bride inside her veil.
