Good point Daniel and one i hadn't considered.
I guess one is an artist with vairous meduims at one's disposal, one of them being photography.

I think that's an awesome shot Paul. Very minimalistic which is right up my street.
Do you know, half of me loves the vapour trail, yet I also think the image is so strong without it. The composition is perfect. The shot of the building is such that it almost turns into an art form, just the small black air ducts suggest that it is still a building.
Love the different shades of grey in the glass and the smooth tonality in the sky.
A truly stunning shot for me mate that I would seriously consider buying if on sale in a gallery. Well done!

Obviously I take photographs, but I definately do post process some to the extent that they are abstract artforms. If you look in my portfolio (red, green and sensor noise) you will see what I mean.

I also paint in oil on canvas and my next projects are to paint, to re-create these abstract photographs that I have made, onto canvas. Due to the busy nature of the images I am not sure yet of the technique I will end up using, but it will be challenging and labour intensive.

The canvases will be a good size, at least 4 x 3 foot.

I guess this shows how photography can be art? Perhaps the answer is when the photographic image is abstract or unrecognisable, it falls into the art camp?

Cheers chaps, will try bluetack I think then.
As for optical quality, I am expecting a lo fi result which is possibly part of the appeal. We will see. I'll post images.

Easily done, a few wines, ipod with SLEEP on (or any other stoner rock) and you are away!

Exellent taste! Saw the Cult last week in Leeds.

For the German/European guys here, RAMSTEIN!
I rode to Berlin on my motorbike a few years back to watch em.

Yes it's a cheap £1.30 10 stop ND filter in essence.
I just need to figure out a light proof way of fixing it on to my lense.

It is glass for a welding mask. The idea is to get a super long exposure from it.

I have just bought some glass to put in front of one of my lenses, I will probably use a manual 28mm. The glass is size 4 1/4 x 3 1/4 inches.
Any suggestions how to stick it onto the lense so it is light proof?
I was thinking of a circle of bluetac.
