Here's one for all you duck fans:

Don't worry, the ducks say that they don't mind security catching up with them

 

[fezzyben]

I love ducks especially crispy and in pancakes

Even culvert ducks?

 

[ashless]

Good work guys!

If so I wouldn't class it as light painting, more illumination apocalypse

Bwahaha! You know it!

 

[james.s]

Ah, Ashless has showed up. Thanks Ashless

Yeah me too, I occasionally do it just to make fun of people who do, I say "LOL, ROFL, XD, PMSL, LMAO etc."
That gets them

Oh yeah rofl is quite a frequent one in my vocab. never heard of PMSl and just wouldnt say XD!

 

[james.s]

Just google PMSL, XD is just stupid, like I said, I only use such words to annoy people who use them in real life

Revisit

I revisited Chaddesden culvert today, and was pleased to see my photography skills improve before my very eyes! I tried light painting more this time, but unfortunately my camera decided to pepper my images with hot pixels, I have sorted the photos out and here they are

woo great yey YOU ROCK!!

What are you on about

 

[spartacus]

I'm sorely tempted to take the metal detector down one of these places.. I'll bet there's a fortune in gold jewelry, silver, coins etc. stuck in them.

On a treasure hunting forum I'm a member of, there's a few Yanks on there who make a tidy living from scavenging drains & sewers.

 

[thompski]

Nice shots from your second visit J - its a good place to practice that sort of stuff in my view, might take another trip down in a few weeks myself. I'm feeling brave enough to go culverteering again after my previous episode

Spaffing drainer pose too, after two culverts your putting me to shame chap.

What happened last time?
Don't feel bad, your stuff is great!

Lets just say water and camera is not a good combination

Cheers - I try, fail but try again anyway

 

[james.s]

C'mon, cheer up. I am sure your camera is not ruined Nothing some WD40 and duct tape cannot fix

You will certainly not fail. I spent hours cloning hot pixels on those
