This thread is for random pictures of random things in random places by random people - so basically this is the place for random photographs.

Welcome newbies... Always great to see you moving away from lurking to taking part - we won't bite (eh... too often).

No expectation of quality or content. It's for everyone. This thread exists because it is good to share Please familiarise yourself with the rules before posting.

A little discussion is allowed but don't enter into debate as the thread is intended mainly to show photographs.

Thread rules [Please Read] NB - IMPORTANT STUFF NEXT

* General Charter Rules Apply

* All images must be 800 pixels or less on the longest side. Any posts with images which break this rule will be deleted.

* No Quoting Images - Please don't include the original picture in your reply to a post.

* Making your picture a link to the page it's hosted on flickr or pix.ie or elsewhere is both handy for us nosy lot to find the rest of your stuff, and also generally considered the polite thing to do by the image host. Indeed for some including pix.ie and flickr, it is a condition of using their service.

* No arguments. Self explanatory really.

* If you have a disagreement with a photo, use the report post feature - don't go abusing the poster.

* Try keep to one or two images per post. Then allow some more people to post, then feel free to post again. Do this as often as you like!

The most important rule: Enjoy and have fun.

If you find yourself on the wrong side of these rules, prepare yourself for your post to be deleted, or if you've been feicing around repeatedly, prepare yourself for break from the forum.

If you do actually read this then please hit the thanks button - not that i'm so vain as to want a post of mine thanked - but as a little social experiment as to who actually reads the opening post on the thread, heheheh....

By submitting your image to the random thread it will be considered for the forum's Photo of the Week as outlined on the ideas thread. Don't worry, this isn't a daunting experience - you won't even know until it happens

Thank you.

Now off with ya!

New flash so experimenting using it off camera. Lots of trial and error, fun - and mess:) Water has a nasty habit of getting everywhere!

technical info for keps:
Camera on manual F16, 200 seconds (flash sync speed). 580ex speedlite on manual 1/128 power from the right bounced off blue card behind. Flash was only about 12 inches from background.

Part of my 'Today in the Office' project which started on twitter and is probably going to morph into a sofobomo project too.

nice composition - apart from the shoes (and the odd sleeve or glove etc) you could swear it was an overlay of the same person's fluid movement.

Nothing astonishing but it is a 'random' thread after all..

View from the top of a diving board in Salthill

View looking down - I was a wee bit nervous standing on the edge looking into shallow water, holding a 7D. Couldn't even take the photo straight:)

I'd have been nervous without the camera!

Was at Dun Aengus last summer and this is probably as close to the edge as I got the whole time we were there:

I'm sure I got closer the time before that. I must be getting old.

Cork bus station. I had no tripod, so I used the traffic light control box (bottom left) for support.

My parents are moving back into the house my father was born in, after my aunt moved out last year. The outhouses and loft are full of lovely dirty old things

I have a set of the few photos I took there on flickr
here if anyone's interested.
