Some really great stuff there Darren.

it's always nice to see someone else's 'eye'.

[DarkArtist81]

Damn Darren! You renaissance man, you!! Is there any thing artistic you CAN'T do? :lol

Love the paintings, as well as the photographs.... some stunning work in there. Loving it, can't wait to see more bro. :rock

[figuremasterles]

I literally got teary eyed seeing those first two paintings again, Darren. You know I love 'em both! You really spoke with those two. To me anyway.

And that one shot of the dolphin feeding! WOW! What luck! MAN! You know how hard it is to capture that!?!?!?!
Man!

I have some old shots, and some art...I need to post.
Will do, but for now, loving these images. This was a great idea. Darklord Dave? Was this your's?

Great stuff Darren! As always!

[Amanaman]

Beautiful work, man. You can do anything, and do it well! May you find abundant inspiration for years to come.

Thanks for sharing! :rock

Of the pics you've posted here this is my favorite. You have a very good eye sir and a great talent (in so many artistic mediums).

[pixletwin]

Not bad (for an atheist). :monkey3

yeah, I specifically started with those two as I remember you saying you liked them. That was for you :)

There's a place in Scotland that we go to every year, and you just stand on the beach.. certain times of year, and pretty much every day you see dolphins. We've got some amazing shots from lasat year (the campsite is up against the dolphin beach.. .it's where i proposed to jane, sun rising... golden light... dolphins in the water.... lol) but that salmon feeding shot was one of the first shots we got from the first time we went.

a VERY lucky shot. I'll edit a couple from last year, they were jumping SO high out of the water. Flicking huge salmon way up into the air.. everything. a magical place to be. No cages, no glass tanks... just dolphins... in the wild, doing what they do. We love it there.

That picture of the valley and river is beautifull..

Where is it?


pretty much all of the scenery pics up there are in Scotland

Not bad (for an atheist). :monkey3

hehe.... I may not believe in any magical mythical higher power, but I still appreciate a good image. And churches and cathedrals are simply gorgeous buildings. Especially that one... that's in Pisa, Italy. (sat right next to the leaning tower) made of white marble... I'll post more pics at some point, they're up on my shapshot site, blobgoesto.com. It's a lovely place

......and to everyone else who left a comment. Thanks, seriously. I'm just lucky I guess.. and sometimes it's easy to take a nice photo if you're in the right place. I loved reading all your comments :bow

Here's some photos from Paris, when we went a few years back for about 5 days. God I love this city.

(I ran out of time editing the pics so I've got a ton more.. might post some more one day)

yeah I was really lucky there. We were walking along the River Seine, and there were a bunch of students out over on the opposite side having lunch, and as I'm always looking for photo ops instead of just taking in the scenery, I spotted it. Grabbed my camera (as quick as I could) got myself into the right place, and hey presto.... really cool pic.

Sometimes you just have to be in the right place at the right time...

...and you where. What really adds to this pic is the last 3 people toward the bottom. The couple on the right: with her reaching for her buddy's head...it leads your eye all the way down the photo.
