Debbie's Photoblog
My favourite place
Posted by jamesy (christchurch, New Zealand) on 7 November 2008 in People & Portrait.
I have taken a bit of poetic license with this title and after alot of thought decided to post this photo. This was taken one night when I got together with two other Am3 photographers Max and Liners and we went out for an evening of the three F's fun, food and fotography (couldn't resist). It was one of the most relaxing times and a real favourite. So what could be more of a favourite place to be than with good friends, having fun, eating good food and taking fotos. but wait thats four F's hehehe thanks Kylie for yet again having the energy to organise these days.
I really enjoy taking photos and would appreciate your feedback so that I can learn as I go. I particularly enjoy photographing birds animals and landscapes

Sounds like it was a great outing with friends. When I first was looking at this photo, I thought it was a composition of three shots of you, until I looked closer and discovered the brunette on the far left. Nice composition.

@Steven: Thanks Steven definately three different people all in the same shot. from left Me. Liners and Max

Jeffster from Long Island, United States
At first glance I thought I was seeing in triple. I think we could all use a night out with 3 or 4 "F's" in it. I know what one of them would be and it wasn't on your list!
If you want an 8X10 inch print, I can do that myself. I wouldn't think of charging you. What size print did you have in mind?
8 Nov 2008 4:06am
@Jeffster: Thanks Jeff I wonder what your F would be. An 8x10 would be great but its got to get all the way to NZ. Are you sure that I can't pay?
Maxine from Rangiora, New Zealand
