(From Glasgow's finest The Blue Nile, and their 1984 debut album A Walk Across the Rooftops)
I think this is just one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever had the pleasure to hear - Paul Buchanan's beautiful voice, the tight rhythm section and the sublime keyboards...I get shivers up and down my spine even now, 25 years after I first heard it. If there was ever a 'Desert Island Disc' for music, this would my number one, no argument!
Once again this was a team effort - I was listening to album, at the same time contemplating an excellent day yesterday and anguishing that I couldn't get a tune to match the triangle theme all the while staring forlornly at the tripod when Finn said something along the lines of 'well, when you use a tripod the camera stays still, it doesn't move...'. Bingo! I'd never thought of it like that, but the lad's right! Huzzah! I cried as I grabbed the old bedsheet and arranged my studio, much to the amusement of Naomi.
Excuse the slight bluey tinge to the light here - I don't know what's causing that, nor the slight pixelation either...anybody got any ideas? Of course, if I desaturate the pic, then the blue tinge goes, but not the pixelation....

A great conversion with gorgeous light and shadow. Love the triangles. I used my tripod quite a lot today and it never occurred to me that there were triangles there. :)

Wow! You have to tell me how you taught it to do that! mine is always roaming all over the place, sometimes I can't keep up ... and I remove it from my wife's car.

The blue tinge can easily be corrected with a tweek of the colours.
The "pixellation" looks more like the picture has been over compressed as a jpeg and the number of colurs has been reduced too far acusing steps rather than smooth bending between the colours
What a fool am I. The triangle standing next to me most of the time, and I have no eyes to see. Great capture. Excellent light and shadowplay. Also love the title and choice of music. v
LOL@Steph! You've even got a mini triangle on the end of the centre column thingy :o)
Do you mean pixellation or posterisation - it looks a bit posterised to me - did you fettle the contrast - and if so, did you do it in 8-bit mode? That's normally where it comes from. Other than that, if it's underexposed it posterises quite easily - hence the 'expose to the right' rule :o)
Dunno 'bout the bloo, unless it's caught a cast from the wall or somefink...?
Nice legs there Doug!
Can you adjust the colors on your computer to delete the blue tinge? Maybe a little more yellow or possibly red?
I've never heard this song before, but I like it!
