This is the maiden city. Londonderry/Derry.N,IrelandTaken from the top of the hill,as they call it.Took quite a few,as im trying out different exposure times n stuff.This waas taken on a 30 second exposure,as i wanted to capture all the light trails,from the traffic.The bridge in the pic,is known as the Craigavon Bridge,and links the 2 halves of the city together,ie,Londonderry/Derry.

Am thinking of entering it in the next club competition,but my nephew took the same location a week ago,and although in colour,i dont think it would be fair on him,as i recon it looks better in black n white,and wouldn't want to do the dirty.Somewhere along the line though,there will be a black n white comp again,so it will keep.Must put on some of the street life stuff i took on halloween night,when i was out n about,in the Maiden City that night,as that is what this months competition is about.Ie,street life.Will just get them sorted now in photobucket.Glad you all enjoyed that one.Will post one in colour too.

Ok.Here are a few of the firework display 1st.Thought some of these were stunners,till i got home and found that i had over exposed a lot of them,leaving them useless.Wasn.t the fireworks that i went to photograph though,and was well pleased with my street life pix.Oh how i wish i was lad again.Totaly different world to the one i grew up in.Hope the judge has a sence of humour.

Now what about these

 

[billyboy45]

Photobucket hasn't done these justice,as they are much,much better,on paper.

Now there is a story behind this one,and i had to delete the few that came after this one,as there was a bit more on show here,after these 2,and a few othwers who joined in,had finished knocking the pan off each other.This was a fight that i wanted nowt to do with,

but what happened an hour or so later,left me heading for my car,and out of Londonderry in quite a hurry.Now this wee lassy,was talking to me for quite a while,and telling me how pissed off she was with her boyfriend,or so called boyfriend.As he was pissing her about,and snogging everyone who would take him on.She was slightly pissed too,but pretty well behaved.She wanted a few pix took of herself,as she didn't want him in a photo with her.Anyhow,i had just started taking a few,when just as i pressed the shutter,he appeared from nowhere,and whipped her trouses and what were supposed to be some sort of knickers,(minus about 90% of the material),down round her ankels,leaving her completely naked,from the waist down.My imediate reaction,or should i say reflex,went in his direction,and only for the police seeing everything that happened,i would have been arrested.I went with the girl,and the police woman,to a more relaxed part of the street,so that i could show them both,that what i had in the camera,(and i had everything)was deleated there and then,for them both to see.I was advised by the police to call it a night,for my own safety,and thanked for what i did to that so n so,for what to me,was totaly uncalled for,and so degrading to that poor girl.I do hope that his nose was well and truly broken,as i give that one punch,all i had.As the police put him in the meet wagon i don't know,but i do hope that wee girl see's sence,and dumps the animal.This is she,and he,about 1/2 an hour or so before the happenings.I will post this one only,as it dont show her face,just in case anyone on here would know her.

Now to finnish off.This one will be put in the club competition,as i like the way he just seems to jump into the pic,and also because they want at least one black n white Street life pic,from each club member.

This girl just couldn't get enough of the camera

This one thought she was Amy Winehouse.(Seriously)You wouldn't believe the pose's she was getting herself into.I realy think she was hurting somewhere.

This one is going in the open competition,as i think it was my photo of the night.As i said,photobucket is not doing these pix much credit,but it's not always like

this.Anyhow these 2 have given me their permission to enter this in whatever i want

tne more thing id like to add her is this.There is a law about taking pix of people,especialy kids,under 16.Just in case someone thinks im some sort of perv,or whatever.I never knowingly took one photo of an under 16 year old,unless a parent was with them,and turnrd down hundreds of people,who wanted their photo taken,as i wasn't sure of their age.I have been vetted for taking photoes by the authorities,on numerous occasion,as my wife and i worked with church youth groups for quite a few years.This is a thing that must be done,for the safety of our kids.I will finish off with this evil looking brute.Makes the old hair stand on end.

Billy...
