Boakesy53's photostream
|
Love taking photos but never take the time to delete unwanted shots. Got two computers full of pictures!
Make that three now.
Back to two now but since I've transfered all the images before scrapping it... I'm no further forward!
Since joining Flickr I have been overwhelmed with the talent on show. There are some amazing technical shots, some strange and interesting shots and some just plain funny.
Something for everyone and plenty to learn from. I have some wonderful contacts and enjoy their slant on life.

The Thinner the Air says:
"What more can I say? Boakesy53 is indeed a fantastic contact, the kind of contact who makes flickr such a great place to be. I always look forward to his thoughtful and insightful comments; it means a huge amount to me to have contacts like this. He also has one of the best senses of humour I've come across on flickr. And he takes great pictures too! - especially his graceful landscapes and panoramas, and his beautifully-observed wildlife photos. He clearly has some means of talking to wild birds to get them in exactly the right place! And he weaves so many fascinating stories into his pictures and how he describes them. Thank you, Boakesy53!"

"A Flickr contact like David who makes original, thoughtful and often witty comments is worth a hundred others who just slap an icon on your images and say 'wow' or 'awesome'. His observations often highlight an aspect of my photographs I that I hadn't noticed before, and so add to my enjoyment. Likewise, I always anticipate his wonderful macros, landscapes and nature shots, not to mention the occasional off-the-wall shot to surprise us."

I always look forward to what he is going to say next, as he usually shares an interesting perspective. Many people don't take the time or trouble to make really significant comments, but that is something at which he really excels! Thanks, David!"
