Interesting how the name pretty much stayed the same with modern popular products!

That does explain why it would work well with floods if originally designed to be waterproof. Like lost knowledge refound (at least by some!)

Fair point - I use those names for being near enough the same product (sticky cloth tape easily ripped by hand), but I get there are variations for use in more specific cases.

An obvious option, but I reckon the royal family would shut down even reporting that they are trying to report something.

I’m struggling to think of someone who’s been fairly prominent the last few years but fallen off the grid a bit. Politicians are just far too egotistical/morally devoid now to have mental breakdowns so I’d have to guess a TV celeb… Philip Scofield!

Oh, Russell Brand! Could be something new he’s trying to fend off mid-trial. Sounds like the kind of crap he’d pull too.

Because that would create a wildfire of speculation, straight up falsities, half-truths & intential lies which could be far worse than the truth. Although the reasoning sounds BS (the article cites options to protect the accused during reporting) and a permanent ban on reporting whatever this is would be wrong in principal, reporting does need to be responsibly handled.

Are thinking of Duck tape? That’s a brand name dude!

Aka gaffer tape, cloth tape. Not an electrical tape, it’s a general purpose, fix nearly anything tape. Given the name, originally designed to quick fix ducts!

Hope it helps. I’d be interested to see the outcome.

Far whey a whey where the puns are feta.

I personally quite like the wonky horizon. Normally it’d jar badly to me, but it strangely works from an abstract point of view, countering the tilt of the boat.

I get there could be an improvement to the exposure, buy it’s not really that bad. I think it looks worse with the use of a wide angle lens resulting in an imbalance between light & dark elements. Re-composing will help as much as anything.

Talking of the wide angle lens - I’m not that keen on it to fit more into the picture unless it is used to really accentuate something, but then it becomes more graphic design than art-photography for me, if you see what I mean!

In your image it results in the pebbles & sky dominating too much in an unbalanced manner, I think because you can see how they’re stretched. This is probably why your software thinks it’s too softly focussed in the foreground. The landscape behind also starts to get lost as it thins out with wider angles so the foreground interest needs to take over.

I agree, the low p-o-v is great, just move in a tad to accentuate the way the subject looms over the viewer. Also make the chain more prominent to lead the eye +and yes, lose the people and board on the ground). This should also solve much of the negatives in one action! Try some views a tad to one side or the other & see how that plays out too (assuming you go back!)

Overall, a nice shot despite some critisisms :)

Full Circle by Half Moon Run

Can be applied to so many people, though I initially heard it as “…why China don’t build a wall around you”, which I think also works well!
