Best of Random Gallery Pics

[Jamie Pillers]

Yahoooo... after 5 years here, I get it now!! 😛

Best idea for a thread in ages. I've kicked myself on more than a few occassions for not favouriting ramdom images, just as I click a link and it's gone, forever.

Excellent new thread...

le vrai rdu - Hippodrome

I always remember the image above. Simply brilliant

^Seconded. "Hippodrome" is one of my personal RFF classics. Right up there with Keith's shot that started the "Medium Format, long may it live" thread.

Maybe somebody in this thread can help me find a shot I saw long ago and didn't bookmark. It was a portrait of a young woman, possibly taken by her father at a 4th of July or similar outdoors event, in B&W. It was the best capture of that very teenage "I hate you for taking my picture but I still want to look good" expression I have ever seen.

Not sure I could have taken this one. I'm moved viewing it though.

I am pretty sure that is Bangkok.....Am I correct?

cheers, michael

This is a great idea for a photo centric thread. I'ts kind of like a photo slot machine, click on "Home" and see if a winner appears or a jackpot of 4 at once.

I have a thought that has reached the level of a suggestion, make the Best of Random Gallery Picks a weekly thread so it doesn't end up with a gazillion pages of posts and replies. It would be easier go through whenever we have time to spend at RFF.

Heres one that came up for me, one I wish I'd taken when at the Tate.

I've thought about the same thing, sort of restricting the entries based on quantity, but I don't think it's a good idea. It takes the playfulness and serendipity out of it and forces everybody to keep bookmarks, and if people did that we wouldn't need the thread.

I'll probably restrict myself to one picture per day that I'll post here on average, and say a few words on each one.

And thanks to Jack Conrad for posting my 2007 "Fish Sandwhich" shot.

This photo from labas_rytas came up earlier in the day but I was at work and couldn't post it. Great composition, lighting and OOF. Wonderful interaction, reminds of the way our dog looks at my wife.

OK, so my lottery ticket for today is this:

Holmenkollen (2007), by Erik Five:

Erik was a fairly regular poster here until 2007, now at Purelight, with a RFF gallery of the small-but-good category.
