A few pictures, last Friday I went to a park to practice Shutter speeds, aperture width and depth of vision for my recently started photography class and after It ended I took a few pictures with my camera and here they are:

Is that gan ha'Yarkon?

Yes, which is very nice aslong as you don't look in the river.

Yup, the later batch of pics has a lake view, sorry for uploading the ugliest pictures first

And yet more pics uploaded via flickr: (Usually it takes much longer, I thought it wouldn't finish uploading for ages).

Finally finished.

The last 2 pictures are of my dad when I practiced manipulating shuter speeds to simulate "high speed"/"blurred" movement by tracking him with the focus while he moved.

Wow, looks pleasant. It looks a bit like what I picture Southern California to be.

That's in Israel, right? And that's one ugly looking river. I would pay to not swim in that river. The rest of it looks nice, though.

What kind of car is that in picture three of the original post? The white one.

You're a smart man then, almost every army group that practiced underwater maneuvers in the river ended up with cancer, it's incredibly dangerous to even touch the water let alone swim or drink it (AS many people did for years).

Wow, looks pleasant

Yeah it was a lovely day, I simply walked around taking a few pictures after finishen 18 pictures practicing shutter speeds and other exotica.

What the fuck did they do to that river?

BTW your pics bork my formatting.

It's not water!

It's... uh... the chocolate river from that creepy fellow's Chocolate Factory! How delightful!

What's with some of those pics? Looks like they were cut into lots of vertical strips which were then shifted up or down.

Digital Camera artifacting, I'd guess. If the camera was moving fairly fast horizontally and the image is encoded in lots of thin strips it would produce an image just like that, so...

The Yarkon(river) was for many years used as an industrial dumping place, ergo, it's current look. It's slowly being fixed and the situation has improved alot.
