Just as well the theme isn't "Flavour" as I'd hate to think which one you'd pick ;)

Makes a change.. me getting in first instead of in the last half hour :)

Edit: set the Tamron to f13 held dof prev button and removed lens.... fitted 30mm of spacer tubes and refitted to camera. Handheld on a table 1/3rd sec at 800 iso. Came out better than I expected :)

I kinda had to wait to do mine so that I could double up valentines day with my choice of subject, finished work at 1.00am and went to tesco's where all the flowers were reduced to £1.99 a bunch or less. Bargain!!!!!

Hmmm - not sure this is a good thing :Ponders: ... means there are far too many entries to be in with much of a chance ... :hissyfit:

Especially as they are all ... SO DAMN GOOD !?! :banghead:

Seriously though ... some excellent competition in there peeps - and some great pictures too ... ! :smilenod:

Did you return them for a refund after the photo Steep?

DJW
15-02-2006, 20:27
OK, not had much time for this one, but had to enter ;) Lost a lot of detail getting to < 160K though :(

I think you are right there Dave, that's a real shame too as its a nice photo. Although it does surprise me that you couldn't make it fit.

Weird. :suspect1:

How much time, and strawbs did you waste getting the cut right ? :Ponders:

Hmm ... the detail thing troubles me too - must search out the proper way to manipulate pics down to post size some time ! :confused-

Nice result though Dave ! :smilenod:

DJW
16-02-2006, 08:45
Have no probs with most shots, I just think the background contained so much info I had to go down to 7/12 quality to fit. Ah well. THX's shot is a corker btw

DJW

Just the one....the missus reminded me they were expensive & my daughter likes to eat them ;) :D

I've changed mine as the compression lost some of the detail.

I spend a couple of hours last Monday shooting all kinds of fruits, and I think the one posted now suits 'Texture' best.

I felt quite full afterwards, as I didn't want to waste any of the subjects :p

DJW

Looking at the number of entires I think we shoudl all take heed that generic themes attract lots more entries than difficult ones :rules: . THen after a few months of us all getting better we can choose some mother of a theme ;)

Hey I'm not too late with my entry am I? I wasn't sure when this one closes.

Just realised I should have shot mine at f5.6 or something, f2.8 makes it look a bit shallow and loses the definition at the back of the leaf :(

Ho hum, live and learn.......at least it was on manual :)

What is the rule on image size for this? I've made mine 600px but if I'm allowed bigger I will re-do it.

matty
19-02-2006, 18:44
forum sizes apply, so 800x now

8pm kids, then i will close it

nice one matty. Just a thought...... Could we have the poll in the thread with the photo's this time? only reason I ask is that it's a bit of a pain flipping between the two threads trying to make my mind up!

My only other request is that could we have the poll up for the next topic at the same time please ?

Feel free to slap wrists and say to 'no' to any of these requests!


What a fantastic response this has had this time! I'm so very impressed that so many people have taken the time to post an entry, even if it's a quick 'what's in reach' effort!

Thank you all for your efforts. I'm sure you'll all be rewarded in heaven!

matty

Agreed - it really is encouraging to see so many entries ... and of such unilaterally high quality too ! Well done and good luck everyone ! :clap:

Thank you all for your efforts. I'm sure you'll all be rewarded in heaven!

I'd just like to be rewarded ... maybe with a win ... one day (?) thanx anyway Ghandi ! :laugh1:
