Thanks very much for the kind words, I agree with the white background, if I'd planned it out more I could've experimented with different b/g's to enhance the salt crystals :thumbs:

Really nice, rich colours :thumbs: DOF works well too Wayne

Another one to say the lighting has been captured well :thumbs: Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Wayne

Great job, lovely colours & textures captured :thumbs: Wayne

I would say no.2 is drawing me in as it were.. No.1 has no definitive focal point to hold my attention :thumbs: Wayne

Thanks Chris, I spent a while trying to create the ying yang shape as best I could with an homemade template ,a steady hand & tweezers!! I think I could have lost a few hours more to try to finesse the shape but, my patience got the better of me & I settled on the final shape that I have...

Hi everyone, I've tried to creative this week, still working on lighting.. It was quite difficult balancing the contrast of the white salt crystals against the black peppercorns, I'm not 100% happy but, I feel that I am making progress with my photography. Ying-Yang- Season by waywal, on...

I'm really grateful for your comments guys. I'm excited now to get back out & practise, practise, practise!! Excellent advice, I really am grateful to you all for taking the time to help me along :thumbs::thumbs:

Thanks everyone. I agree entirely. Not the result I wanted. I think I rushed a little to keep the right conditions-light wise. It just got worse as I was stacking to try & keep the exposure down. A bit more reading & practice I think. Thanks again, Wayne

Thanks for the critique Geof. I'm trying to get the hang of filters to help with the 'dreamy' effect that it gives to clouds & big skies.. I haven't really scratched the surface with Lightroom, a long way to go with learning all the tricks of the software. Still lots to do I feel...

Here is my attempt at using filters to get a good sunset/last light shot. I used a 1.2 & 0.9 ND Grad filter stacked, processed using Lightroom. Still some way to go before I get to where I want to be.. Last light of the day by waywal, on Flickr Cheers, Wayne

Great start, for me Sin 4a is the one. I like the balance of light & shadow, the colours are spot on too, looking forward to seeing more :thumbs:
