Nicely done.
Nicely done.
Another 52'er with an early submission
Good work Lynne, gives you the rest of the week off
Simple composition, lovely autumnal colour palette and on theme
Hi Lynne
Nice composition the figures are placed perfectly in the frame, good colour and exposure
works for me
Lynne,
That's cool. I think i may invest in some props.
Thanks Andy...couldn't get him to sit flat...he can be quite "difficult" sometimes...you know what these models are like.....Nice one. Lovely colours on the distance rocks, lovely detail on the fur and the composition works for me.
Uber critical....just the left cheek being off the rock
Feet up....of you could get your four seasons photographs up.
Must get around to starting a Glen Coe meet thread
Cheers.
Hi Lynne -
Food - good comp and good capture of the colours and the textures.
Art - brilliant idea (great minds think alike ) I like the bright colours and the 'sketch' treatment of the painting. The easel is a partic nice touch. I have read your description of the PP and you have made a good effort of it even tho you make light of it. i would not know where to start and I wonder how all of you find the time. - I seem to take hours just adjusting exposure, colour, crop and sharpness!! Very well done
Friendship - "...feeling uninspired & lacking in time as usual .." - Oh but you just happened to have a wooden model and furry animal in your bag as you went out ??. I think that this is so simple an expression of the theme and well handled - I really like it
Friendship, bang on theme Lynne, lovely autumnal colour tones in the scene, works really well
Mushrooms and mannequins, wonderful default subjects

I like this one - great autumny colours and a nice feeling of friendship there too.
Might like a bit more DOF to give a bit more detail to the BG.... to actually see a bit more of what they're looking towards..
Hi Lynne
I would say this is on theme, thats a sleek designed bottle IMHO.
If I am being totally honest, my first thought on looking at it was that the top is oof. The writing at the bottom is in focus though.
What aperture & lens did you use?
If it was a shallow dof, that would explain it as it looks as though you were shooting slightly upwards towards the bottle. The bottle looks wider at the bottom than the top, so if using your macro lens with its scary shallow dof, that would explain (to me anyway) why the lid doesn't look as sharp.
I could of course be talking absolute nonsense
That aside, I really like the blue colouring here, your jet black background and your choice of crop
Hi Lynne
Agree with Iain to me the top looks out of focus, but dont understand why it would be, so it must be a trick of the light, maybe :shrug:
apart from that the blue is nice as is the BG, I like it being off centre but its maybe too much to the left for me,
but thats just a matter of personal taste.
Hi you two.......now I'm even more confused.....when viewed large on flickr I can't see the oof lid ....think I must need glasses ! I used the kit 18-55 lens ,f10 & focused approx 1/2 way up the bottle. The top & bottom of it are virtually the same width , the camera may have been slightly lower so shooting up very slightly . Maybe I'm confusing noise with focus though at iso120 it shouldn't be noisey should it ? It's the same problem I'm having with landscapes and it's starting to irritate now
Hi Lynne,
Ive had my glasses on and off, moved my laptop lid at all angles and am struggling to work it out. Great blues by the way. My only conclusion, probably wrong, is that the double edges are due to light diffraction, refraction ......... something to do with light anyhow
Hey Lynne
Food - Bang on focus on the shrooms, the foreground of the log and the background are just right, good colours VERY well lit and altogether moist
Art - Hahhaaaa that's excellent, what a great idea, like how you have set that up
Friendship - Awwweeee how sweet - excellent composition and again loving the background, looks a very nice spot for the loving couple
I have no idea but it felt like eternity ! Wouldn't half a second be .50I'm having a moment...in Flickr, is exposure of 30...30 seconds or half a second?
I'm not sure if it is OOF or if it's the glass.
I wouldn't get too hung up on this. It's a good submission.
Cheers.

Hi Lynne, I'm with Al on this one. It's too far off centre for me.
I think it might be because you light painted it that you got so many reflections from both the inside AND the outside of the glass, making it look OOF, just a guess. :shrug:
Friendship is nice, it doesn't feel like a knockoff. Nice composition, and the colours in the blur are beautiful. The tiniest thing, and given the nature of the subject matter it's a bit ridiculous, but the fact that woody has one 'buttock' off the ground looks a bit odd to me... I'll keep taking the pills!
I like sleek too, preferring the edit. I like the colour and the lighting, but there's something in the construction of the bottle that makes it look a bit like there's camera shake in there to me. It's obviously a bit of an illusion, but makes it look less 'crisp' to me. The watermark really adds something to the image here too.
Preferring the composition of the second but the vivid blue on the first... making the "ghost" writing stand out more.
very sleek too.
Nice Idea... but it too looks ghostly to me on the top half, or is that just the stainless lid
Hey Lynne
Reflection - now that IS shiny !!!! - a cracking reflection, not sure what is to the left of your sig, but the rest is very clean and excellent Blacks
Colour - Not so sure with the crop to the top on this one, feel like I need to see the start of the curve on the left... as for the colour, liking the actual blue to the left, but feel it all looks a bit lost on the rh side
absolutely a cracking reflection - the thing I like is the angle, which means that the reflection is different to the actual.... meaning it has to be real, which makes the reflection even more striking... whats it sat on to be that reflective, without picking up dust instantly!!
and colour... hmmm. no probs with SC for me... but not 100% sure it's working in this instance... or maybe its the placement of the blue part witihn the shot?
Hi Lynne
Reflection, very good, I take it you used a small mirror for it.
Colour love the texture of the stone and the SC seems to work fine but as Graham has said something not quite right about the placement
'ello, Reflection, nice. Well composed and cracking colours. When I tilt my screen, as I usually do too see any flaws, there BG isn't completely black....however, as Tommy Cooper would say, "Then don't tilt your screen!".
Colour, that is one cracking blue and the autumnal scene works really well. I like the low angle but maybe a tad too low as the blue parts are pushed right to the top. Oh, and the X20 as a SC option
Reflection: A wonderful job of lighting this Lynne, the reflection is perfect.
The only thing I don't like - and this is true of your perfume bottle too - is your signature being so big that it becomes a compositional element in the scene. I can see how you might like it but I don't!
The selective colour shot: Not really my cup of tea tbh. different though!
did you say the camera did the SC for you? Any excuse to twiddle the knobs eh?
sorry its taken till now to comment, just looked through your project, lovely shots but my favourites have to be:
wild - superb image, bw really add to impact of shot
natures patterns - beautifully sharp and colours and patterns really cover the theme
size - Cute Idea, again your macros are superb
rock - love this place, perfectly captured with great light
shape - lovely bw conversion, nice and sharp
speed - motion captured really well, black background aids composition nicely
step - very clever composition, nice use of white background and props
whimsical - harlequin polo - didn know they existed very cool, lighting is great on this
reflection - swans are the choice for me very nice
inspiring work.
