Now that sounds interesting
Alphabet, works well. I like the fact you've had a chomp out of the bread. Nice overall lighting.
Cheers.
I agree with Andy, very well presented Lynne
As for a (possible) trip to A&E That' s covered alphabet again
Hi Lynne - I like your alphabet shot very much
I'm intrigued by your sound idea - I hope you pull it off without a trip to A&E cos I'm dying to see what it will be
A bit of a catch up from me Lynne
Close, such vibrant colours in the flower head, well lit with sharp, crisp detail. Pretty much a Lynne signature shot
Machine, great bit of photoshoppery there
Your own critique, although they are valid points, i don't think detract in anyway from the overall accomplished image. if you hadn't mentioned them, I doubt I would have noticed.
It is again, a clean, crisp and sharp image which would easily sit well within an advert IMHO.
Alphabet, again a lovely lit shot Lynne, its quite easy in these sort of set ups to lose a little detail in the white plate against white background but you've handled it well.
Good work all round missus
I promise I won't leave it so long before i visit again.
Hi Lynne, alphabet works though it could just be my monitor but the orange of the alphabetti spaghetti looks a little faded,everything else lighting etc spot on as usual
I too am intrigued about your sound pic
Elegant - love it! Colour is gorgeous!
Sound - wow wow wow love it Lynne
Sound by Nike Lowe, perfect timing, well caught and I like it.
Wow! Sound. That's quite an achievement. That must have taken a fair bit of patience! Can almost hear the crash.

Hi Lynne "elegant" is perfectly placed but I see what you mean about lack of light, just needs a little lift
Even with what you say about the problems behind "sound" it is still excellent might have cloned out the wires but thats very harsh crit
even like the selective colour which is saying something
Lynne brilliant as usual
Alphabet simple bit so effective white on white i find near impossible.
You elegant reshoot again you make the simple look so effective.
Sound that was my first thought but had no idea how to achive it. so as quick as i thought about it i forgot it.
SC works really well. I too personally would have lost the wires but that is being really picky about a picture i really like
Elegant reshoot is so pretty. Lillies are one of my favourites
Sound....Well. AWESOME. What an idea!
Wrecking 5 glasses to get it? Dedication. Well done you!
Elegant- very well done, excellent detail in the petals
Sound - Very clever I like it a lot, although maybe either a faster shutter or pop of flash to freeze the action. As I would prefer the glass to be sharp (no pun intended) However it still works for me
Hi Lynne,
Love your reshoot - that flower screams elegant to me, and the colour's lovely too.
Sound - now I see what you meant about A&E - glad you didn't have to go there. It's a fantastic idea and you've captured it really well. I wouldn't have the nerve to break so many glasses - I'd be paranoid in case I didn't manage to pick up all the shards, but I bet it was fun to do
Hi, elegant, wonderful detail and well composed. Not sure if it's a little underexposed, nonetheless, I do like botanical photographs.
Sound, very well done. I actually like the motion blur in the shards of glass. So, your flashes, are they on the right way . What issues are you having? What make? I have Nijon and Yongnuo and when I put the on my camera they work automatically.
Cheers.
Excellent "Sound" submission. Very inventive, cleverly shyot and - dare I say it-very sharp.
Loving the 'sound' shot. Very well executed, I take my hat off to the patience you must have to get this
Stunning effort. Well done.
Alphabet ... nicely done, like the little FG shadow under the plate. Not really sure if I like the inclusion of bread/toast but I guess that's how you kids eat it.
Elegant ... looks perfectly fine to me lighting-wise and everything.
Sound ... yes you must love the sound of breaking glass. Did you add the Boom word to those speakers yourself? You certainly are on a roll: Sound pic amazing stuff.
Hey Lynne
Machine - When I saw this on on the photo thread for logging I was soooo impressed with it, now I have been away from seeing it for a bit and have returned I'm STILL DAMN IMPRESSED, no crit from me as I can not see an area I feel needs improving, nicely set out, good background, well lit and super PP... jammy git
Alphabet - Again I am sttruggling to crit this one, good clean background & Plate, nicely set up, well lit and love the wording... I know, I'd prefer the toast done a bit more
Elegant - Always like your flower shots, really like that you have the stem coming from the corner and a lovely bright flower, but some reason there is something about the background I can not put my finger on
Sound - What a cracking thought for the theme, really well staged too - Boom Boom is spot on
Love "Sound" Lynne, fantastic image, well thought out and executed.
Phil
Sound...... What they all said
Loved it, great idea, well executed
Hi Lynne ...Sound is amazing ...I love it ....really very well done, and thanks for saying how you did it too
Hi Lynne
How's it going? On the rounds of Mega catch up as I've been away....
Mouth ... Like both of these, DK Nice clean exposure, like the condensation on the glass and the nice texture of the ice in the glass. Well posed by DK!
Mouth of the barrel, this works well, like the contrasting Orange against the dark brown of the barrel, Great texture in the Orange skin and the Wooden Barrel and pin sharp.
Crowd ... Ah you mentions what a wiz you were at flexing the themes Nice one! I thought it was colour popped till I read through, but I like that a lot and its a very subtle effect, with nice soft tones. Like the composition of this shot simple but very effective, and nice and sharp and nicely lit.
Close Up ... Fab colours in those petals, very striking colour, Square crop works well. Great detail, Nice Shot!
Machine ... Nifty work that, I guess you could spend a long time in PS playing with that. I bet if you had the time to take a bolt load of shots and blended them you would improve it but I think its very good as it stands. Its also not the easiest colour is it... white... Engine like you say ia a tad squiffy but for 30 mins I think you have done very well. Good Fun I like that nice work Lynne.
Alphabet ... I guess. I'm flipping starving at the moment and that would go down a treat.... And there I was thinking I was the only one to inadvertently change my camera file format (tiff). I notice that a small piece closest the camera appears to be missing?? I seem to have a season ticket to A&E most trips start with a daft idea hope you manage to stay out. Jpegs do strange things sometimes when you edit them.... Food for thought eh!
Elegant ... Lovely reshoot, that background really makes the Lilly pop! Great colour rendition, love that little white highlight that runs around the outside of the Lilly, great lighting.
Sound ... Fantastic idea really works well. you obviously worked hard to get that and its worked very well. Think all the little tiny fragment very close to the glass make it all the more plausible. Love this real "Action" shot, Nicely done Lynne PS I did find Voodoo Child (Hendrix) flat out blew my old Mondeo speakers
Nice Work Lynne
Sound - fantastic idea, love it
Machine - Great shot that’d you’d expect to see in a brochure. I have to say you’ve handled the whites and blacks really well and it sounds like you’ve done loads of editing which is a credit to you
Alphabet - Another evening of editing from what you said but again it’s proved well worth it. I must say I’m not sure how you’ve inflated the file size by that much though. Just think what it would have been if you’d started form the RAW image.
Reshoot - Super super image. Very elegant. The colours are really punchy against that black background
Sound - Looks like the persistence paid off especially with you capturing the glass smashing mid air. I’m not one for selective colour but this has been done tastefully and I think works well.
Hi there,
Machine: I love this shot. This photo was the inspiration for me to actually buy Photoshop Elements and experiment with layers. I had a go at a similar shot but I need more practise to get as good as you. Great shot
Alphabet: Nice shot that has made me hungry As has been said - good lighting.
Re-shoot: Very nice composition but can't help thinking it needs lifting out of the darkness a touch.
Sound: Brilliant shot! I think the blur on the glass has added to the image. I have a feeling that a darkness shot using the flash to "freeze" the action wouldn't have had the action that your shot has. Like it
Experiment: First one for me. The low key lighting that defines the shape is perfect IMHO
