I think my [snip] girly pink case helped lift it too...

you know what its like, a little tweak here, a little slide there :nuts:
Enough of your bedroom antics
Hi AlanHi DK
value - either crop would do for me except on #2 the 'EP 300' is oof so it has to be #1 cos of its overall sharpness
Cheers mateVertical - very good idea for the theme and well handled. Spot on horizontal and vertical and ,as mentioned, no lens distortion. Like the grey palette and the hint of movement in the waves.
Thanks NickReshoot #1 for me, pretty much like the original, but the shift in focus really makes the shot in my eyes. The composition really works well.
I'm not sure about Vertical. Bang on theme, but doesn't really grab me.
Hey MarshaHi DK
That I am... think you have caught upJust a little bit behind again!
I think it could be a metering nightmare... IF i had a meterValue, probably only a slight shoe horn used here! I really like the angle and lighting, I imagine this could be a metering nightmare? It does look a bit on the warm side, but then it almost looks Sepia tinted!
ThanksAngle, love this, such a simple take on the theme.
Thanks again... they last couple of days have been great for working in the garden, but I need a polariser or 2 as the light is a bit too harsh !!!Rustic, how very pretty. Nice composition and makes it feel almost like summer, now lets hope the weather pays attention!
TaKind, nice diagonal angle. I particularly like the kind on one side and the le on the other. The pink adds a nice splash of colour.
Well you're one of a minority... I'm still torn between themReshoot, that's better with the lighting. I think I prefer the second shot with the reduced DOF.
Not too many really, Only the ones I have shot for themes on here, being 2 mins away I should really exploit the fact, but when working late, I see a good sky but drive past as I am hungryVertical, you must have quite a collection of wind farm shots now? I like this one a lot. My only crit is the breaking wave bottom right. I think there needs to be either more wave or none at all
Well done... and thank YouPhew I'm caught up again! More importantly I've almost caught you up with my shots. I just need to get them uploaded. Not that I'm setting a challenge but I could go ahead of you
Well DK I really like Angle: lovely light on an almost abstract shot. Great texture. Potato field?[\quote]Thanks Chris... I'm not sure to be honest but it looks that way to me
Spot on mate... Marsh Marigolds - And thanks yeah I do like this shotRustic: also very nice indeed. Definitely on theme, lovely curves leading my eye into the shot from the left, the decking leading my eye back, lots of detail to come back to like the stones at the base of the bridge support, and the marsh marigolds (or possibly buttercups?). That is definitely a shot to be proud of.
Thanks appreciate your honestyKind... well, a crowbar on the theme, and TBH the treatment doesn't win me over either. I do like the pink case though!
Cheers ChrisVertical: I do like this. The wind thingies are nicely semi-randomly spread, the sea is a lovely slate-grey, and as said a hint of a leading line in the sinuous wave motion. No need to worry about the wave bottom right, TMM, it just puts it in context.
Thanks Carl... and yes I think it is a dandylionThe dandylion ? is great.. Really nice detail and great DOF.
Cheers IainThe dandelion for me too Dean
I like the way you have filled the frame with it, lovely colour tones in the background too.
Thanks Again... and yes I really struggled getting focus, this was the best of the crop, BUT I thought I would get away with it - BustedI feel you have just missed the focus on the eye, the sharp point appears to be on the eyelid/lashes.
Well done on your continued catch-up matey, keep it up!
Cheers Andy... not noticed the crop... I'll have a butchersHi, cracking dandelions. Good overall detail and textures. Not overly keen on the cropping of the top and bottom; and with a quick edit on ipad, I feel a nice square crop works well.
Yes I see what you mean... my aim was to do straight on but I really struggled with reflections - Example belowThe eye shows detail. I'd prefer eye contact, IYSWIM. Is that an octabox I can see?
Good show,
Cheers Allan... I think you're rightDandelion is a nice shot, sharp and bright can't crit it, with the eye i feel you have to be closer to establish a pattern. for the dabelion
Thanks ColtPattern, the Dandelion shot is great. Lots of fine details and lovely lighting.
Thanks MichaelSquare crop of the dandelion for me Dean, I like the eye shot too and the square crop suits it well, as you have said the focus isn't quite right,
Cheers... and well ermmmmmI'm liking the dandelion best. I don't like the reflection in the eye.
Where's your movement? - New theme tomoz!
Thanks LynneHi Dean
Dandelion for me as well ,lovely n sharp , good color & the square crops suits
Not so keen on the eye but appreciate how tricky that shot is having tried it myself
Hey Marsha
That I am... think you have caught up
We've all got meters in cameraI think it could be a metering nightmare... IF i had a meter
ReallyI meant I was behind with your photos!
I thought you meant a handheld meter for my lightsWe've all got meters in camera
Thaaaank en you [quoteThe focus on the eye is more on the eye lashes and not on the pattern of the iris. I have a very similar shot of my eye that I did last year and it was hellish getting the focus right, also shooting from the inner corner of the eye looks a bit too wide eyed and like the person has had a shock or two! Shooting from the outer edge of the eye has a softer feel to it, if that makes sense?[/QUOTE]Ahhh that does make sense yes... I shall give that a goFor pattern it has to be the dandelion great detail and love the square crop.
Thanks NickThe Dandelion is a beauty, I prefer the crop with a little space around it though.
Thanks againI really like the little points of light in Greed, the flashes on the water really give it something. Movement works for me too, good idea, and lovely colours.
Hey'ello,
CoolPattern, yeah, I do like dandelions. Plenty of detail and the harsh light works well to give good overall lighting. Square crop for me.
Soft !!!! I'll have you know... well ok yeah DoF would have helped but out of 30 or so shots this was by far the sharpestGreedy, indeed. Bit soft but well composed and even eye contact.
Cheers mate... again this was a toughie, will answer belowMovement, on theme and good detail in the reflection and nice colours. Pity the mirror isn't sharp.
Cheers.
SlackerMissed one.
Well... no HDR but masses of PP to try and get some detail out of itBelow, interesting perspective and good detail. I really like the sky. Has a slight HDR feel to it
Cheers.
Cheers GrahamLovely bright sharp detailed dandelion for pattern...
Ooooooo I'll try thatmy 2p on the eye would be a portrait(ish) crop including the tear duct, the patterns of the blood vessels in the white and just over half of the pupil / iris. Can;t be easy self shooting your eye.
Shhhhhh I don't think anybody noticedgreed (did you miss this one??)
Thanksis great - colour, movement, composition, capture of the moment all spot-on.
Ahhhhhh well... to answer you and Andy, the car was moving but I had to do 2 trips out and probably 100 shots to get the desired effect...movement not quite sitting with me at the moment... love the colours for a start..... but the mirrors not in its natural position is it?? and I'm struggling to get which way we're actually moving - and then my head hurts so I'm now trying to see if I can ID the car from the reflection, which isn't moving, but I can't (Alfa maybe - don't think it's your Lexus. :shrug:...
Sounds like a planI'm off to walk the dog. :bonk:
Hey AllanHi DK
Thanks... and boy yes they were franticGreed is excellent well caught couldn't have been easy I have seen them feed its all a bit frantic
Yay !!! thanks mate that was the plan... although very awkward to do on a bumpy laneMovement i like how the BG is rushing past but there looks like no movement in the mirror
Ooo I'll have a look for that - great minds think alikeBelow I had a similar idea its on my flickr so I have to say its a great idea, the leaves and the sky go well together
Yeah as if lmao... will try some edits, comments and sleepYou will have to have a rest now with all that catching up
