Thanks TimHi DK
A nice dramatic shot for Full. The clouds and water compliment each other well. Excellent that it's a SooC shot, very well set up.
Well spotted, yes I agree you have something thereNice lighting on the Special shot. I think the shorter grass gives the impression that the centre/memorial is lit slightly.
Hmmmm yeah maybe you right, I was thinking it framed it a bit but...Hi DK, nice autumnal scene though I might have cloned those bare branches out top right
Thanks Allanspecial, pity about the fence really
Thanks SusieHi DK ...smashing shot for Full ...Scotland is so beautiful isn't it!
Exactly, every day folk giving up there lives for our freedom !!!Special... bang on theme, I always think of the people behind the names on those monuments, ordinary people just like us, yet so very special in the sacrifice they made.
Thanks LeeHi there DK,
Shimmer: I like the mono take and the way the light has been caught in the droplets. A nice shimmery effect
CoolElement: Perfect
Thanks again... I liked it was the only leaf that had turnedSeasonal: Great colours. The green really makes the leaf stand out.
No problem, thank youFull: I really like this shot. Nice colour and dreamy water from the long exposure. Thanks for explaining how you took the shot too
Special: Spot on theme. Agree wholeheartedly.
Thanks CarlAbsolutely right Dean - all who went experienced that nightmare of a time are Special. Great image ... fits the theme nicely of course.
Thank you StanFull; Beautiful image with good exposure balance and very well thought out too.
Nice - ThanksSpecial; spot on and from me nothing else are needed.
Hey
Thanks DavidFull ... a beaut! Leafy FG good 'n sharp, milky water, mountainous horizon, dramatic sky.
I thought it was unusual yes, I did have a couple of shots shot through it so it wasn't visible, but on balance I liked the further away shots, including the fence and the context to the surroundingsSpecial ... lots of colour without being OTT on such a cloudy day, and I rather like the fence ... unusual isn't it?
Thanks Elaine... it does look a bit shriveled snake'y doesn't it, maybe I should have pp's some eyes on itLove the colours and dof in the leaf shot - perfectly captured. I'm not sure what that is in the bg on the right, but at first glance I thought one of Cobra's friends had escaped! I think maybe a bit of a shoehorn required for Full, but a beautiful shot and spot on composition nevertheless!
You ain't kiddingStarbucks, I've heard they have wonderful service in their coffee shops
Yes mate I certainly know what you mean... but I haven't learnt how to do that yetWell done here. Sis are not easy to do, but you've composed it well and, with my limited OCF, knowledge lit it well. I think for the theme, though that more light on the LHS is needed. It's quite moody lighting for a subject that isn't moody, IYSWIM.
That's the arm of the sofa, to be honest I cloed it out once, but put it back in again...Uber crit, seems to be something near the ©.
Thanks mateOverall, I like it
Cheers.
Cheers ChrisIt think that's just about right on all counts Dean,
Nice
Thanks LynneHi @Dark Knight ....., that's what I've been trying to do all day......like the lighting on yours...much more even than I managed.......trying to balance / hold reflectors is not easy
Cool - Thanks CarlThat is brilliant Dean - just enough on the rh side to make out the features and not "flatten" the image. Not easy to get the focus right on a selfie let alone the lighting too - excellent
Thanks TimSpot on subject
OCF is something I've not tried yet (something for next year if Santa is kind).
If that's your first attempt at OCF, then that's a fantastic result (if it's your 1000th, it's still great).
Moody yes, but then caffeine addiction deserves a moody shot.
Cheers StanNice selfie and well lit too. Like the SB name is in focus and the lighted side to 'say' coffee.
Thanks Allan,Hi DK, excellent work nicely composed self portrait, the right hand side as we look at it is well lit, just needs a little boost to the left, it of course might be my monitor
but all the details to suggest the theme are there
Thanks DavidNice job, creative lighting, slightly manic stare.
Haaaaaa I hadn't noticed thatHi DK it looks good to me...I like the moody lighting and the fact that your t shirt matches your mug
You're a nutter too thenhad to smile at your remark about the Hoover, I usually have boxes of tissues, books, and all manner of totally unsuitable objects to hand for balancing lighting on
Thanks again - glad to be doing my part yes, but VERY keen to get it shaved off , just two weeks to goExcellent choice for the theme and great to see your support for Movember.
Thanks RichardSuper lighting DK! I have tried and failed many times with off camera flash !! Always time to try again!! Perhaps next weeks challenge!!
Great manic eyes !
Cheers BrianWell done mate, think you got it down pretty good.
it's tough doing OCF selfies, I shoot mine feathered so I can see the results on the lappy.
Keep practicing, it's amazing how quickly it all starts to sink in and how much fun OCF is once you are getting good results. I find it hard NOT to light things now
Haaaaaa thanks Nora, not sure about not hurting, I do NOT like being lens side of a camera, just trying to get used to it, not easyI like the idea behind it, and a selfie sometimes doesn't hurt
If you'd have wanted covered, you should have come to mineHere we have Wk 47 - the ground 'Covered' in fallen leaves
Haaaa Thanks Chris !!!If you'd have wanted covered, you should have come to mine
Good idea Dean, I nearly did similar TBH, then remembered my promise to shoe horn
Wait for the wind to change direction and blow them over the neighbours fenceWhat do you do to get rid of yours ??
Sounds like a plan !!!Mine sucks but won't blow (anymore)
Looks like a birthday pressie to me next spring
Thanks ChrisHad the same thought myself but most of the fallen leaves round here are now pretty much just dull brown, you have got a range of autumn colours in there.
Thank you too Nora, I agree on the prettiest season, just pipping the spring blossom's for meLove the colours on this. The black/dark brown tree trunk actually balances the colourful leaves. Fall is the prettiest season of the year in my opinion... Not the most practical, though
Still not there yet Dean?I'm hoping (if I ever get to move that is) I won't need one in the next place <fingers crossed>
