An interesting image Em, nice tones and a cool DoF picking out the wording... good to be busy
Of course you're right David - I do like to try out new stuff, but at this time of year I'm happiest with what I can capture enjoying our local countryside. It seems a waste to spend photography time on anything else! The report was one I wrote rather than received last year...my son is still pondering his fate...It's good to try different things whilst it's also good have your own style/identity. And you are certainly good with those outdoor macros.
"Excellent Progress ... " ... bet you're pleased. Nice idea for the theme.
Thanks Michaeldof works a treat for highlighting progress, I like it.
Cheers Bernd!Great idea, nicely composed and super shallow DoF works a treat!
That's a nice idea Steve - I'm not very good at thinking of filling the frame, but it can be so effective.I like the way you managed to get the word progress into the shot as well! Nice angle and DOF and a good clean image. Maybe you could have lost the bit of desk at the top and just filled the shot with the reports.
It was pure laziness/running out of time I admit it...but I'm pressed enough writing about the kids without starting on myself at the moment!! It's a gret idea though. I must not be so lazy. I must not be so lazy. I must not be so lazy. I must not be so lazy. I must not be so lazy....your minimal shots are great, first using the fence to isolate, or frame the flower
as much as i shun using just words for the theme, i've done it so i cannt talk..good use of DOF, now if you had made the document up as a bio about yourself and your project, i'd have forgiven you in an instance, just stand at the back of the class til thursday please..
Thanks Dean - I'm certainly that!An interesting image Em, nice tones and a cool DoF picking out the wording... good to be busy
Mail merge?!Hi Emma.
Having read the reports our kids get, I'm not certain that they aren't generated using a template and something like mail merge
Works really well for the theme. Is there a child somewhere wonder what the excellent progress they've made in Maths is, as you only put that phrase in to allow you to keep up this week?
Anyway. Good use of shallow DoF to concentrate the eye and I like the blue feel to the shot.

Thank you! The blacks was definitely a choice - I wanted it to feel a bit dreamy and hazy, like light spilling off a spotlight on stage. I so haven't got my head around this printing thing yet - I need some suggestions for place to go. I do worry my monitor isn't up to getting things ready for print.Way to go Emma, that's a really good image.
Being me, I might have crushed the blacks a bit to give it more punch, but that's just a subjective stylistic choice.
Are you printing it for your wall?
Well, you can always use a colour printer for quick prints.I so haven't got my head around this printing thing yet - I need some suggestions for place to go. I do worry my monitor isn't up to getting things ready for print.
Well lit and and a nice burst of light in the droplet, very well done and a pleasant image for the theme.
Pleasure, well it is a pleasure to look at as this is a great shot imo. I like the star effects and lighting and the dark BG also helps to show off the flower
wether its on theme or not a really nice image I love the light thats hitting the BG, it might have been luck but a striking image
Beautiful, just perfect to me.
Stunning photo, nothing to criticise!
Lovely shot and nicecsparjle ing the drop.
That's a lovely shot, excellently lit and well thought out. Can't agree more with the pleasure we get when the shots turn out the way we've planned.
Thanks so much for the lovely words everyone - much appreciated!Nice one for progress, great different take on the theme. Daisy with the droplet is beautiful, love the lighting
Thanks so much David - glad you like it. It was shot in a light tent with a black velvet background. There was a light front right and another back left, diffused through the tent sides. The front light was close enough to give a bright spot on the droplet and a crazy aperture of f/32 created the giant starburst (and the lower burst which was coming off the glass vase the daisy was in)Photography is so pleasurable..especially when things go right!!
certainly looks like something went right !!
That really is quite incredible, beautiful too. At first I thought it was a black card BG with a small hole but TBH I'm not sure what I'm looking at.
Thanks Mark...I don't often compose stuff from the corners - not sure why! It's good to have the constructive crit thoughFab Em, really very very nice.
The only thing I might have done differently would be to have the daisy stalk coming straight out of the left hand bottom corner, other than that I love it.
shame the thimble idea didn't work out ... but two great shots here Emja ... I loving the spider, all so delicate.
Would of liked to see the thimble shot, like both shots for tiny Emma, have to go with the #1 as love the lighting and focus plus a nice BG too
Thanks Mark - that's very kind. I do try to shoehorn in as much as I can...Thimble shot idea is great Em, keep trying that one as I think it has legs.....
Youve been outputting some great stuff on Flickr of late, its a shame its not always valid for here......
Two great shots, but I prefer the spider. Great detail and great light!
Thank you both - seems it's pretty much evens on the spider and the amberHi Emma, love the amber shot, the colour and light are great.
Thanks for dropping in Donna. I'm shockingly behind on comments. Life has just gone too crazySorry, way behind but really love 'pleasure' shot. The lighting has worked really well
