Cheers Dave - Agreed better lateWell better late than never as they say, and what another fine shot from you Dean, I like the footprints leading down to the smooth water with the thingies in the distance

Thank you BerndA very nice photo, very sharp in the foreground and nice soft long exposure sea. And I like the composition with the footsteps leading straight to the objects in the water. What are they?
Oooo Cool, thank you DavidDK your long exposure waterscapes are luscious ... so lovely.
Cheers SusieGreat composition DK ....those footsteps look almost ghostly disappearing out of view, super smooth sea too.
Thank you again, real pleased with this feedbackOooops I missed large till d00d just commented, I love his choice of words 'luscious' it is a perfect description of your long exposure shots. Large is a smasher.
Hey TimHi DK.
Easy as that heySmoke - I like it. I did wonder how you'd achieved the levitating, but after reading through the comments I guess I understand.
Thank youVivid - Simple but effective and to the point. Excellent falloff of the light giving the strong black background too.
Hahaaa thank you, and glad you noticed the horizon, I do try to keep the horizon police away if I canLarge - I think it fits the bill, and you've even got the horizon horizontal
And thank you again... but a Shoehorn, how dare you... how about artistic licence will that doMineral - Well taken. Bit of a shoe-horn though.
Hahaaa I wish, but I wouldn't do such a thing to you lovely peepsAnother great long exposure...now you're showing us up
Thank you Em, glad the crop works for you tooI wouldn't have thought of a square crop for a seascape but it works well with the balance of sky/sea/sand and directing the eye along the footprints.
Annnd thank you too Chris, agreed with the point on the sea, a very nice way of putting itLarge and Mineral - Two very nice shots. I like the way the footsteps disappear over the brow. The smooth water works with these shots as I think the sea could easily have detracted from the intended subject.
Week 19 - Architecture
Hmmmm hadn't tried a B&W, thanks DaveArchitecture, a very nice shot Dean and yes it would of been nice to see more of the lawn bit, don`t know if you would agree, but with how the sky is it might look better in b&w
Cheers Allan - and yes a very wise man would say thatA wise man always carries ladders with him, I think we have had that conversation before, its a vast image and very impressive to stitch them all together seamlessly
Thanks Bernd Hmmmm I', not with that one for me the main distortion is in the middle of the shots so would still be there... thanks anyway, always like varying opinionsThere is still too much distortion in the photo for my taste... I think it would have worked better if you had cropped it from the rhs just behind the spire.
Thank you ChrisShame about the distortion, but a nicely balanced shot that fits the bill. The thought of stitching a panoramic of a building with all those angles and lines does not appeal to me so well done.
Thank you StanI thought you done very well with the panorama stitching processing and distortion correction. A very grand building still in excellent condition.
Agreed Mark, fully agreedA very nice bit of Architecture for sure, but for me, (and I know its out of your control) the flat sky really lets the image down.
Very true, this may be one of the next 're-shoots' for me, I will add a not on the spreadsheet to remind meYes, there are a few issues with processing, but I think a vivd blue sky would have made the whole image sing and that would cause the PP to be less of an issue.
Thank you AndreaMy first visit for about six weeks, Dean, so another quick catch-up I really like the idea and image for Evolved, with the warm colour, perfect shadow and fine details making a striking image.
Thanks - you should have a go, it's fascinating watching things that closer inHold is fascinating, not just for the details of the ant but also the shape and texture of the sugar. I've never tried anything like this and can only imagine the patience and setting-up that went into it, so
Very true, and thank you again... I too at times think it is too prominent, but when I look at a shot where I have toned it down the image looks a bit flat with just greysYour smoke image is another clever one, and unusual with the inclusion of the match. I'm not sure whether the match is a bit prominent for me, but it does adds something and the smoke itself has been lit and captured perfectly
Thank you againLarge is a good idea as those things are ginormous and the long exposure works well on the sea and sky,
Thanksyour Mineral re-shoot works well with that low viewpoint, as does Architecture with that great wide sweep of buildings and lawn,
Cool - a big thank youbut my favourite is most definitely Vivid. It leapt off the screen at me a couple of weeks ago on Flickr and just did the same again. Those colours and shapes are beautifully lit with the slight shadows, and the clever arrangement is so attractive. Very well done, you!
Thank you for visiting and commenting…some pin-cushion work first followed
by a keystoning tweak would render an
outstanding photograph.
I would love to know what you mean
Thank you ChrisNice photo for broken, good sky and a sense of loneliness/abandonment with the mill on it's own like that.
Cheers Dave, you have a good memory mateLike broken and remember your last shot of this. I like the old broken mill all on it`s own, the sky goes well too and the reeds just show a bit of movement
Thanks again... I will google them to see where they are as I have no idea I used the sliders in Lightroom and adjusted as much as I could, so hopefully the pincushion will finish the jobThe pincushion tool will reestablish the horizontal line in
the central part of the building… and remove lens distortion
elsewhere.
The keystone tool will correct the perspective.
The result of these two operations will be a straight building
in every aspect.
Thank you Tim now liquefy sounds like a spell of some sorts, or is that a super hero abilityHi DK.
Architecture - Yes, there is distortion, but other than playing with liquefy, I don't think there is much you can do.
Cool - thanks for having a go, when I did kee playing with some that straightened the verticals a bit they bent the spireI did have the same thoughts that @Kodiak Qc had, and indeed I spent 30 seconds in PS playing, but I didn't end up with anything better. Maybe @Kodiak Qc could have a go and post the results?
Ahhh I wouldn't say that !!! but thank youRegardless, it's an excellent Pano, far better than the efforts I manage
Hahaaa now I take that as volunteering there are loads of them around here and they are slowly doing some of the up which is great to seeBroken - What a sad sight. It needs someone to buy it and restore it (no I'm not volunteering).
Hmmmmm now you happen to say it, it does look quite bright !!I would love to see the sky a bit darker.
Thank you DonnaReally like the colours, composition and subject for broken. Great shot
Thank you MarkBroken is a nice but slightly sad view of our past, and I also like the above.
Funny you should say that, I have boosted them quite a lot already as the time of day the light was quite harsh, but I do admit sliding back down slightly to keep them a bit muted, trying to make them tranquilI wonder if both could take a touch of saturation boost tho ?
YAY !!! thank you Bernd, just what I was hoping forBroken and transport are both very tranquil landscape shots. Great light, great exposure, great sharpness. I think the slightly muted colours go well with these photos.
Cheers DaveTransport is a lovely sunny day shot, like the old looking sailing boat on theme nicely too
Hahaaa yes I try keep it level thank youNicely taken shot DK, bang on theme lines that lead you through the picture (via the subject) and even your horizon is horizontal
Now that I would like to seeYou're quite lucky it didn't become the background for my edit of Georgina's rat rod...
Thank you DavidArchitecture ... There's distortion, but I like it very much.
I have taken one of this one before, I didn't get enough water in the shot either thenBroken ... I recognise that windmill (I think). A pleasing image if not your best of that.
Cool - thank you again, yes the surroundings are a big part of it, wide and quite open water, a peaceful as can beTransport ... a beaut ... nice soft colour, good detail in that yacht whilst still quite small in the frame so as we can appreciate its surroundings. 10/10 for compo.
Thank you StanLove the sail boat shot. Nice composition and the positioning of the boat heading into the channel. Looks like a quiet and peaceful day for messing about on the river with an old sailing boat.
Thank you ChrisI agree with the comments above on transport, very nice, calm photo. I like that it is kind of at odds with the day-to-day idea of transport.
