Focus points for landscapes!
What lens? What aperture? What camera? get asked about too often, in my opinion. Or worse - what make of camera :roll: Absolutely agree. When you get so hung up on equipment it's good to take a step back and look at composition/basic theory/colour again ;) Interestingly, there's not as much inform...

Focus points for landscapes!
In the last view camera magazine I purchased there were some beautiful soft focus portraits. They were created by gluing a 50p magnifying glass to a lens board of a view camera. As there was no shutter, exposure was achieved by turning the lights off, uncovering the lens and then firing off a diff...

Focus points for landscapes!
[quote:3496ace15f="MattMatic"] Interestingly, there's not as much information about basic composition skills - it's more about "How should you use equipment x,y,z" Matt I think ultimately the problem is that no-one actually knows 100% what makes a great photograph..."rules" about composition etc a...

Focus points for landscapes!
As a generalisation, looking at the images produced for competitions by members of - ADAPS www.adaps.org.uk - there are quite a few photographers who produce fantastic shots but who have a very limited knowledge of photographic rules and theory. They don't let this worry them in the slightest, altho...

I don't know when ADAPS updated its website, but it should be congratulated on producing a very simple, clean, and effective design. G

Focus points for landscapes!
Thanks, George. Our Web Master, Paul Jones, did the site and my son Mike and myself did the forum. We constantly update because there's nothing worse than going to a site and finding it's a couple of years out of date. But, like here, it's the combination of site and forum that gives it life. A s...

Ansel Adams - Book
Hello fellow Bob. I saw that book in Borders & it is not a book you'd read on the bus to work that's for sure. Make sure you get them some physio vouchers as a pressie too when you're at the surgery getting your back fixed from carrying it home !

New Competition
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a new forum competition. I understand that many people are unhappy with the way the original has gone since the re-organisation of the website in July. Although this appears to have improved of late (at least recent judges have been giving feedback), ...

New Competition
As a newbie to the fora I never knew what the old competition style was like but... I enjoy the competition here more than any others I have entered. You get to see all the others, you get some comments, it's quick, it's fun. As to whether one uses new images or not, I am less concerned. I have s...

New Competition
Dr. Mhuni, A few weeks back I would agree with you. The competition didn't work properly, and the whole website was more or less a mess after the redesign. However, things have improved lately. The judge(s) does rank the winner and the second and third entry, and leaves decent comments. So again,...

New Competition
Back here in the forum, where it all started :!: Second that! Also by me ! Just keep it here in the regular (Old) place. One point though! Would it be a idea,( given the fact that we now have a two week period of entering) to start and close the competition at 18.00 hours instead of midnight? This...

My Cousin Ruddi
Took this with the K10D and the 18-55 kit lens at my brothers wedding. Edited it in Silkypics 3. I wish I could get the background a bit more out of focus, but it prints ok at A3. (I did not own the 70-300 lens at that time).I do not know how to copy the EXIF data from SP yet but as soon as I do I ...
