Weekly competition # 77: Feelings and Emotions
I was going to spend the week trying to capture the emotions of my family - then I came across the photos I took of my grandaughter for her great grandmother's 80th birthday. So I entered it, then realised it was taken with my husband's finepix - does that mean I am disqualified? :cry: No it doesn't...

Fortnightly competition #6 A Night Shot
Sorry for the delay - I've been having trouble with my desktop wifi connection:oops:. Prieni: Water feature in Doramas Park, Las Palmas, Gran Canaria This is a lovely photo. I love the composition, with its combination of symmetry and lopsidedness. The colours are rich and everything appears sha...

Fortnightly competition #6 Comments
This is perhaps slightly unfair for anyone in the southern hemisphere at the moment, au contraire They may have a smaller window of opportunity, but at least they wont freeze whilst taking photos ! I think someone in Perth, Australia will have more time to get the right shot than someone in Pert...

Fortnightly competition #6 Comments
Thanks for the prize, Hyram! :P Meanwhile I'm back home and I certainly can feel that it is a lot closer to Siberia than the deepest Hampshire! So don't be a whimp and go out getting your night shot in (he says from the comfort of the heated home...) Prieni

Fortnightly competition #6 Comments
... Glyn's entry I really like. ... Gosh, thank you. I'm a little disappointed with it. I did not want to put it up as the first entry so was very pleased to see your entry which I think is superb. I put the hall light on to create a sort of welcoming feel but this gave the camera a problem with...

Weekly Competition #79 One Hundred Yards from Home
This is really hard. If you walked 100 yards from my place, you wouldn't see very much (apart from old people, cats, and old people... and old people with cats). My photography - from an artistic point of view - is in its infancy, so I'm going to have to really rack my brains for this one. I'm deter...

Fortnightly competition #7: Scales
Back to music I fear! Taken Tuesday 20th at about 8:30 pm K10D Pentax 35mm f2 Twin flash f8 at 1/90th Somehow this doesn't do justice to how sharp this lens is. At 100% it's stunning Mike

Fortnightly competition #7: Scales
RichardC: You started off the competition (thanks for that!) with an interpretation of the theme I hadn't thought of. And I like the idea. I can see why you put the depth of field the way it is but I'm not quite happy with it. The title would perhaps been better placed a bit more towards the centre...

Fortnightly competition #7: Scales
Hyram: ......................I find, though, that overall it could be sharper. The letters on the scales are fine and I would have thought that at 105 mm and f/22 the depth of field should be sufficient to keep everything tack sharp. Could it be that you lost a bit of sharpness when downsizing? An...

Either that or we should all post here lots and lots and wait until the last moment to post our entries - get him really worried :lol:. Robert. Oh thanks Rob! I better go back and edit my praise for your entry:D This really could get to the judge if stretched to the extreme (i.e. the second Tu...

Damn - I was going to submit within the first 48 hours but decided to hold back :wink:

Weekly Competition # 81 - Flower Power!
We are not half way through the week but already it is going to give the judge a difficult task. From my direction it has been a new and very useful experience. Normally I struggle to find, or shoot, a picture that will fit the competition subject. However for this subject I have lots of possible...

Weekly Competition # 81 - Flower Power!
depth of focus What you are describing is depth of field. Depth of focus is the amount of leeway you have when manufacturing a camera - it relates to the placement of the CCD or film plane. Just like depth of field in the subject, at the fil plane there is a certain amount of depth of focus avail...

Fortnightly competition # 8: " Frozen water "
:oops:55 minutes, sorry. OK folks, another competition is ended. Thirteen entries, which seems a bit on the skinny side, because Mother Nature provided the necessary support needed. On the other hand I must say the quality of some pictures where of such a high level,it made my task as a judge ver...

Fortnightly competition # 8: " Frozen water "
Well, 55 minutes is not too bad, I think:) Swift and competent judging (though I don't agree with everything, as usual). A very good standard of submissions, not an easy one to judge for sure. As to the critique on my entry: Levels in PS show some room for brightening up the picture,and givin...

Fortnightly competition # 8: " Frozen water "
I would just like to add my thanks for your excellent judging and your kind comments and commendation on my entry. It was looking quite difficult to find something to submit but the weather came to my rescue. Now with the job done can we please have our normal weather conditions back. I had to us...

Fortnightly competition # 8: " Frozen water "
Interesting to see what you have come up with Martin. By all means manipulate my images - it's instructive to see what others can do. I would have played around with the original image more if I had the skills to (still - slowly - aquiring the dark arts of the digital darkroom). Though I'm not sure ...
