Fortnightly competition # 8: Comments
I had (what seemed like) a great idea for this week's comp; spent two hours setting the camera and the backdrop up, got my "subjects" from the freezer and by the time I'd placed them all where I wanted they'd started melting and sliding all over the place. The end result looks nothing like I'd imagi...

Fortnightly Competition # 9 Doors
Competition results !! Ok . Well done to everyone who entered. Some good and imaginative interpretations of the theme. I think this is one of the strengths of the fortnightly competition where we have to go and “create” an image rather than use our back-catalogues ! Malo1961 Straight off an...

Fortnightly Competition # 9 Doors
Congratulations to Tony-O, I was really impressed with your picture. Also well done to Peter for keeping the standard of judging high. Some really good pictures again, and pretty varied, so it can't have been easy to pick a winner. Having attempted a fridge shot before I know how hard RR's pictur...

I found some time for logging in at last...... Thanks, judge! Good pic-s and good (and friendly) opinions ! And very interesting theme. It made mind restless and kept the thoughts busy with the theme. I wouldnt have given myself so many plusses as you did. I liked the door, but wasnt so pl...

...................Hyram's clock made me to wish to try the "clock" pic myself. I would have opened the door a little bit, got the key in the focus and had the klockface as a hint on backround.....as if peeping into a forbidden room... close up for sure. If I have a spare moment, I shall try that a...

Weekly Competition # 84: A Face
I was hoping for a quiet time, but the entries just keep coming in !!!! That's good though :D Judging will be a little bit later than usual, as I have to go to the Orkney Isles on short notice this weekend. I'm assured that the hotel has web access, but it probably won't be until Monday ev...

FORTNIGHTLY COMPETITION # 10. Everyday Object from a weird,unusual,puzzling perspective!
Well thanks to everyone who took the time and effort to enter this competition.This was a difficult topic to do well.It was inevitable that most if not all would be macro or close-up images.I knew it was going to be a real challenge for me to identify most of the objects,I will though have a guess ...

FORTNIGHTLY COMPETITION # 10. Everyday Object from a weird,unusual,puzzling perspective!
Well, confusion seems the keyword, running this topic.:D:D:D First of all; Congrats to Andrew. Personally I don't think it is a knife rack, but still haven't got a clue of what it is. For a moment I thought of a little button, you push in, to lock the car door.:? After that I gave up the idea. C...

FORTNIGHTLY COMPETITION # 10. Everyday Object from a weird,unusual,puzzling perspective!
Being pedantic, my shot is of the mirror inside my ME Super (lens removed obviously), which is reflecting the focussing screen and the image way beyond reflected through the pentaprism via the viewfinder. I started off this shot with my Super A and began by cleaning the mirror. In the process I ...

Competition 87 This Modern World
Sorry about being missing for a day but I've now started the competition. I'm 100 miles away from home, at my son's in Halifax because they have just given us a new grandson, Callum. I was using his computer Monday morning then it died on us and I hadn't got either the time or the computer to get ba...

Fornightly Competition no.11: Something wide
First of all, thanks everyone for entering - though, as usual, pity there weren't more entries. I very much enjoyed taking in the images as they came in. Now to judgment - which it goes without saying is as subjective as anyone else's:lol:... GlynM – Amaryllis Good detail, colour and exposure on...

Fortnightly competition no.11 Comments
I hadn't thought of an entry like Glyn's -- a closeup wide angle. Good one. Thanks. I'm not sure it shows off the features of a wide lens. When I first got the 10-20 I had ambitions to use it for landscapes but I tended to get vast open empty foregrounds. However it has been good for buildings espe...

Fortnightly Competition no # 12: Your best shot ever.
I had the opportunity of photographing a Moonraker (classic 1970's motor cruiser) ablaze in Chichester Harbour today, but it seemed slightly 'ghoulish' so I decided against it, partly because the boat was owned by a fellow berth holder and had motored past me only a few minutes earlier and partly be...

Fortnightly Competition no # 12: Your best shot ever.
Well.........here I am, facing the challenge of judging this competition. A competition with a twist. I dumped the gauntlet right between you in a attempt to attract as much attention as possible. Well.....attention was given, but not as suspected. 4 pages of discussion in the comment section agains...
