Fortnightly Competition no # 12: Your best shot ever.
Wow. I think Martin just won "Judge of the year". Seriously, I add my thanks to the thorough way you considered the entries, and the effort you put into commenting on them. I too am a great fan of this fortnightly competition, having to produce a piece of work rather than finding one in "Blue Pet...

Fortnightly Competition no # 12: Your best shot ever.
Congratulations to the winners and my thanks to Martin for his very helpful comments on my work, who knows I may try again one day. PS sorry I broke size rules I did not realise I had, will make sure if I try again that I get it right. Would that be one day during the next 14 :lol: Got to adm...

Fortnightly Competition no # 12: Your best shot ever.
Well, there was a surprise this morning. When I turned in yesterday evening I thought, oh, the competition ended, I should have logged in on my friend's computer... So thanks Martin, for picking me as a winner. There was very strong competition and I think that Martin took pitty on me, knowing th...

Mhuni, it is the LX3. You can find a few pics from my friends here: http://picasaweb.google.com/nadiababkina2009/RondaneNorway# (but I'm not sure that all were made with the LX3, take a look at the "more info" link). But seeing the original pics and being able to zoom in is much better... If ...

Most of my best shots (not so many at all) have come to me occasionally. I usually do not go out with the aim of taking "a good pic". I take my camera with me almost always. But I do not feel sorry if I come back with no pic at all. Yes, I have looked at the old themes as well. thinking of ...

A few words........why worry so much? It's a friendly competition,and the worst that could happen, is that one gets some useful feedback/tips on how to improve. We are not competing for the Nobel Prize!!! :shock: Why didn't you say that earlier? Only kidding. If it were for the Nobel prize we w...

Fortnightly Competition No. 13: Reflections
Tony-O: It's the Pits Terrific start to the competition. There is a lot to discover in this picture and there is a red and white theme to it. It's in the frame (you did well to include it), the chef's work clothes, and, quite prominently in the letters. (I'm surprised to see that you weren't dres...

Wow what prompt judging - sitting in the back row pretending to listen while actually judging the competition. I don't know. Well done Dr Mhuni. For what it's worth I really liked beaky's photograph. Mike

Raw Challenge #1
Sorry, I did mean to come back to you, but I have been working away from home a lot recently. I agree with Gartmore, that it does feel like a PhotoShop competition, and as I don't shoot RAW much, I have very little to offer. I hope someone feels this is worth taking forward, but, I'm sorry it ...

Fornightly Competition no.14 Night
Great to see more entries in:D. The bad news from Addis is that the power has been off all day at my house and doesn't look like it'll be back till late:roll:. So bear with me re. the judging - probably won't be able to post this until tomorrow.

Congratualtions to Prieni. This was my favourite too, followed very closely by Darkmunk. I hope to be able to take part in the competitions again soon, now that the DIY is coming to an end. As Peter says, they do force you ( well, me ) to try harder and focus ( forgive the pun )on the subject i...

Hi Ralf, No problem. I had a look at the PPG for some star trail shots. And noticed that for a usable and visible trail in conjunction with the used lens (in my case 18 mm) a 20 minute exposure (give or take) would do the trick. (I have seen them with 8 hours exposure time. Using extreme wide ...

I'm saddened you are retiring from the weekly competitions Martin because you are one of the stars of the show. I'm also disappointed you think there are too many archival entries. If the entry is a picture that hasn't been submitted previously I don't undertand why that should be a problem. Differ...

I thought "only two entries, I'm in with a chance". By the time I'd taken the photo there were eight :shock:, so that now makes nine. Not bad for this competition. It's definitely a feature of the fortnightly competition that people wait until the last minute :D. Good to see Lilly back entering t...

It was an experiment. I stuck the lens from my old ME Super on my K20 to get the wider aperture, set the ISO to Auto over the entire 200 - 3200 range (with the extended dynamic range set on), and went out for a walk for quarter of an hour to see what I came back with. It was late already, I should h...

Good to see Lilly back entering too. Robert. Thanks Rob, it is nice to be relaxed for a while and have time to have some fun, these comps do spur me to try new and different angles, I think Doc didnt get too many at first because its not warm enough yet to pooch around after dark, that's my excus...

It's good to see, there are some wonderful last minute entries. Very original ideas on the theme, also. At least Andrew has some work to do. And indeed, good to have you back, Lilly. It has been to long. Now you can start making us humble again. :wink: :lol: Martin.
