Again? (rant)
While it's customary and courteous to provide detailed comments, far as I can see there is no 'rule' that you must do so. As Andrew says, the pressure of having to do that might put some people off, although it's nice when people do it and I didn't mind having a go a few weeks back! That said, M...

Again? (rant)
Hence my slightly " tenuous " shot of little Willow "suffering" in the sink for her first bath - and the constant reminder that she was killed by a car some time later. As we have discussed at length,suffering is a very subjective thing - and according to the OED it can mean the action of permittin...

Discussion for Weekly Competition # 137 - "Wood"
Sorry for the delay in posting this weeks competition - I really didn't expect to win on my first submission for a long time. My work with and for people with disabilities is sadly over for the time being and I'm now self employed back in this country making bespoke fitted furniture and doing genera...

Discussion for Weekly Competition # 137 - "Wood"
Is there a record for the most entries in the Weekly Competition:!::!::?: I only looked as far back as when the weekly competition migrated into the gallery (at #55) but I suspect that as the gallery seems to have a wider readership than the formus I think it is safe to say that the existing recorde...

Elephant Men Thanks Glyn, for providing inspiration to go out and shoot. I've been voraciously snapping people over the past week or so. This is my favourite people shot at the moment. These guys were preparing elephants for a procession to a local temple to celebrate an important full moon festi...

Not much chance to shoot people this fortnight as my son has been a bit unwell and grumpy! So as a result this is my feeble attempt out of an office window Not sure how much she enjoyed the experience, sorry :D Stand back and admire the holy trinity of poor light, slow lens, no tripod!

Ok I have just heard Big Ben strike 6 on the radio news so this competition has closed. I knew when I chose people as the subject for this competition that it was going to be hard. It is strange that we live and work with people around us but they seem to be the most difficult things to photogra...

Good judging Glyn, thanks for the detailed comments and well done to TOZZA, Nathan and Gartmore. I apologise about the exif info, I thought it was all in the pic (Doh! :oops:) I will remember to add in future. I would like to know why you choose to make this shot back & white. From my dire...

Discussion on Fortnightly Competition # 36 - "People"
It always seems to me that street shots taken at long range with a telephoto lack engagement with your subject and the perspective flattens features. You really need to get in there but it's scary stuff. If we refer to HCB and almost every other street photographer of note I think we'll find that 50...

Discussion thread Weekly Comp #140 A trick of the eye
Second, particularly given the sterling efforts of judges such as David Trout (last week) and Promhandicam (of a record entry a few weeks back), I consider it discourteous when judges fail to perform their role in the time-honoured PUF fashion (as has been the case on a few occasions). If, in the ev...

Discussion thread Weekly Comp #140 A trick of the eye
Tony, I agree with Dr Mhuni because when people enter a competition they expect some feed back from the judge. Allowances are made for those who feel intimidated at having to compose judgements, expecially when English is not their first language. Very brief comments are acceptable and the least we ...

Although it's not necessary to comment on each photo in the fortnightly comp, notes were necessary for my memory, so thought I might as well post them, for what they are worth. i-Berg: "All my love lies buried here" Graveyards – one of my favourite haunts (oops, ignore pun), due to their atmosp...

Firstly, thank you to those that participated. To those that ran out of opportunities or were precluded from entering due to more serious matters, commiserations to you.
