Entries: Fortnightly Competition #75 - Steps
I don't think I'm going to say anything about what I will be looking for with this subject other than all interpretations will be considered :D. The usual apply. The image has to be taken with a Pentax camera or Samsung DSLR equivalent and be shot within the duration of this competition. Please...

Many congratulations to Northgrain, David and Adrian, all worthy of the winning place. Thanks for the comments, judging and competition Glyn. Your comments made me go back to work on the image and I have made a better attempt at correcting the lens distortion than my rather poor first attempt. S...

Thanks for your patience with the slight delay. Many thanks to all entrants.... I’m absolutely blown away by quality here and your different takes on the theme.

Acorns It seems to be a very good year for acorns (or a very bad year if, like me, you have to clear them up :?). However I hope with this entry I have found a use for some of them. This image depicts a collection of freshly fallen acorns in natural, late afternoon, sunlight. A four im...

Fortnightly Competition #79: Five Minute's Walk
The Walled Track Left my front door on Saturday evening, and for exactly 5 minutes walked straight up the old quarry track running up the hill behind the house. Then turned round, looked back down, set the tripod up and snapped away. I've used this as a spur to try out HDR, which I've been ...

Fortnight comp # 81: Crop & PoP
Orchid Stack I aspire to towards doing a minimum of post processing so for this competition I thought I would enter a focus stack. To try and keep the size down I have made the original shots smaller, numbered them (front to back focus points) and tried to combine them together which was not a...
