Is it cheating?
No I did not soften or sharpen and this is a proven lens I am getting a bit worried it may be the K7 as you say the leaf is in focus but I spot focused on the bloom in AF because until I get new glasses I can manage to manual focus. :oops::oops::oops: Could kiss you Peter, just checked the body a...

Hello all, I thought you might like to see this amazing sand sculpture celebrating Darwin and the origin of the species. It was created on site last week in Bradford. Hope I got this right as it is a while since i posted a photo. Dave

Seems underexposed, but I really like the play on proportion here.

Seems underexposed, but I really like the play on proportion here. I second the last part, but.....it is definitively not under exposed. I think it could use a bit of a contrast boost to show a bit more detail in the sand (try moving the mid tone slider in levels to: 0,95) and a less severe crop (i...

Excuse me if I do not comment on the image but thank you for taking it. How can anyone produce such a work of art knowing it will melt away within a short while – when we take a shot be it good, bad or indifferent we have a choice of keeping or discarding to put in so much effort for such a fleeting...

Hello again Thanks for the comments. Martin I have tweaked the contast see below: I think you are right it dies give a bit more definition. The sculpture was difficult to frame as there were quite a number of people and general clutter around it. Here it is using the wider angle of ...

Nice one Dave, was it a one off or is there still stuff going on? I'm over at St Lukes this thursday is it worth taking the camera:?:

Hi Dave, I had a go with the first one. Hope you don't mind.(Otherwise I will take it out the air, immediately) I have put it through PT lens to correct the building. Don't mind the scalping of Darwin. It's just to show what the corrected building does for the picture. I also had a go with the scul...

Martin, Very clever!!!. What is the PT lens and how did you correct the contrast just on the sculpture? I am slowly learning elements 5 so the jargon and fiddly bits often beat me:) No problems with you demonstrating a point with a picture - that is how most of us learn best. Dave

Hi Dave. To answer your question about . Well worth the investment. IMO. For the adjustment of the sculpture I used Elements 6. Basicly this is what I have done. Copy background. Open levels using a adjustment layer.(this allows you using a mask.) Change the mid tone slider to 0,90 Paint ...

Hi Dave, I saw this on the news tonight! Lovely shot. They showed it being demolished by a JCV. Shame really all that work.

I think the wide angle one is much better.

Good set particularly No3, presumably as your K7 is pre-production they will not want it back, after all it cannot be sold, in fact they should pay you to keep it, dont you think :D

Thanks for the comments guys, appreciated. Being in the 'press pit' certainly helped get these, but it was hard work as we only had 2 songs before being told to move on, but hey, I guess that's rock'n'roll! .... as your K7 is pre-production they will not want it back, after all it cannot be s...

Composition is what you are interested ? Very shortly and only some remarks per pic - the things that jump into eye. 1. Two posts on rhino's back :( No noticable composition there. 2. Ok for me. Here you have used 2/3. (more or less) 3. I do like the background fence diagonals. ok. 4. Like the...

Or early in the day? I was just "bumping" it. :twisted: For me the first and last work best. The first because it has a big bold subject but could it be a bit sharper? I'd be curious to know what focal length you used. For something like that I'd get low (which would lose the tracks at the top...

You should be able to get a good focus by aiming at something with a hard edge like that white label. A danger with that yellow is that it will sort of burn out if boosted too much. I'd be more concerned about the sand and trying to inject some life into that. As for portrait B&W I wouldn't as yo...
