Five in a row - alfpics
Thanks David and Gary. I actually like the composition and punch of the first one but need to have another go at getting the shadow depth and colour better. Ok - day 3. An in camera effect - a double exposure. This was taken back in 1997 with the Z1-P and 28-80 lens on Velvia 50 First exposure ...

Five in a row - alfpics
When I came across this image, I was wondering why haven't I tried it with digital - especially as one can keep trying and see the result straight away! I've done a few similar things by taking a single frame, applying a blur and then merging the blurred image back onto the original photo..... Ve...

Fantastic set Andrew, love them all but 1 & 2 are my favourites. I love the processing, what did you use ? Thanks Andy. Processing wise the RAW images for each shot were processed twice using PSE 10, once for the skies and once for the foregrounds. The jpegs were then merged into one image i...

thanks guys - hard to get good backgrounds on the spur of the moment so you have to throw them out of focus wide open

Five in a row- StephenHampshire
Thank you all for your comments. I have to agree that no 5 is also my least favourite, I had a few in mid for the last, nut wanted to see what others thought of thought of this one....the acer is only a few feet from my back door, so it is a bit of a lazy shot! however I liked the colour.... the al...

ADAPS Straight Out of Camera Competition
Well done to both of you. Nice shots. As to the rules of engagement. Practical Photography are running their 5th. camera school for beginners and this has the same rules, plus no cropping allowed. One photo a month on a given theme each month for 6 months. I do it for my own satisfaction just to bri...

A very good set, and No 1 & 5 are the best for me! Beautiful natural colours and subdued backgrounds are the key components working well together. Good sharpness and detail overall. Well done David for grabbing these lovely images. I prefer the ones with just natural landing supports, not so keen...

Garden Beauties
I prefer the ones with just natural landing supports, not so keen where there are man-made objects. Also its a pity in No 4 that the focus is slightly off the face .. did you get any more in a burst you could use? Thanks for the feedback Nigel, it's always appreciated. I agree with you about the 'n...

My first images
Don't worry about people who say you don't need photoshop. Our learned friend is one of a kind. Every digital image needs processing, whether its by accepting the decisions made by the software in the camera, or by personal decisions in photoshop/lightroom, etc Exactly my point, if you bother to rae...

A super sharp and detailed image, John. I love this camera which has to be one of the best value compacts around. It constantly amazes me when I see the results back home. White balance and exposure are so reliable and that lens is special. The IS system allowed me to take a series of hand held ...

Nigel very kindly passed the baton to me for the next Five in a Row. Without a doubt the most terrifying thing i've done.....have you seen the photos the previous nominees posted up....gulp. Unfortunately i can't post anything too recent as i am laid up with a bad back. Frustratingly unable to ge...

I think that this is great in terms of the lighting. Regarding the composition I there are two areas of interest areas of interest which are separated by a large block green. That causes a problem as the eye is not encouraged to flow through the picture... Well done for taking up the challe...

I like this image but I think you could crop a section from the bottom to just above where the path meets the bottom edge. This would make the row of trees the focus of attention and highlight the lovely misty background.

The lighting is lovely..I live not far from Warnford, but haven't been there for a while, the whole Meon Valley has some great locations... back to the photo, I like the original crop but would have possibly included a bit more sky to balance up the darker bottom. Like the shot a lot though, take...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I think this is why i've never done this before, i knew my images weren't really up to much. Certainly not up to the standard of the members here. But its positive. I can see i'm not seeing the details right, the composition or the light. Back to the drawing i thi...

Woa there Russ - time to re-evaluate your view of your own abilities. Image 1 - I like this image - technically it is not perfect - but there are times when for me - that can actually enhance an image - in this case I like the varied lines and the 'fading in to the distance' effect caused by brig...

Corfe Valleys
They do look better very large Gary .... and they do have a film-like tone, I agree. I think it is the result of me dealing with what was a very hazy background. They are both actually blends of two exposures ... a conventional one for the castle and just behind it, but a lower exposure for the furt...
