Some Images from home

A nice set of pictures. One slight niggle - number 4 has a slight blue cast, which makes it look a bit colder than maybe it should. Just my opinion, of course. I can't detect a cast personally (not saying there isn't mind you). Both 4 and 5 were shot using the same soft grad filter. Thank...

Some Images from home

No probs. In Elements (well, version 11, at least), it's the first option in Adjust Color drop-down list in the Enhance menu. Thing is, you need an area in the picture that is black, white or mid grey. Click on the wrong bit with the little eye-dropper and you can get some very strange results...

A couple of long exposures, some cc would be gratefully received as it's not something i get to do very often, using ND 8 filter on a really dull day

I would prefer to see them in colour Maria, for the BW to work I think they need more of a focal point? Long exposures are a tricky area to get right, especially where water and highlights are concerned. A colour shot I think would bring more life and interest, to me they look a little flat in mon...

Hi Maria, very good for your first attempt you have, managed to smooth the water out. We're you using a filter to block some of the light or just a smaller f stop. ? The shots do seem to be lacking a focal point of some sort. Maybe a wider shot to take in some surroundings, and or a lower angl...

I'm in agreement that they lack a focal point. Having said that, the rock that is there could be made more central, and then have a play to get the 'sweep' of the blurred water to fill the frame around it in a more complete way. Just my 2p worth! edit; the colour version of the first shot on your f...

I agree with the above comments about there being no focal point to concentrate our attention. If I may make a suggestion........or two: 1) Look for features in the water like small waterfalls and whirlpools, large rocks and weed, anything that breaks up the flow of water. 2) Try different shutte...

Hi Maria Think I remember you posting one of these in colour a while back... My thoughts for what they're worth as follows: seems to me that by removing the colour, using a filter to blur the water, and taking away the context of the scene by focussing in on specific elements (ie not showing...

Nothing to do with the images, but it seems to me that you have attracted a lot of very useful comments in this thread Maria, lots of people giving their advice and help. I think this speaks volumes for you and for the impact your images have had on this website; the Gallery in particular. Keep ...

Hello Maria, I can' help it, but I really like the first of the 2 pictures. I also think it gains a lot for being in b&W. Why? Because to me it looks somewhat abstract and it isn't trying to look as part of a landscape. In colour, I think the rocks would have distracted from the smooth , ...
