Five in a row

Shamelessly plagiarising something that has been going on very successfully in a Facebook group I'm a member of, I would like to launch this challenge. Started by one member who posts one picture every day for C&C, at the end of the fifth they nominate someone else to carry on the baton as it were.

I will kick it off in this thread tomorrow.

Nothing wrong with borrowing a good idea Ken - sounds like fun to me!

Day One of Five

Just to get started I've decided to have a vague theme for my 5 in that they were all taken in my kitchen.

Comment Image


Pentax Q with 06 zoom at 45mm, 1/30 @ f4 and 400 ISO. A little refector that was an Amateur Photographer cover gift between the flowers and the window. Handeld I think.

Fire away with the C&C!

Nothing to criticise here Ken, it is a beautifully judged image, very impressive

Lovely colour. Good detail and impeccable exposure.
Best wishes,

Yes, its excellent. The only thing for me is the top edge. Either get it all in, or crop a bit tighter. Don't lose just the tip of the flower. It looks careless rather than a conscious decision.

You're right Alan, it annoys me too

This sounds like a good idea. As for your first post Ken I would say it has good colour and lighting. Although I'm no expert at photographing flowers, it seems technically sound apart from the slight cropping mentioned by Alan.

I prefer this second shot, the composition is cleaner. Lovely lighting also.

Very tight again Ken. I'd prefer a bit more room at the top and the bottom.

Leaves are a bit messy in the bottom right hand corner. And there's a hint of a highlight off a vase I think.

Very nicely lit, and the dark background suits

For me, the best so far is No.2 (except the slightly tight crop), the composition is great and I don't mind the messy leaves in the corner.

This one is a lttle harsh(contrast)for my taste.
Lovely colours in all three though.

Great idea by the way, Ken
Regards,
Michael
