Five in a row_K10D

The Segway Festival? and two victims

The fifth & final image is from the Pinnacles in Western Australia.

K5 + 16-50mm




anyone ready to take up the gauntlet?

Best regards

The fourth one didn't do a great deal for me, Gary, but I love the light and composition in the fifth - one of the advantages of living 9,000 miles from where I'm sitting (although London is actually visible at the moment, after a period of constant murk).

Thanks for your efforts over the past few days: the owl takes pole position for me...

The fourth is the weakest image of an otherwise excellent set for me.

Would a lower viewpoint have helped? You might have lost the empty gap across the middle of the picture. Also I think it slopes down to the left slightly?

Have enjoyed looking at your images and think #4 could have concentrated on the couple or the crowd in the background. Like #5 as it shows a fascinating part of Australia.

No. 4 - Like the others I'm afraid, it doesn't work for me.

No.5 is back to your usual standard. I think you've controlled the exposure really well. It would have been really easy to lose the detail in the shadows, but they're all there. I also like the structure in the rock and the detail in the sand in the foreground. Did you use a polarising filter, as the top right looks a little bit 'too dark blue'?

Of your set, the owl just shades it for me, but I like Nos. 1 & 5 almost equally.

#4 is not my favourite of the set but it does have merit. The view of the wonderful architecture is interesting but it would have been just another touristy shot without the reclining couple. That adds human interest and shows its by a photographer whose looking for a picture with a twist.
The final image in the series is a fine photo of a fascinating landscape with wonderful colour and well handled lighting.
Gary I don't know if anyone has yet taken up the gauntlet as you put it but the idea is you contact a member and, if they agree to do it, you put their name forward.

Number four doesn't grab me at all, but the fifth is very strong. I like the way the shapes are emphasised by the directional lighting and the prominence of the closest rocks. The colours also contrast well and the net result is a great image.

All comments appreciated and taken on board gents.

The fifth image was polarised.

It's actually quite an enjoyable experience. I have sent a private message to another member and hopefully I'll get a nod and so announce the next poster.

Best regards

It is my pleasure to announce that the next Five in a Row poster will be Blythman.

Thanks Alan.

After the suggestions to see a B&W version for the first image, I have had a go at conversion and this was my best effort.




Best regards

I really like that - it works well

And I'm not a huge fan of B&W - but that really appeals

Many thanks, it appears that others suggestions were well founded.

Best regards

I prefer this version

I'll get one up this evening Gary

I like the idea of #4, and its nice to see some experimentation. Maybe it would have come off with a shallow dof, throwing the background out of focus.

#5 is to notch
