That last image (the clean up after filming the opening fight scene in Gladiator) is very good.

Best regards
Too far from a shore.

Thanks guys. Apologies if you're seeing a colour cast in the first two. I accidentally uploaded the soft-proofed versions with the colours adjusted for printing. Oops.

That will be a shame Stan. I don't know what further adjustments will be made, but I'm personally not finding it too bright, just light and airy and quite modern in its feel. I like it, as do many others, but I wasn't sure at first.

As for silent members, every club has them. It's nice to see people confident to join in, but also it's fine to simply read and watch if that's what someone wants. I'd like to see more people joining in the competitions, but it would also make it harder for the judges and maybe some are afraid they'll win!
Best regards, John

I agree with your second paragraph John. Being a complete novice, I do enter competitions,secretly hoping I dont win. There is no way I could comment on other peoples entries the way some judges do. About the new look, I agree that the wordings could be made bolder, they do seem to fade into the background. Ken

The good news is my left eye is getting a little better, I can make out the first letter and second row, if I move my head about, of an opticians test card. Still plagued with double vision but in a couple of months it may be worth getting new specs. Consultant was talking about sticking a needle in my eye, if he feels it necessary, in two months time. Personally I'm looking forward to that as much as I'd look forward to licking cat's pee off nettles. Still mustn't complain
If the needle does the trick the it will be worth it Stan but not something to look forward to. Best wishes for your recovery.
BTW love your cat's pee analogy.

Best wishes with your treatment, Stan. We tend to take good eye-sight for granted, and a lot of other blessings as well...
Best wishes,

Andrew

Just to emphasise for newbies (like me) Stan is clearly a highly respected time-served member and he was one of the first to offer encouragement to me on this site. Very best wishes for a successful outcome Stan.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Stan, it sounds awful but is not so bad. I had eye surgery for a tear in the retina a few years ago the surgery was short and painless. Good luck though.

I'm one of those lurkers I must admit..

As I only started out with photography just over a year ago I regard myself as a beginner, therefore I don't feel I could actually contribute that much yet.

And secondly, as English isn't my first language it can be a real struggle to write things down correctly...


Peter
I know what you mean Peter, I have the same issue with English too

I might be a happy owner of a K3 - - sorry no really posh glass yet -- with a Sigma 18-250mm Lens and I might love trying for better and better photographs but that doesn't mean I'm any kind of authority.

Having said this I will try to add my 2p worth and not be too much of lurker

Reggie
Despite having an implausible lack of skill I do have enthusiasm, an OCD level of persistence and the love of cake.
