Wish I'd been there but I was busy with something else. It looks like it was a good meet up and its resulted in some great pictures.

That sorry tale says more about the prat of a judge and Melbourne Camera Club than about the quality of your photography Horst. I'm glad you stuck to your guns over this new fangled colour but also kept up with your best B+W work. There's room in photography for both colour and mono, some pictures work better with one than the other and sometimes a photograph is so good it works well either way. I would never say colour is better than black and white, or the other way round, a good photo is a good photo in which ever medium.

These are absolutely super abstracts that work so very well. I like the sub- plot that recurs in several of the images - solid sharp green and autumn coloured leaves set against the deliberately blurred water.

I don't wish to pick an individual favourite among these, I enjoy looking at them as a set as I think the series as a whole is beautiful and hangs well together,

Irene and I certainly get invited to more funerals than weddings these days.

This morning I popped in the Home page to see which picture had won Photo of the Week. Its an absolute stunner by VonBatKat and it was the first time I'd seen it. Paul Jay had posted a comment to ask how it was no one else had added a comment. I trawled back through the week's gallery entries and found it, along with some other really classic shots in the superb VonBatKat mould, each one of which could have won Photo of the Week. Very few people seem to have viewed these shots or commented on them.
One of life's little mysteries, as a set they are the best things posted on here all week in my opinion.
It demonstrates how easy it is to miss pictures that have been posted no matter how often you go into The Gallery - but for so many of us to miss this????

That's lovely Peter. You don't say how outdated the Ektachrome was - was it years old?

What a colourful set Nigel, and what an interesting ferry trip.

I've been there, done it, in terrible weather, bright mid summer sunshine and autumn colours but have never done justice to this romantic setting. My images of Eilean Donan pail into insignificance compared to Alimid's lovely submissions.

I'm with Andrew and Carl, I think good quality black and white photography can be very exciting. And I'm sorry Nigel can't appreciate the 'decisive moment' in photography, this is truly an art form, whether mono or colour, lifted from mere craft to high art, never more so than in the work HCB. Only still photography can capture this illusive element which every street photographer strives to achieve.
