Welcome!
PRA :

Well they have taken out a patent on two 4/3rds lenses......

I like it, a lot. It has a melancholy to it.
I like the subtle colours, the lines the curves, all that, but most of all I like the feeling it gives off.

Adrian what software do you use?

PSE has a straighten tool, you can also straighten in Adobe Raw Converter or you can use the crop tool and rotate it to straighten.

Hi Techno, it looks like a fascinating abbey both internally and externally.

I know how frustrating it is to want to capture the interiors of such places. I went to Serrabonne on holiday, and it was tough getting any photos that were even half way to being keepers, what with the poor light, the tripod ban and all the other people there.

I'm sure all those on the trip with you will be delighted with your photos to give them lasting memories of a special journey.

It is always frustrating when these fascinating places are so far away, and you long to have another go at them. I know I look at my photos and often think if only I'd done this, or tried that. All part of the learning curve of course.

Maybe you will go back to Lourdes and will get another chance. If not maybe Colin will remember the church he has seen in the UK and you can visit that. I'm curious where it is too.

Welcome. I love the Arizona desert so I too am looking forward to photos.

So, we have given in and lit the fire. Now enjoying a blazing log fire on the day before the longest day of the year .

I thought it just felt like he has 8 legs then. None of them going n the same direction either.

I suppose if he is determined to change name and sex he could become a black widow? Or dance around as a tarantula? At least it would keep the arachnophiles happy. .

I like this one better, but to be really picky I'd like to see more of the body curve highlighted. As it is it is a fine photo of strings, a couple of elements and a whammy bar, but the Strat is a very curvy, sexy guitar and it needs those curves showing.

The depth of field is still shallow too so that the tone knob is in focus whilst the bulk of the photo isn't. Unless it's my eyes of course, which is quite possible .

Spider would be good. Or Madame Butterfly if you dare . Has to be better than you previous name anyway .

Welcome back Techno. Good trip? Hopefully you have had a good sleep now.
