Re: Here We Go Again... 365 2014-2015

Hmm, I'm not too sure I'd want to get my lenses so close to a naked flame. Did you scorch your eyebrows?

I'm unsure what to make of the picture! It seems to be sharp where it matters including the tip of the wick. I don't know how to score it, though.

Tell the truth Mike. You ordered your wife to step into the spotlight and do some exercises!!!

Never-the-less a good spot.

Re: Urban Jungle

the other thing I wasn't sure about was a "void" at top right perhaps Top right is not as interesting (architecturally) as the rest of the top of the image. As an aside I would like to see some more of the architecture in Singapore. As for the judging ... No, I don't think I can be a judg...

Re: Urban Jungle

It's a pity the club doesn't have one or two judges amongst it's members. It would be good to get a judge's point of view before entry into a competition. Ordinary members though will probably give a truly honest view (after all they are after the same prize!). Urban Jungle - 10 points. It's a nice ...

Re: Urban Jungle

I did wonder, what about giving scores from 1-12 as though we were judging?


Good idea but I wonder how many people actually look at the forum let alone the critique section.

Re: Suspended

If you shot in Raw, then you could try adjusting the Highlights slider in ACR, or similar control in another Raw converter.


Done that. What you see is what I got. Idea good, product bad.

I'm not too sure what you mean by this!

A slightly different crop. The removal of the plank bottom right didn't go too well.

Re: Suspended

I went to the Amberley Museum & Heritage Centre many years ago I think you'll find it's improved since you last went. Check out the web site it will give you a better idea of what's there. I bought a nice wooden challis for £5. It had been made onsite by one of the craftsmen. we really need cle...

Re: POTD 7 July 2014 - Peloton

My settings were ISO (fixed) 800; f/10 (camera set at AV); speed mostly 1/200, some at 1/160 and one at 1/320. Focal length was primarily 32mm or 50mm (wide-ish to standard). I was therefore getting a lot of the race into one image at a good exposure rate but, as I had set my camera at SPOT AF and b...
