Hi David,

Unsurprisingly, similar feedback - great use of high key/ contrast B&W to produce a very striking image.

(Great use of leading lines to guide the viewer through the fascinating scenery).

Thank you for sharing...

Hi Nick,

Two very dramatic high key/ high contrast B&W treatments which perfectly pop these 3D-esque landscape shots (terrific skies and - incredibly - no rain).

Great work - and thank you for sharing...

Thanks Phil, It was actually nice shooting at low ISO without worrying too much, the lack of light these last couple of months has been thoroughly depressing, It seems to be always be a nice day when I'm at work. The R5 becomes a totally different beast when the light is good.

Hi Nick,

We feel your pain - it always seems to be a nice day when we're somewhere else...

Hi Brucey,

An absolutely sublime capture! Well worth your efforts - hopefully you got your due rewards?

(We think this shot would also work well with a B&W treatment).


A similar composition, but featuring sunrise/ sunset (or perhaps a creatively colour-popped re-edit of this shot?) should be worth aiming for. (Good luck!).

In the meantime, well done here - and thank you for sharing...

Hi,

Many thanks, it was a rough old day and unusually for Brighton sea front I was the only one daft enough to be on the beach taking photos.

I did try B&W out on a similar photo with a slightly different composition but plumped for the washed out look, with the the grim looking sea colour too. The theme of the competition was dilapidation and I was looking to convey atmosphere.

It came 2nd, so not bad at all.

[Bucolic Old Sir Henry]

My 15 year old granddaughter finally got her braces off after wearing them for 4 years! She asked me to take some portraits of her and her new smile! I set up some lights in my garage/workshop and after shooting there we stopped at a local park. It was overcast so very nice for outdoor portraits.

Great set. I particularly like the b&w in the middle - looks beautifully natural.

Caught this yesterday: a black kite chasing off an osprey (I think the osprey was a little too close to the kite's nest).

Hi David,

Real drama in the skies evidenced here - well seen and very well caught!

(It appears that 'exiting stage right' is a rather good move for the osprey).

Thank you for sharing...
