Nice start!
 
Bit of a cheesey start and you're in a bit of a pickle with that horizon. I like it :D

I'm on the slippery slope.

Good start there. I like the simplicity and the geometry.

Thanks Bob,

it wasn't that simple to set up, I was going for the light and dark of the cheese in black, the light of the onion in black and then trying to get the toothpick dark on the light. Took me a few goes.
 
I really like these minimalist food shots. It's got me thinking that's for sure!
 
Thank you all for your kind words!

They are really appreciated as I have not shown my pictures to anyone but family before.

I like how you double rot13 encrypted that
 
COLD

The swan was hopping about changing its feet and almost seemed to be blowing on them in turn. I though to myself "Flipping heck it must be cold" :)

It looks a little blue on my tablet - but that adds to the "cold" feel. The picture certainly tells a story!
 
Great shot Wayne, I agree with Shug above. It is a little blue on my monitor as well.
 
Thanks for the comments guys,

I did wonder about the colour but I could not get rid of it.

I took the shot from the top of a bridge over the canal with the bright sunshine coming from over my right shoulder. I concentrated on the inky blackness looking down into the ice and thought it must be some kind of reflection.
I could be wrong though, probably am, as rubbish at PP.
 
I agree with @Shugpug, it is a little on the blue side - but that does emphasize the cold :)
If you want to make it more white, then the colour balance tool would be your friend. What image editing software do you use?
That said, it's more important to capture an interesting photo that necessarily a technically perfect one, and you've done well in that regard.

Could I ask that you put the week and subject (and technique if applicable) as a title on the main thread, not just on your personal one, as that helps with updating the records :) Ta.
 
hello Tim,

Thanks for the posting advice, I will try my best to get the hang of it.

I use Phase one but its an old version, eight, which I purchased some time ago now. I have also downloaded Darktable and had a bit of a play with that also.

This image is phase one. I have seen the colour wheels but been afraid to mess about with them too much. But saying that, I have come here to learn so all advice is well received.

Thanks for running the thread, keep up the good work.
 
WEEK 3
Graffiti
35mm

cant Make up my mind here

I am Leaning towards picture four but not happy with the right hand side at all.

That was 35mm, I think.

If I re-shot at 15mm i might get a better portion of the footpath and a better balance.
 
The colours in your first shot message it stand out most for me. It makes me all questions as well - mad as a what..?
 
Week Three
Graffiti
Wide Angle
15mm

I had another look at that Image and settled on a wider view.

I liked the beauty of wise words written in the hand of a child, and in the B+W image I added grit to emphasize the harsh truth that as mortals we are finite. The path symbolizes the freedom we have to live that "Last Day" as we please.

Is that Capture One by Phase One? I've not used it, so can't help I'm afraid.
In LR and others I've used there is a white balance tool (usually an eye dropper) which you use to select an area of grey and it will set the colour temp & tint for you.

Nice use of leading lines in your graffiti shot. Wide angle defo helps get that all in :)

Thanks for the kind words, and advice. It is capture 1, a very old version.
I am currently reading a book on Darkroom techniques, one or two things and bits of terminology are starting to click into place, when I get the right image I will have a go at layers.
In this image I wanted the footpath to lead out of the frame at the top right, i didn't like it being closed off and confined inside but could not get the thing how I wanted so settled at imperfection. :)
 
Great set Wayne, I think that you've chosen the best of them and your re-shot improves the image.
 
Thanks Bill!
