Wow, really amazing colours when viewed large, Steve. Plays with the senses so much that it’s quite hypnotic – great capture!

Mistyisle replied to the topic Slightly abstract – from hotel in Darwin, Australia in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 5mo ago
Thanks, Patrick, using exposure and contrast certainly helps and was straightforward. You are definitely right about the perspective, indeed it really stands out that the top right and left ceilings are not in good alignment at their edges. So far, in my tries I have tried both the mesh warp and perspective tools with some measure of success – e…[Read more]

Very cool, Patrick! – a word an old guy like me seldom uses, but seems just right for this. Though, undoubtably there will be different possibilities for each, I tend to prefer the colour version overall.

I haven’t yet thought of a title for this one, nevertheless was pondering if somehow I could improve it? In fact, although have looked at it quite a few times, I have just noticed the vacuum equipment sitting there – still, I can easily get rid of that.
Any suggestions for improvement plus, of course,
ideas for a title? -

Hi, I took this image at the Mortlock Wing of the Adelaide Library. As you can see the place has lots of history and atmosphere (very Harry Potter like). The question was – could I capture that atmosphere. Taken at f3.5; ASO 1600; 1/16sec; 38mms (on a cropped sensor). I have tried a few crops, making her larger in the frame, with less sur…[Read more]

A rose in the garden at our villa (we have 4 gardeners here at our retirement village!😀), taken with an 85mm prime lens on a cropped sensor Nikon. ISO 200, f1.8, 1/1600sec. My settings seem to have worked out okay 🤔

Mistyisle started the topic Tulips composition 2 in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 1y, 5mo ago
Same as composition No 1 – I took these photos recently from nearby plantings in our retirement village. Ideas about arrangement or editing, etc would be very welcome. I did not use a tripod so if you want to call me out on that, then fine.
Additionally, if you want to suggest that I swap a flower or two etc between Nos 1 and 2, then please do so.

Initially I preferred the top one, Marty. But after taking time and getting used to them, I think that the second has more pizzazz.

Hi Rob, I am very impressed, you have done a great job and I think that making the sky black is genius! 😀 Am now a few hours in trying to replicate it. However there is just one thing I am thinking of changing. The forefront has been cropped and to give the impression of depth, I think it maybe needs to be retained ( minus the Circular cover).

Mistyisle replied to the topic One view of Parliament House, Canberra in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 1y, 10mo ago
Well, Beth, I have used contrast much more, it might be better, still thinking on that one. Have fixed the sky. Not yet fixed the verticals over on the left, which I agree is important and will do. I got fooled first time around thinking it was fixed but there is an imbalance on the various verticals on the left.
Have taken out the female po…[Read more]

Diane – Thanks, yes it is, but I have corrected now. I had gone rusty in how to do this, but after a bit of struggle I managed. The problem was that the verticals on one side of the pic were also different from the verticals on the other side. However, I used the Perspective tool in Affinity Photo and that worked great!
Patrick – re the ‘bright…[Read more]

Took this pic earlier this month as we were travelling in Australia. Keen to hear views on it.

Did mull over suggesting B&W, but think that the colour mix works very well and does not obscure the story.

Mistyisle started the topic Three butterflies and a bee in the forum General Photo Chit Chat 2y ago
Photos I took recently, including three types of butterfly, less than two metres from our villa in our retirement village. Am pretty keen to do more close-ups so thinking of buying a macro lens – these are not sharp enough, I believe.
