Greg as far as I am concerned picky is exactly what I am after. And you are absolutely correct, the light source really does look out of place. Everything else is curved and the light sourc is a rectangle. How did I not see it. But I have sorted it, nearly every droplet had some degree of the light source so hopefully I haven’t missed…[Read more]

I haven’t posted for a long time. A mixture of covid lockdown lethargy and a lack of inspiration finally went when I got around to purchasing the macro lens I have wanted for a while. And oooohhhh a new world has opened up. I have that long forgotten feeling called enthusiasm and the pleasure of learning something new and challenging. So this is…[Read more]

Peter replied to the topic Tick….Tock in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 2y, 4mo ago
As a pic it nearly works for me but there are a number of small distractions which I find quite off putting. On the right hand side the white curve just below the shoulder immediately grabs my eye. Why is it there? The highlight on the end of the nose is equally distracting. You have gone for symmetry in composition but because the symmetry is…[Read more]

I much prefer the vertical. They look as if they are flat on their backs, definitely dead. The rotated view they look more in repose which I don’t think was the intention of the pic.

Thanks to all for the feedback. Funny when you ask for a crit in the Shark tank you end up looking far more critically at the work yourself. In doing so I realised that the paper cutting wasn’t smooth so there wer jaffed bits on the edge and some of the colours looked a little smudged. Details!!! So I am reworking the whole thing to clean it up…[Read more]

Thanks Patrick. Actually it is white paper but I did underexpose it a little and because the ipad light source was from the bottom and not very intense the curls ended up in shadow. A happy accident methinks

Thanks Peter, I agree it is static and I really like the idea of putting it on the diagonal. I will explore.

Its so hot outside and the sky is a featureless blue so I am playing about with bits and pieces and a macro lens. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the feedback re colours and clarity. And Erik, I really like both versions you have produced though version 2 is probably my favourite. Again thanks all.

Not too far from me behind a beaten up old shed/warehouse there was this.

Peter replied to the topic Abstract Landscape in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 3y, 6mo ago
This might sound harsh and I am really not intending that but how often is the word ‘abstract’ used as an escape clause? I’m sorry but it just doesn’t work, it feels contrived. Where is my eye supposed to focus? And what are those strange repeated birdlike squiggles. I would love to have seen the original, in focus, blurred through the rain p…[Read more]

I don’t care about what improvements may or may not need to be made to this pic. What counts is the message. I love this pic. The best compliment I can give you is to say that I wish I had seen it and taken it. It sums up life at the moment. I never thought I would be guilty of making a ‘great shot,’ comment but there is a first time for everything.

Peter replied to the topic On the road in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 3y, 6mo ago
I really like the composition of this pic. The pic for me is not about a bike in a setting but about the bike and the road combining to tell the story of a journey. Yes you could have angled the bike a bit more for extra detail but that would risk making the bike too dominant, as it is you have a nice balance between the bike and the road…[Read more]

Peter replied to the topic Sharp or not sharp ? in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 3y, 7mo ago
I have used the same technique for photographing the moon as a way of reducing noise. But I always do it manually in PS. Take say ten shots. Stack them and then add a layer mask for each image. Then adjust the transparency of the masks so that the bottom one is 100%, the second from the bottom 90% the third from the bottom is 80% etc all the way…[Read more]
