The Tammy at F2.8 - Really enjoying this so far , hand held even at a second is proving to be sharp in a high percentage of shots.

If everything had been in focus I'd have loved that. But whenever I look at it I wait a few seconds for the image to buffer, expecting the background to come into focus. Makes my eyes go funny.

This is why the title is so important. The photo is about the one selected flower and that's why it's a great picture. Call it 'lake' or 'mountain' and it wouldn't be so good..

Call it what you want; it still makes me squint at it regardless of the text underneath. And I'm not really a 'titles' person, I'm a 'wow, that's a lovely photo' sort of guy anyway.

We're all different and there's no right and wrong answer, so I don't feel bad saying that I think it's a beautiful scene, well composed and exposed...and that my eye is drawn to the hills, those lovely reflections and that foreground interest sets it all off nicely. And I reckon I'd have loved the alternate version.
I'm not knocking it, just expressing a preference, and I'd hope Chris won't take offence.

This one is straight out of the camera, but I have the RAW file for when I start learning how to edit them properly.

If that's out of camera then I envy you having the RAW to play with as well. Nicely done.

I've been a part of this thread since part 1 and have checked it nearly every day for years but it never ceases to amaze me in quality. I'm a member of a few dedicated photography forums and they never yield anywhere near the standard this lowly thread does. I don't post in her as much these days but I'm definitely still here and still admiring.

That is lovely Rob, those colours!

Crikey - glad you qualified that in the description. I had started to have some concerns about a new ice age .....

Absolutely not I would rather people give an honest opinion that just 'nice shot' etc , I shall post the other version up at some point

One of my favorites from the entire thread

PS - got a C63 yet ?!

[big dub]

90% of my stuff is car based with the odd bit of landscape, but having bought a couple of speedlights, stands and triggers, I thought I best get in some practice at shooting people.
These shots are of my 14yr old daughter at a friends clothes shop.

Any c&c is more than welcome.

Seconded...a few very talented people here...the envy is tempered by the ideas I get every time I come back to the thread!

Stunning! Best pic I've seen on here for ages.

[chrismarr]

Thank you for a quick composition it's come out well.

I think that Rob isn't posting as much it makes us all look a bit less sh** If GetCarter and LLoyd fancy doing the same that would be great

[RobDickinson]

I do need to get out some and shoot thats for sure. Barely shot anything since easter.

Agreed . Some of your work last year and the turn of this was fantastic, the Mount Cook? snowy sunrise image still is one of the best I've seen in a long time .
