This is where the fairies live. There are two hiding behind the wall on the left...
Janet's foss? Are you trying to slip some sheep in your photo's again? ( Janet's foss was a place to wash sheep )
I love this one! Raises questions about windmill engineering.
In the next image they are going to take a bathThis is where the fairies live. There are two hiding behind the wall on the left...
The Hungarian puszta, or what's left of it; dull? maybe.
Was there not a live one to photograph? I know this was stated before, but the background being much brighter than the subject is Very distracting.
Oh ok, i meant no disrespect. I guess it just looks better in person...
Tai Chi Art (clickable)
Shot some stuff for our local Taoist Tai Chi club. This is a photo of Art... viewers will have to know the stack, "super stack", behind him, is iconic in this city... and the slag heap, the black rock to the right as you view the photo, is waste from the nickel smelting process. I think the colours all work nicely in this shot but c and c always welcomed. Used a polarizing filter to help the sky definition.
As well, I was shooting in JPEG format then... not realizing the advantage of shooting RAW. BJ

Thanks, compuwar. Not sure if this is exactly what you're interested in, but it's a different angle and a lot of crop.

My E-420 with the E-500 kit 40-150 f3.5-4.5 lens, then cropped in iPhoto (too lazy right now to post the info )...
)...
Really like this shot - very restful - even though there isn't just one subject to draw the eye. It's the sort of pic that would work in a calendar: ie it would look good on the wall for a month. The only thing that 'jars' is the stones in front. Not the stones themselves, which fit the composition fine, but being out of focus. I feel the shot would benefit from being pin-sharp from front to back. Did you use a tripod?
A pic should work on its own terms, and not need explaining. There's nothing in the pic itself that 'says' tai chi. And even with the explanation, I'm not sure how tai chi links into the nickel smelting process. Or maybe I'm being a bit thick this morning...
Spot on. Janet's Foss it is, near Malham, in the Yorkshire Dales...
Killed this picture in post but I still thought I'd post it.
Yes, I think you pressed too many buttons in Photoshop. The flower is burned into my retina...
Yeah I just didn't know what I wanted to do with it, so I tried a bunch of things. I think I might re-edit it another day when I have nothing better to do.
Question: Do you guys know how to apply contrast to just one part of an image in Photoshop or Lightroom 2.4? For some reason I can't just figure it out lol.
yup there are many ways of doing it. I think tehre is a way by just using an adjustment layer and a mask... ahvent done taht in a while when i get home i will take a look and try.. i dont have ps on this comp.
