Welcome to this subforum! Nothing wrong with lurking
. Lots of different photographers here with different interests and different levels of experience. It's all good and contributions are always welcome .Much to be said from looking at the work of others. Why did they choose that subject? Why did they choose that particular composition of the subject? Why did they choose the exposure settings they did (using an aperture either to isolate the subject or bring everything into focus, or a shutter speed that either froze motion or blurred motion)? Why did they light the image the way they did (choice of time of day for outdoor pics, or using flash (either on or off camera) to draw the eye to certain elements in the pic or influence the shadows and highlights in the pic)? Or more generally just seeing the types of things that made someone want to trip the shutter and then share a pic
Again, welcome to this subforum!! Feel free to post (either images in the POTD thread or create threads asking questions).
Your comment prompted me to share a pic from June I took at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City. Someone else's art, but I liked the pattern. Nothing special about this pic, but I'll share it anyway
Thanks and here it is...a long thread by the way.We're all here for the love of the craft and all of us I'm sure will be keen to help

Last of the sunsets - weren't many opportunities this year. Comments always appreciated.

I have an exhibition starting in a couple of weeks time for the 2018 South Australian Living Artists (SALA) Festival of which I was nominated and became a finalist for a fairly prestigious arts award (The Don Dunstan Foundation Award), results aren't announced until the end of the festival at the end of August, but I have a chance being one in four (finalists) for this one.
So I spent the day today getting my final two images for this exhibition, this is one that didn't make the cut, as was the bird one I posted in the weekly contest.
Canon 6D, Canon 24-105mm f/4 L, Formatt-Hitech Firecrest 13 Stop ND, Bulb Mode, Multi-segment Metering
ISO 100, 105mm, f/6.3, 30 seconds

Best of luck @Alexander.Of.Oz I hope you go on to win the award!
Exhibitions are fantastic to be involved with. It’s great seeing your work presented so well up on a wall.
I’ve done a few like yours (although not competitions) and enjoyed them.
I’ve also done two solo exhibitions but oh man, they are expensive! I won’t be doing another solo exhibition in a hurry.

Thanks @anotherscotsman ! It's a bit daunting being up against the others, they are all seasoned pro's, one is an awarded and highly known potter of 30+ years.
This is a solo exhibition, that's all I've ever done. Expensive and time consuming for sure! My next one is actually 6 weeks later, as a part of our states biggest photographic festival, that's held every two years, thankfully!
Wheat blowing in the wind.

Cheers, much appreciated. Only a couple of evenings when sunset was worth seeing. The rest were either cloud-free or suffered from the Florida summer early evening thunderstorms. Mustn’t complain.

We used to use the exact same locks a lot when I was in the Air Force back in the last millennium LOL
