Water drops on a lily pad.
Almost an abstract image. Beautiful
Actually it was around 4.30pm. Evening Standard, just in time for commuters.Looks fine to me. Gotta be morning light, judging by the heights of the newspaper piles.
Thanks for the comments guys
Love the colors and composition. Nicely done!Water drops on a lily pad.
Yes, that is an option but bringing up shadows in post could also flatten the contrast. Right now the high contrast on the head makes the subject stand out from the background and focuses your attention on him. Just my 2 cent opinion.

Thanks - you're probably right. I'll stop beating myself up about it now. The light was really crappy today so I didn't go for round two with him.
Saw this interesting lady in Baker Street station this afternoon. Loving the silver boots.

There's a nor'easter going outside so I'm stuck inside until things calm down enough to play with the snowblower , so , for your entertainment , an update on the egg from last week's contest . Saturday , it was basically just a blob . Now , 3 days later , it's got a rudimentary circulatory system , a beating heart and blood that can be seen moving around . It also appears to have picked up a companion . Looks like some sort of protist attached itself on the top right .

Remind me of those haunting Hiroshima shadow photos. If you haven't seen them you should Google them. Very moving.
Fading away.
Really annoyed with myself at this shot. I blew the exposure on his face. It was my first time out on the street with my M9 and I haven't got to grips with the metering. I should have taken another shot but didn't as I was hurrying for my train. Wish I'd have missed it now.
Leica M9 with Voigtlander Nokton Classic 35mm @F5.6
What sort of aperture for this depth of field?
Really like the composition. Cropped to a panorama type of shape would really give a film noir feel.

Whitby...
Spent a day here 1970-ish with a local lady school teacher and some boys from her class.
Dull grey as I recall, wet and depressing.
Could not look any less like my memory. Love that warmth of colours. The rich reddish bricks splitting the blues and the flow into the horizon.
I like the composition a lot. How much was thought out and how much was it just because you were there?
There are lots of elevated viewpoints around Whitby, for a photographer; it's a photogenic place. For this shot I was standing on the road-bridge over the River Esk. I'd passed the view many times without stopping, so I made the time to stop and wait for the light to improve...
Miserable day outside so I spent a bit of time going over some old shots. This one is from a Savannah Georgia church. It's not as old as the European ones but it has nice details.
The first mushers are in to Nome, so I'll start with one of my pictures from today, this team is Nicholas Petit who came in third.

New thread with regular updates please please please.... Fascinating stuff...
Looked at the large version of this because I was drawn to the image detail quality (sharpness).
This has the feel of a print (inkjet); in that foreground and horizon detailing seem blurred/soft.I am using an rMBP to view.
Is the original image sharp, is it a style choice, is it a limitation of the kit or is it my imagination?

Love the blue.
Quite often get this effect up here, especially late at night in the summer. I'll try and find one from 'Sky' to illustrate.

Not from'Sky' but in my processed folder (library on my desk). This is Dunnet Head with Orkney in the background. I call it "Surfer".

Snow shooting used to be a real pain in the film days. Guessing how much over exposure you needed to loose the blue because your internal meter was being fooled by the reflected light.
I used to rely on using XP2 film and bracketing the exposures. Of course, it was a B&W film so blue tinge no problem but the films flexibility and the fact it could go to the minilab made the use a pleasure.
Digital has given us a lot of stuff that we now take for granted that used to be a real PITA..

It is an iPhone 6 image SOOC, taken on a hot and humid day, it's a little soft.
