*** This Week Through Your M4/3 2017.08.26 ***

[Wormsmeat]

Good morning to everyone wherever you are in the world...

• Please reply to my original post when submitting your own pictures.
• That’s reply to my ORIGINAL POST when submitting your own pictures.
• Give your reply a title.
• Leave your guns and knives at the door. Keep it polite. There are plenty of other threads if you can’t manage that.
• First thread kicks off Saturday morning (UK time).
• Don’t add any photos after my ‘POST NO NEW PICS’ message (reasoning below).
• Newbies encouraged, any standard.
• Avoid wasting thread space with replies such as “Thanks n/t”
• Try to avoid separate posts with pictures of a similar theme. Put them all in the same post to avoid filling the threads too quickly.
• Photographs do not have to have been taken this week.
• Images are often more impressive when viewed large.
• Pictures of ducks in the local park? C’mon, you’re better than that.
• Posting here implies you’re happy to receive a critique of your work.
• You can post links to external websites but people in here tend to ignore them.
• Apologies if I don't reply to everyone. This thread is becoming more and more popular and therefore more time-consuming. So…
• PLEASE TRY TO COMMENT ON SOME OTHER PEOPLE’S WORK. That includes YOU newbies…it helps to take the strain off of me a little.

***PLEASE NOTE***

We will start the next part of this thread before this one is full. At around 110/150 posts. This does not mean the current thread is closed, but please don't post any new PHOTOGRAPHS to it.

• Please continue to post COMMENTS and REPLIES to any thread but when a newer one has been launched, post your new photographs to that.
• The reasoning is that if you’ve posted a picture in an earlier thread there'll still be room for you to receive a comment on it later in the week.
• It also prevents tail-enders in earlier threads getting no comments at all because the thread to which they have posted is full.

More little boxes...

Looks good on my screen but a bit flat here.

Or do you prefer colour? Maybe shows off the fact that it's a night shot better...

There is quite a lot of individuality. Does it make the shot better or worse? I think better.

Got hauled out of bed to attend school at 7.30am on results day, to serve as standby wallet if a need for emergency remarking order happens. Very soon it became obvious that the examinee exceeded his highest offer by the max margin possible and the wallet was unceremoniously dismissed so he could celebrate with his mates.

Chatting with other relieved/proud parents only went so far and eventually I drifted away towards an early start at work. En route I thought the light was pretty good so clicked a few shots. As you can see the light was good but the photographer was a bit indifferent.

Fortunately the student got into Cambridge

I like the idea of "shutter therapy". There a lot to be said for that. There's something special about taking a particular shot and instantly knowing, "now this is going to work"!
Makes you feel good! I suppose it is equivalent to "retail therapy".

I like your single rose shot, image #2, nice and symmetrical.

I was just contemplating buying that 45mm F1.8 Lens for portraits. Are you happy with it?

 

[tt321]

I am very happy with this lens. It is fast AF, sharp from wide open in the centre (one of these photos was taken with f/1.8), with passable bokeh, etc.

I have not used it much for portraits - my portraits are taken with wider lenses normally.

Here's a few shots from the last 4 recent hikes in the Hochkönig region.
I posted some before in the landscape forum.

Some hikes start off really easy ;-)

Stegmoosalm

Pano from the top of the Schneeberg. Made a 120 x 40 cm of this one

...on a mountain pasture peaking through the trees

Light catching a pasture. Rain is on the way. Good to always have a rain jacket with you!

The blue misty mountains

Clouds down below - Steinbockalm

The easy way up today with the Steinbockalm chair lift

The waterfalls at Riedingeralm - guarded by that white cow

Close up of a giant seagull, or is it a waterfall ?

Depends on your objective - do you want the viewer to have to stop and look critically at the shot to determine what he is actually seeing (b&w) or be able with a quick glance to see these are London luxury condos (color)?

 

[Jim Vincent]

Looks like a beautiful area to hike. Nice photos all.

Love your pano and waterfall seagull.

 

[tt321]

Amazing scenery, well worth hiking up to.

I like the selective lighting scene, the dead trunk, and the final waterfall where the lens flare got worked into the scene well.

Sleeping Swan

This Swan slept later than me this morning.

 

[will focus]

Beautiful images, all of them, really. Seagull Falls, hmmm, has a nice ring to it, yes?

 

[will focus]

I believe venetian blinds were invented with you in mind. Great image. Another study of the quest for individuality in a mass produced world.

 

[will focus]

I like the depth in #3, the foreground leaf and the background being so out of focus it gives the main subject a 3d feel.

August in Monterey often means gray overcast days at the beach with flat light, which is what the first photo represents, and also the beginning of autumn, which is what the second photo shows.

I'll leave it to you to figure out where...

Shot in JPEG. Cropped to taste. Exif in tact.
