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.
  • Photos do not have to be taken on m4/3. It’s a community for both m4/3 users and also old friends who have moved on or are experimenting with other systems.
  • First thread kicks off Saturday morning (UK time).
  • Don’t add any photos to a thread after my ‘POST NO NEW PICS’ message (see 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.
We 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.
  • Feel free to post COMMENTS and REPLIES to older threads but when a newer one has been launched, post your new photographs to 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 from getting no comments at all because the thread to which they have posted is full.

A quiet week-day with a falling tide... I was hopeful that I might catch the well known wreck of the Helvetia without any footprints. No such luck! But a very atmospheric beach walk none the less. Rhossili, south Wales

The first shot is a great composition. The clone tool could be your friend here.
 
Last Sunday I found two interesting locations up in the Apennine foothills above Modena. Gombio is a charming hilltop hamlet and Pompeano is a fortified farmhouse.

I was not happy with the results so reshot yesterday with different light and the 28PC for the Gombio shots. Still not happy.

On the way back home on Sunday I stopped at a castle just outside of Reggio to do some night shots.

The Indecisive Moment

Looks like an great location to explore with an ultrawide.

I like the light and atmosphere in the last shot very much.

The composition in the first one is perfect. I would love to see a colour version of this one.
 
It's a fine shot but if you're testing the DR the shadows probably need lifting a little.
 
This shot has a strange vibe.

The two cranes remind me of a couple of industrial robots for some reason.

Nice one.
 
Charming. I never know whether to be annoyed by cables in shot in Italian villages. They could just be part of the vibe. The two similar shots:- I prefer the darker sky but lighter shadows. And Castellarano is a beast!
 
The EM5 has coped just fine with the DR here.

If it were mine I would sort out the verticals in post (sorry this is a pet obsession) and lighten the shadow area around the altar. It is surprising what you can obtain from an EM5 Raw file and a good software like DXO which does a great job on noise.

You can think this, but this was the light and the mood inside the room, and I don't like the poppy, unrealistic IPhone like colors we see far too much in photography.

If you look at the work of Gabriele Basilico , a famous Italian architectural photographer, you will see that he uses these horrible intrusions as a sort of trademark. I am trying to learn to do the same thing and use these power cables for effect. It is not easy and I usually fail.
 
Only slightly schizophrenic!

I have learned to love the cables in these places. Definitely part of the vibe.

I even manage to ignore the ones at home that cut across my view of the Severn estuary - until I want to make a photograph ;-)
 
The first one of this set is my favorite.

Of the two of Pompeano, I prefer the light on the buildings in the sunny one, but the pattern of clouds/contrails is somehow uncomfortable. You need a third attempt :-D

Lots of great detail and I like the strip of gold cupped by the arms of the cranes. I've been racking my brains but can't work out where this is?
