Another from me. On the left is my ggg grandfather. He was born 1827, this is estimated as early 1900s, so aged mid-seventies. The location is not definitively identified. However he was the ...

Of those I have, this is my favourite. A great grandfather and 2 of his brothers. Location unknown, but possibly English east coast around Cleethorpes or Skegness. Dated on hat styles to around ...

Placed 18^th in the challenge.

Placed 16^th in the challenge. Minori, Amalfi coast, on a wet November day

A great set. The only one that to me feels a bit OTT is #4 - and I emphasise the "bit".  Other than that the treatment is well within the range of what looks appropriate.

Over the years I have managed to get various sequences of dragonflies emerging in and around my garden pond. This year it has - for obvious reasons - featured more than usual in my photography.  ...

I started by analysing this year and was surprised to discover that 5 lenses have each done >5% of my shots, so I need all 5 to get >95%. All MFT, actual lengths used 7-14 f4 12-35 f2.8 (about 50% ...

Loved 1, 2 and 4 though I'd echo the comments about the over- tight crop on 4. I'm afraid 3 did little for me - evocative of a grey wilderness, but there's nowhere really for the eye to start. I ...

Unless I am misunderstanding the question, it is fairly easily doable in Photoshop Elements.  The problem is more that you have so many options and hence need to take your own design decisions. As ...

I've done a fair few moderately rough miles on a mountain bike,  with a GF1 + 20mm pancake in a jersey back pocket. To be honest I've never even thought about whether there would be any  adverse ...

Three from a rather misty murky walk along the local canal and pond.

Placed 56^th in the challenge. A bark pattern seen at Hillier Gardens, Braishfield, Hampshire, UK

Thanks for the feedback - there seems to be a concensus for the second (no overlap) version. I'll go away and play with the other ideas.

I have long wanted to try a stacked multi-shot sequnce, but having finally got a suitable data set I find I am undecided on the best approach. The basic sequence is 15 shots here simply stacked as ...

I have never really understood the effect of the various options in pano stitching tools and tend to rely on trial and error. I have found that Microsoft ICE can deal with sets that others cannot, ...

I have both an iPad - 4th generation, so first of the retina displays ( I think) and an aged Motorala digital frame, 800 x 600 display, about the same screen size as the iPad.  So yes the ...
