That is what a dedicated room for a studio is for. So that you do not have to take down your set-up lights and backdrops, etc. My visitor's room is now my studio, so when wants to come to stay with us for the night, Bill will say if they don't mind sleeping in our basement, they can, because I ain't taking down my lights and removing my props...no way known!!!

I would love to have an extra room for a studio. That is a priority when we move. Robin wants to move closer to her family In Missouri and Oklahoma.

And I am trying to get away from Missouri... Maybe OK might be better...the only thing I like here is the Castle Doctrine. We have a strong one. But the taxes... fuggedaboutit.

Can't be more over taxed than California. they are famous for taxing tax. And the goofy laws.

When you have a Diane Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, expert goofy laws...

That is what happens when voting districts are drawn up to favor one party. People in two cities pretty much rule the whole state. the minority rules the majority.

Week 3 well it was taken last week anyway. I am on the fence on if this works or not.

It's raining. I better get started on week 4

[Geoff F]

The second image for me.

If you are photographing rusty junk you need to be rather extreme in the lighting to produce an interest effect with plenty of contrast. I suspect you could have pushed the contrast a little bit more.

Just one slight negative thought. The area towards the bottom of that image is starting to become fractionally soft.

[mknittle]

Thanks Geoff, I'll try some more contrast. Maybe I'll try this stuff again later on. I hadn't notice the focus

[mknittle]

More better?

[Dave Humphries]

Hi Mark,

I agree with Geoff that the second rusty shot was better.

Personally, I find the contrast in third, "More better?", too much.

The focus looks to have been on the rear most bolt, so you've not managed to get the most from the DoF from your f/9.

Hope those observations are helpful, Dave

[mknittle]

I was pretty happy with these Given this is pretty new to me. One issue I had was the frayed ends on some of the thread on some of the bobbins. no matter what I tried I couldn't clone them out. No matter where I sampled all I got was grey blurs. I cloned out some funky reflections that worked fine.

thanks Dave, and yes it helps. I agree on the third being too much.

[IzzieK]

I like the second one better too and now that you had edited the second one, I feel the same as Dave on that you overdid the process.

On the other hand, the last submission for Week 4 are all very nice. I particularly preferred #3 and #4 as they are neater.

Thanks for commenting Izzie,
I had a hard time with week three. It seemed that nothing worked the way I wanted it to.
Week four went pretty well. maybe because I took my Geritol.

Very nice, really makes a degraded object glow.
