Mini Competition #91

[Dave Humphries]

Here's how it works ...

- You good folks post images in the thread (please change your post title to a name for your picture)

- When we get 10 images we will attach a voting poll

- After 3 days the poll closes and the winner is declared!

- If you would especially like some critique after the competition poll closes, please make it known in the post

Too easy eh?

Limit of 1 image per post, and 2 image posts per person.

If there are already 10 in the current comp, please start a new thread in this forums

Here is my entry: Niagara Falls

I went to Toronto for a conference last week, and got a chance to go to Niagara Falls and stayed ther overnight. I took some afternoon and early morning shots. Niagara Falls has been a photographic focus for many photographers, and there are so many photos about it. I just tried to do something differently, not sure if this goal has been achieved or not

It works for me Although personally, I think it's looking just a touch flat - I'd be inclined to raise the black clipping point slightly - and perhaps slight brightness and vibrance adjustments.

Colin, thanks for your comments. What is black clipping point? I'll try to enhance the brightness and vibrance a bit to see the effect.

Hi Yan,

It's the slider called "blacks" in ACR

While walking to the woods for some insect photography, these guys popped their heads over the wall to see what I was doing.



The trouble was that I only had a macro lens and a large zoom with me; so I stepped back across the field until I could use my 180 mm macro. And the light was at a very difficult angle.

Anyway, I've done my best with what was available and although it might not be perfect I still like this photo.

Oh well, that's my idea for the next Themed Challenge (Movement) just been a) thought about, b) executed better than I would probably have done it. But I might still have a go!

Go for it! It was the most scary thing I have ever done! The force of the train actually pushed me back a bit and of course the driver was not happy so see someone crouching down so close and let off the horn, which made me jump out of my skin! I had my son with me (far back from the tracks) to make sure a train wasn't coming the other way.
