Got up early and headed out to catch a sunrise. What I found I think I like even better. Frost and steam filtered sun. Made for a great shot and some day my PP will be good enough to remove the drain pipe.

hi Paul,
your beatiful picture help me to remember a similar picture of mine:
I've always to post process it, but I 'm still thinking from where I've to start. Any suggestions from all of you? thanks!

warm pool

Hi Nicola, thank you. I have little knowledge with B&W, but gave your photo a go anyway. Your photo is nice as is and I myself could not improve upon it as I was really in your same position. Anything I tried did it no justice.

[Nicola]

thanks anyway Paul
.... I like very much your Avatar! that picture makes me laugh!!!
Why he has the eyes closed? was the dog sleeping???
have you bigger pic?

[jeeperman]

LOL! It makes me laugh as well. Sorry, no larger pictures. That picture was courtesy of my daughter and her cell phone. My daughter taught the pup to carry that around with him, why he closed his eyes I am not sure. Maybe to avoid the flash.
Blew this one up some for ya.

Three images and always the same way to work the negatives. A coherent work with future.
However what I think you need now is a project, a theme. Whatever you want. Examples that come suddenly to my mind: clouds and sea (both in one image, or not); fog; long exposures of water in real Dutch landscape (brrrrr, I am cold just to think of it) with the Sun rising or/and falling, etc...

I give you a work: ( am I being too bold ? ) Show us 2 no, 3 good images like the last one but better, much better. Carefully done. With feeling not as an obligation.
Shoot 20 for example, and get 3 of them. Shot at the same time everyday or not. Just find a criteria and follow it. Drink your coffee and think about this.
Why is the garbage bin in the second picture. ?
Now you can tell that I am not always nice

[Antonio Correia]

this is a view of the most important church of Pienza... this is not a marvellous photo, I know;at least not as good as Pienza Pecorino cheese! have you ever taste it?
C&C welcome!
I'm posting a lot of my old pictures in order to understand how I can shot them better next time!
thanks!
bye
Nicola


I 'll go back in Pienza next september, when there will be the "Palio": a strange competition.. see at the bottom of thath url http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pienza

Thank Nicola for posting here again
Your photo is interesting but perhaps you could make the lines vertical ...

[Antonio Correia]

Antonio - the yellow stripe indicates that a no-passing area on the driver's side of the road is either just about to begin, or just finishing. A solid yellow line indicates "no passing" at all, at all. The white stripes are the usual middle of the road indicators. And if you didn't notice when here...I hope you weren't driving!!

Not Kit I was not driving.

[Antonio Correia]

Hi Antonio, it's to do with overtaking. In this pic there is a 'hidden' dip in the road ahead and the broken yellow line is a warning about the danger ahead; the line then became solid, meaning no overtaking. K.

Thanks again António for the nice comment as always

Wow.. I love this one....

[Peter Ryan]

A bit of countryside around Coober Pedy, Australia.

Peter.

Hi Peter,

What’s somebody from Winkleigh, Devon do in Cooper Pedy? I have an expedition planned out there around July/August this year, weather pemitting.

I just love the harshness and colour of the outback and this capture it well. My only comments are to straighten the horizon and maybe a bit of contrast enhancement to bring out the colours more. Having said that you may have added contrast but make sure you choose sRGB as the colour mode to post on the web or the colours can desaturate a bit.

The image you see came straight out of the camera, an eight year old Nikon Coolpix 4500 with 4mp. I spent September and October 2010 travelling alone around the eastern side of Australia in Greyhound buses using a 13,000km bus ticket.

I had not noticed the wonky horizon before.

If you stay in the motel at Coober Pedy, please say hello to Amber, the receptionist, for me.

Here is a picture of the golf course:



I must have a problem with horizons.

Peter.

ooops...!

my eyes have fallen in mistake... due to the fact that the house wall isn't vertical (the house is leaning) and so I've not checked the curch columns for exemple...
sorry

[Nicola]

hi!
let me post another picture in order to forgive the last one...
I'm quite proud of this because, in my opinion, I did a nice work in a misty (= hazy?) day, like it was

I shoot these in the neighborhood where I live, so no sea in miles
have a cup of coffee atm, and im thinking and drinking my cup of coffee
the style i created, I want to extend it further, and always try to shoot better pictures then the last one
which is unfortunately not always so, but at least i try
on my bike is not easy to find interesting locations near by in this weather
can not wait for the spring, to try new techniques
dont like long exposures of water, water starts to look like ice
i like water to look like water, so no long exposure for me


you were certainly not nice, but honest
your comment really touched me, and will NOT post here anymore















Of course I'm posting new pictures again soon

Nicola, this certainly does give a good feeling of one of those hot, misty days - very evocative of a summer spent on the sea, but for me, the yacht itself feels a little bit "constrained" by the way you have framed it, as it has no-where to go. Another interpretation would be something like this.....



......where there is a clear space in front of the yacht for it to sail into. Do you see what I mean?

[Jinseok82]

Hello,

My first post here.

This is a picture i took when i visited South Korea for my vacation in Nov 2010.

Enjoy.

[Sahil]

Hey Jinseok82,
