I really like those Steve!

[RichB]

I really like the last one, it seems more interesting for being straight on. I love the different shades in each building section. Where were you when you took it?

No comments. They are excellent. No comments at all. You shoot very nice pictures.
I would only adjust the crop in the 1.st and 3.ed accordingly.
And would make the same proportions on the vertical one. To give more coherence to the series.

Steve, it was a good thing to park this image here.
But Steve don't you think that - at the right - the image is too bright ?
I feel like telling you that I would like to see someone walking on this road.
Very humid place isn't it ?
The monopod is quite a help isn't it ? Sometimes too cumbersome but we can't have everything in Life can we ?

Thank you for posting

Certainly is too bright Antonio; it was to practice keeping the monopod steady over multiple images and for some strange reason lowering the highlight which since it is HDR of 3 images is very easy to do, turns the sky bright red. Don't know what is going on there.

Many thanks Antonio. I do agree about the cropping I need to get better at this when I present a series of photographs.

I am sorry Steve if I began by saying no comments and then I made some about the cropping. I forgot to erase the sentence.

I think steve's photo's are blue, now I've had a look they are blue. I don't understand the 200 iso or the aperture, this camera is f11 diffraction limited. But saying all that the pics are still attracive to the eye.

The second f8 at 100 iso, if you had a Nikon you couldn't do that.

I wanted a cold feel to them in order to convey that typical British cloudy seaside day feeling.

Me neither, probably sloppy technique due to feminine distractions...settings probably got nudged when clipped round the ear by WireVixen

There you go then, problem solved

another pics.

It was raining a bit today but it never stop me taking picture.
I went to a famous walled city in Manila which they called Intramuros.

This scene was taken from the wall near the river.

p.s
I dodge the sky a a bit.

Intramuros: the name doesn't make justice to the picture you posted It looks more like an open space. Perhaps the Intramuros designation is coming from the old times.
And it really does as we can read here. Oh this net business has everything

The photo is very nice and I have nothing to tell about it. Perhaps you could densify the blue on the sky ( a bit more) but that is a trifle.
Nice work Mark and thank you for posting
Now show us some old muros still standing after so long ...

Here some pics.

Yes. The city's wall is still intact. I shoot from inside..
But... I only took few picture of the walls
The canons are still there too. Some of the building inside the city are still like spanish era buildings.

If I could go back there, I'll take the picture of the whole place.

I think you're painting too rosy a picture of Wales there Rob... ...how about some slightly more depressing images of the 'real' Wales?! j/k

Just kidding ofc... That's a cracking shot... What program did you use to stitch them? A friend of mine uses PTGUI...

If I could remember (or be a***** to look) where the 'delete member' button is....

Perhaps something in the middle - perfectly pitched between the industrial savagery/societies laid waste thing and the sweeping glory of the North Wales mountains/pretty picture postcard for Wirefox's Audi set? What about Bridgend High Street?

What program did you use to stitch them? A friend of mine uses PTGUI...

I load the RAW files, make adjustments, select them all, then synch them. Then I load them all to Photoshop CS5 and use FILE\AUTOMATE\PHOTOMERGE. Works great. The other thing is I shot it on the humble Panasonic G1.

Outback Australia

I have deliberately increased the brightness, to try and get the feeling of the vast harsh bright hostile environment of the Australian outback. This was taken 50 km from Broken Hill.

The first time I saw this image was on the iPhone and I thought it was very nice.
I suppose it was also a very clean air in the atmosphere I mean...
You made a nice work on the original photo.
Thank you for posting

Thank you Delboy for posting your image here It really looks a harsh place.
60 people in this small village ? What is their work ?

Thanks for your comments Antonio.

Silverton is about 20 km from Broken Hill. It was a mining town but fell in to disuse in the 50's I think and became a ghost town.

The film industry discovered it and it was used as a location for filming "A town like Alice", the "Mad Max" movies, and the television series "Flying Doctors". It is still used for making advertising and promotional films.

There are a few artists who reside in Silverton, but the majority work in Broken Hill. The art is fantastic. Lots of aspiration for photography.
I notice from your photos that you are well traveled, If you come down this part of the world I can highly recommend Broken Hill as a stop. It is a mining town with no tacky frills for tourist. What you see is what you get. A great little town, with lots of character.

It is a place we plan to visit again, possibly Feb/March in the rainy season to photograph some of the dramatic black skies you get in the wet.

Delboy.
