I don't claim to be a fantastic photographer, but this photo below makes me smile, and I was very happy with the outcome!
Story behind it - My much better half loves the film 'Pride and Prejudice'. Hence spending an evening up on Stanage Edge trying to recreate this shot from the film - (Keira Knightley by the way)

This. Times a [b]MILLION[/b]. You can have the best equipment money can buy, and still be a terrible photographer. It is not about what camera you have, it's what you do with it.
Anyway, rant over. I've been learning how to process 35mm film in a dark room this week, and then scanning the negatives to import them into Lighroom.

Oh no need to apologise. It's a great shot; it honestly doesn't need the red picking out.

Thankyou so much for saying so. Genuinely it means a lot to get that kind of feedback. Not sure what clicked recently, whether it's just the effect of working with film and a very different camera but I feel like my 'colour palette' has developed recently.
A few more just because it's a Sunday morning.

Love that photo !
Greg, I think it's those big blocks of primary colours, that really makes it stand out. It's a punchy, bold look, but I love it and it makes me want to stop and look, which in itself is a winning strategy.
The Hasselblad is certainly working it's magic. Are you using Kodak Portra 400 btw ? I've acquired a Bronica Zenza, so doing some research on film types.
Websites looking good as well. Not too fussy, crowded or difficult to navigate. All of which I hate with a passion. Nice and clean and simple, with the pictures being the focus, not the website.
Kiwijohn. I have a Fuji xf 35mm WR f2 lens on the X-pro1. Lovely lens, just need to save up for an 18mm to go with it.
Are you using Kodak Portra 400 btw
I am indeed. I did try a few other colour emulsions recently including Kodak Ektar and Fuji Pro NS but they come out far too saturated for my liking.

Thanks TofD. The 23mm 1.4 is my prime of choice on my XT1.
I'm saving up for the 16mm 1.4, mainly for auroras.

I can't even explain why I like this shot. It was taken quickly, on a compact (set to auto) on an overcast evening. I guess I like the big block of the tyre upfront with the chain stay blurring into the background.... 😐
with the chain stay blurring into the background
'Bokeh' is a strangely seductive thing.
A pretty mundane shot. But the 40 mins of searching and waiting in the local woodland to find this guy and then the 20/30 mins to get close enough to just take any shot makes it very satisfying photo for me.

Geetee - I think you may be mistaking me for someone else. I've never been on the Nicolai forum!
But I'm very well anyway, thanks for asking.
How funny - there was a guy on there always went by the title 'The Lecht Rocks' and shortened it to TLR. I always thought you were the same person!
Nice to know you anyway, and love the picture of the stag.
