No filters, and on a phone camera, so not the best. Was almost an inversion, quite hard to capture the quality of light.

Like.
Thank you Andy. No they weren't taken with flash but I can see why you might think they are. They were taken about 30 minutes after sunrise so the sun is really low in the sky and with the tide out, the wet sand was reflecting a lot of light as well.
But it does have that borderline superimposed look of daylight strobe.
As ever your own work inspires. I meant to mention that the one of the rayburn cooker you posted is lovely; the expired film stock and that lighting works really well.

It's very good; nice composition, the light is fabulous.
Cocked up a bit on this one, didn't realise that I had knocked the ISO dial to 12800, but it came out okay

Remarkable for that level of ISO.
Is it Chatsworth House?
Trinity College Library Dublin, Fuji X-T2 50mm F2 at F2 1/170sec ISO12800, not gone through the rest of my card properly yet, but this one surprised me as the Fuji seems brilliant with anything green, but to get the detail in this one at a level I couldn't even see with my eyes, it was pretty dim in there.
Ps.. it's got locking buttons on the ISO and shutter dials, but they just seem to unlock themselves, never had that problem with Nikon, but still its a lovely camera
he Fuji seems brilliant with anything green
Interesting you say that because reproducing 'green' is what the Bayer Array is specifically designed to do well. It's what a lot of digital sensors do badly (compared to film) and is the colour the human eye is most sensitive to (which is why we notice when green is poorly rendered).
Oh with one caveat, Lightroom/Adobe camera RAW totally murders Fuji RAW files when it comes to green, as soon as you start any sharpening, only a touch and I mean a touch and you get weird wormy type artifacts in the greens. I pre-process using Irident X-Transformer and apply the camera/lens profile in that before Lightoom, then all I do in Lightroom then usually is a straighten to cope with my cack handiness.
as soon as you start any sharpening, only a touch and I mean a touch and you get weird wormy type artifacts in the greens.
Interesting, I wonder if that is because there's more green data than red or blue? Also you should try Capture One; send me a few sample RAW files where you have this issue and I will try them in Capture One and see if that does the same thing.
Deal.. I'm in Dublin this week wandering about with my camera so when I get back at the weekend I've some classic examples on my main PC that show this issue, would be interested to see what Capture One does with them. Ps Fuji un-compressed RAW averages about 50MB on the X-T2
Haven't taken many non work photos lately but I just got a like on a pic on my Flickr account. Makes me happy for the day - simple things eh? 'Cos obviously he didn't do it so I'd follow hi9m....
Not sure about this, but given my experience the other day (see 'Tough Morning' thread) I've been in a reflective mood.

Good photo. Lit well. Good composition. What's not to like?
As a magazine designer I'd have cropped in slightly tighter and lost white space from the left, or run a title and text down that area.
The way you are leaning to the right distances yourself from that space on the left, but to my eye there isn't enough white or too much. As a landscape crop it would work better for me.
Spectacular photos lads, just great.
I only visit once in a while but it’s always a surprise to see just how fabulous these pics are.

Hmmm, I like your suggestion actually. I will give that a go over the weekend. This is taken in my living room, which isn't terribly large but has an arch in the wall through to the dinning room. I've hung a piece of material across that archway and then back lit it, which is why it's gone to pure white. But all this makes it a little tricky to set up landscape. I'll try it with the 35mm instead.
Thanks buddy, I rarely get feedack so this really helps.
You've got a pure white background. Why worry about a reshoot? This is what Potatoshop, Illustrator and InDesign are meant for...

Ah that's a good point actually. Frustratingly I don't have Photoshop (or lightroom for that matter). I use capture one which only has RAW editing functions.
Erm, at the risk of setting myself up for a fall, cpu;d you just photoshop it for me? 😀
I'll have a go this arvo.

Sometimes the story behind the photo is easy to imagine, however, how DrJ got the balerina in full flight on a pedestrian crossing intrigues.

Hope you had a good time!
It sure looks that way Polarisandy. had an amazing two weeks, such a wonderful part of the Uk

So has polarisandy got a stalker or is there a sort of photo trail of neglected properties somewhere up north?
A typical crowd pleaser but I'm not so keen.

Eddiebaby - both 🙂
Hah, nice one Sofaking, good to see the same spot in a different light, look forward to more.
That particular village had untold riches.
It was the South end of the village to the big house with the wardrobe and cloths.
Same as the bathroom shots.
Enjoyed the mountain pass back to Tarbert.
Very different landscape from the rest of the Hebrides.
I had the opportunity to practise making formal 'studio' style portraits with a fascinating and very fine young man called Callun. He's a parkour practiioner and a very good one. He's only 18 but he runs a local community project teaching and coaching kid in parkour. What he's acheived is to be admired.
Anyway, he's been looking to do some TV work and I offered to help him create a portfolio of headshots (for free). He needs the shots, I need the practise so it was a win/win.
I've not really done anything like this before. In truth I was simply setting up in my living room with a white sheet pinned across an alcove as a backdrop, so it's all still quite limited but it was an interesting exercise and I like some of the results:
