This thread is fantastic, great to see its still going. The quality of the pics is immense. I don´t think that many people would vote against giving top prize to Grum, (your photos are so consistantly fantastic and the climbing one is my fav so far)but there´s so many cool photos.

That baby elephant is great, something really human about the scene somehow! I took some new ones the other day that I liked...

Don´t know what´s going on here, maybe a jilted lover? Either way it must have been a shock when they opened the front door!

Had some downhillers out recently and they did some sessioning on some corners... gave me a chance to take the same shot with different settings and play around with things. Pretty pleased with these two, although the second one could benefit from a bit of a crop:

Grum: Like the fire one up there ^^^. Maybe a bit of sympathetic PP to try to lose some of the noise? Waterfall one good too, but would it work better in colour?

They've gone through a bit of cropping, and some fiddling with the curves.

About as good as it gets from me, but quite pleased with it

Thanks zokes - only had Picasa available for PP when I did them so no noise reduction and not much control. WIll have another play with it though now I'm back home.

The light wasn't amazing for the falls shot so I though a mean and moody B+W might work better. I will dig out a colour version.

Here's a less blurry version

[img] [/img]

Like the Victor Harbour shot btw.

Also like the biking action pics - not really had a chance to have a proper go at that yet

Hmmm, not sure now. Perhaps the B&W does fit that shot better. I'm not great at this myself yet, but I think I'd try to pick out the silky water a bit whiter, and darken the sky to add a brooding contrast. Still well composed, just tryinmg to think of ways to get the best out of the poor light.

I got a couple in Waterfall Gulley here in Adelaide at the weekend with similarly poor lighting. Not really sure how to 'pep them up' yet. No software at all with me other than the horrendously clunky Canon DPP, and the GIMP. Not really set up for it at present as PC still floating around in an ocean somewhere en route...

It's nothing compared to some of the great pics on here, but I like this one I took the day after the Ride of the Falling Rain on Islay

Was quite pleased with this one. Will put up a few more when I am not at work. Any [s]opinions[/s] criticism from the better photographers on here welcome.

doug - f'in love that Dragonfly, superb stuff.

@ Torminalis

Like the pic - main subject on a 'third', grass leading across the pic works well, in focus: what's not to like?

(Don't know whether I'm qualified to comment under your criterion but there you go!)

don't care if you are qualified or not, you just made me smile. 😀

Pity about the flat light - took some with my film camera on some lovely Ilford Pan-F 50, but I'll have to wait until I've finished the film before I see whether B&W film did anything better with the flat light

Zokes that first waterfall shot is a cracker.
