May 2006 Photo Competition DISCUSSION thread

Nick - Bloom With a View is a super photo. Where is it?

 

Dave,....Took it at Lands End.
Had a little scamper across a cliff face :eek: and captured a couple.Profile has one at the moment too.

 

Another cracker Nick!

 

I really like "roders " hole in the fence..i think its a wicked photo..its going to be hard to choose just three this month..

 

bloom with a view - fantastic photo, Nick - makes me want to be there, but it's a long journey! :rolleyes:

 

:( Tell me about it! :eek:

Strongy... Nice twist!!! :D
That's what puts me off staying in Weymouth...The accommodation... :D

 

Try Tyneham ... Blame Churchill!.

 

The quality of the photographs are so good I just wonder what sort of cameras people are using to get such great results. Having bought a Nikon Coolpix 4600 last year I still don't seem to get such good results. Or is it a that you need an eye for a good pic as well as a decent camera?

 

HI Rosietu, I can't see your first 2 pics of the catalpa tree :( I can see the wreckage though!
Is it me or has anyone else a problem?

 

Oh Liz...Thought I would be clever delete every thing and start again...They are back..the intention was to have the pictures following on in sequence..Aha.. but Gardening Yes... Computering well lets just say we struggle and get lucky some times.

 

Jordie... Coolpix is a goodun,It is knowing your equipment.. and that can take a long time I have had my little mju: well over 3 years and have only just found out how to reduce the size of the files..it is all there like the Computer but knowing how to get at it is a different matter :rolleyes:

 

All your phots are beautiful!!! Was going to enter, but don't even come near to the standard!!!

 

I use two Nikons.
A Coolpix 7900 which is a great little camera for fitting in a shirt pocket when out and about. And a much bigger (about SLR size), though lower resolution Coolpix 5700 which allows much greater manual control and also has a tiltable screen which is great for taking shots at ground level or for when you need to hold the camera above your head.It also has a wired remote control which is good for long exposures using a tripod.

Honeybee - Just keep your eyes open and the camera handy. You could come up with a winning pic just as well as anyone else.

I agree - being a very much point and click photographer myself. Thats where Digital really comes into its own - as an amateur, you can take lots of pictures and one or two will capture what you saw/felt - the rest can be junked at no cost.
