27 Jan 20 Comment I applaud Kylie, I wouldn't dare stay in that house and am so sorry that bushfire destroyed this small hut. Our prayers are with Australia. Light is a great factor on this shot and what kind of cellphone did you use for interior lighting, it is too bright? It's a bit scary and mysterious. Good job Danny. Jan 12th

32 Jan 20 Reply I'm very surprised Stephen that you shot in ÇeÅŸme. Possibly they are 50 cents polishes, but good for photography. Jan 26th
32 Jan 20 Comment Women are the main supporter of world economies:) Surely, color image is better to take a trip in rainbow. Red splash as Tom edited is also impressive. Nevertheless, I enjoyed your bnw version as well. Jan 25th

53 Jan 20 Comment Impressive sharpness and a good example for hand art. Hand-knitting was also very popular in my country and still in Anatolia. There was no ready-to-wear sweaters, sweatshirts etc 50 years ago and our moms, grandma's were knitting for the family. There's nothing to say for exif, congrats. Your Project idea is also great, good luck Dan. Jan 2nd

74 Jan 20 Reply Yeah, I welcome your point of view, but wide f was for depth-of-field. I also have higher f shots in archive and may post in the future. Thanks Bill. Jan 25th
74 Jan 20 Reply Thanks for your comment David. As you can imagine, such traditional arts and related workshops can be so interesting for somebody. I do not want people to focus on a craftsman in front, but all the other details and working conditions around that's why I didn't crop from sides and darken the background. Jan 22nd
74 Jan 20 Reply Selam Stephen,
As you may know, Cappadocia is a famous and popular historical region, tourist destination. Apart of hot-air ballooning, iconic landscape, fairy chimneys, spectacular pillars; pottery and rug & carpet weaving are also traditional old arts. Craftsmen at family-run workshops use greasy soft clay that is collected from Kizilirmak River delta and foothills of regional mountains. Masters' only tools are their hands and foot-driven wheel. Nevertheless, they use simple templates just to limit sizes. Shapes depend master's art power. Thanks for your comment.

74 Jan 20 Comment Not scary, but sumptuous and must be dedicated to Elon Musk:) Good job Arne. Jan 10th
74 Jan 20 Comment Several tones of blue mixing brownish cliffs show us how wild Indian Ocean is. Very impressive work. Highlighted clouds, waves and the grey tones of cliffs and seawater in bnw version tell another strong story. Well done David. Jan 10th
74 Jan 20 Comment Yes Bill, Tuscany Valley is really a breathtaking area and the villas are exceptional. I'm a wine lover and have been there many times as a grape harvester. Regarding your photo, -frankly speaking- colored one is better as valley means green:) If I say something for B/W version, you cropped a lot and the sky is so grainy if you did not especially edit like that. As your camera has a light-hungry APS-C sensor, a wider aperture - faster shutter could be a better adjustment, but the haze in far valley and peaks is a problem. Wider aperture - evaluative metering is good for the half bottom of pic, but your f22 is still not enough to dim light in top half of pic. If you try to eliminate haze / highlights by using edit programs, natural grains-noise come! It's a chicken-egg story:) Alternatively, if you may give up the sky, far valley can be seen better. I'll try to re-edit for you. Unfortunately, there's still no technology to apply two separate exif for the same shot:) Possibly a partial cloudy weather and a different capturing time may give a better result ie under same brightness on entire valley. Jan 5th
