43 Jul 18 Reply Thanks. Jul 29th
43 Jul 18 Reply You are right. I tried to set back focus once but could not get used to it. I have been reading, how do you set the speed of the camera for a moving object. There must be some formula or is it all trial and error. Jul 29th
43 Jul 18 Reply Thanks. Did you reassign the * button to back focus ? Jul 29th
43 Jul 18 Reply Congratulations, I noticed you had a photo in the Member's showcase. Jul 26th
43 Jul 18 Reply Panning. That is the word I could not think of. Will have to practice on cars passing by. Thanks. Jul 26th
43 Jul 18 Reply Good point. I have not done a movement shot like that but would like to. Jul 26th
43 Jul 18 Comment How did you get this sharp at 1/17 sec ? Nice candid of a woman looking intently at the pastries. Of course I am thinking what I would think, so it leaves room for the imagination.

43 Jul 18 Reply Thanks, but I personally don't find the yellow object distracting. I now look and see it as something the speeding horse is racing by. This week I assisted a horse farm photograph yearlings to put up for sale. They liked the images less harsh and with less clarity to appreciate the natural colors of the horse. Although I usually prefer photos to pop, on this, I like the softer flowing movement of my original. There also may be differences in our monitors. Increasing the contrast also increases the vignetting too much. That, of course, can be made less intense if I started over with the original image. Interesting perspectives. Jul 22nd
43 Jul 18 Comment I too have been there, and the image captures the serenity of the forest and stream. It does seem that there are many ways to frame this. Your image draws more attention to the serene canopy of trees first and moves down to the stream. Linda's crop brings you directly to the flow of the stream.I like them both. On a second or third glance, I am struck more by some of the distracting branches on the Canopy view. If you like that version better maybe you could clean that up. I did a quick healing brush tool and clone tool to show what I mean. It is in no way a completed edit, only an idea if you want to. Jul 22nd
43 Jul 18 Comment Love the colors and textures. Although I do not think a landscape had to have a focus, I would frame it so the eye flows through it in a way I may direct. Sorry, but I also did a crop to show I would try to direct the viewer. Great depth of field also. Jul 22nd
43 Jul 18 Comment Wonderful composite. Silhouetted well with just enough detail. The sun and clouds look great where they are and intensity seems just right. There is only one thing, which is small and may not be noticeable if I had not been told it was a composite. That is the light on top of the bird may be slightly high for where the sun is in the sky. Like the image. Jul 22nd
43 Jul 18 Comment I agree with Mark. The open area that the bird looks into. Room to wonder what it is facing. Delicate pose, nice color and mildly soft focus. In this case it is soft yet sharp enough to compliment this photo. The Kaka is separated from the background well with good depth of field. Jul 22nd
