35 Oct 25 Reply Thanks for your comments Lauren. Sadly, I don't have any images taken from this position before the flood. Oct 26th
35 Oct 25 Reply Thanks for your comments Debbie. I really can't remember now if I sent the original to Nelson or not, but no, it hasn't been cropped. Oct 26th
35 Oct 25 Comment A great series of photos Lauren. When they are all completed and presented together as a portfolio, they will look good as a collection. Oct 26th
35 Oct 25 Comment Well captured Nelson. Great contrast, sharpness and texture. Good exposure, given the front of this cabin was in shadow at the time of capture. Oct 26th
35 Oct 25 Comment A great story telling image Tatu. While I acknowledge Debbie and Lauren's comments, I must remember that you are there in Finland, and I am on the other side of the world in Australia. You know all about the location there and I know absolutely nothing about it, so I must consider the image as you have presented it. You have done very well with the composition and use of the elements before you. Well done. Oct 26th
35 Oct 25 Comment A great image Debbie. Some details such as the road surface, trees and poles on the right hand side, lead me to think a change of position / angle has happened here, but that is such a minor detail. I love your presentation of this in colour IR. Great composition and use of the elements in this scene. Congratulations on a great image. Oct 26th
35 Oct 25 Comment Well done Phu, a great capture. Like Lauren, I initially though why IR? That's just because I'm very used to seeing landscapes in IR, where the effect is the greatest, particularly in foliage. A friend of mine wants to go into our subway system and shoot some IR photos there. I asked him why IR? His answer was "IR is just another form of B&W. Thinking about it, he's very right. Which brings me back to your image here, as you said to Lauren "Why not?" This is a great image, well worth aiming for. I do agree with Debbie though, that extraneous grass at the back of the bird, below its wing is not beneficial or important to the image and raises more concerns than is necessary. I think it should go. Oct 26th

73 Oct 25 Reply Thanks for your comments Ray. It's a fun project. Watch this space in some coming months. Oct 26th
73 Oct 25 Reply Thanks for your comments Sherry. This image "might" make it into the book, in the Now section. As the red car and buses show some of the hustle and bustle of our city, they would stay. Just wait until you see the trams going down the streets !!!! Oct 26th
73 Oct 25 Comment A great image Gary, you've achieved everything you set out to do. As Butch said, technically and compositionally spot on. Congratulations. Oct 13th
73 Oct 25 Comment Congratulations on a great rainbow Sherry. I don't know how your rainbows behave, but down here they disappear while you're looking at them, they're very camera shy!!! The whole scene says peace, calm and tranquility to me and you have presented it very well indeed. Oct 13th
73 Oct 25 Comment You shouldn't hesitate about submitting any image Butch, this group is not a competitive environment. This is a strong image of a strong subject and you got the best out of your equipment for this subject. Good composition showing your intent of man-made vs nature's power. You placed the pole well in the frame, while the lightning bolt went where-ever it wanted. And I'm sure more than one photo was taken. But I do have a question, why b&w? Personally, I would like to see some colour in the sky. Oct 13th
73 Oct 25 Comment A superb seascape Ray, well captured at the right time of day, with the light coming through the arch. All elements in this image are great, but I particularly like the sky and the clouds. I have only one question and minor concern, what's that round thing just to the left of the arch, just above the water level? Is it essential to the image? I personally, find it a distraction and once seen I can't stop looking at it. But just a minor detail. Oct 13th
73 Oct 25 Comment Congratulations on a great pano Dave. It shows the vastness of the Grand Canyon, along with its depth and colours in the rock layers. You've included the right amount of sky, in my mind, to show us the horizon. Oct 13th
73 Oct 25 Reply Thanks for your comments Butch. Oct 13th

76 Oct 25 Reply Thanks for your comments Jay. While I fully appreciate the comments form the other group members, I personally don't mind them either. Oct 28th
76 Oct 25 Comment Thanks for your comments Gordon. The learning curve continues. Oct 26th
76 Oct 25 Reply Thanks for your comments Trey. As you know, nature does what nature does. When a wind blows clouds, it also blows trees. I was reluctant to crop them out, as I wanted to keep the timber beneath them in the frame. Also, there was no where else I could set up this shot from. It is what it is, and we get what we get. Oct 26th
76 Oct 25 Reply Thanks for your comments Sanford. The trees on the right are being blown around by the same wind that is sending the clouds across the sky. Oct 26th
76 Oct 25 Reply Thanks for your comments Rusty. It's fun having a play with ND filters when the conditions are right. Oct 13th
76 Oct 25 Comment An image with a very strong story Sanford. There's absolutely no doubt what's happening here. Your camera settings tell me that you had a good think about what you wanted to capture, before the action began. Good preparation usually results in a good final image. Congratulations on a great image. Oct 13th
76 Oct 25 Comment A great pano Trey. Well seen, well captured, well processed and well presented. Strong use of autumn colours combined with a rural location. Very well done indeed. Oct 13th
76 Oct 25 Comment First off Jay, there are no "rules" in photography, only "guidelines". Your photography is exactly that "your" photography. So feel free to use some guidelines, but don't let them rule and dictate your photography. Great use of foreground, midground and background bring good depth to this image and the colours all tie in together well, giving the impression they are accurate. As for the yoga class all I can say is "Fair Dinkum", (that's aussie speak for Oh My Gosh), what are they thinking way out there? Oct 13th
76 Oct 25 Comment All the usual photographic comments apply to this image Gordon. Good balance of the boat and the windmill, just enough water in the foreground to provide the sail's reflection, good time of day and use of side lighting. I like the warmth of the overall scene, but I particularly like the definition and details you have kept in the clouds. Congratulations on another outstanding image. I look forward to seeing what you get from your visit there in winter. Oct 13th
