(Powell - Blueberries - Might be possible to
get a little more detail in the berries. I might try to crop a bit on the
right, the leaves not with these berries. The focus seems pretty
good; is this in macro mode on that lens?)
This is the first time I've submitted so I wasn't
sure how much we were allowed to edit our pictures before sending them
- I thought we just sent shots as they were for critique and suggestions -
anyway I will work on this -
As for macro mode - I don't know exactly what you
mean or how I would know for sure I was in macro mode.
I used a Takumar-a 70-200mm zoom lens - it
has 1:4 on the barrel and everything is manually controlled. ( I've read
behind another photagropher that macromode means something you're shooting is
the exact size as the item in the developed print ) As I said - a true novice
hear trying to learn what I can - thanks again - i am enjoying what I see and
read here.

Gallery
Hi all,
Boy those
weeks go by quickly; seems I didn't get to the last gallery in time.
Well here are a few more basic comments; looking forward to getting
better at this:
Dalrymple - Tile - Interesting image and
presentation. I think that the gold cord and fan adds to this
presentsation. I would guess this could also be glued into a regular
tile wall - which seems to be a good idea to me. How do you make it
weather and sun proof?
Shipman - What's her name - The textures
and colours in the dress are very attractive; the composition and flesh
tones are reaaly bonus.
Pires - Pinhole Car - Interesting
composition and technique.
Hansen - Winter - Interesting picture
elements and exposure.
Arthur - St. Pats Parade - Can't
really see the parade. The selective focus/sharpen/blur works really
well making a 'mysterious' photo.
Stevens - Stone Pile - Interesting process;
super stones. I would like more colour in the stones and maybe a blue
sky.
Mason - Curious Image - Nice
perspective. Is it a nature walkway. I would like more saturation,
but would guess this is realistic - maybe its just my monitor. It was
just too far - had to rest?
Van Verst - Ruby Falls - I like this -
shutter speed seems right for the falls. I'm pretty sure I have seen
this before with discussion of foreground rocks. The colour seems
right.
Powell - Blueberries - Might be possible to
get a little more detail in the berries. I might try to crop a bit on
the right, the leaves not with these berries. The focus seems pretty
good; is this in macro mode on that lens?
Chen - Red - Lovely and simple; not
simple to do though.
Vasconcellos - Palomea - Great shot and
composition. I would like to fill the shadow under her lip a
little. Nit picky.
Roh - Great balanced shot - delicate colour
- not dark inside flower. I might want to remove what appears to be a
dead flower below.
Thanks
for posting the pictures,
Morley
