A warm welcome have fun, some nice pics to start.

I see what you mean. Thanks.

Hi, I know I'm being a bit thick but can somebody please tell about the document spreadsheet for the 52s? Do I edit it to put myself into it or does another do this - and what does it all mean, the fields that is. Please help as it looks like it could be useful if I could use it. Sorry again for...

Me too - it's great to have a bit of company and structure to photographs, good luck.

Here are a few pictures recently taken that may be good for 'Handmade' week 8. Next week I will start taking new pictures, sorry for recycling these this week. Iron and Stone by John and Barbara, on Flickr On the Slate by John and Barbara, on Flickr Industrial-Strength by John and...

Feel free - I can certainly steer you towards some beautiful and interesting places - we're surrounded by them! I am very lucky to live here, overlooking the river Lune. It's like being in photographic heaven every day.

Yes I think you're right - it does look a little underexposed. I chose this viewpoint to try to emphasize the 'clinging onto the bank by the roots' nature of the tree's predicament - but for this theme I think your idea to concentrate the shot on the roots and also to shoot from the water's...

Here's my week 7 'Roots' picture - sorry if it's a bit ordinary but it's my first....... I took this along Cotter Beck at Hardraw this year. Here's a tree trying to cross the road.... Took this near Ingleton on the way to pay my window-cleaner.

Hi, I've just joined this group on flikr and now here with this my first ever post. I love photography but have never been a particularly good photographer. When I saw this group and it's ideas I was immediately attracted to it. I think I can keep up with 52 weekly pictures, maybe 365 would be a...

That's great! Enjoy!

I love it - I can't wait to try a few more! Thanks for the great pic.

This example is only an exploration of the principle. I love macro and will be trying it very soon on 'something tiny'. This technique can be great when trying to increase the very thin DEF of a macro. Moving the camera (perhaps on a rail?) would alter the size of the image and compromise the...

Hi, I've had a read about focus-stacking images to give a full DOF result and have had a quick try. Using 4 images I managed to get this result. Not perfect but a start. Anyone got any advice on this technique? Here's the set that were stacked to make the above picture.
