OP - how are you finding it? I ask because I came here to ask a very similar question.

I'm giving this another go. I didn't get very far last year as I had to move house twice in quick succession and haven't picked up my camera for months. This seems like a good way to get started again :)

I really need to get back into photography again. I've been absent form this forum since spring, alot of things have happened this year - had to move house twice, work got really busy - and I've hardly used my camera. In fact I have photos I took in March that I haven't even taken off my camera...

Amazing!

I drive a modified Skoda :) I've also modified furniture before - mainly to give it a 'distressed' and 'blue' appearance. I also modify clothes quite often because the jeans I buy are usually too long.

I'm just having lots of long weekends this year instead of a proper holiday. It means I get to go away more often. I've already been away twice - Tain (north of Inverness a bit) in Feb, and Bristol / Cotswolds 2 weeks ago. I'm planning to head to a few motorsport events over summer (not...

Excellent. I'm a consutant ecologist / wildlife surveyor :) I mainly do surveys on behalf of developers (eg housing, roads, energy companies etc) and tell them where they can and can't build stuff.

Right ... I'm back this week! I still haven't done a picture for Chemistry or Play (I've moved house though and the only thing I've done with my camera in the past week is move it from a box to a cupboard!) This week's challenge could be fun ...

My shot for week 9 will be late ... I've had a chaotic weekend, and hardly had time to think about photography at all! I'll aim to get my picture this week, along with week 10, and maybe even 'Chopped' because I still haven't done that either! :lol:

I like that, well spotted and good composition. I like the rusty tones and think maybe a bit more saturation could bring it out even more :)

I think I prefer the desaturated version over the b&w, for the same reasons as you do - I prefer it with a bit of background colour. I do like this shot, I like the angle you've used along the blade, as it's not the usual image you tend to see of a hedgetrimmer and it's made it look alot more...

That's a great detail shot ... nice to see a proper clockwork movement too! :)

Yes... First car: The Viper Second car: Shelby Third car: RJ Sadly, cars 1 and 2 weren't as exciting as the names make them sound (Metro and Clio respectively). My current car is a Fabia vRS.

Hi Sarah, thanks for the comments :) I agree about the colours in the People edit. As I've said I don't do alot of PP so it's all new to me but I'm going to keep having attempts at it. I'm glad you like the idea though :) Thanks for the comments about the Mechanical shot too: I actualy...
