Well, am now 4 weeks behind on this project due to life getting in the way so anything I take is going to have to fit into my 'cluttered' schedule. I will get this project back on track but didntvrealise how hard it would be to find time to get the pics taken

Week 3 and possibly 4 have been delayed due to spending all weekend fitting a new laminate floor. Hope to catch up by week 5 though. Disappointed I haven't found time to keep up determined to get back on track

Thanks for that. Didnt realised you can get TCB on this. Brilliant deal

Think I will probably do this. Subscription offer of 6 issues for a tenner is very good too.

I enjoy playing with my images in PS Elements to see what I can come up with. Most images shot in RAW seem to need at least a few tweaks to contrast etc to my eyes as if not they can look a bit flat, but as I understand it, processing RAW images is the digital equivalent of the dark room. I...

I suppose it would have made sense for new to be week 1 :cool: i know gettingbthe dates wrong doesnt matter, hope you didnt think i was being critical. I like your reasoning behind why the headstones are oof. I like the doff you used as although they are they are so obviously headstones that...

Both fantastic pics. I wentbfor a similar idea for accommodation but I think the dof on your pic works especially well and grave yards suit b&w I think. Btw, you have your weeks the wrong way round, not that it is important really

When I looked around at a telephoto zoom for my A200 the Tamron 70-300 generally got better reviews than the Sony 75-300. I purchased the Tamron and have been well happy with it. Jessops did have it in their New Year sale for £99 as well, they still might

I had left a bit of space to the right of the blue car, not much, but it seems the Poladroid software perhaps crops a tiny bit from around the image. The square crop really forces you to rethink composition, especially when taking the pics in 3:2 initially. I really wanted the track to run out...

Wow, amazing how quickly technology moves on. Great shot, love the reflections and the crisp black background

Week 2 - New I had lots of ideas for this, but mainly the relied on good weather (it has rained here all week) or items arriving that didn't (dad's new car not been delivered). In the end I decided to take some photographs of the kids new toys that they received for Christmas. I also used my...

Your week 1 pic has a great atmosphere about it, I likevthe lighting. Thecsimplicity of number 2 is nice and the water drops set it off well

Number 2 is nicely focussed but as said above I would be tempted to crop it a bit

Love the sheep. Good on you for managing to improvise this week to keep up.

The non flash version is definitely the better photo IMO. I quite like the original, shame the new shoot just wasn't that bit bigger and a more vibrant green I suppose but we have to work with what nature gives us
