What a lovely image. Is this watercolor effect in Photoshop?
Sorry to hear you are dropping out. I for one have enjoyed every image you have posted. You have a very creative mind IMO.
 
Week 10 - I really like that. Enough to make me stop updating the scrolls and make this comment.
I think it's the colouring that does it for me. It certainly made me sop and look.
 
An interesting effect Gerard. What was your technique?
 
Very creative Gerard ... same query as Darkslinger above ... what was the technique?
 
All on theme. Amazing detail on the ball point. Sport fits the bill perfectly. The monochrome works nicely - well spotted for parallel.

The bird really adds to that last shot for me.

Gosh you've done a lot of catching up - well done!

Macro photography can be achieved by mounting a lens upside down on the standard mounted lens, it's an old trick, this technique is used to obtain high-quality macro images with high resolution and sharpness. Normally you simply screw a coupler adapter ring into the filter thread of both lenses. I use two Olympus OM Zuiko (35mm film) lenses, 28mm and 50mm, both lenses are 36 years old, but stored for over 33 years in a hall closet and they are still in absolute mint condition. Both lenses come with a 49mm filter thread, but unfortunately I don't have such an coupler adapter ring, so for one time only I linked both lenses together by means of a piece of duct tape to get this photo.
The magnification factor is calculated by dividing the focal length of the normally mounted lens by the focal length of the inverted lens, for example, when an 28mm lens is inverted mounted on a 50mm lens, the reproduction ratio is almost 2:1. I used nothing but the built-in camera flash and a piece of white paper as the reflective material. Adapters to connect filter threads of 2 lenses are made by several companies, I saw one today on the internet made by Caruba.

Thanks for the explanation and the diagram it makes it easier to understand.
I do have a 60mm macro lens which can get fairly close.
 
All well taken creative images Gerard. All on theme.

What I've discovered is that I find it much more fun to tackle the themes of, for example, 5 weeks on a row than to show up every week with 1 photo around a theme, probably just my way of keeping myself interested.

You do realise you can post as many images on that weeks theme, as you like, in your own thread?
The one image relates to the home page.
 
Nice abstract feel.

And Jigsaw Hell :)
 
Your snappers choice is very striking with the post processing adding to its overall quality.
The water reflection is very abstract and well spotted.
Its ironic that despite the computer processing power nowadays that certain edits were easier in the analogue world, I suppose despite high megapixel counts its still only a simulated effect that can't be truly replicated.
 
Dusty - is dusty, not much else to say on what is a difficult subject to show.

Food - now that looks tasty,

Love this. It reminds me of Joe 90 which I expect only us oldies will remember :)

Presumably shot through the bannister railings - makes for a really interesting effect with the fisheye.
 
I like fisheye views and this shot is no exception.

On top of that, I've been looking for a lens that gives a full circular image on a crop body and I can see myself getting one of these in the not too distant future so thanks for that as well as for sharing the image!
 
Oops...

See the GAS thread!!! :P
 
That's an interesting square Gerard.
You've got the blacks just right.
What does the symbol represent - arbitration?
 
Not much square there apart from the edges, which works very well.
