Or I could do this one.

Wk 8 Ability to Slow by Peter, on Flickr

[seaodyssey]

Again it looks a bit better on Flickr. I have no filters to slow down the exposure and I had no tripod either.

 

[Fuji Dave]

#2 shot for me Pete, agree it does look a lot better on Flickr. Love how it looks like the hull of a boat going through the milky water.

Thanks Dave, that was what I saw as well.

Pete, I like shot number 2. I think I would darken it down a bit, especially top left.

 

[Cloudforest]

Really like shot 2. There's about the right amount of movement in the water for me.

 

[seaodyssey]

I have had a go at editing the second Image.
It was a struggle, I had upgraded my work desktop last week to Windows 10, so had a load of software to install and settings to sort out.
I tried using on1 PhotoRaw2020 but the quick masking tool did not want to work. I have now install adobe dng converter and used that in PSCS6 and this is the result, best I could do given that I did not have any filters to reduce the exposure and it was handhold.

No 2 for me too, and it looks better in the later versions.

Thanks Jim, I really had a struggle with the software to get the later version out.

Hi Paul, see the later post.

Hi Pete

Thanks for your comments, I have reprocessed the image to reduce the exposure for the water.

[Cobra]

Both good images Pete, but I do like the close up of the buds

 

[CliveH]

2 nice images, I prefer the second slow one, but of all I prefer the buds. Nice detail and colours.

 

[LC2]

That's pretty good for hand held. #2 for me too. The first seems a bit bright/unnatural.

 

[rpn]

That's a cracker of a shot and editing. You've done an excellent job hand-held and still able to capture the blurry water with just enough texture too.

 

[rick448]

Nice close up, good DOF and sharpness where it matters.

for this week I have

MK famous for concrete cows, roundabouts and "banks" of Daffs.


Nice PoV and colourful Pete.

 

[Shugpug]

Great colours on this - the yellow really pops against the blue sky.

 

[DowntonMini]

Ability no 2 for me nicely done without filters

Winter - Lovely image great PoV

 

[Fuji Dave]

Loving the beautiful Daf shot Pete, they really are a lovely flower to photograph.

 

[HelenC]

Very pristine daffs... always so cheering.

 

[mdpF2]

Hi Chris, Yes, they are everywhere, but nice and colourful.

Great colours on this - the yellow really pops against the blue sky.

Thanks Shugpug, the sun was shinning nicely.

Thanks Helen, you are right, but a bit early for Mothers Day this year.

Nice colourful daffs and good to see some background too.

Thanks for your comments Mark

[CliveH]

Lovely dafs, very nice colours too.

 

[Daysleeper40]

I like the low pov on the Daffs

 

[Minx]

Broken - I too like the abstractness of the second, but I quite like the first too
Ability - both good shots the second just pips it to the post for me.
Winter - I like the low Pov very vibrant

 

[LC2]

Winter sun, but daffs say spring to me more than winter.
Lovely vibrant capture though.

Hi Tim

It says "End of Winter" using poetic license on the theme

 

[brrnd]

The daffs are out! Not very wintery, but great PoV and vibrant colours!

 

[seaodyssey]

Lovely dafs, very nice colours too.

For Week10 Depict a Book I have a tentative entry which I believe to be High Key as well.

Wk10 Book and Technique High Key copy1 by Peter, on Flickr

The book is Wind in the Willows, just to let you know. Maybe I will do a better one later on.

Pete

 

[DowntonMini]

Clever take on the theme works for the technical too

 

[Baloo]

Excellent high key shot Pete, good interpretation of the book.

 

[Scots_quine]

Got that one! Looking good. And def high key to me as well.

 

[Cobra]

Yep I'd sat high key too, white background minimal shadows / darks
Good idea for a book too

BTW Pete forgot the link did we?
Mod dunnit

 

[LC2]

Works for High Key for me
I'd googled and found "the hidden life of trees", Wind in the Willow's did not even cross my mind

 

[vanishedbob]

Bang on theme and technique too. It really works.

Thank you for sorting, I'm surprised the post was not on several times to be honest.
