Missed the last few pages...been busy these few days


Just a quick one...

Smelly, I think that saturated colour is fine, at least the skin tone looks good to me.

What do you guys think of this portrait's background? Is it too distracting? General rule to avoid such for portrait?

I think this portrait is fine. The background is not that distracting but rather i think it's a good composition. Sometimes, it's interesting to see both the subject and it's surrounding to have a more story-telling effect

I think only that bright little spot in front of her tummy is a bit distracting...

BTW, that Contax guy uses Contax as his SLR and 2 Leica M6s as his everyday rangefinder.

But he's thinking of getting a 350D...the right move!!

Thanks. Still sorta feel that it's a bit too saturated.... I'll leave it as it is for now anyway.


I'm beginning to like the saturated and contrasty look as well... once used to.. it's hard to go back to the unprocessed images..

I still sorta don't understand the whole saturated look when DSLR come out flat and dreary. Why not just make them slightly contrasty and saturated in the first place?

Your weekends are so busy mate! I don't think there's many takers so this one might fall to the keeper.

to this

This is only with 4 goes with it. I guess you can see there are 2 or so stubborn dots but I'll live.

Btw, that is not a scratch mark on the right side.

Not the best pic to test it at 6pm indoors.

I thought Sensidyne paste would have been better than colgate for this more sensitive job

The weather have been depressing lately. Maybe these would help to bring some brighter mood back.

Church point.
April, late afternoon. Both at 16mm f/13 with a circular polariser.

Richard, I don't know if you have the CP turned the right way around. The sky looks a bit off with the dark areas and then light. It's been a while since I've used one....

Hey Richard

I like both very much. The only thing is that the rocks in the first pic are a bit overexposed... With the CPL effect in the sky, it's not that bad. If the sun is lower in the sky, you got to watch out. These two are fine for me, I like the clouds. Thanks for posting...now, the mood is back

Check out this one, the War Memorial in Canberra

Taken with Fujichrome Velvia 100F, believe it or not, this is the real colour coming out of the slide without any post manipulation

EOS30 + 28-135...forgot the setting, must be around f11-16, 1s

That red is good! quite a weird colour though. The Rose Bay one.. hmm.. looks like a 100% crop... I hope it's not. A 75-300 can't that BAD can it??
