    I asked my daughter to try to stand still for 10 seconds for a long exposure shot. This is her best effort. I had no flash so added a little light with my mobile torch. Phuket, Thailand.

    Statuesque.jpg

    Nice shot but I feel like the bright light in the lower right corner attracts too much attention from the main beauty in the upper left.

    B..bb..but there's absolutely nothing happening in the upper left...

    My mistake. Center left if more correct. The lights and hills that she is looking at.

    Maybe just light paint her with a flashlight and not have the beam of light coming in from the right.

    That's what I did - I used the light from my mobile.
    I have to say I think the image needs her to be slightly illuminated, I have plenty where she wasn't (they don't work) and only at the end hit upon the idea of adding a touch of light.

    wormsmeat daughter.jpg

    O.K., I'm seeing that now. Then just burn down this area in post so the light points towards what she is looking at without having a bright beam of light leading away from her (your foreground object of interest).

    Just my opinion, of course, but I wish there were more of these types of discussions in this forum. I'm enjoying the back-and-forth on Fireplace33's hairpin bus photo, as well.

    Quoted message:

    For me, the colours are a large part of what make this shot so attractive. The patch of pale turquoise water at bottom right, together with the apricot and violet colours in the sky make a colour triad that really sings. Lose that turquoise (or darken it) and you risk losing this effect.

    I'll go along with that :-)
    ... the elegant young lady here in this photo might have been enjoying a party in a beach house, and has perhaps just stepped outside for a few minutes to enjoy the sunset view. She is still lit by the lights from that that beach house. The bright part is explained and the image works for me too ;-)
    We know, from Wormsmeat's description of how of how the photo was made, that's not really the case, but for an innocent viewer of the photo, it could be

    Actually, the mobile only lit her. I like it too. The bright area was indeed caused by a beach floodlight or something. Here's a screenshot of an unedited version with no mobile torch used (and with tripod shadow still included).

    7. Outreach

    As previously mentioned, the promised mist was a no show, what were looking at here in the distance is the floor of the valley as it rises up the other side, giving the impression of a misty background.

    DSCF5330.jpg

    10. Less Colourful Chaos

    This is similar to a shot I posted last week, but the trees are looking an awful lot more sparse now.

    DSCF5343.jpg

    These are my picks. I rather like the violet shades coming through from the sky, especially in the last one, easily making up for the loss of yellow leaves.

    Exactly my choices . The rest is absolutely fabulous as well.

    Another week another Rock show 😄

    This time it was new release presentation by band called Itk (can be translated as cry or wail). As warm up there were 2 other bands, which were OK, hard rock and metal.
    BUT then main performer came and everything else paled in comparison. It was probably best show I've seen for a while. Their music is described as pagan metal but the sounds lead singer does... and performance... I have no words, I'll let images speak instead.

    Jeez Vahur, I'm very eclectic in my musical taste but you're on your own here :-)
    Really good pictures though.

    Wild, wild music and concert. Pagan metal music!? Great shots though and great effort on your part. Well done.

    The dark area behind the guy on the left is a bit of a nuisance, makes him look as if he has long hair.

    This series has a touch of Francis Bacon about it.

    Well spotted. I think I might crop down to but not including, the silver bar at the bottom. Would make it a little more abstract.

    Agree with everyone else - such a wonderful capture and well chosen spot! Really well done! It's also great seeing the familiar buses and environment... had to ride through streets like that for an extended amount of time during unpopular 'Schienenersatzverkehr'... 😅

    @Woodsider79 has written:

    PB160448.jpg

    This one is fantastic - a really unique and interesting look. I guess it's a double exposure with different focusing? Great idea for this scene and very well done.

    Love the colors and light here. A great example that it's not necessary to always have a single subject capturing our attention... this one works perfectly as it is for me!

    I love how in this shot the branches and their shapes are so powerful that I'm almost viewing it more as an abstract image, than a landscape. I think there would also be great opportunities in this one to try different (more experimental) edits, but it's a very nice shot as it is.

    Both of these are excellent. The second immediately had me in the mountains 😁

    Clue me in on the thinking as my only knowledge of the man was false, and I don't think you're talking about a pet miniature pig with the perfect name.
