Technically excellent photo. Great editing. Myself I'm awful when it comes to gear and stats and tech - most of my stuff is terrible in this way.

I'm wondering though, wouldn't you get much more out of this if the lighthouse was offset? Placing an object dead center is risking making it a bit obvious and not super interesting. In composition the rule of 3 usually works.

He's got that working horizontally - 1/3 Sea ve 2/3 sky.

Personally, I think the composition highlights the static solidity of the lighthouse, whereas everything else; sea, clouds and even light are ever changing.

Fair points.

On iphone, I used two apps. VSCO and Snapseed.

On a computer, all you need is lightroom. Adobe offer very generous trials.

Bit late, but thanks for the recommendations.

Using Lightroom on my computer now, so I shall dig up some tutorials on how to best utilize it. I've tried VSCO and Snapseed but it seems too "edit-y" for me? I'm most likely overusing the features.

LOKKO, some amazing photos! Really, really stunning. I wish I was as good at photography.

Will get there one day!

Editing in lightroom takes a little getting used to. All edits are non-destructive, you aren't so much editing the image as creating a profile for viewing it. So there's no "saves" , and you can always reset and start again.

You can save a lot of time by developing a routine of good habits in terms of your library. Where you import files, what keywords you add, just getting the hang of that can make life easier.

Get to know each slider in the develop module. Work your way down from the top. There are some good videos online but not as many as for photoshop.

This one's starting to turn up on posters/flyers and stuff. Let me know if you spot it in the wild!

I am not a photographer nor am I any good at using the phone to take photographs. I do enjoy looking at the pictures posted in this thread and to be
honest I think the standards are exceptionally high.

A massive wellin to all those that post pictures that they have taken themselves in this thread

6 red moons above Anfield for a 6th European cup?

These last 2 were special for me. This is the church where the final shootout happened when the Nazis got in. From the movie Anthrapoid.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised to be honest. The future is red I can see it and we could well go and do it again in Istanbul!

Not the most spectacular of photos; but it looks great as a wallpaper on my phone

Son of Spion · « **Reply #3863 on:** October 19, 2019, 05:27:24 pm »

It's probably not my best picture, but it's one of my favourites.

If you have to stand at a bus stop, there may be no better one to stand at than this one on our beach in Barbados last November. I'm just a 'point and shoot' type of photographer, but I still think it came out nice.

I've been having problems getting pictures to post on the site recently, but it's a doddle using that link.

When the image shows on there, there should be a few links underneath with various descriptions. There’s one that says something like ‘shortcut for forums’. If you just copy and paste that link in full in here that should be all you need.

You need to register on that site though and they’ll email you a password, think you have to do that before you can share anything from there.

I used that site but didn't register.

Just clicked to upload a picture from my PC, then once it was done I highlighted the link that said "hotkink to forums", copied it, then pasted it into the reply box on RAWK as it was. It worked. I was pleasantly surprised.

I'm the same mate. It takes me ages to work this kind of stuff out. If I even do so at all.

I'd go through the thing step by step with you if I was on my PC, but I'm on my phone currently.

It's part of the control by the non tree people who don't know what a star is. That is a deffogs .

So. . Just gave postimage my email and ..... fuck all .

Ok. Fuck it.

Just imagine a storm coming in across the Mersey and the photo was took halfway down Harlow Hill . A ship was sailing South between two lamposts . The mood was dark and edgy.
