Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / UK Photography / August 2008Hello!
I don't seem to have seen a post here for over a week. Just wondered if it's been dropped by my news server! Hope you've all been out taking photos!

Perhaps everyone else has been busted. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/08/23/camera_analysis/ Adam Funk <a24061@ducksburg.com> observed >> I don't seem to have seen a post here for over a week.

(I've been suffering from that, too - it's my type of photography, been doing it for 50 years!)

Crap weather, Olympics on the >telly ... Thanks for replying... Indeed - I've been nipping out between events! The next Olympics will have a photo event. The award will be given to the person who produces the best (unedited) portfolio within a ten minute time scale. Penalty points of one photo per ten seconds over the time. Score will be on the basis of variety, technical and artistic excellence. We did this (almost) recently at my photo soc. - 90 minutes to go and comeback with four shots on a memory card. Some of mine on Flickr.

Just had a quick look at the first couple of pages - from the RPS shots I like "High rise". "Outside in" is really rather good too.

Actually, I only put one of my four on Flickr (the one of the couple), what I'd forgotten is that no trimming or processing was allowed. So I'd made the mistake of leaving all the camera settings to 'low' (ready for post processing) whereas I ought to have increased contrast, sharpness and saturation to make punchier shots! So 'High rise' was awful until I'd trimmed and pp-ed it. 'Outside-in' is an example of *always* take the shot, even if you think it won't work - because sometimes it does! (It's taking me years of digital to break the habit of a lifetime of film!)
