Couldn't do the place justice, but Achill is gorgeous. Hadn't been there since I was a kid.

That Achill shot is class! Really nicely composed.

Cabaal just tweeted me that my post (963) was Post of the Day on boards. Never knew there was such a think 'till now. Thanks everyone, I'm flattered.

Must doodle some old pics again...

The concept that people just ' plonk' a photo here and that's it is totally wrong.

There are good photos that should be commended- and bad photos where advice to the phototaker would be of benefit.

There must be a way to organise this better?

I say thanks when I see a picture I like.
I never say thanks when the picture colours have been manipulated which sadly is all too often.

What do you mean exactly? The colours are manipulated in EVERY photograph. Sometimes the camera does the manipulation (digital), the film or the developer (the user). This kind of stuff has been discussed here a million times and it just shows a complete lack of understanding of the photographic process. Thinking about the difference between Ilford HP5 and Fuji Velvia might be a good place to start when discussing "manipulation"!

@ keps As for your point re critiques etc. This forum provides ample opportunity for that. That's why this thread was created. So that people can "dump" here and move on.

Cheers AR but its a film picture and I dont like touching them with PS

Fair enough, I should add btw I don't know how to do a picture with a burnt out sky.

Valentia · 17-06-2009 10:03pm

For all those who think that what comes out of the camera is "real" and everything else is "false" look away now!!

Thanks AR, I love the shade of green myself. I do agree the ladybird is a little intense. Presets what can you do? Mixing presets with blatant laziness is evident here. I stand at fault.

Fantastic shot! Did you use a tripod? What shutter speed?

Yes- a tripod was needed here. The camera was on manual at f22 and I went 1 then 2 'timing' stops up and 1 then 2 stops down from 'recommended' - unfortunatley I transferred all my France photos to a stand alone hard drive last month - but did something wrong and lost them- having deleted them from my PC am unable to check the exact details of exposre etc. Camera D80 with tamrom 18-200 lens @ 18mm. Thankfully I have my favourite 6 or 7 on another photo site.
