Pay it forward - Pick and Post... aka - the feel good thread.

humberklog

Subject has oodles of nacky detail to intrigue and amuse. The positioning of the camera is perfect to capture it and the exposure and other technical qualities of the shooting ooze sleek but casual profesionalism. A bit like Kyle himself:pac:.


Be warned: I use my pixie site to throw everything on with zero consideration of quality.

Slidinginfinity

I know you have posted this one before but I love it.

a. Because I currently don't have the cajones to take these kind of shots.
b. I love the color saturation
c. depth of focus is brilliant. Just enough blur on her hand to highlight her face and not so much that you don't know her gesture.

DeVore

I'm a Dub at heart and this speaks a lot to my roots. The picture is evocative and the focusing gives a great feeling of depth. The lighting is good for the sculpture's mood too. I cant say much technically cos I'm a beginner really, but I was drawn to this photo and I liked it a lot.

My pick from Devore's Set, liking the bleached out colour

I really like the lines and perspective in this; it has a bit of a steam punk
feel to it with the old style brick building and then the steel and glass.

KarmaGarda

Love it! Very well captured. For anyone who looks at Burnts photostream also look out for the Gherkin photo... very interesting story behind it.

Anyway, I'm moving over to pix.ie so I'm now HERE

I must change my signature...

Love this shot KarmaGarda:

:pac: Seems to be a popular one alright!

I like this one by cian1500ww the blur in the foreground is quite catching on the eye and draws you into the car which stands out against the background blur. Nice image overall.

Liked this shot when it was in the exhibition. It's a really nice abstract. You are not sure what the scale is, it could be a Macro or a much larger scale. Lovely texture, pattern & lighting.

There was a tinted bus window involved too

mostar is kind of scary don't plan on staying over night there.

God no Mostar is a wonderful town... the bridge divers are amazing to watch... take a trip up to Sarajevo and if u have the chance go further north into Banja Luka and across to Srebnicia... but be prepared its a very grey place even when the sun is shining its grey....

Thanks Karma; it wasn't a whole lot off fun at the time, but, it makes a good story now.

sorry burnt and derokid, i cant see a flicker/pix.ie link so on to cabinsail.




This one is just eerily beautiful...............




my stuff cant compare :>

pullandbang

This shot of the gull stands out. It has great colour and good dof. You can almost hear him squawking.

I quite like the image above from pullandbang's pixe.ie page. It's simple but elegant, it kinda has an album cover look to it.

I don't know what it is either! But I really do like it. Very delicate.

I can just imagine. There's been a bit of a stop to that now, because they realised that it was a bit rediculous. There's still the odd moron about throwing his "authority" about though. I have a story of my own about that but not near as good as yours!

squareballoon

I love this one! God, it makes me want to be there. Were you in another boat? The light that hits the rower is beautiful

Here's my other Flickr page that I logged out of and couldn't remember my password to get back in :rolleyes: It's less 'one track' than my other.

dudara

iain.n, I can't seem to extract the properties for the image, in order to post it directly, so here's the URL

I really like the angle of the shot. Very unique.

KarmaGarda

I'm jumping in again for a reason: Think I confused things with my post in the middle, and Squarebaloon got left out! I think square should have been complimenting one of Zarabas photos. So I'll take this opportunity to compliment one of his before moving on to Dudaras.

Squarebaloon: Absolultely love this.



Love the angle. And the PP is excellent.


Dudara: Love this one



I can't put my finger on why, it's just exceptional. Love how you captured the mist in the scene.

Apologies about causing the mix up there. Here's my Pix, but feel free to skip me because of the confusion I caused!

dudara

I know! I refreshed the page and all before posting my reply to make sure that no one got in there before me... and still...

I've notice this on flickr over the last week or so. I think it's something to do with the latest update to tag photos. But I use google chrome so I just right click, inspect element and subtract the url from the source.

Doing this also allows you to subtract a url from images covered with the 'spaceball.gif' image.

AnCatDubh

I think this one is great from KarmaGarda;



It goes to prove that a great photograph is far more than just keeping everything in focus & tack sharp. This is the kind of occasion whether intended or just a happy accident that it actually works. The other aspects which you may normally avoid is the shadow however here, imho, the shadow is a compositional element - again, whether intended or not, it works. The muted tones are soft (just like the focus). Overall this works for me.

Nice one.

Back to me - pix.ie is over here

shrapnel222

loving this one. i thought it was a painting till i went in it. some stunning shots all round, and although this was on the first page, it's the one i came back to the most. plus it's topical innit :-)

Atomic Pineapple

This is an absolutely stunning photograph!

Love how the sunset is captured as its devoured by the clouds, great great picture



God help who has to go through mine

Brndn

I like this one from Draffodx, I always like high contrast in a black and white photo. Almost looks like film.

Me

xia

I decided for this one from Brndn.




(Needs to be seen in large => click picture)

Apart from beeing a seven shot panorama I like the lines here. The wall going down and at the lowest point you have the top of the hill. And the sky and sunrays add to it.

My flickr

kensutz

I pick this one, something different and daring

Simplicius

this is a fantastic sporting capture, the colours are perfect, the energy palpable

Buzz Lightyear

I love this one from Xia



Its very well spotted and shot. The uneven number of pink ribbons in immediate view work very well in composition. I also love the look on yer mans face in the background as he seemingly admires the 'fillies'.

Well done Xia

rahtkennades

I love this one by Buzz:


I love the pure symmetry of it, with the Poolbeg chimneys just slightly offset. And the processing is really nice too. Well done!

Sorry, for the poor of bandwidth: http://pix.ie/desegan

Thanks Buzz:)

But actually Simplicius would have been the next photostream...Maybe whoever looks next looks and both his and rahtkennades streams?

Jemmy

Really like this one from Rahtkennades, purely because the place looks so peaceful it reminds me of New Zealand.

http://pix.ie/desegan/914113/size/500/in/album/339557



And this one from Simplicius, I really like the shadows.

I never replied to this square! Sorry about that. I spotted the shot while taking one of the boats into the cave. I waited for the place to empty before taking my shot and caught him having a smoke break.

For the record, it was intended at the time I was reading about purposely breaking rules and that one interested me.

baby and crumble

this photo is just so... calming, or something. PLus I love the sense of movement, and I'm also a sucker for B7W landscapes. All in all, :D:D!

http://pix.ie/zoegh

Mr. Grieves

This. Because I'm a sucker for square format and for rule-of-thirds composition. I also think the toning suits the image very well, and like the way the texture of the sea blends into the texture of the sky with the island standing out in sharp contrast.

Jaysus Grieves thats one hell of a wonderful collection of shots you have. Well worth a look everyone some gems in there. This is the one I settled on.

Pigwidgeon

Love this one Gandalf. The colours are lovely in it.



my flickr

Simplicius

There are so many things I like about this. It's B&W and the composition is very strong, it has the classic lonely feel of deserted places often seen in albums of Americana. The depth of field is perfect for the composition and the light and shadow lift the whole subject.

shrapnel222

loving this one. really original and gorgeous b&w. the smoke really looks like it's coming out of her hair

the pic is so innocent, framing is excellent and the colours are from this time of year so very appropriate again!

I had to get a chance to pick one of Longshanks. I love the one above due to the motion of the wheel and the stillness of the water. Excellent stuff.

@Shrapnel222: you are going to have to help my befuddled mind here.. what do you mean by image tags? if you mean the digital exif data that is tagged to pictures by digital cameras then there is a simple explanation this is a scan of a darkroom print taken with a film camera.

If it ain't this, please let me know in what you mean ..

sorry simplicius, that was a note for the mods/techies around here telling them i couldn't inbed your photo in my post. Ancatdubh duly obliged and sorted it out for me

Simplicius

This is the one that jumped out at me the shadow detail is superb, strong classical composition and the best part ( for me) the figures almost seem 3d such is the edge difference between their exposure and the surroundings... nice work

Ballyman

I like this one, nice and simple.

DaireQuinlan

This one ...
I love it, I think I commented on it at the time aswell. Completely otherworldly.
