Shot of the Day
Down the Line
My shot of the day just won me first place in the print section of the open competition at Newcastleton Camera Club.
This image got me second place in the digital section.
The strange thing was, when the judge introduced herself to the audience she stated she was not a fan of HDR photography yet both my entries were HDR manipulated. The judge was very constructive in her criticism giving good advice and encouragement. She stated that if more photographers were to get more of their images printed they would get so much from them, a statement I fully agree with. New club member Irving Davidson accompanied Tootlepedal and myself to the meeting and having seen some of Irving's work we are going to have to be on our toes.
I've done very little in the way of getting out taking photos lately as I'm preparing prints and greeting cards that I'm going to attempt to sell at the Christmas craft fare in the Buccleuch Centre in November. I've also been helping Tootlepedal put a few weeks entries into the database which has been a nice change from entering photos.

If I remember correctly this is the second award for the train photo. Cropping it like that was a great idea. I find that sometimes what I consider a reject photo can be saved by some creative cropping. I like the sky in that second shot.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, the train photo has served me well.
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with commentators totally nice
Very interesting article that you’ve posted. It’s been a while since I posted in my G+ account
Very helpful you have been too.
ReplyDeleteWell deserved Sandy, photographs have been manipulated since the mid 19th century, the methods have just got more intricate.

Thanks Jim. I used to have a darkroom many years ago and half the fun was manipulating the image. The great great thing now is, no messy chemicals.
