New photo forum

[Tony]

There's been requests for a while and after the latest conversation it seems that the time is right for a photography forum.

I'm looking forward to seeing more pics and learning more about photography

Away you go

Great stuff Tony.

Is there any chance of getting the gallery fixed to go with it?

 

[jojo]

That's great Tony! That may give the kick I need to remember to take the camera more when I go out.

Are we having a sticky to explain the rules ? Are there any rules ?

Do the images have to be bushcraft related or is it general nature/outdoors stuff ?

 

[British Red]

Excellent - thanks Tony!

 

[Pignut]

Stu.

How about cropping the top third of the picture off?

It's not really doing much and the end result will concentrate the eye on the areas with bags of colour.

Take a piece of paper and try it on the screen for yourself.

Beautiful shot, nice vibrant colours. I think I would clone out the two bright dots in the bottom centre though, because they do tend to draw the eye to them.

An idea for a new forum rule.

I just realised that 2 out of the first 6 threads are equipment-related, (as was one of my first posts ).

We should try to make an effort to concentrate on photos and photo technique as relevant to bushcraft rather than getting bogged down in what lens/camera is best.

There are PLENTY of sites for camera gear chatter, this one could be a bit different.

I kind of disagree Shep

My first post was also equipment related but that`s only because I`m a photo novice and I`m trying to get the best kit together for some bushcraft piccies.

Fair enough we don`t want loads of techy posts but if they`re relevant to what we`re trying achieve I see no harm in the odd one now and then.

Thanks guys, my new desktop picture looks much better. As well as the 2 street lights I also cloned out the white signpost and the car roof I hadn't even seen.

I've been trying to learn techniques to take better photos and what all the things are for on the camera, but I've have realised that the post photo skills also need honing.

Cheers
