G'day,

Love the first one with the soft focus (I hope you used soft focus :oops: ) and an original furphy too!

Stubbsy,
After touring the North East Victoria region, have you find any block of pure gold? it will help you to fund the cost of the fuel for visiting the Sydney meets :lol:

Nice shot of a real life Furphy there Stubbsy... Interesting that it has some (what looks like) Arabic text on it as well... Wonder why?
Cheers, John

These are wonderful, Stubbsy...you did have a good weekend, didn't you!!

The first one is brilliant, I really like the colours and the soft focus. It gives a nice romantic feel to it! I really like the B&W tree aswell. Well done!

Nice pics Stubbsy.

Did you have a few Reds, or is that the dumbest question of all time :?

The 1st Image, Have you tried that in B&W ?

Regards,

Mic. :wink:

There's a very large twist of irony in that statement :) But only a few will understand. :wink:

Sadly no. But I've saved a little cash to buy either an SB800 or a 50mm/1.4 and have a full tank of fuel ready for next Saturday.

Well I took a few 6-10 year old bottles from my cellar to drink and spat everything I tasted (good boys don't swallow :) ) so I DIDN'T get drunk while tasting (I probably tasted about 130 wines over 2 days - you do the maths)

Mic. :wink:

You mean like this?

I have now :lol:


Mudder - yes the soft focus was intentional (used 3 different NikColor Efex filters in NC to achieve it)

Leek - I wondered about the arabic writing too, given the age of the water cart - but then maybe the writing is a furphy :lol:

Killa - yep only a few will get it

Cheers and thanks to each of you for your comments.

That first shot is very appealing, stubbsy. The others are also good, but the first should be a hanger. Very nicely done. :)

Nice photo's. But, i think the first one would have looked nice without the soft focus.

The soft focus is my pix, the others are good but this one stands out......even with soft focus have a look at it with a bit more contrast and I think it will jump at you......

Thanks all for the comments. #1 was a bit of a dilemma for me and I did a lot of work on it. Out of the camera the shot was great, but I wanted to give it a more dreamy look to go with the feel of the old cart. Did lot's of experimentation before I was happy with this. Strangely I like both the colour and the B & W version.

Personally I love #1. It's tastefully done and IMO not over-special-effected.

I actually like the second two. The frame within a frame with those beautiful wood grains, and the circle in a square, one of my favorite combos with beautiful colours.
The first one makes me want to rub my eyes to see it more clearly.

I'd be happy to stick that first picture on my wall, there's something quite dreamy about it - Great pictures all of them.

Thank you all for your kind comments. This post is interesting as it's had two disconnected bursts of activity. I guess this shows just how easy it is to miss image posts!

These are great Stubbsy. I too especially love the 1st one. I also prefer it in colour, seems a little too flat in B&W. Well done!
