Padge Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 If I might be so bold some serious cropping required on some of them IMHO It was a very dull and rainy day so I was shooting at a high ISO which makes the pictures noisier than normal. Tighter crops on some would exagerate the noise or would require noise reduction to be used to the extent that it softens the image.

l'angelo mysterioso Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) It was a very dull and rainy day so I was shooting at a high ISO which makes the pictures noisier than normal. Tighter crops on some would exagerate the noise or would require noise reduction to be used to the extent that it softens the image. that isn't necessarily a bad thing edit: it's the trade off between picture quality and image quality. I'd be ok with more noise and a tighter crop.

I'd be ok with more noise and a tighter crop. The noise can be used to artistic effect, I don't particularly think these pictures benefit from the extra noise induced by tighter crops, many are already cropped as I was only using a 200mm lense so I could maintain control of depth of field in poor conditions. Give me an example Chris of one that would benefit from a tighter crop and I'll look at it.

Padge Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Chris, those crops are ok, except that the image size has actually been aproximately halved, that's ok if the pictures are just for sticking on here. However my images are of a certain size and quality for technical reasons elsewhere, with that crop if the image size is increased then the quality is reduced (to unacceptable levels for me). I don't create images for this site, I create images for use elsewhere, I already create 4 versions of each image, I acan do without a fifth one for posting on here.

gingerjon Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Like that ... Anyway, only long after the deadline did I get the "my street" shot I was after Suburbia by Jon Smalldon, on Flickr Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. (Terry Pratchett) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l'angelo mysterioso Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 what I noticed from the my street comp was that nobody incdluded people in their shots. The essence of a street is the people who live in it. I'd like to have done that.

I'd like to have done that. The essence of my street is that it's mostly quiet - hence this shot taken from standing in the middle of it. Most of my 'street' photos feature people in some way. For example this recent one of Edgware Road Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

It was a lively, mostly happy, and for a pit villagee cosmopolitan place. Now it is all but dead. It felt haunted and lonely. That was what I wanted to say in the pics.

Exiled Townie Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Took this last week at the St Albans-Hemel U14's game, if I had just waited a split second longer for that look of realisation to turn to ........... Jam Eater 1.(noun. jam eeter) A Resident of Whitehaven or Workington. Offensive.
