Tried a much softer treatment here (these are the in-camera JPG’s) – when looking at the RAW file output I was so tempted to tweak them and increase the contrast – but I’ve kept the camera’s settings and these are the straight out of camera JPG’s.

I’ve been experimenting with low-key images at Oak-Bank Mill pond. From Willowbank drive the dark water and opposite bank in shadow in the early morning make it ideal for trying this technique. Here are a few examples. Just set your exposure compensation (dial usually close to your righty thumb) to minus three and shoot the grey heron…

These initial photos will have been taken on a Samsung A 34 and apart from a wee bit of auto correct for light/colour/contrast and a bit of clipping, they are how I see the world in pictures.
These were taken in the Bay of Biscay, there was a flock of Seagulls dancing around the ship. The only light was from the lights at the bottom if the… Read more -

The Our Photos tab has 6 pull down options but none are ” our photos”.
Applying the same logic to Turner’s photowall, clicking on this tab there should be 2 options at the moment : the results of the last comp, and the new comp. That should avoid confusion?
