No prejudice, but I think it's easier to lose money in Montmartre then win it $:-\$

Nope; that's the entire point of Without Prejudice.

I beg your pardon. I get muddled about the etiquette in the various threads. We can probably delete these comments.

No problem; I hate to appear despotic, but it's just that some people, myself included, don't really enjoy other people telling us what we 'should' have done, which is what 'critique' usually presupposes people are seeking.

In my own case, I did (and still do) photography for the buzz that what I do gives me; if others like it too, great, but my opinion's what, for me, it's all about. And clearly, by the number of posts this thread has had, I'm not alone in that wish for self-satisfaction/fulfilment

Obviously (I hope!) that doesn't preclude all other forms of comment, which as long as they don't get into the 'instructional' zone, are fine. Nobody has to love shots here; a mutual admiration society is boring.

I would never tell anyone what they 'should' do just what they might like to explore. When it comes down to it I don't really care two hoots what they do and do not do. But I take your point. I'm the same, I shoot what I like and if others enjoy too that's a bonus. That said I always welcome suggestions - well polite ones.

But I will of course abide by the conventions of this thread

I think Rob would allow me to say "I like it."

But if I started to say something like "Of course it might be better if you...." then I would worry about the state of my kneecaps.

It is very liberating to have a "critique-free zone" like this.

BTW Eric, I have meniscus problems (I wear knee pads when I go around to shoot). Particularly when I shoot macro, I risk to come back home by the Helicopter...(when - rarely - there is field for the cell phone). Hopefully not a Swiss helicopter, they charge you for the rescue not less than 10000 euros ...

Karma was kind to me last night: after volunteering to model for some friends, I was asked to photograph a concert: everything was laid on, the pianist was gorgeous and had been painted by one of her artist friends. All I had to do was get the exposure basically right and not shake too much...

Very nice portraits!

I also like the mood you get with those straight lines conrasting with humanity.

I like the unusual composition, Bill. Well balanced.

Thanks. It's one of those times when only a square format seemed to work, so the crop was decided before I took the photograph.

Something Hopper-esque...

(It's also a cat photo, he's asleep inside the clothes basket)

Great disposition of shapes/colour. Not as easily found as folks might think.

Colours for hanging out of windows?

Rob

Eric Myrvaagnes · « **Reply #1334 on:** February 08, 2016, 01:31:57 pm »

Yes, very nice one, Graham.

It's also the most subtle cat photo I've ever seen.

Two different views of the White Moor stone circle on Dartmoor

Complete accident. A red t-shirt, a white polypro thermal top for cycling, blue leggings for same. Back to front relative to the flag, but in the right orientation

Taken last evening, a combination of Nikon 24 F1.8G and Rokinon 14 F2.8

Fantastic sky in the first one!

This being Without Prejudice, I can't tell you how much I like that one, Rob. So I won't.
