I'm cheating for my last one of the year as I took it the other day, but forgot because it was on my phone. Looks like the doorway to an enchanted house.

Right as the author of this thread I was struggling to think of a way to sign it off. I've not been well the last couple of days and the light has been crap to do anything outside.
So a few things to say. YAY WE DONE IT Thanks to Brettus for sowing the seed in my mind to start this thread Thanks to everyone who contributed, didn't matter what or how good it was just the contribution was enough, I've only had to rescue it a few times. For me it has been a welcome distraction in an annus horriblus, just making sure something ha been posted has helped me personally. As my Mum & Dad were both professional photographers I do have a good idea of what constitutes a good photo, there's been some absolute stunners. So all that remains I think is my final photo of 2013 ![]()

For some reason I can only attribute to stupidity I didn't realise today was the last day of this thread. (It might have something to do with the ego swelling compliments posted earlier today
![]() Late notice but I managed to do something that I'd been wanting to do again. ![]() Farewell 2013 by iBrettnet, on Flickr I'm still rubbish at writing backwards (it took 18 goes to get one I was happy with) Thanks Maviczap for keeping the thread going and looking forward to what you have in store for next year ![]()

mister c's lovely shot of water movement around the rocks ( camera braced on wall or maybe just a slowish hand held shutter speed perhaps?) is a case in point. 'Movement' as a theme will often get students' shutters clicking in all sorts of creative ways ( moving pedestrians all blurry against a sharp background can be soooo rewarding Low light, still-life, reflections, faces, texture, selective focus (eg: line of railings at wide aperture) low viewpoint etc are just some examples of 'enthusiasm starters' The picture you are hoping for may not be there for everyone to see - but your photographic intuition can guide you to finding a great shot when others see an ordinary one. Imagine you have one of the world's greatest photographers along side you - he will be looking at exactly the same scene as you - it's what is in your mind that differs. Having a camera that focuses well is useful - having a mind that focuses better is probably more useful. In the 60's my father was commissioned to photograph a London bus. He stood in Piccadilly Circus and all he could see were buses against a familiar background - he needed something different. Then suddenly as he turned away he saw a highly reflective glass building. He positioned the tripod and waited - the resulting image of a Routemaster reflected in modern architecture accompanied by traditional Eros was used on hoardings across the Capital. Next time you stand in front of a lovely scene, just reflect on the number of ways, viewpoints etc in which it can be depicted - it can be quite a few! Sometimes the photograph is within rather than without. Close-ups indoors can be worthy subjects - recently these cotton wool buds interested me by their arrangement and Photoshop gave me a bit of fun with which to manipulate the raw image: ![]() Last edited by GowerSV; 31-12-13 at 09:12 PM. |

I've really enjoyed this thread too. A lot of the pics I've posted haven't been technically brilliant, and no post production, often taken on my phone or my G15 but the fun was just trying to remember to take a pic each day. It shows what a variety of stuff we get up to. Mine has included everything from Maasai Warriors and monks to Andrew Strauss having wax squirted in his ears to atmospheric sunsets and fun times with my best mate Chris8886. I'm off to on another biking trip shortly do should be some good photos from that to come.
