Cheers frostypaw.

Haven't done much B&W - just the rare photo when I couldn't get the white balance anywhere near.

Appreciate the criticism - I do tend to over-sharpen, but put that down to my old eyes and an average monitor. I don't often use dodge or burn techniques as such, but do tweak the exposure if I think it's necessary. Again, probably a combination of my eyes & monitor if I've overdone it.

:)

edit: typo

I reckon you'd love B&W work, just from the style you shoot. I'd swear blind you used to be a B&W slide film only person from how you process them! That's why I didn't really want it to seem like a criticism, nowt wrong in loving texture.

If you do love your photos it's well worth going through the rigmarole of all the the colour/monitor set up options you can find on your computer - but if you're using Photoshop ensure you've selected "Monitor RGB" rather than all the normal profiles as they're only intended for print and look drastically different to normal computer viewing. It kinda alarms me how oddly most people set up their monitors. I spent some time doing hardcore image processing as part of my work and the difference between reallife-accurate to comfortable-computer-use to how-most-people-play-games is HUGE

I find most folk adjust their photos to how-people-play-games, and it all comes out flat and without texture. Lacking in depth!

Cheers. I have my monitor calibrated using a Spyder 3. But as it's an old and average monitor its brightness is variable. So colours should be about right, but exposure can be tricky. Time for a replacement when I save up.

I don't use photoshop, just Nikon's Capture NX2. More of a photo development toolkit than post-processing. I always convert RGB colour space before sticking on the web.

I think this is my favourite from this year. Very personal, just our little boy enjoying the Peace Garden. I admit I was concerned he might be overwhelmed by all that was going on, but he spent almost every waking moment with a big smile on his face, just like this!

...

Excellent! You can tell he's going to grow up okay as he's already getting his Glastonbury exprience.

Love the second to last pic JGP. What was the weather like that year? Looks warm but I notice a few folk with muddy boots on.

Cheers, I remember it being pretty warm at times, bit of drizzle here and there but pretty decent overall

It takes very little rain for some bits of the site to get muddy. This airways seems to escape city folk - conditions vary across site which is why folk keep recommending good walking boots

Yeah the mud seemed to appear instantaneously on the Thursday last year as soon as it started raining, kinda glad it did as it meant there was little dust over the next few days. Anyone who doesn't take some kind of waterproof footwear is asking for trouble frankly.

    • Some are definitely already there with that and with another round of inflation looking like it's on the way, it certainly locks that in. And I say that as someone who also isn't willing to break the £100 marker. 
    • A lot of people have said this online but does the Marvel world need new cities to play with? New York seems to be a target of all the villains to the point where you wonder why anyone in that world still lives there. Much as you can accuse me of overthinking it I guess haha.    I do agree that The Void is a compellingly different villain in many respects given the superpower is trapping people in their most traumatic memories. Shame in some respects the film came out in the post-Endgame funk Marvel seems stuck in and a lot of people missed out on it.    Speaking of, I rewatched Infinity War the other day. First time I think I've seen it since seeing it in the cinema on its opening day. Holds up pretty well imo - I have issues sometimes with ensemble casts and jumping between 4/5 storylines but it felt this one got the balance right and also properly explored Thanos. So it was good. 
    • I didn't think I'd ever watched a Coben adaptation or read one of the original books, though turns out I did - I watched one called The Stranger back in 2020. Clearly didn't stick long in my memory as until researching it, I didn't know that was one of his. Queens Gambit or Black Mirror, it was not.    But clearly it's popular tripe in some respect if Netflix is going yes to everything he has to offer and are apparently about to start trying his most popular individual character, as seen below:   https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2026/jul/30/how-harlan-coben-became-the-king-of-potboiler-tv   Plus hey. Sometimes people get a kick from watching something and deriding it as crap. Don't let this internet rando stop you haha
