Paul,

Many thanks for organising the workshop and the good weather!

I thought it a great venue for a one day workshop and would certainly return if the opportunity arose.

Nice to meet you all.

Regards

Barry

Lynne,

If you've a free account with somebody like Photobucket then they can host them so you can put them on the web.

There's a thread in general discussion about sites that will "hold" your pictures so they can be seen.

If you want, I'll send you a PM with my email address so you can send me a picture. I'll put it onto my account in photobucket and then post it up here to show you how it works.

Hello Lynne,
Specially, you can PM them to me or email them to the webmaster address so I can put them onto the LF website. Then you can refer to the file location in the forum postings, by typing [ Img ] (without the spaces), copy in the URL of the photograph (internet locator), then type [/ Img ] (without the spaces). Above the dialog box where you type, there is a button marked Img which serves that same purpose. Rolling the mouse over that button will show you the correct syntax.
Photographs should be 260 by 340 pixels, ish, in jpg format. Thanks.
I hope that helps. Others here will explain it far better, I have no doubt.
Charles

As she's scared of Th'interweb, I'll post some of Lynne's pics for her:

Thanks Tim! What a treasure :roll:

I'd like to know what I did to get the slight twist in the view of the arches in the first image. I could have sworn everything was square to start with: front fall, front swing, plus a little rear shift.

Hi Lynne, it looks like you have a slight bit of back tilt in that shot. If it helps, I would not have put any tilt on either front or back, relying only on swing to place the plane of focus down the line of the wall.

Thanks Jo, I didn't use any tilt, but I guess the base of the camera was not perfectly level in the front-to-back plane, which would have had the same effect.

Hello Lynne,

Nice images. I particularly like the steps, they glow nicely. I tried this image but from a slightly different angle. I have not processed mine yet but I think you chose the better view.

Regards

Barry

I like your pics, Lynne. Would you like me to create a page for you and your pics on the lf-photo website?
If we have enough pics from Woodchester, I'll create a dedicated Woodchester outing page. I look forward to seeing your pics.

I have printed a few images from the workshop but I don't have access to a scanner at present. I'll post when I can.

Charles,

On your external image, did you use an ND grad or is it unfiltered? It's a similar colouration of the sky to the one Joanna and I got in Glencoe.

Was the fireplace one taken on Astia as it has very muted colours? I'd like to see that one done in B&W and probably a sympathetic sepia or copper/red toning - nothing too strident or 'loud.' The copper/red in wet processing gives and antique brown without looking like a false sepia has been applied that has the effect of a badly done ginger wig :wink:
