Title: ‘Wings of Fire’’
5DMk4, Tamron 70-200mm with x1.4 Converter, 1/1600 sec at F3.5, ISO 500
Conventional wisdom, when shooting Birds in Flight at sunset is to keep the sun at your back. But sometimes it pays to break the rules. I shot this straight into the setting sun hoping for a few golden highlights under the wings. Initial post proce…Read More3 Comments -

Title: ‘Sunrise at Scottburgh’ (Re-submission)
5DMk4, Tamron 18-55mm, 1/100 sec at F6.3, ISO 1000
I think the interesting cloud formation added significantly to this image. No, it’s not AI!

Title: ‘Driftwood’
5DMk4, Tamron 18-55mm, 1/160 sec at F4.3, ISO 1000
Not a particularly dramatic image out of camera, so I decided to really push the post processing and I quite like the result. Love to hear thoughts and comments.

John, your photo is outstanding and certainly merits a weekly award. To elevate it further, consider increasing the contrast in the sky to add more drama and depth. Additionally, the watermark in the bottom left stands out significantly due to its stark contrast against the darker background, inadvertently drawing attention…Read More

Title: ‘Happy Hour’
5DMk4, Tamron 150-600mm, 1/1000 sec at F5.6, ISO 100
This was taken in the early morning into a rising sun. I needed to retain enough data in the shadows to give a bit of detail hence the high shutter speed. I had taken a number of fairly boring shots when the bull decided he would come to the party and complete the c…Read More6 Comments-

Title: ‘Dawn on the Beach’
5DMk4, Tamron 18-55mm, 1/60 sec at F5, ISO 250
A shot I took a year ago but felt The Adamsky Effect would work quite well so I did a re-edit and I like it.

The Kandinsky method can easily be overdone, but John, you’ve nailed it with your execution. The balance between blur and sharpness is spot-on, making me take a second look to realize you’ve employed this technique. Had you not mentioned it, I would’ve been compelled to ask. This is a superb fusion of surrealism and realism,…Read More

Congratulations on your feature, John! While this image falls under our wildlife photography category, it would be ideally suited for the Macro Photography Group due to its close-up nature. Consider sharing it there as well!

Thanks Danie .Appreciate it! I did tag it #macrophotography. Is that not sufficient for it to appear in the Macro group or must I post it there as well?

John, your subject is blending into the brick wall background. This is a common issue, especially with red/orange-toned bricks that closely match the tone of Caucasian skin. Additionally, the texture of the bricks makes it hard to distinguish the subject. To improve, consider moving your subject away from the backdrop or using a…Read More
