#WildlifeComp2023 #birdphotography
I shot this hungry little Cape White-Eye and its hard-working parents in my garden a week ago. The baby was quite tame and didn’t mind me following them around the garden with my big lens. It wasn’t quite mobile yet, although it could fly short distances and up into the shrubs, and spent…Read More

Perfect capture Rosalie🤩 Brilliant exposure, both eyes sharp with catchlight, wonderful story for huge impact and motion blur in the wings for movement👏👏 Congratulations!

This is another of of my Joburg #StreetPhotography shots #Monochrome #BNWPhotography
kinda the type of image that I’m drawn too…..think this may even be my own reflection in the centre.
Joburg city. one camera and one lens…which is the way I usually go out. Always a prime like a 35mm or a 50mm mainly.

I like the combination of street and architecture photography. Combining a blend of human elements and structural design is always succesful when executed intelligently. Congratulations on your featuer as well!

Hi Len, what f/stop did you use to capture this image?
-
![Profile picture of Len Porter]()
F5,6 ISO400 at 195mm. 1/250sec. Light was bad but I had also got lazy as it was late in the day and let myself down.

Thank you, Len. The problem you were having here involves your 160-600mm lens. Follow our weekly discussion about the Pros and Cons of long telephoto lenses.

Photographers Caught Cheating – Some go to great lengths for prizes and fame, even faking their shots, while others get penalized for simple retouching.

While I agree that news photographers must adhere to strict guidelines, I believe removing minor distractions like litter in a National Geographic image is harmless. However, competition rules are clear, and entrants must comply to avoid disqualification.

Yeah, I also didn’t think the cloning was bad, I would have done the same 🙂 I guess what I learnt is that it’s really important to read the rules, even if I think something would be allowed
The AI generated photos were ridiculous though.

I will only comment on the Wildlife images👍 To track wild animals in National Parks or game reserves they are usually identified by battle scars or unique markings. As a general rule all wildlife photographers are aware that no manipulation is allowed.

Long exposure on Ilford FP4 to create this 6×6 negative using a Mamiya C220 TLR camera.
Film suffers from Reciprocity failure. Reciprocity failure is what happens when, at longer exposures (generally shutter speeds of 1 second or more), the law of reciprocity (you guessed it!) fails!
A film’s emulsion is made up of a layer of silver halide c…Read More

This image is lit using two light sources. The couple is lit with a continuous light, boomed just above them. The window is lit using a flash from outside the window shooting back into the couple.

Thanks for sharing, Landie. We love the gorgeous lighting and nuanced contrasts! This isn’t the Photo Critique Group, but we’re curious: why did you set the aperture to f/29? At f/11 or f/16, for instance, the picture would have remained tack-sharp and allowed for a lower ISO. This would have provided better quality, especially if you plan to…Read More

To be honest – it was a panic choice. As we arrived at Mapungubwe, my wildlife lens decided it is no longer focussing automatically. So I had to manually focus and it just made me photo-panic…. A good lesson to check equipment before trips.

Just a heads-up, we noticed that you are posting your images in both the Wildlife Group and on your Profile. The good news is that there’s no need to post your images in both places. Simply post in the Group, and it will automatically appear on your Profile.
