Great shot... almost cinematic...

I have noticed that a lot of the Flickr users have been using the BB code provided by Flickr for posting photos rather than the multi-step process in the POTD tutorial so I decided to compare the two and see if there was a difference. Here are the results on a photo I took last Summer while on the Olympic coast here in Washington State.

IMG_1084 - Version 2 by Designer Dale, on Flickr
It may be an illusion, but the one auto processed by Flickr seems to have less pop than the one I selected myself. Both were processed through A3. The first links to my PhotoStream which shows the other photos I have taken and the overall presentation is less cluttered with no extra links. The Flickr provided link clicks back to the image page, so you don't see the PhotoStream unless you click the provided link for that. All in all, the results are more or less the same, so I guess you can just pick the look you want with your photo. When we developed the tutorial Flickr didn't provide the extra BB code for legally linking photos to outside sites like this one so we developed the work around.

Don't be concerned, my friend. What I process always looks a bit different from what the Internet shows back to me. I just think my ego won't admit that it can do the job of handling my stuff without messing it up. It did after all, breed Facebook and Twitter..^^^ Erm, your pix look exactly the same to me, DD...

Another one from my playing with light thing I did the other week. I think resizing it for the web hasn't helped it.
It' the time of year for performances of the Matthäus Passion here in the area. Conditions for photography in a church like this are, let's say, 'challenging'.

Really, really nice someoldguy! Beautiful repetition, shadows and perspective. I wonder if it would have looked even better being off centre, with the image ending at the portal on either side or with it centred and in portrait orientation.

I love the warm, golden hues you have captured, just like a beautiful old port or brandy.

There is something about these tones that just makes you want to be there!
I think it is an illusion DD. I have noticed before that when you have an image on a large screen and it's repeated vertically, that it does indeed seem to differ as it goes down the screen. If you then raise and lower yourself, you notice that there is a slight colour shift that follows you if you are at a close working distance to the monitor. Step well back and the illusion disappears. I think a lot of folks work with the monitor too close to them, especially if they are working on a large sized chunk of screen and have it on a desk that their peripherals (mouse, keyboard, tablet, etc...) are on. Even though I have a 27" iMac, it's about 4 foot away from me which is as far as I can allow for my workspace. Ideally, I'd like it another 1 or 2 foot again. I am also centred on it, well my eyes are, so I'm not looking up or down at it.
Just my observations, I may be completely wrong and I'm sure that some kind soul will be more than eager to tell me so if that's the case!
Pretty old photo, but I remember taking it very well. It was damn cold that evening, lol.

Ever have those days that you're just so happy you went out shooting? Had a very "lucky" day today. Tons of shots I really like,here's one of them.

Nice shot. Love the deep depth of field which isn't so easy to get on FF. Like it that the ambient light matches the practical lighting.
From what I have read they are looking at making money through other services they can offer such as workshops and one on one tutorials. I wouldn't be surprised if they added a trail or one hour workshop in with the price to attract people. Being a high street retailer there is no way they can compete on price with the online warehouse style retailers.
Nice shot what made you go for what I assume is the 2.35:1 crop?
Linked to Jessops, this was just some fun I had this morning for their egghead competition.

What's probably going on is something like image retention in my memory. I'm adjusting the photo in Aperture and when I see the result in Flickr my mind recalls what it saw in the A3 edit an fakes me into believing that there's a difference.
With that all set aside, what caught my attention in the first place was the fact that so many posters use the pre-packaged code provided by websites for linking photos. Just two years ago the idea of using code offered to us by Flickr would have been a cause for rebellion. Time changes everything.
