May Photo Challenge - Discussion

A very good new selection of photo's. I love the frog.
I do not like the new way of using PB, though I guess I'll get used to it, in time.

[Abernovo]

Thanks, Tiffany. There were other frogs there as well, but they all scarpered. Only that little green fella brazened it out.

All the other photos are excellent. It's a good topic, Talysia.

still deciding how much I want to tweak (crop and resize are as fancy as I get so far but its been such fun I lost 3 hrs doing it) the others I took before deciding on which of them to post.

ps why is Microsoft Photo Editor and Picture Viewer so limited on what it can do? I have to look at my picts in Paint because MS wont show them and my Paint doesnt have a zoom out, only a zoom in. *grr face*

Why? MS Photo Editor and Pic Viewer are so limited? Follow the money, my dear. They want you to buy software. When M$ makes a mistake it becomes a "feature."

Don't make a *grr face*, Hope. I liked your blue flower.

One photo in. One to go.

Good photos All !!
I especially like ….. no, too soon to tell J
But Son of Dave’s pic is EXQUISITE.
Glad Dave didn’t read line 2 in the Standard Rules of Talysia – then we would never have seen it J
The captions do not explicitely mention with which camera the pics are taken – but I should really like to know, rookie photographer as I am.
Is that too much to ask ??

Mmm... naughty.

Sony A390K.

I'm wishing I posted a different photo now. I've got one which is way more dramatic, but it's taken with my mobile phone so the quality's not as good. Pah.

[hopewrites]

Oh I'm not grr-face-ing the picts I took, just my stingyness in quality photoshoping programs. Found some editing tools on my g+ photoalbum so now my only problem is picking only one more that I like.

[anivid]

Don’t change no. 5, Mouse – it’s sheer harmony J
That’s an odd thing here at the Chrons – impossible to delete a post when first it’s, hmm . . posted.
The foreign language line, is that Mouse exploiding in her mailbox throughout the astrological year ??
- oh, no it’s windings – got it J
Yeah, yeah – going back searching water pics from my files J

I'm the same - it's taking me a while to get used to photobucket's new editing features, too.

We're only a week into the competition, and all of the entries so far are potential winners to me. Every one has something that appeals to me in some way. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next!

Oh, and my camera is a Nikon Coolpix 4300.

We'll get used to it, if it kills us, Talysia.


My camera is a Panasonic Lumix TZ9
After I bought it, they brought out an even better model. Typically!

Wonderful, lovely pics everyone. But I have to say - Stormfeather - that is a stunning, stunning shot.

[Talysia]

Wow, TP - your Wai-O-Tapu pic is beautiful!

Posted my second picture. Rutland Water is one of my favourite places to visit (although I've never been inside the church - which is now a museum - in the picture). The little white things in the background are sails - there was a race going on when we got there - although I'm not sure what type of boats they were!

[Tiffany]

Super new photo's from you all. It's going to be very difficult to chose the best this time.

Thanks TP

It was taken on the last day of our holiday in Menorca, and the dark cloud on the left was the edge of a storm that knocked out the electricity for our side of the island in the middle of the night. Cue trying to find two frightened and screaming children in the pitch black, with only the light from hubbys phone to guide us. Ah, happy holiday memories

I have to say, there are some beautiful pictures this month. A few really catch my breath away. voting will be tough!

Taly, my sister-in-law got married near there - there's a hotel just a little further on from that church, with a wooded garden out onto the lake. She got married in August, but it was a pretty cold day, and the water was a lot choppier! It's a really lovely area.

And for Anivid, my camera is a Nikon D90
