Hi Marc,

I would say there's not a lot wrong with the picture or the processing, but it lacks a wow factor that's needed for a good scoring free study.

It could maybe have done with some more dramatic lighting to really bring out the shape in the mountains, although thats not something you can control :0)

Just my opinion anyway

Now where the hell do you find insects to photograph?

Under a rock? :)

I don't know, we still have about an inch of snow.

I got a couple of insect shots today actually, only realised half way through i was shooting in RAW!! But got some good ones once i'd switched to RAW + JPEG.

Still need to get night shot as chains is at a really disappointing 5.55 at the moment

My chains is sitting at around 5.4 which, frankly, is about where it should be. My kid has a much better shot that is sub-5 at the moment. Bah to the voters!

All is not lost, however ... contre jour is holding steady around 6.7xxx, and just picked up a remote trigger to try some more night shots this evenin!

My contre-jour is at 6.1 and chains is at 5.8 and has been rising all day so I hope that's a good sign.

Hey you guys....I don't know how I am gonna come up with an insect. How about the rest of you? Any ideas? I moved a rock and there was some of those roly poly things. Do those count? LOL

Same here. No insects for me. Just not really my idea of fun picture taking. And besides, I'm in slump and having a hard time coming up with anything.

WTG Nikolai! I'm still around 5.4 with mine. Haven't heard much from those Spartans ... perhaps they're chains are weighing them down. (Not that I've got much room to crow!)

I'm gonna shoot insects if I can find some bugs. Live ones, though, no museums for me. Gives me another excuse to break out my old manual focus macro again. At least the no crop rule won't hurt me .... I hope.

BTW great job on Changes kevin!

Loved that crazy perspective on your shot.

well done to the team on the contre-jour!! I was browsing through the shots and saw half the team within a few pages!!! Excellent work and some great shots.

Superb top 10 EstimatedEyes!

Chains is on an ever disappointing 5.55 and NightShot has started badly at 5.33 so I may be another non contributor this week :0(

Congrats on the great scores everyone! Well we didn't beat the other team but it was so close!

Congratulations to both teams for such wonderful shots...I can tell you I did everything I could to vote GoldenEye past DPC7! I gave you guys a 7 average in contre-jour, and have two of your team's photos on my first page of Contre-jour! Congratulations especially to EstimatedEyes and Fredahenry for top 10 finishes and personal bests!
