Some photos from Min

Hi all

I haven't been on this forum for a long time as not been using Xara (shame on me) but instead I have been doing a lot of photography. As there is now a Photography area, I thought I'd post some of my favourite shots.

All the best
Amanda

Hi Min,

You have been missed.

Very nice photos. The trees with shadows makes a great pattern and the keyhole with webs is very thought provoking.

Thanks for sharing them with us.

Amanda -

Wonderful photos! I agree with Bill on the last photo ... it's quite dramatic.

Very nice Amanda,

Rich

Thanks all for your lovely comments. I'll try to participate here more often.

Best
Amanda

Nice shots Amanda. Feel free to post more.

Many of us who post here also post the important EXIF data so we can all learn from the shots. You are welcome to post the data also.

Nice photographs Amanda.

I particularly like the Sunflower.

Hi John

Sorry I did "Save for Web" so that strips the EXIF info :( *slapped wrist*!!!

For your info,

(1) Sunflower - Nikon D40, 60mm, F/3.3, 1/50s, +0.7EV, Matrix metering, ISO 200 (that's a fave of mine too Keith - it was my dad's favourite flower)

(2) Trees - Nikon D40, 20mm, F/9, 1/320s, 0EV, Matrix metering, ISO 200

(3) Chrysanthemum - Nikon D40, 60mm, F/6.3, 1/80s, +1.7EV, Matrix metering, ISO 400

(4) Keyhole - Nikon D80, 90mm, F/2.8, 1/400s, 0EV, Centre-weighted metering, ISO 100

I will make sure any future photos on here will have the EXIF info!

Best
Amanda

Bee-autifully captured Min. Well done http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

Thanks John. I use a Firefox plug-in that reads the Exif data (FxiF) when I ctrl-click (I use a Mac).

Hi Min,

I think John (as do I) like to see the poster (your) add the EXIF to the post along with the photo.
Many people are curious about camera settings because it helps them learn more about their own cameras & photography. So while we admire your photos, we like to see under the bonnet a bit too ;)

By the way, Opera web browser for Windows, views EXIF natively without plugins.
Right click the image and any available EXIF is displayed in the properties box. Very useful :)

Thanks Steve :) I use a Mac but I'll check Opera and see if it views EXIF data in the same way as the Windows version.

Amanda, posting EXIF data is optional, it is not a requirement.

Hi, Min. Amaizing and excellent photos!!!!

Of course it's optional Mike, as are tutorials in any other forum.
However in the spirit of any TG discussion, sharing ideas and learned techniques, the posting EXIF along with the featured photo is simply another way of sharing knowledge.

Min, Mike is correct and in no way should you feel obliged to post EXIF.
Like seeing wire-frame views of vector art, it's simply a polite request from interested members.

Hi Amanda,

I use IRfanview on windows to grab my EXIF data. Have no idea if it is ported to the Mac.:rolleyes:

Don't feel obligated to post the EXIF data, it just makes it lots easier on us photo types to see why a shot worked or didn't work.

OR if you are like me, and would like to improve your shots, it is easier for other phototypes to let you know where a quick change in settings would make a decent shot into an excellent shot.
