And we’re enjoying the results. I especially like the first of the shots of the white orchid and the way that combines the fine detail with the structure of the bloom, Wes.

Another nice set, Shaun. Interesting though as do have a different look from your older work. Fresher is a word that springs to mind (not that that your older presentation lacked anything).

Hi Roy, this might help: https://realphotographersforum.com/threads/ideal-image-upload-settings.13739/post-198478 Kind Regards, Pete

I find they have much more impact with the extra DoF, and the compositions are stronger. What do you think?

What a satisfying composition, Aldous. Perfect.

Welcome to RPF, Roy. And what a super introductory image. Your trip sounds like a great way to ‘break you into’ retirement and we’ll benefit too by seeing the images you produce! :)

Another option might be to find an older secondhand machine and install a XP VM on it and then your old editing software. Gianluca is right, the new process lacks some of your usual finesse.

Fabulous set(s), Shaun. I especially like the ones presented in square format.

Very effective, Shaun and beautifully presented as always. I especially like the second too.

These were definitely worth getting your feet wet for! Three super shots, but the second is my favourite (not that I need one); the composition and light are perfect. Oh, and congratulations. :)

Surreal is the word alright, Milan. Imagine them in IR!

Lovely colours and a super subject. A tiny bit more DoF would be nice though.

And what a result! Certainly puts the reference shots to shame. Perfect framing too.

What a super series, Wes. There is something rather special about seaside resorts out-of-season; I spent my formative years growing up in one. The closed-up arcade and ‘Coral Island’ are my favourites. The latter almost looks like a still from a film.

Utterly gorgeous, Aldous. I do like tree ferns!
