Colour at the botanics

[Rob MacKillop]

DP3Q.

 

[John Allen]

Saw that first image and thought to myself, "Ooh, pretty."

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Gorgeous Rob, especially the curly leaf first one and the reds in the second are excellent. What a camera !

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, lads.

Julian, you should know, the camera is rubbish, but the photographer is brilliant!

 

[Paul Lange]

Rob - colour? A lot has changed since I've been away.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Haha. Yes, I do colour now, thanks to the DP3 Quattro. It surprised me, as my intention was to do lots of b&w, but the colour is so good.

 

[John Allen]

Thanks, lads.

Julian, you should know, the camera is rubbish, but the photographer is brilliant!

"It's not the photographer, it's the camera" is what photographers tell beginners before rushing off to snap up the latest new gadget or camera.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

The second one is overwhelmingly good, actually excellent. So it takes a camera to make you see then. Well whatever it takes, welcome my son, into the world of splendour.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I've been trying to get into the World of Splendour for many years. Now I can stand alongside you, Ivar.

Now you are talking But don't surpass me

 

[Rob MacKillop]

As if!

 

[John Holland]

Both are stunning images, but I really like the first one. Keep them coming Rob.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Try stopping me! Thanks, John.

 

[Keith Hollister]

I like both of these, Rob, but the first one is the one that really grabs my attention due to the unusual subject and the light.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Keith. The first is not as in focus as I'd like, or is it sharpness that's lacking...it was hand-held, and at an awkward angle for me to hold the camera in. But it almost works.

So you're channeling HCB - focus appeared to be optional with him most of the time and he's famous. He even had popular quote on the subject

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I was his teacher. It's true. Don't believe the biographies.

 

[Brian Moore]

Both are stunning shots, Rob. The first is a bit mysterious as well, and the second is simply beautiful.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Merci, monsewer

 

[Pete Askew]

I wonder what they be like in bl...

Oh all right then. They're not too bad!
