Creative Shots

Hi All,
I thought I would show you how to upload images including creating a gallery page. If you want dig out a few photos (jpg) and create a gallery along with me, please do.

Will do.

HI All, Would members like to send me their retrospective images for a slideshow for next week's Christmas meeting. Roughly 10 per member. I have already got the ones shown at the online meetings from the summer onwards so if you want to send me any others, please do. About 1600px in width if possib...

Wow! Wonderful shots.
Are members going to send me their images so I can show them at the Christmas meeting??

Hi Jim, Yes do send them over and I can add them. The new galleries are now online here https://colchestercreativeshotsforum.wordpress.com/2020/11/07/september-meeting/ and here https://colchestercreativeshotsforum.wordpress.com/2020/11/07/october-meeting-autumn/ Feel free to comment when you've joi...

Hi Everyone, Please find the link to the new forum https://colchestercreativeshotsforum.wordpress.com. It looks quite different to this one but it works in a similar way. I actually think it is easier to use but that might be because I am very familiar with WordPress. Only people invited by Admin ca...

Hi, I would like to put the images that members have shown via Zoom meetings on the website so all members can see them. Does anyone have a problem with me putting their images online? If you would rather I didn't, please let me know. I have been working on a way of members being able to upload imag...

Hi Trevor, I would have liked a more dramatic sky when I took it. The sun was going down so the sun peeking out from behind the mountain works for me .

Hi Trevor, Feel free. I'll email it to you.

Lovely light Jim. We were in the Lake District a few weeks ago and the weather was hit and miss. Didn't capture the mountain scenes I wanted to because of the wind and rain. Will share a couple tonight but here is one of the Lion and Lamb from outside Wordsworth's Dove Cottage. Not a great shot - on...

Hope the church door will be open for you.
Have a good shoot.

Shall we meet at 10:00am tomorrow? Directions here: https://www.bures-online.co.uk/chapel/chapel_barn.htm : Sat Nav: CO8 5LD Screenshot 2020-10-09 at 18.23.46.jpg I have telephoned and left a message to ask for the church to be opened before I read the website where it asks to telephone once you are...

Ok the BBC weather forecast has now changed since yesterday and it is now looking rainy in the afternoon. Ian has kindly offered to bow out to reduce the numbers to six so that we can go as one group and abide by the covid regulations- otherwise we would have had to have been split into two groups. ...

Hi Everyone,
Shall we aim for Saturday then? - the afternoon as all members wanting to come can make pm.

I''ll phone regarding opening the church and then post back regarding times and parking.

Hi Folks, I thought I would put some feelers out for a visit to Bures to photograph the Bures Dragon and St. Stephens Church. The weather doesn't look very good for next weekend - the 3rd and 4th of October so can members make the following weekend, the 10th or 11th? Weather-wise, the Sat 10th or th...

Hi Lisa, some great suggestions there. I would be interested in the Bure Dragon, I wasn’t even aware there was one. I thought they’d all died out in Middle Ages 🤣 I think it's really impressive and little known even in this area. You will be in for a nice surprise :). I will have a look at the Phot...

Aren't they good! Well done Ava.

Hi, I've been compiling a list of places to visit over the next month(s) with our cameras whilst we are unable to meet in person at the Hythe Community Centre. With a little help from Alison, this is my list so far. Bures Dragon and St. Stephens Church plus a visit to medieval painting of dragon in ...

Thank you for the notes Robert and for the links Jim. I'd love to explore this further - perhaps in the winter when there are no gardens to photograph!

Jim I am interested too.

I know the tree and look forward to listening to the Honeywood Oak.

Phil, you can change the preferred language of your Mac by going to System Preferences/Language and Region and adding English UK as your preferred language if that helps.

So late to the party but here are my macro shots which I couldn't show at last Zoom meeting due to laptop problem.

Jim - I can't believe how close you got! Amazing photographs.
Phil - I like the composition and the colours. I like the idea of trying focus stacking so might give it a go.

Hi Michelle,
I too apologise for not being a very active member of the forum of late. I'm impressed with your mask making Michele. I can't claim to be doing anything worthy - just busy with web work and now photographing some of the Essex NGS gardens. My time management needs improving much.

Hi Richie,
I am still hoping to come but I've got a bad toothache which is making me tired and grumpy . I have an appointment with the dentist tomorrow afternoon thank goodness. If I feel ok after that, I'll be there.
Lisa
PS Ed's sunset photo is making me keen to go!
