Now that sounds like a possible plan.

Good of you to say that mate.

Now that may well be just too much. It really is pushing me on 52. 7 more metals to go.

I am toying with the thought of a second year.

Nice one Colin.

Nice one.

Nice one.

Allo.

Lovely stuff.

Well done Chrissy

I was a big Oasis fan and saw them more than ten times. So Noel gets a big thumbs up from me.

I am no expert. But whenever I shoot images of jewellery I find a bit trial error often plays a part. I use an off cam flash and umbrella. I will vary the position and distance of the umbrella from my subject. I will also play with the strength of the flash and make adjustments to aperture and shutter speed. I will sometimes reverse the umbrella and point the flash into it. It can take me several attempts to get it right with reflective objects. Oh and welcome.

Good one.

Awesome stuff.

Hi there Mond.

For my choice this week its a shot from Clicker - Last of the Everlasting Begonias. I just love those reds and greens. The flower on the right is lovely with that seed head protruding right into the image. The little cob web on that "branch" is a lovely touch of detail. The flower head on the left really balances the shot which is very comfortable to view. The bokeh is great with those circles of brightness hanging in the back ground on the left side. The light penetrating the petals is another bonus which helps to bring out the detail of the flowers. Colour, contrast and tones are all spot on for me. The fact that the image attracted quite a few likes really helps me to confirm my choice. Lovely image Polly. The original thread can be found here.

Flickr for me! 1st November 2010, York Minster on a autumn evening: 12th November 2017, my lump of metal that keeps cropping up in the 52 week challenge: .....and in a few months I will have topped 1 million views on Flickr.

Nice one Simon.

A most unusual but eye catching image.

Nice one.

Sorry to hear this FUJI.

Lovely choice.

Good one Rye.

Probably the snake is more scared of humans so the chance of a bite is small?
