Well deserved win :-)

Are they very precious? I tried scanning some of mine a while back and wasn't very impressed by my scans. Lot of mysterious stripes on them, though admittedly they had been left in a box, so some of the stripes were probably scratches. Good luck! :-)

Couldn't really chose anything else, could I? ;-) Picture taken 17 June. 'Classic'

I had a most unusual request at a wedding shoot yesterday. Between the ceremony and the wedding breakfast, we popped round to the couple's home (in a fab restored VW camper) in order to take pictures of the bride and groom with their two tortoises and their parent's elderly Labrador! I was happy to oblige, as I'm a great animal lover myself, but it was certainly a first for me! :-) Photos may get posted later. What was your most unusual request?

Lovely cat :-)

Well - sorted it in the end. I used collections with colour labelling. Had to colour label each pic as I added it to each collection, then set a filter on the whole catalogue to remove it once I had selected a pic for the collection. Took me a while to work it out but I got there in the end. What took a lot of time was that - unlike my mate with his 400mm lens - I was using a 70mm lens, and when it came to viewing the pics to decide whcih were keepers, I had to crop them all first, so I could see which car was which. (there were lots of similar cars/colours). This - and most of my other pics - was probably cropped to about 10% of the original picture. Good job I now have a full-frame/24mp, as I think my D300/12mp would have struggled. But at least I know next time how to sort them out quickly instead of all the muddling through I had to do this time :-) Thanks for pointing me in the right direction :-)

Thanks, Chris and Crafty :-) I don't like LR at all, but sometimes - such as with this number of pics to sort through - it's a necessary evil. I tend to find out about bits of it as I need them and whilst I knew of collections, I hadn't really looked into using them. Guess what I'll be doing next? ;-) Really appreciate your help :-)

Thanks, BP. Sadly it didn't say. I had googled to look but I couldn't find anything about it, so I'm guessing that it is not possible to name the stacks. It is possible to colour tag the pictures, which would have made it easier, but there are only half a dozen colours and there were 28 cars running, so that didn't help. I know it is possible to tag the pics, but that would still mean going through each one individually and typing in its tags. eg Golf Mk1 black, Golf Mik1 red, Corrado, Avant, etc. it would have been nice (and quicker) to drag each car into its own stack, then go through and quickly delete the non-keepers (lots of the shots of each car were similar, but as I was panning at high speed, some were sharper than others). Maybe I should make a suggestion to Adobe. But thanks for trying :-)

Having taken 1500+ pictures at the VW Sprint day today, for the first time I've decided to use Stacks in LR CC. Is there any way of naming the Stacks? (There are no faces in the pictures, mainly cars hooning around the track) TIA

Yes, saw them (via webcam) yesterday. Hope they don't get blown off before they can fly - they looked very precarious, didn't they?

Super picture - well deserved win :-)

Well done :-)

Well done, Fuzzy :-)

Thanks for all your advice, but Chris has grasped what I'm trying to find. I did try my profile, and my posts etc, but it is merely pictures I wanted to see, so that I could avoid posting the same again. It would be nice if all a person's pictures could be viewed through their own personal album, but that's probably not possible. So if you see duplicates of pictures I post, you'll have to put it down to my dementia setting in early! ;-)

Is there any way to pull out any pictures I've posted on TIPF? I belong to several forums besides this one, and I can't remember what pictures I've posted on each forum. How do I pull up the ones I've posted on here, please?

Great picture - well done :-)

I've done them several times and if you follow the guidelines in the link above, it's fairly simple. I think you get a bit more leeway with a baby. But they're fussy about what they're being printed on, so not sure about inkjet prints. I can get 6 passport pictures on one 6"x4" print that costs 25p at ASDA, so perhaps that's the way to do it?

Great pic and deserved winner :-)

It looks as if it might have been good, but I couldn't watch that flickering screen for more than a few minutes :-(

Slightly nutty? That's the understatement of this year! But he's a superb photographer (but don't tell him I said so!) Hello, Mitch

Gosh - not been on here for a few days, and now I'm absolutely taken by surprise. Each time I log on, I look to see if any of my pictures have made it to the random gallery at the top of the page, but not managed to get on there so far. So imagine my surprise on finding I'd got picture of the week. Thank you for all your kind comments, everyone. I can die happy now! ;-) (Not that I'm planning to any time soon.)

So sorry to hear about Angel. I can imagine some of the pain you are feeling, having had my previous cat put to sleep before Christmas. It is never an easy decision to make, but what helped me get through it a little was thinking that that last act is the price you pay for the years of pleasure they have given you. It is a high price to pay, but I'm sure you wouldn't have changed a thing. You have done a wonderful thing, rescuing all those little creatures, so I hope you can take some comfort from knowing what a great life you have given them, which they may not otherwise have had. x

Lovely picture - well done :-)

Thank you, Chris - I shall try that out nex time :-)
