Last night’s competition at Godalming Photographic Club was Landscape Print. I haven’t been able to take any photos recently, so I raided my catalogue. Both of these were taken in Yorkshire on a photo walk.

The judge reckoned this was too cyan. I did a quick edit of the original to remove some cyan, and it did look much more natural!

Taken near Aysgarth falls, but not at that location, this was a careful crop to remove the other photo walk participants. The judge noted that a slightly higher camera position would improve the relation between the foreground rocks and the waterfall.

This week, the GPC competition theme was ‘Monochrome’. I entered:

This is a re-edit of my earlier entry. I cropped it differently, to remove the distracting rider at the back right. I also went for a tighter overall frame. In the end, I suspect losing the moto rider reduced the story impact of the image, so that what remains is a bit confused.

Another image I took as a result of Margaret Ford‘s mentoring. This decaying leaf, resting on a light box, was fairly monochrome in colour (think ‘brown’).
