    Thanks for the entries so far, keep 'em coming!  :)

     Also, I noticed that camera settings have been added to the competition thread. Everyone okay with that?

    I guess it could help others to try similar settings?......

    I absolutely agree; however, it was discussed when idea pooling that the 'comment thread' could/should be used for said settings to make the 'competition thread' text free. If everyone is happy with this info being there, then it's okay with me too  :)

    @skullfunkerry you definitely made the right decision  :) 

    @stickyfiddle yes, 10 days and counting. Your idea best be worth the suspense
    ;)

    I promise I have an idea. I can't promise I will make it work... But I will definitely try :)

    Just added my photo... not so many in there at the moment!

    What is that in your picture, @skunkwerx? I like the colour :)

    Incidentally, I had two pictures and wasn't sure which one to use. This is the one that didn't make the cut:


    Cheers man :) I call it Laguna.. 

    Its an Ibanez Rgdix6mpb. 



    The only easy day, was yesterday...

    I forgot about making the main thread text free... if everyone wants to move the photo settings etc to this thread then I'm happy to edit my post
    Too much gain... is just about enough \m/

    Don’t think so.

    It makes much more sense (to me anyway) to have the settings in the post with the picture, rather than having to cross reference the comments in another thread. I can see you might not want the thread clogged up with lots of “nice shot” and “what guitar is that?” comments, but even that wouldn’t bother me. At the moment it’s all a bit confusing having two threads going and personally I’d be happy to just have one next time around. 

    I’ll get a pic submitted soon btw.

    I agree that having settings in the competition thread would be much easier. But for now at least, we'll keep the comments thread open for anything else people might want to talk about. And if it doesn't get used, then maybe we'll think about scrapping it later on.

  • Done! Just finished work and finally had some time and the right mood :) 
    I really like your picture. I thought I'd set my ISO too low (well, forgotten to set it higher tbh), but yours isn't far off what mine was. I'm still getting to grips with not shooting in Auto mode...
    Too much gain... is just about enough \m/

    Yeah, if anything mine is a smidge underexposed, but I think it works for the low-key feel I wanted. The same shot could just as easily have become basic magazine/product photography with a slight settings tweak.

    Once you’re past the initial decision of “is the exposure completely wrong inappropriate or basically ok”, it’s then all down to personal preference.

    I've taken quite a few photos now where I've forgotten to check the ISO and discovered that they're completely over exposed. In one case I didn't check until much later and the opportunity was lost...

    Yeah, but making mistakes is the best way to learn. 

    Depending on what I'm doing, I either leave ISO on Auto (for general use) or its minimum setting (if I'm outside in daylight), then manually choose aperture and shutter based on how I want the photo to look (i.e. the mix of bokeh, sunstars, blurred or frozen movement). In effect I'm basically in Aperture-priority mode most of the time, although Fuji don't have that on a single dial setting like you'd see on a DSLR.

    I use aperture priority mode most of the time, but I think with the lens I've got the camera sometimes can't compensate for the ISO I've selected (or forgotten to change)
