^The 26 images above (^) are prime examples of photos taken with a compact digital camera (the most common type - costing around £70 - £120)
The digital zoom has been used to an extent that the image has lost all quality in several, which would require a more powerful optical zoom or an alternative lens(dSLR)
None of the above photos have been edited, and looking through them you should immediately be able to spot the potential of some if not all of the images. Some of these require little editing (remember all photos require at least some) whereas others require a lot more.
If you look through the pictures try and keep an eye out for what you think would be a prioritywhilst editing. Try and look for 2/3 things (e.g saturation, cropping, sharpening, grayscale, or anything else you can think of.
I would like to thank Mr Conor Irvine for the images below of "Wild" Horses & Ponies in their natural habitat, he has managed to capture the eternal youth of foals feeding and sleeping, and freeze the aging process of the older horses. The below images are at the moment in their raw (un-edited) form but we have been informed that the edited photos will be along in under a month. This photographer has given permission for editing.
Unfortunately we have very few photos at the moment, but we are working on it as you read this. If you would like to have photographs posted please contact me at:
conorsirvine@gmail.com
with the message subject YOCO Photograph Submission
the message should clearly state what the image is for
(e.g the YOCO scavenger hunt, item number 14) (forum scavenger hunt: name: nature picture number 3) (photograph for gallery)
Please ensure all emails are in this format or they may not be opened or acknowledged. Please state whether you would like your name put by them and the location of the photograph.
Please note that photos for the gallery and photos for the scavenger hunt are different, please ensure you state either gallery or scavenger hunt. Thank you.
