| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Borth is a seaside village north of Aberystwyth on the west coast of Wales. This newly painted tall narrow house which faces the sea caught my eye.
Apart from cropping, very little has been done to the original. |

Hello Peter,
A nicely restored property by the look of it, perhaps late Victorian or Edwardian. Good tones and definition and well set off against the blue sky. Nice light and shadow play. You perhaps don't need so much road in the foreground.
Hi Peter. I'm never quite sure what to think when someone says their picture is as taken or, as in this case, had little done apart from cropping. All digital cameras have either embedded auto settings in very basic compacts or dial-in settings for hue, sat, sharpness, contrast, WB. Without sharpening - the image, due to the anti-aliasing filter would be soft - it's a fact of digital life. My pictures are taken as raw files and I use no in-camera settings, preferring to work on the basic raw file when all the above are adjusted. The in-camera settings I reserve for the odd occasion when taking jpgs in sRGB and expecting to do no further editing before output. Even here, when the image is resized (perhaps for the web) you should expect to re-sharpen. The distorted perspective can be adjusted in PS or elements. The lack of sharpness and contrast also, but these latter can be dialled-in to your camera if you prefer. Sharpening should generally be done last and always at the output size. A good picture of a quirky building but with a small amount of work it could be greatly improved. I hope you take this friendly advice as well meant. Vic. (read my intro - I'm a grouch!)
Hi Peter,
I looked through older photos in general and yours in particular and found this very attractive picture. I like the vertical format and the colours are also very fine here. The small patches of sunlight on the bay windows are also contributing. I also read, with great interest, the exchange of comments between you and Vic Chapman.
Regards
Gunnar
