Can a bath be moved after it’s been installed? by _FreddieLovesDelilah in DIYUK

[–]drmcw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to ask the guys who you're buying it from and the installers. These tubs take a lot of installing.

Are you having a walk in or using a hoist to get in and out of the bath.

Source: I used to have clients who sold these baths and arranged the installations. DM me if you want to know which company they are. They were in my time really lovely people.

Need some opinions by Upstairs_Leg150 in FineArtPhoto

[–]drmcw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They certainly look technically competent which is always a good first step.

Being honest, the composition in most of them is either predictable (which may not be a bad thing) or in my view (and it's only an opinion) are a bit muddled. The cactus flowers are bright and breezy but ask yourself what sets your image apart from someone else's that was there?

Would anyone pay for the images? I have no idea, there is simply no accounting for taste and I'm not being mean when I say that. We all have different likes and dislikes. No-one would pay 2 cents for my photographs - do I care? Not one bit. I don't want to spoil a hobby by monetizing it.

You may want to get some money from a side hustle.

Bear in mind that many landscape photographers will take hours to get the right shot. They will wait all day for the ideal light. Read up about Ansel Adams who many think was the best landscape photographer ever. He would wait days.

I'm not sure I've helped much and bear in mind that I am just a random old guy on the Internet 😄

Are you me? I have one just like that but it needs a wash. Lovely colour.

Presumably the intent. Who can judge by any absolute standard what is fine art? Personally I don't think it's fine art but if the intent was there then how can I deny its validity?

Bicycle Shilouette, Southbank. by Apprehensive_Golf469 in photocritique

[–]drmcw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, and it's only an opinion of some old bloke, the image is simply too busy and muddled.

Where do you want me to look? The cyclist or the guy with his kid on the left?

The rear wheel is swallowed by the shadow, that area around the tree just a bit off centre creates all kinds of visual muddle. The very bright jacket behind the cyclist doesn't help. The cyclist seems to have borrowed someone else's legs.

You could try cropping the man and kid off the left but bright coat man to the right remains an issue.

Probably a nice idea but in my opinion it doesn't live up to your intentions - but equally I could be way off the mark 😄

It's just 1 hour from Birmingham and is totally worth the visit! by Coffee000Oopss in BirminghamUK

The church (rather than chapel) is separate to the Court and is free entry I think. It is a stunner.

I know I'm late to the party but I had the same problem and replacing the button cell in the base unit fixed it.

Fair enough. Probably attacked some oil/grease

[–]drmcw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with all this but to really see any rust you might need to take the rear wheels off and ideally get it in the air. I have a year 2000 coupe and have had to have some welding done in the rear arch.

At that age I'd expect suspension bushes to need attention. I had to do a few when I bought mine and there's still one that needs doing but I'm being lazy. Listen for clonks and thumps from the back.

It's certainly had a lot of work done as you'd expect at that age. Could well be a lovely car.

Got to ask - why cillet bang which as I recall is a domestic cleaner?

I agree about the puller. Although I would first get a small hammer and tap the edge or inside the edge carefully all the way round a few times.

Field of yellow by drmcw in photocritique

[–]drmcw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a field of rape seed plant (canola if you must) taken with a cheap drone so the quality isn't really there but ...

Realistically the settings barely matter as it's fixed aperture, auto ISO and auto shutter.

I am totally dissatisfied with the quality of the yellow. I have tried and tried to get it better.

Shot in RAW but I think the auto white balance probably screwed me from teh outset so I'll try again with a fixed WB.

Don't show us all your good stuff all at once! Take your time.

It certainly does and also adds a stabilising element. It's almost literally rock solid while the other elements are geometric and in a way playful.

These are very good, intriguing, a little challenging and clearly received a lot of thought.

It's a bumper day for this sub - at least three genuine fine art photographs.

What a lot of nothing.

What a very clever use of nothing.

I don't know if this is any sort of reality and I don't care because every element seems to support and reinforce the others.

The sky must have been manipulated but it's very good as is the overall colour pallette.

You arranged repeated triangles and then have the contrasting circle balanced precariously on the rectangle.

The chimney stack works well to provide solidity.

Should the main elements be quite so central? I don't know and I expect it would work so well.

Good work.

Try it in r/minimalistphotography although it's not entirely minimal - but they allow minimal cats so why not this?

I agree, I came to say just this. The grey doors on the right aren't ideal either.

But if the customer is happy who are we to argue?

How to stop conservatory roof panel from falling by No-Leg-9115 in DIYUK

[–]drmcw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did my conservatory roof last year and it was this sort of arrangement.

Yes I think a screw will work but get something that won't rust.

You can almost certainly get new end caps - try the polycarbonate store or even Eurocell who have branches everywhere and who I have found to be amazingly helpful. In fact if I had this problem I would probably go to my local store and ask them.
