So you are continuously shooting the musicians? That must be challenging.

Thank you for your comments John and Yoshi. Yes, still shooting the bands and currently editing Saturday night's shots. I also had a shoot in the morning, but that was a pre-wedding mee at the venue to scout locations and for posing practice/tuition. It'll all be fine as long as the bride stops talking for 10 seconds so I can get her without her mouth open/pulling a face or whatever!

Really contra-jour even with the lights out!

Here's my submission, after my sabbatical for cataract surgeries:

Haven't entered for a while so I thought I'd better show willing after Audrey's gee up.

Thanks Martin and all the rest of you that have suddenly made the effort. It makes for a more interesting Salon.

OK, again only because Madam has demanded more. Had to take one from the gallery as I have had to put my laptop back to factory settings so lost all my pics (thankfully backed up on deskytop and on external drive, unfortunately 3,500 miles away). Add to that rainy season has started with a bang so no contre jour

Taken last week on Copett Hall Beach, Saundersfoot Wales. I got up early and stood in freezing cold sea water to get the shot, which woke me up quickly.

One from the archives as it has not stopped raining here for days and just to make the numbers up for Audrey.

[Autumn]

First of all let me thank all you obliging people for making this Salon worth judging.

Contra Jour is our Photo Society's fixed subject for next season so I wanted to see what sort of thing people submitted.

Anyway, I found it really hard to come to a final decision and have changed my mind many times.

However, IN JOINT THIRD PLACE we have:

Ekkl for the dynamic image of the Wheel,
Goatsmilk for Saundersfoot Sunrise - nicely produced with a slow shutter speed I think and worth getting up early to make,

and

Rogleale for his lamps - another strong and unusual image.

In SECOND PLACE - TheBull1875 for his Crane - I really love this image. (Enjoy Vegas)

and

IN FIRST PLACE - John Perriment for his image of Autumn - I like the starlight effect from the sun peeping through the trees.

So, over to you John. Let's see what you have up your sleeve for us and once again, thanks to everyone.

Let's see if we can get this Salon up to speed again. We have sadly lost a couple of photographers during the past year, who would have most certainly entered.

[John Perriment]

That's great! Thank you Audrey, I'm really chuffed.

I'll put my thinking cap on and post a new Salon tomorrow.

[Kurt]

Thanks Autumn for a fine salon and well done JP for a deserved win, in the face of some fine competition.

[TheBull1875]

Congrats John, and thanks for the 2nd Autumn!

[Caz]

Congratulations to all who placed, and John in particular - and good to see such a different array of entries.

Well done John and runners up. I know the salon has ended but have been busy moving house so have missed taking part. I took this today and wanted to show it anyway x
