Jus' a few more Protest shots
I've jus' seen the video footage on the BBC news tonight of the police batonin' and pushin' over the newspaper seller who died on April 1st at the G20 protests. He wasn't even a protester! I've seen this video too, and I would agree, in isolation it does look completely unprovoked. If so, then of...

Jus' a few more Protest shots
Well I like your pictures, I particularly like someone who has a viewpoint and something to say in their work, a refreshing change for me from rambling discussions over the merits of one lens over another and so on. Nice also to see ChrisA back on his high horse voicing opinions on subjects he cl...

Jus' a few more Protest shots
It is very common for a person to write in the way that they speak as this is the way in which they think... I really think that the forum in general is taking a far too personal approach to things as it is very difficult to judge someone online. (John, this is not directed at you in a derogatory...

Magnolia Blossoms
Robin, It's generally better to post one picture at a time if you want comments. In my experience, the best flower pictures tend to throw the background out of focus - usually through the use of a wide aperture. Your middle picture (I didn't check the others) was taken at f9.5. My choice wou...

But then, going for wider aperture would cause the flowers being out of focus (#2)? So maybe rather 5.6 than 2.8? George, about whites blown out - would it help if there is some shadow or the light is not so strong? Magnolies are beautiful blossoming :)

But then, going for wider aperture would cause the flowers being out of focus (#2)? So maybe rather 5.6 than 2.8? I don't that matters too much as long as a critical part of the flower is in sharp focus, but I would agree that if f5.6 is sufficient to blur the background adequately then it would be ...

Not so friendly
Not as good as your last one I'm afraid, would be better with the seated guy on the left looking the same way. The only real interest for me is the guy at the back sniffing his armpits. PS: re-your profile, is your real name David Bailly? or are you having a laugh.

Right, no more jokes about smokes, nor birds for that matter :wink: Her are the first images taken with my DA*300 and Tamron 1.4TC kindly borrowed from Mike-P. Suggestions and any views welcome. I love the ability of retaining the SDM focusing on this TC, absolutely marvelous. It just takes a...

DA*300 with Tamron 1.4TC (courtesy of Mike-P)
most of the shots I took I tried to keep the focus on the eyes, but the problem is SS was very low on everyone of them. 1/45 and around. I struggled with trying to keep low ISO and stopping a bit down, f9.5, f8.0 and I was already pushing my luck. The birds kept on moving the heads constantly obviou...

I'm currently PPing & would like your opinion on whether this soft focus effect works or not ? Thanks, Bob

Quick Feedback Required
It's a boy. (Not mine btw) ! It was a favour to some of my wifes colleagues, I was expecting more of a formal shoot but they just wanted some informal family shots in the garden. My main concern was over the focus effect, I don't want to lose too much detail, but it has to look deliberate obvious...

Vapour Trail Analogy
The original has disappeared but my comment on this one would be (purely as an architectural photograph) to remove the vapour trail :!: I agree, it more of an architechtural shot and the vapour trail only serves to detract, though I missed the original so cant make a comparison, it was a good idea b...

Age of Steel
Thanks! It's part of the statue of the Duke of Lancaster, in Manchester Town Hall. Unfortunately on the day we chose to visit the town hall many parts were closed, but it looks interesting enough to go back to at some future date.

Finally, a nice day!
Nice shot Emily. I would crop the tree on the right so its about the same width as the one on the left, but not so much as to cut into that full tulip. And as a personal preferance I'd have adjusted the levels slightly to give it a bit more punch and perhaps tried a more pastel appraoch and th...

Finally, a nice day!
I suggest you book an appointment with your optician. The tree on the right has almost disappeared in the second picture. G I should get an appointment as well. Opening new tabs with each of the pictures and flicking back and forth I don't see a difference. I do see the difference in my browse...

Finally, a nice day!
On my monitor the tree on the right has not moved, even after the first whisky of the day I think you'll find that Emily has updated the original with the cropped version, it had about another inch of solid trunk on the right:wink: I'm sure she'll be along to explain:D Me? I just came back for a...
