'The Bean' Chicago
I like #3 best but all of them are good. Chicago, what a city for architecture (and architecture photography). Shame I was there before the digital era, should go back again. But certainly not in winter time... BTW: #1 is a great shot in it's own right! Prieni

I see dirty streaks on the first and last shots, couldn't you have polished it first:P I like the second shot best. Sorry, forgot me ladder! Thanks for the comments guys, now back to work on the rest of them! :D

Fun with bubbles
Really pleased to hear that you're enjoying the forum community and that you're also making great strides with your photography. I especially like No 5, an excellent expression and spot on focus. Have you thought of doing a tighter crop on the left to remove the ear from the composition?

Thanks everyone, I really am after straight and honest comments so don't hold back! This is a nice little spot at the top of the grounds of Gawthorpe Hall, but as you say whether or not that can be captured is something else. I shall try again on some other occasion and it may be that it reall...

A beautiful place John!.....you come across somewhere that feels and looks amazing and you stand back and take it all in,amazed at what nature provides us!........you then have to create a Photograph with a focal point to draw you into the shot!...Why?....cant we just enjoy the scene for what it is?...

Thanks everyone, I really am after straight and honest comments so don't hold back! Well I would have said its well exposed....but you CHEATED!:D:D As for the image, its pleasing enough to the eye but its not exactly a winner, you already know yourself it a bit "through the middle" and I feel its...

In some browsers you will need to click on the image to see the full width, but even so I do feel it is a little cramped, so it's a fair point. Unfortunately if we widen the field of view it's not helpful because of what's there and if we reduce the height we get a wider shot but lose IMO too muc...

Llandaff Cathedral
Very nice images - I just wonder whether a focal length of 13mm or maybe 15mm might have been better :wink: Lol, that's why I decided to replace this particular 14mm lens with a 12-24, sometimes I just prefer the versatility to a prime! Looks like you're going to get good use out of it Bob, hope ...

Views from Sear Tower - Chicago
I like numbers two and three the best. When we were there it was also cold and snowy and I didn't have a camera :(. I want to go back to Chicago sometime and spend longer there, when it is a bit warmer, and the lake isn't frozen. Did you notice that the river flows the wrong way?

Wet Bank Holiday Weekend
Yay!! For weather-sealed cameras! :D :D I spent Friday at Santa Pod where we saw around half-a-dozen cars run before the rain stopped play. Spent virtually all day in the paddock and came back with 250+ keepers. This was my favourite as the lighting and the raindrops sum the day up for me: ...

Just had another look and cropped in on the camera. It's a Dynax 5D and the focus switch is set to MF..

just wondering if these are any good (i think not) so all comments welcome thanks, You are having a laugh aren't you? Well you asked for C&C so here it is: The point of focus on the first shot should be on the eye and it isn't, and the second shot has a horrible black border round it with you...

Not the safari park...but
Fair point over the kestrel ( I accidentally named it a hawk in my file name :oops: ). It was a lot sharper than some others I took when they flew some birds, so I didn't notice this. But coming back to it I see you are right. I didn't use a tripod. Only took the camera as an afterthought. The wa...

24mm try out
Took the camera out yesterday with the 24mm lens to see if I could find out how to use this glass to its best advantage. This is the first time I have used this lens outside having only used it for the odd (often very odd) interior shot – I have put them on here because I need help and suggestio...

24mm try out
Jackie What lens is it ? The first image shows it is certainly sharp. I think you focussed closer on the second image, but I am guessing the wind is moving the grasses. You can use a hyperfocal point to try and get everything in focus if that is your wish. There are online calculators to help ...

24mm try out
I think the first two pylon shots would have had more impact if they were symmetrical. Directly underneath the central cable in the first and with the far pylon in the middle of the inverted V of the legs of the closest one. Is this an old manual lens? The first picture of the lake shows it's capab...

24mm try out
Thank you Peter and Mark for your helpful comments, yes it was windy and foggy so not the best of days. The lens has been in my kit for some while but I thought I could only use it for shot of a room etc, then I noticed people used them for scenic shots, so though I would have a go. It is a S...

Moon shot DA*300mm 1.7 af Adapt
Wonderfull shot and the DA300 shines once again. I think that you will find that it is the moon that is shining!:lol::lol: I think you'll find that it's the sun that is shining & the moon is reflecting the light back to earth ! :P I wonder how marked the difference would be at the same shutter ...

Moon shot DA*300mm 1.7 af Adapt
Excellent shots of the moon, Steve. The 1.7x AF converter looks like it mates well IQ wise. Does it also focus easily? I know my DA*300 works quite well with the Tamron 1.4x TC. K-7 + DA*300 f4 + Tamron 1.4x TC, @ f5, 1/60sec, ISO1600.
