You have a very steady hand, Jackie! Composition, exposure, focus - everything is in place here.

First practice shots with the Bigma
Here are a couple of practice shots with the Bigma. Nothing special actually, a typical Dutch cow. They were all shot out of my hand, I had to increase the contrast and the saturation a little because of the bright overcast. The second one isn't completely in focus and/or suffers from a little cam...

First practice shots with the Bigma
You have done a lot better than I did when I first had my Bigma, my shots were almost totally chuck shots. You do seem to be missing the sharp focus and I would suggest you pull back a bit to say 450 or 480 to get the best in clarity. Of course, a tripod helps a lot as does good light and a subj...

First practice shots with the Bigma
Well on the sharp focus. I am trying out a number of things because I feel like it isn't as sharp as it should be. I will do some tests this weekend and otherwise I am going to contact the shop or Sigma. I know the focus can be adjusted mechanically on the Bigma by slightly moving the rear element.

Tigers at Howletts
I like them, only a bit dark but still great. The second on is my favourite of the two. I would almost crop away the darker right half in the second photo and for reason of composition also his nose then. I'm now doing it with a piece of paper but you should try it, you get a very powerfull imag...

One more G20 Photo
Yeah, I see that this mornin' on the news. Its gross, the police will all get away with it. You watch. Or they will be jus' given a slap on their pinky finger no doubt. I've jus' come back from the Tamil protest up in Westminster. I was given permission to photograph Subramanyam Parameswaran who ...

End Homelessness Now! Project #8
I remember a time when Paul was chastised for posting an image from a Ricoh camera. How times have changed, maybe he knew something back then . . . He was king of the monochrome study too, some excellent work.

Do you have a preference?
Out in North Wales amongst the relatively little known and infrequently visted Berwyn Mountains..weather was terrific and on the way back down the mountain I decided to re-try a shot I've taken before, would appreciate some C&C regarding a preferred composition & why ?? Thanks Simon

Sydney skyline
Hi all. My first image post. Took it back in January. Was a dirty old day. Overcast and showery. Its taken from the top of the Harbour Bridge pylon. Got some good feed back about it elsewhere, made some suggested changes. Taken with the 18-55 kit lens. Cheers

Sydney skyline
Nice photo, the compositions is also good. I like how the colour tones of the bus lane and the brownish lane next to it comes back in the buildings on the right side, only too bad they don't on the left :(

Sydney skyline
Thanks guys. I use The Gimp. Its mainly levels, contrast, and a tiny bit of saturation. The sky was pretty much blown so I used a grad filter to bring it back.

Little Lambs
Thanks Stefan. I have quite a few more lenses (far too many infact) that are not in my list. Those are just the manual focus.

I dropped my lucky pebble. Ok, time to retrace my steps.
Good suggestions all. Martin, I see what you've done with the composition but I am loathed to lose the reflection of the sun, even if it is a litlle clipped I still like it. Malcolm, I find the panoramic interesting but would lose alot of pixels & I didn't think of a pebbles only composition, ...

Ralph, And as you are not shy of extreme pics HOW DARE YOU ! I'm German. Need I say more?:roll: I've been guilty of going OTT with my landscapes & am trying to hold back & not over-process. It's funny that on this occasion both Martin & yourself have boosted the colours & contrast. The boosting...

I dropped my lucky pebble. Ok, time to retrace my steps.
I'll bet, after sunset the true glory of the scene was revealed. It did get a fair bit more colourful 10 mins after this shot (at which point I was back in the car park) I did want to return to the shore but my wife had other ideas. It was a little hazy so as the sun hit the horizon, it fizzled out....
