DOes this look better Actually I think it does, but then again it doesn't, the wider format adds to the length of the plane, but I think the tarmac in the forground gave a better composition, but you misunderstood my suggestion anyway, just off centre in the foregound is a clump of lighter coloured ...

Good weather for photos!
Excellent shots. You seem (like me :) ) to have one of the better examples of the kit lens. I agree about the crop with the sunset, great positioning of the tree. The one of the wooden balustrade would work better if you could have got the wood from the front in focus. You'd need to calculate th...

Thanks Kris; this feedback is very useful indeed. I'm quite chuffed you think I have a good copy of the 18-55 too! You are spot on with your opinion of the wooden balustrade. I was trying to get the detail in everything so that you could see the grain in the wood all the way up; but I think it wo...

A moment captured
Very nice photo, the purple works great with the water most of the time blue seems to work better but will doubt that with this one. The only thing I can criticized is that the highest drop isn't in focus.

Garden Leaf
Well, if it is the beauty of leafs, you want to show, get in closer and concentrate on the fine detail. When using natural light, try leafs that are backlit, they reveal these structures at the best, and work during overcast weather, or directly after a shower of rain. It saturates the colours. ...

Moving Objects and Indoor Photography
I have only used flash on a image once and that is the first shot below. Its a picture of one of the 4 Genets that used to visit the dinning room of the lodge we were staying at in Tanzania. Can you please tell me if the shot is OK? I have had to use my Corel Paint Shop Pro One Stop Photo Fix on it ...

Spider in the bath....
i was wondering do you think it could of been a prob with to much light? ie the reflection from the white ceramic all around him? Try using manual focusing and then see the difference. One method of practising your AF and MF is this: push the focus lever to MF and then focus manually, then kee...

Amin as allways your answers are full of knowlege and ideas. Thanks. You may well be right, the AF was strugleing a bit, i think the top image i used MF on but i strugle with manual focus due to poor eye sight! I couldnt say wether it was on single or continuous i was playing around with differen...

Always manual focus and make sure its aimed at the eyes. You will also need around f16 and flash is usually a must as well.

I would recommend that everyone should learn to manual focus and not rely on auto. You say that your eyesight isn't great, but mine isn't, but I use the viewfinder correction slider at the top of the viewfinder. This isn't meant as nasty, but don't let poor eyesight be an excuse. Try taking pict...

ideas for improvement
Any thoughts on how i could have given this shot more impact? I know increasing aperture would have blurred the background, but I wanted the building in focus. Anybody got any other ideas? Davex.

First off portraits.
The last shot cropped back and all in B/W would be better. The others are not to my taste. :D

First off portraits.
I like the BW versions. particularly the last. But I would forget the flash, leave her where she is and get in front of her so one side of her face is lit by the window. You could experiment with a polystyrene or paper reflector on the other side to fill in the shadows or go for a Rembrandt-style s...

The background, turned the back, looking into emptyness....that all makes it so "rubbish day". It makes the mood. I would say sometimes bad things all together start to play. :) ok, its just my fantacy ;) but there is a way for it.
