Left to Right or Right to Left?
Thanks for the comments so far, I voted 'Neither', just so I could see the results without influencing them. ;-) I agree with Pauly. Of course, I only saw no. 2 AFTER no. 1, so in pure scientific terms this is probably not a good test. This did occur to me, so I had to decide which order to put ...

Left to Right or Right to Left?
I went for numder 2 :( Maybe that explains a lot about my photos :? I was wondering if it has anything to do with left or right handedness?Apparently, we all have a dominate stronger side to our bodies, mine is the right - so my left side is very much weaker than my right. When I looked at picture 2...

Brirtish Museum
A good angle - knowing the place and having seen your previous work this was not a surprise. Looking more closely, I wonder whether you're up to some PP? The lettering on the top could be emphasised with some (painstaking!) dodging, or even a black/grey paintbrush? Maybe this would add a more pre...

Connah's Quay Bridge in North Wales
I quite like the first - it's almost like a musical instrument. The second does nothing for me and I don't understand the third. It seems to be two ends of the bridge side by side. I went over the bridge within a few weeks of it being opened but as it happened didn't have a camera with me, I also se...

Carl Zeiss 135 mm lens
So you've discovered Carl Zeiss, now you'll want a 35mm one as well. The 135 is good as your shots show, but I prefer my 35mm f2.4 Flecktogon.:wink: Together with a 50mm this was a standard set in 35mm film days, then came the zooms... I still use mine from time to time, it brings back memo...

The Reds at Bournemouth Air Festival 2009
Very nice, especially the last one, which was exquisitely timed, and a very good choice of shutter speed to stop them both. (For those not used to shooting the Red Arrows, you need a much shorter exposure than you think you might, when they're crossing like this, if you're panning on one of them....

Trying to be Imaginative
I really like No1, but wonder if it would look better in landscape? I do feel the bee(?) really needs to be in focus, even if it is turning away. But I think that in terms of experimenting No1 in particular is a great perspective and well worth pursuing. Nice.

Trying to be Imaginative
Its always good to try out new things, If you enjoy it then you are likely to try it again! The first shot i like very much, If the Bee had been a little further up in the zone of focus then it would be a great shot, Though purists at this kind of photography would probably say the Bee ought to face...

Trying to be Imaginative
I like the first very much think I may have cropped in so the image was filled with the pink hair like bloom, may also have rotated it to the left so the bee was walking up, but then it would be my image and not yours. :) The other two do not seem to have a point of focus, nothing stands out, t...

Pampas Grass
I love the first one! I know it's considered "bad form" by some to have an area of a picture blown out but it doesn't bother me, I think the Sun's rays really make the picture. :D Not so keen on the second one - the overhead leaves clash too much with the grass and make it a bit too busy to find ...

Brum Walkabout
I had a few hours to kill, so took a walk around Birmingham city centre with no preconceived idea of what to shoot. There's always something going on. Here's the best of what I came back with. Comments very welcome... especially suggestion for improvement.

Typhoon - Bournemouth Air Festival 2009
cracking images Mike, I love the greyish tone of the sky you have on that background although the other ones also are very nice. Would have loved to be there but unfortunately no bigma for the K20 and even if I had one I bet my images would have come all blurred. Got to hit the gym again as soon...

Typhoon - Bournemouth Air Festival 2009
Not bad at all Mike. I was at Shoreham trying to get the "reference" Eurofighter picture I.E. reheat in focus, airframe sharp and a substantial dose of Prandtl Glauart Singularity (the cloud effect above the wings at high G and sort of managed it but as per my post elsewhere, it is not currently ...

Vulcan At Bournemouth
Great Pictures. I saw this fly over the Isle of Wight yesterday at about 4:30. Typically it came over seconds after I had got back into the car and put the camera away to get onto the ferry! Probably not much over 100ft and you could see straight into the cockpit. Obviously on its way to the Bour...

Have a look in my flickr site (as below) and there's a set there called lensbaby. It's an interesting tool but I'm struggling to use it well. It needs bright sparkly things to work best. I think this one might have worked with some sunlight and better focus at the top. Don't suppose you're a m...

Missed this thread, I've posted on Flickr Mike. I don't think it's working too well with your usual approach to detail shots. You've spoiled us with beautifully sharp images of this style so it's jarring toi see the LB effect in these. If you can combine a detail in plane of focus, against a smoo...

Is it cheating?
Cheating? you mean like putting another sky in an image in a traditional B&W darkroom? Image manipulation is all down to personal preferance and how much of a purist you are, some will think it OK to stop at nothing as long as they feel the end result justifies the means, others will endevour to ...
