Welsh Castles
I was recently in north Wales and got the chance to have a look at some of the fantastic castles they have there. I thought I would post some pictures here. Overall I think I have failed to do them justice, but I'd be interested to know what anyone else thinks... As often seems to be the case at the...

Spotted in the Mall
Thanks lads I had thought about that but it comes back to the same thing, anyway now it's fixed and working fine but I don't trust it and I had to strip it again because the super glue stuck one of the pins to the plastic, after stripping it and I see all that is needed to repair it it's just the p...

In Whitechapel today...
This is one of those pictures I hate. I can't think of anything to say about it, other than (very) nice pic! G George, I recommend the word "dissonance". The particular dissonance I see is the way the four apparently live, yet lifeless faces are looking so intently at (but not quite directl...

First pictures with the 16-45
Thank you all for your kind words and time! I really appreciate it and will take all the advice to heart! @MarkD: there's nothing wrong with being an armchair critic. :wink: When I read your comments I thought a number of times: OMG, why didn't I think of that myself! :oops: :D Thinking back, I ...

Light and shadow
Not much seems to be in focus in the first one. When the subject is a bit ill-defined, as here, you need to use a smaller aperture and thereby increase the depth of field. In my view it would look better if all the central berries were in focus. Green and red are a good colour combination, and ...

Light and shadow
Thanks, George, I appreciate your comments. In the first picture I was focusing on the rightmost berry. Now it's a bit too late for a retry, maybe next year :) (it was taken in August). Interesting suggestion though, I didn't think about larger DOF. Next time I'll try more settings so I could com...

Popping - Good or bad?
Well....I am a firm believer of the "subtle" approach.(when it comes to this kind of PP) All I did was desaturate the whole picture, add a mask in Gimp and paint back the leaf. The colour was already there.

Scrach my beak
You did well to get the focus spot-on. Nice capture. G

Your shots are crisp and full of action. My only comment is that a smaller aperture would throw the background more out of focus, which I think would be helpful. G

A nice walk
James - Yep I was sitting on a wall as they approached and shot with the 21 which was wide enough that I felt I would get the shot. Pre focus and auto exposure which was a gamble. Mhuni - I agree about the empty cloud but as you say not much I could do. I have another crop that includes full leng...

Shuttleworth Autumn Air Show 04/10/09 - Flying Display
Some very nice shots there, They bring back lots of fond memories! The Anson looks great and the SE5a has got a cracking sky but it`s the Piston Provost that tugs on my heartstrings the most! Best Regards - Pete.

Shuttleworth Autumn Air Show 04/10/09 - Flying Display
Well I've just logged on and noticed 2 pages of comments and thought those images have gone down well - then I read what they consisted off! :D I have noticed those patterns as well but have no idea what caused it. I thought at first that it might have been the fact that I used a skylight filter...

Shooting Birds... I have been having a play!
Yes I could of cropped in that manner but I personally like to have it with the water droplets coming off the back of the goose in the frame than loose them or make the goose smaller to accommodate them! Spose it's personal choice and also on my part a bit of shooting fast jets coming out! I norm...

Clouds Across the Moon
Points taken Chris I will go back to the drawing board again and improve my few attempts at the moon shot. Regarding cropping, I didn't imply that Father Ted didn't crop at all, I advised him not to crop "heavily". His image seems like he could have eased a little on the chopping board. Havin...

Happy World Pentax Day
TRue, I just wondered if it was CV or somesuch. I needed to change the front diff on the Disco but couldn't face stripping back to the CVs to ease the drive shafts out.
