Lovely colours in all of them - I guess that's the light. They're also all pleasingly crisp images. Compositionally, I find 3 the most interesting, though 2 is more interesting subject-wise. For me 2's slightly let down by A. the narrow crop & B. the bird on the left being too close to the edge. I l...

Recent holiday in Poole
Thanks, guys. Really appreciate the comments. Matt, yes Poole is a lovely place to be. My wife and I absolutely love that area. The peacock was indeed on Brownsea Island. That parcticular one was hassling us for food. You can just about make us out at our picnic table in the reflection of his eye...

Whitby Goth Weekend 2009
Great shot Barrie and to think I only took a side profile of her face.:roll: Although I would be good to see a colour version, she has striking red hair. This is my version, although it is not the focus is a bit soft.

More cylinders!
Well if you want a totally honest opinion Tim..... No1 I think the white area in the top left corner ruins the shot, apart from that I think its great, contrast is spot on. No2 Works better for me in landscape format (rotated anti-clockwise), again I love the contrast. No3 As Ted say it nee...

More cylinders!
Thanks everyone! I think I currently favour number 2, as I also am not too keen on the white backgrounds in numbers 1 and 3. However as with all these things my favourite changes from day to day :) I would have liked to get the central hub in number 3 in focus but it was so gloomy in there that I...

C&C on extensive cloning
Amin, Unfortunately I don't have much time these days - preparing tutorials takes a fair while! You could ask Tim if he'd email the PSD file - that'll help. However, here are some basic suggestions and ideas: * ALWAYS keep the original image - never modify it. Keep it on a layer so you can c...

One for the Fans
They were the mutts nuts weren't they, eh Mat. No band now even comes close to what they did back then. I was into the whole scene and I wished that it could've gone on forever. Nice to know you were into 'em likewise. Regards. Pearl Jam were my second fave band of that time, and Eddie Vedder a...

Colchester Zoo (probably a repost!)
Thank you guys. Tim, love your shots too. Very sharp 8). Either most of mine are a tiny bit out of focus or I just need to apply more Unsharp when processing. :?

Truro cathedral looking up - commments please
Hi All Tried to shoot inside a cathedral yesterday (Truro, Cornwall)for the first time. I'd welcome any comments as I'm keen to learn. I found it very relaxing - organ playing and calming atmosphere all round - and a challenge as I had to forgo the flash and make sure I didn't intrude on the g...

Truro cathedral looking up - commments please
Jon, I'm not the best technician and so others will have more considered opinions. I'd prefer a less exposure personally just a notch darker. They look good though and give a good sense of the place. What aperture were you on? The focus has good depth but slighty soft? And welcome. If y...

Truro cathedral looking up - commments please
Since you had premision to use a try pod I would have gone for HDR, that works very well in a church. I do like how you compose the shots though, it shows you how big the church is. Only with your last shot you choosed your focus point wrong, it's to close. You should have placed it around th...

Truro cathedral looking up - commments please
Also, with regard to sharpness, can someone please explain what is meant by "focusing 1/3rd of the way into the frame" ??? This is always mentioned in the guides, but how does this relate to the real world??:?: Hello Jon I said that I believe. It has to do how to most effectively placing your focus...

Colour, B&W, work on it or bin it?
Can't make my mind up about this (shot with DA12-24 & K20D, f16, 1/25, ISO400). The choices are: a. Colour b. B&W c. Work on it - I wonder if this needs a more obvious focal point? This place is just down the road, so I can go back easily, with the aim of putting something else inside t...

Colour, B&W, work on it or bin it?
A for me, there is more contrast in that photo and the papers/cloths on the other side acts there as a focus point because of the colours that doesn't come back anywhere else in the photo. Using the pillar for framing works really well and it gets you into the photo. What is that on the other ...

Pigeon Posing in front of 80-320mm
The only thing wrong with the 80-320 is its tendency to hunt for focus, apart from that I find it an excelent lens, In the past I have sung its praises by saying the quality is better than the considerably more expensive Bigma, though to be fair I am comparing these at 320 and 500mm respectively. I...

Pigeon Posing in front of 80-320mm
I think what fooled me in this shot is the light streak just over the back and the darkish one around the right side of the head. It looks a bit like cut out and stuck to the background. My suspicion was a darkening of the background. As for the sharpening, I don't think it is overdone, apart fro...
