Beach runway
I'd say the distant hills and sky don't quite work and that heavy shadow across the runway disrupts it too much. Also my own very personal feeling is that the DOF needs to be one thing or the other. Either very shallow or very deep, as it is the out of focus areas aren't blurry enough. But that's p...

old doorway
I agree with Tim, but I'd certainly be careful and probably do it selectively, maybe using burn and dodge. It's also a bit "tight", compositionally, with the right-hand side of the door needing a bit more room. Can't understand why the bottom left corner is out of focus, it's not that close to the c...

Weekend in Barrow
Impressive knowledge... yes it is, but I thought the title would be too long, if I said Barrow-in-Furness and Ulverston. You've caught me out :wink: Only because I was their recently, visiting Photoexpresslakeland worth a look if your back that way.

Two lucky shots (Macros again)
Everything always runs away when I point my macro set up at it. So there I was chasing this poor little jumping spider around the house the other night when it suddenly stopped and turned back as if to look at me ! and I managed to get these two shots K200D and SMC - 50mm Macro on t...

Two lucky shots (Macros again)
Second one came out a little better but I love the first shot. Hope you don't mind but did a little work to make it pop a little more (and cloned out a couple of little bits). Thanks Mike, I did try to pull it back using curves but I was nowhere near as successful as you. Can you tell me what you d...

Then last one is as you say terrific but the blown out sky does it no favours :) The figure does give it a real boost. The focus isn't quite right though IMO - good to be on rock but it seems a little muddled. Number three for me with some extra PP to give it more bite and rein in the background....

Hi thanks for the comments. Had a fair bit of trouble sorting highlights and blown out areas in a few photos from that day, something i need to be aware of in future. Unfortunatly i dont think No.3 is in focus, i was getting ahead oh myself and dont think i was letting the SR sort itself out before ...

Step by step instructions for posting using Flickr
This comes up fairly often and so I thought I would post this here. Perhaps a mod might like to make it a "sticky" :?: :) K. Assuming you have already uploaded the photo to flickr: 1. Go to the photo page in Flickr (the one with the comments box etc) 2. Click on the all sizes button. The ima...

Step by step instructions for posting using Flickr
Thanks again, Tim. I have it now. You have to grab it, click BBCode button, then go back and highlight HTML again!- Daft! It was easier before. I don't like that it automatically links back to your Flickr page from here, either. I do wish Flickr hadn't changed things.

Step by step instructions for posting using Flickr
In IE I just right clickthe picture, select properties, then copy the web address and paste that betwween the image tags. That works too :) it's just you need to do quite a lot of clicking on Flickr to get to some of the image sizes (e.g. the new 640 long size). I see that Mowog has linked the rathe...

Shot from first wedding shoot
Thanks Pink. I tried bouncing flash of the ceiling. It was really tricky as the ceiling was panelled wood. There wasn't a lot of light bouncing back from it.

Shot from first wedding shoot
Hello mike, I did many weddings both as a restaurant manager and maitre chef over the 40 odd years in the industry,but none I was responsible for until I had learned from my mentors.It is a great responsibility , and like photographing the day , no real way of turning back the clock to "do it ove...

How did he react when the flash went off? david Looked, and went back to cleaning himself - quite possibly he had just finished eating.

Impressive! Where was this taken? Luckily the flash didn't make him do Down in Southern Africa - just a couple of days back. He looks like a "teenager" so may have been pushed out of the pride. A little way away we also found a group of three females.

Glass Heart
Hi Impotentspider, The black "fruit bowl" is in fact two candle holders, I tried to show that these were not visible through the glass. You are correct the light in the top left is a glass door, that reflects the light back. I am trying to get the manual focusing correct, so now having got used ...

New friend
Matt, its a good picture, but everything is in focus. A shallower DOF would have been much nicer.

Something fishy...
As usual with extreme wide angles: the effect is interesting, even startling but often not very pictorial, if you know what I mean. I like the idea of the frame here, bending round the view. A hard lens to use well, I'd have thought. I'd keep getting my feet in the shot! Have you used your Helios...
