How did I get so close?
Can I see the out line of a mesh/chain fencing shadow on the second image of the bird? Where? On the back of its head in the last shot. Three shadowy lines with a sort of scalloped shape to them.

Short series, Goring Heath
They're all pretty interesting and certainly varied. The first one in particular has potential. It's easy to criticise, but the large area of bare grass in the front bottom right is a bit weak. I love the shape of the trees, though. I guess they're not long for this world but have a wonderful macabr...

Homework - Symmetry
this one has been a bit of a pain - I have a house [ Stately Home type which will do ] and this one. IF I get time I'm heading back to them this week for another go - I'm not totally convinced . The Tutor did warn us he was considered rather a...l on the topic - if it was meant to be symmetrical ...

The cross and cockerel
Hi Colin, My $0.20 worth of C&C as requested :D I've just checked out your exif from this pic: f1.7 at 1/4000 of a second. If this was correct, that means you had some room to move with a much slower shutter speed, while stopping down to a better (smaller) aperture setting. That will give...

The cross and cockerel
Colin, If you used spot metering on the cockerel, your camera may have been in two minds about whether to expose for the sky, or for the structure. I did see that the sky has some shades (darker to the left), so it is not totally 'blown'. At the same time, the building could have been a little ...

The cross and cockerel
Hi Colin, I agree with i-Berg and Andrew, I would be inclined to stop down a bit for a shot where you wish to bring both subjects into focus and also crop a tighter. Just a personal preference but I would also be inclined to recover some highlighting to bring up some atmosphere in the sky to add...

Atlantic Sunrise No. 3.
Thank you all for the kind comments. I got up early, set up on the beach in the half light and waited in the cold hoping something interesting was going to happen. It looked like it was going to be a bust and I almost packed up and went back to bed when... :) K.

Out to Grass
I know I only posted here yeaterday and I promise not to make a habit of it, but I took this on Saturday afternoon and, for once, got what I visualised. Had to climb a wall (in my condition: the lady wife wasn't pleased) but was rewarded with a brief shaft of sunshine which lit up these two lovely o...

Out to Grass
A wonderful list. Used to be milk monitor... This reads like a prose poem: an elegy to a long lost, simpler world. (Hope no one else reads this or we will be thought sad!) Thanks for making my day. Andrew (Blimey, I'd forgotten all about dubbin and those brown footballs that got all s...

Niece and Nephew
Nice set, I like them. Like Gary I think number one could be sharper, especially on the eyes. It looks to me like the focus point is on the hands.

If you've ever tried to do a series like this, particularly with little time allowed, you'll know just how hard it is. Successful studio work...difficult. This is a super set of pictures: I'm sure the girls were/will be delighted. They'll surely come back for more. Best wishes, Andrew

Post processing to match content and save an image?
After playing with the tractor image for bwichmawr it got me thinking about being a bit more heavy handed with my post processing and whether or not I could turn some average images into betters ones. So I thought I would go back throu my library and try some different methods or styles that matched...

Frosty Sunrise C&C
Two of the many shots taken yesterday morning on Druridge Bay, Northumberland at sunrise, your C&C please. I attempted several more with a graduated Cokin filter attached, this caused a problem with the sun reflecting off the lens back onto the filter, see number three.

Blue on blue
Thanks guys! I was hoping for bluer skies but despite checking back several times over a couple of hours had to make do with a small hole in the huge expanse of white clouds :) Edumad that's not a bad idea, I'll try a squarer crop there, thanks!

Odd angles
Tim, Perhaps try the second image in BW? It might take the focus away from an intrusive sky, and put it onto a great structure with some strong, photogenic lines. Alternatively, you could replace the sky using a mask? :)

Symmetry - part 2
OK - we may have another problem - my lack of skills with Bridge/ PSE :( . The first pic will I think be OK - will find a smooth cover for the box and table[ it's glass covered so need to hide the glare. Now should this background be pale or a deep [ not navy ] blue ? The second pic is more o...

Symmetry - part 2
OK . I was very frustrated last night about all this - actually just about ready to chuck it in :( However was steered back to the sort of pics I enjoy taking - so off this morning I went - camera , both lenses and flash unit . Reasonably happy with the results - I took about a dozen pics - one ...
