A few from the Bahrain Open 2010
Well done, very nice shots (photo not golf if you know what I Mean) As our Bahrain sports reporter are you going to the F1 GP next weekend? Many thanks for the comments gentlemen. As for the F1, it is a closed shop. You would not be allowed longish glass even as a spectator. I did the practice s...

Something Nice for a Change
A simple question for you Andrew, why did you take these photos? Stefan, that's a really difficult question. I usually have a camera with me. Sioemtimes I go out specifically with the aim of taking a set of photograpsh, the Boys' Village near St Athans is a good example. Other times we're just o...

Something Nice for a Change
The lady wife reckons I'll get a bad reputation for only posting depressing shots of depressing, run-down, graffitied places Sorry...but the Missus is dead wrong, in thinking that.:wink: I do like the set you posted here, though. And to come back to the "Mono" question....? You know the answer t...

SMC F 35-70mm f3.5-4.5
Got one of these today - thanks Cabstar! It's a very strange looking lens, but I like the compact size. Amazingly cheap for an AF lens. The range of the zoom is quite useful despite being a bit limited. And it seems quite sharp and punchy. The faux macro works well. I think this might a keeper. I ne...

SMC F 35-70mm f3.5-4.5
Some lovely pictures amongst these: I guess that's the photographer in you making sure that even if you're just "testing" a new lens, you can't help taking a decent photograph! It's sharp too: I particularly like the close-ups. A surprisingly useful range, too. I have a Sigma 28-70 mf zoom whi...

Bright light HDR
I agree with the "rich in colour" Andrew, but I did want to leave it "as converted" in Photomatix. As a starting point, it shows what can be achieved and then could be re-worked to bring the colours back to normal. This was my first try with the software. I have another shot lined up which will b...

Some Street
The first one's okay - nowhere obvious to rest the eye IMO and ideally the two women bottom right would have been in focus. I like the second - a great combination of elements, just a pity about the guy in the shade.

All That Remains
Hi Colin, Thanks for your kind remarks. Gareth (of Cardiff fame) explained the "new" sharpening technique after various people remarked on my unsharp photos. It's quite simple really. Do what you have to do as regards cropping, colour boost, levels etc. then make a copy of shot in layers. G...

All That Remains
Stunning Andrew, simply stunning. They knock you back with their poignancy and mood, the evocation of so many thoughts regarding what happened there. They all look almost apocalyptic, post war, that kind of thing. Really, really moving stuff and the technique you have applied just makes the shot eve...

This week's excercise
I recognised that instantly, but I won't say :wink: Numbers 2 and 4 look a little soft to me. Sorry just read your reply. Soft as in slightly out of focus.

This week's excercise
I cant tell what it is and I suppose that is some "measure" of your success:lol: As for the softness is it possible that your getting in a little bit too close? Remember your lens will have a minimum close focus distance, try backing off and then cropping the image to get the desired effect, or i...

This week's excercise
Those pics are well and truly cropped so I don't give the game away . And Father Ted was wrong with his guess :D. umm sort of :P Now as to the focus problem - I'll try again tomorrow when the light is good again . To my surprise I did actually have a green hexagon for all those . The focal...

This week's excercise
Now I am reading properly:D Forget the cheap extension tubes, they wont have a coupler for stopping down the aperture, and as niether the 18-55 or 50-200 have aperture rings youd be shooting wide open, not an ideal situation for what your doing. Great minds think differently on occasion Andre...

One (or two) from North Wales
Oh Howard...to see Cwm Idwal again... with that lovely sky. Nice scan. Did you climb up through the Devil's Kitchen or just walk around the lake? Regards, Andrew Thanks Andrew. We walked up to the top and looked into "Devil's Kitchen" then back round the lake. We had our then 8yr old son wi...

One (or two) from North Wales
Have not seen anything from you recently:(:( Hi Howard, Yes, I've not been around the forum much recently for a couple of reasons really... The weather whilst seemingly good for landscape photographs (at least the snow) has actually stopped me getting out as much as normal, I've found th...

Glass abstracts
The first one does it for me! Great detail and contrast. It reminds me of one of those sulfurous hot springs photos that peter (?) brought back from Yellowstone not long ago.

More from sunny(?) Girona
It was interesting that the only other DSLR I saw on Monday was Pentax K10/20, couldn't be sure which my glasses were waterlogged! I wonder where the Cannons were?:lol: One more from Monday. and some from Tuesday Girona (Gerona) is a very picturesque old city, I must...

Opteka 85mm f1.4
Thanks for the comments. No lighting skills involved at all, just exposure ones :) I put the vase on a black floor with the miniature roses lit by window light and set the camera to underexpose by 3 stops to bring the the image way down the 'D log E curve', if that term still appies in digital, t...
