A Short Lesson in Composition
How's this for a weird coincidence? Cycled down to the beach this morning and saw the daffodil picture on the way back. Went for a short walk on the Mendip Hills this afternoon and saw the line of trees. Spring in the Suburbs Hedgerow Strange. (Both pictures with my K100 and Ha...

A Short Lesson in Composition
I'm not mad about either of these as stand alone pictures, to be honest. I took the dafs because (although I love them) they were planted in this sad bedraggled line along the bottom of a very dull fence with no artifice or guile. The second one on the hills just kind of jumped out at me this...

Mallard in flight

British Museum drop-in
As Emma observes: great place, but hard to get good shots. There's problems with white balance as well as low light levels. I'd go back and get another shot of the chessmen (I too love them) this time sharp. The masonry is good and well lit. The first two need a bit of a contrast boost, I think....

British Museum drop-in
Thanks Emma and Andrew. I'll definitely be going back to try another shot of the chessmen - I just couldn't resist posting it as I thought the front chap's face was a picture. I'll try boosting the contrast on the top two as well - it's great to get an independent view as I sometimes stare at pictur...

Can't sleep
Lovely focus and depth. Beautiful expression but, you're right, Stefan, I do think it's a bit dark for the subject matter. Regards, Andrew P.S. Get some sleep! It was nearly midnight when you posted this!!!

What a differance help makes
Paul I never said I claimed to invented to do it this way only that I use it. In my first comment I said this: this the result of my default way of sharpening. It's a method Matt explained on this forum 5 years ago with an darken layer. Basicly it's unsharp Mask with a layer above with the ble...

Around the house
Thanks Martin, I'm a bit dense technology-wise at times, thanks for your help on that, I guessed it must be in there somewhere but I just didn't know where! Number 4 is my personal favourite, just like the simplicity of it. Thanks for you kind words too Andrew, they're not perfect by any means, b...

Unwell boy
Thanks folks :) Gareth and Paul yes that is his eqiuvalent of a comfort blanket. It's a rabbit-type thing (without back legs :shock:) which my wife bought for him before he was born. As you can imagine it's pretty manky now. Haven't yet come up with a plan for what to do when it gives up the ghos...

Left Luggage: Portmanteaux
Thank You Gary and Emma, I don't know what to say in response to your kind remarks. Due to circumstances beyond my control I've had time to work on my photography over the past few months (that's coming to an end soon when I go back to work, I'm glad to say!?!) I've also been encouraged, nudg...

A flower
Flashgun was at about 45 degrees, from what i gather the point of the inverted dome diffusers are to bounce off the dome and dispurse the light then back down and out through the sides, i've tried it directly at the subject and also at 90 degrees, 90 degrees was a bit softer and direct was just too ...

Single lens - Dee Why
I really like No 2, with No 3 a close second. I find No 1 a bit too busy and my eye doesn't settle on anything. Although I can see what you are aiming for in No 4 it doesn't "float my boat". I keep going back to No 2 though, just lovely. Best wishes, Kris.

Thanks for that chris it is a 35mm f2 at f2, camera focus showed green light for focus,would it be the lens as it was on a tripod (cheap one) but it did not have any remote.

A Gentler Pace
One that I entered in the comp. a week or so ago - this time without the popped colour. A 19th century sulky, slowly being eaten by termites under a box tree in Outback NSW. A friend of mine has lived his entire life on this property, and he recalls taking (driving?) this thing to primary ...

Out of the Light
How did you know I'd be keenly following this series?!? Lovely example and in off farm condition too, which is nice. I like the original metal "tyres": most over here have been replaced with rubber ones. This looks like it could be a runner, like the T20 I posted in the Gallery yesterday. Your...

stream/waterfall shot
I tried that, but threw it out because of that stone in the bottom left which annoyed me "sitting in space". But, coming back to it, it looks good. Really I should just have had more of the right hand side in it, been lower and about 50 cm further forward - but I'll get to that when I go back in the...

This morning
Felt a bit better , sun was out so hopped on bus and went to Town. Of course as soon as I did that the sun fled the scene and we were back to grey skies again. Took 64 pics on the K-x and I've kept 59 for a better look at them . Never managed this one with the previous cameras . I realise there's...

Building bits
Remember - this is my first DSLR - I'd only had a P&S till December . And once I was back in this country the weather shut me down :( Any outings since January 19 have only been to get my homework - and more times than not it was not the sort of pictures I like taking :( I got the camera sig...

Rainham Marshes
Nice shots Emma, the teasel especially as I have tried and failed to get one in focus many times :) I like the red sky pylon shot too! And Bob's version of your boardwalk shot, it's a bit over the top but I think that's what this otherwise quite mundane image needs.
