Very New To This
Hi David Glad to be of help, just a small point, if you're using flash you could try using a diffuser on the head to soften the light a little, failing that bounce the flash off a nearby reflective surface instead of directly on the subject. It may also help to use the lens in manual focus to get...

Beautiful morning!!
Hello all. I seem to have a well-entrenched habit now of heading out into Richmond Park on a weekend and coming back with a card full of pics to process... and this morning, being an absolute cracker, was no exception:D I got a load of shots today and thought I would post a handful (as usual) -sti...

Wordsworth's view
Agree with the others re the rich colours. But composition wise, I find the back of the bench a bit bothersome to be honest. Not sure if its the angle of it, or just the fact it creates a 'barrier' in the shot. Very nice exposures though, and sharp as anything.

Poisoning Pigeons in the Park?
Pentax ES, S-M-C Takumar 28mm f/3.5 lens, XP2 Super, CVS dev and scan. This image is not as sharp as I would hope, given the lens I was using and it was shot at f/11. I hope it is just lousy CVS scanning. I'll redo them when I get back to the UK.

The first shots with my new K20d. Light wasnt brilliant but this place is only around the corner so can go back. Looks better bigger more sharper

K20D
The first one is a bit soft, and its not level either, but I think its worth going back for another go and if just around the corner then you can easily determine when the light will be at its best, try to get it when the light is hitting it side on, This one looks as if the entire scene was in shad...

Set 2 - Luthier's workshop
Violins 1 for me, the gradual focal decay and the intense grain on the first violin work well together, just a great shot. I also quite like the double base head & scroll shot although IMO the head could have done with a stronger light source creating more defined shadows on the workbench, also I...

Set 2 - Luthier's workshop
Thanks all for your comments. It's a good feeling to be able to showcase an artisan's work with photographs. TI - I should have tried the focus on those closer components as well - quite right. I don't have any lights, and this luthier's studio is not well lit, so I had to make do with what w...

Sir Geoff Hurst and the BMX Boys
One wonders how many of those little kids know who Sir Geoff I Scored a Hat Trick in the 1966 World Cup Final Hurst is. Thats what he said :D I suppose I should have titled it Geoff Hurst and the BMX young men but it didn't seem to have the same ring to it :lol: I also realised as I was leav...

Self portrait
Tim, I really feel for you. Being stuck in awful places like Hong Kong and Thailand. On the shot: It must have been very difficult on the timing. I think it works without the goggles, you should have held the eyes open, though. Focus is fairly good considering the set-up. I like the soft shape o...

Thanks guys! Ralf, Gareth, the timing was indeed a bugger. This was the only one out of around 100 shots where I achieved what I was after (the unbroken layer of water over my face). I wish my right arm was sticking out like my left arm:evil: It would have been easier if my wife had agreed to do ...

Vivtar Series 1 70-210mm
I'll give it a go in better light. Focus was "beeping" and viewfinder looked sharp? Regards

Vivtar Series 1 70-210mm
Hmm, I think you need to test it again, it should be better than that!? Looks like major PF in the first one, or some kind of purple cast anyway. The 2nd one looks like camera shake. The third one the lower right daff is in focus, the others aren't.
