Bank Holiday Seedathon
All comments welcome chaps. Couple of issues with focus: I was as close as ten feet with the Sigma at 200mm for the first one. The depth of field wasn't enough to cover the depth of the birds. Could not move position to get a different angle as I was jammed up against a fence, trying not to m...

but do you know why they call them Forget Me-Nots because once you get them in your garden you cant get rid of them:shock: Damn things are worse than weeds! Didn't know that either. But I remember somewhere I saw a bed of these along the borders in a back garden and I was stunned with the beauty. ...

Firstly, I love number one. But, there are a couple of leaf tips which look in focus even the the buds in between aren't. Is this DoF or a PP thing? I can't say why, but they distract me. Secondly..what do you mean by IQ? Surely it's not an intelligent camera? :? :lol:

If you stand, it will land
The contrast along the back of the main pigeon is interesting - to me it almost looks like a cut-out placed against that background (I know it's not! :) ).

London's Statues & Monuments #1
Lovely conversion, Pauly. My favourite statue in London is the one in Whitehall with all those women's uniforms hing up. Brilliant and very moving. Also love Churchill's, Richard the Lionheart's and Bodica's (can't spell her name). Great idea and a real challenge if they're not to be a series of ...

London's Statues & Monuments #1
It'll be an interesting project and a challenge Paul, I look forward to seeing the results. I have a fascination with War Memorials and was contemplating a similar project. I find bronze statues/monuments quite a challenge as they are so dark that getting good lighting and exposure is difficult an...

Inside Concorde
Nice pictures Davex. Flight decks are not the easiest places to take pictures. The red buttons are not normally too bad. The ones to watch are the yellow and black ones, especially when they are attached to the chair you are sitting on. Useless Concorde fact:- the fourth picture shows the engi...

Like the doors Emma, old in new - the 'soldiers' in the brickwork have so much character. There appears to be lots to go back there for you.

Few I just found
I like the first one, Ems. The sepia toning works very well lending the scene a timeless air. The second one doesn't work for me: it's the out of focus foreground. Nice place, though. Best wishes, Andrew

It is a very weird and wonderful place I wanted to take more shots but was unsure if I could walk over to where I wanted too. May go back I really wanted them shots

I hope you get back there again Emma, it is a magical place. Glad to hear you can still go up. My sister-in-law lives not so far away, but somehow there is never time for such trips when we visit her.

Sunset on the rocks
Good strong colours, spot on focussing and a fine composition, but the windmills bother me, Yep, the windmills were bothering me, but I thought I'd say nothing and see what the feed back is. You've confirmed my gut instinct :wink: Nothing I can't clone out. and about 3 inches in from the left th...

Sunset on the rocks
I actually didn't even consider making the windmills the subject. I did have my tripod with me, but this one was taken low down to the rocks and my tripod doesn't go that low. If I remember correctly, I think I rested the camera on a rock for support. As for the horizon...I think it is, but I'll ...

Sunset on the rocks
OK folks. I took on board your comments and re-did the PP. I couldn't go back and re-take the shot yet, so the windmills couldn't be made more prominent, so I cloned them out. I sorted the "bump" and a few other errors ( how did I miss them first time:oops::oops: ). Another one I took on th...

This shot was taken mid afternoon in my back garden.

They positively shine with that back light. The yellow adds the interest, it wouldn't have worked as well for me without that flower - good choice.

Fantastic light and that dark, dark back ground makes them sing! (How easy it is to take "Dutch Bulb Field" shots of tulips; how hard to do something special like this. Lovely stuff! Andrew

Plas Tan y Bwlch
It would make a nice square shot, Emma, but I wanted the out of focus blooms to draw the eye down to the sharp ones. That's my excuse anyway, and I'm sticking to it!
