Thanks, Stephen, the constructive crit. is appreciated (& understood!) Will try it all & get back. Do I need to resize the images by reducing the pixels x pixels numbers? Does that not decrease overall IQ? Thanks again, Roger.

Spot-on focus Don - and the bands really are blue too! Are these native to FNQ, or are you elsewhere presently?

40mm at work
Yes - I enjoy Av now :) I was surprised with the first one - it was on Auto and I had confirmation of focus and I had aimed on the flower head just under the centre - and it's just not quite in focus :( # 3 was a bit of a struggle - I was too close in for it and had to back out a bit before ...

40mm at work
Good choice for travel with the 40, T-T. The pancakes are travel friendly, of course. As to focus, there's no shame in focussing manually all of the time. Moving in and out from the subject with the whole camera is just one part of that experience, and one which I do often, especially for sub...

Design Classic #2.
Having taken i-Berg's advice. I present you with these magnificent images of five year old Adidas Sambas! :D These ones are long worn out. Filthy, battered, holed and falling apart. And they smell... indescribably!. But I cannot bring myself to throw them away. This pair are special. I bought th...

Invertebrate Quiz...
Hello all. Nice day today and I was in the Garden of Ham House snapping away. Was mainly looking for bugs and got a few macro shots, including these three... Not necessarily the best shots but I was wondering if anyone out there knows their bugs well enough to be able to say what these are:?: Fir...

A Misty Morning in Beaumaris
I wouldn't have those shots framed. But there are stories there made by the characters - and my eye is immediately drawn to them. I'm sat here in the middle of France and there's a well observed little slice of life back home. The other shots add context too. That's why I like the set. Becalmed...

Criticised for liking a photo.:shock: I never said these were great photos. But I enjoyed them and I think they work together. I don't see much wrong with that. Is this section only for technical experts to comment on photos? I'm a beginner. I have posted my own photos and I have appreciated t...

A Misty Morning in Beaumaris
Too much is made of technique. Photography is not just about composition, sharpness, depth of field and all that. For me, it is more about conveying a feeling, or telling a story. I like the first and last shots, for the reasons others have already given. It says 'Declining British Seaside town', p...

A Misty Morning in Beaumaris
I am guessing from the complete lack of reference to my post on here (apart from a brief mention by Thoughton) that either my opinion is not deemed worthy of comment, or I have perhaps over-stepped some line in etiquette. If so, I apologise. I was merely expressing an opinion. My comments were in no...

A Misty Morning in Beaumaris
I am guessing from the complete lack of reference to my post on here... Personally, I think your comments are interesting and valuable, so please don't feel ignored. As to criticism I generally follow this pattern: If I really don't like something or find it boring I usually say nothing. If I s...

A Misty Morning in Beaumaris
Getting back to the point of this thread: By The Seaside doesn't really do anything for me, it's a bit too cluttered and doesn't seem to have a definite focal point. Had the man been more prominent maybe that would have been resolved. Becalmed is superb. Very subtle, which you don't see often ...

A Misty Morning in Beaumaris
I've hesitated to comment - 'cos I can't on technical stuff. Having said that I have to say I really do like the first one - By the Seaside and the other The Ticketbooth . Here's why They tell us something about what is fast becoming the past. These are scenes that most of us know fr...

Thanks Pentaxophie - I've had some other discussions about the cropping being sloppy which was entirely my fault, I could recrop and repost but that would be cheating :lol:, so will take more care next time! I like what you did with the last shot, didn't think about cutting it in half and making ...
