Learning Shutter and Aperture priorties.
Thanks guys. I used auto focus, and opted for a faster shutter speed as it was windy, so trying to keep all in focus and fine tuning it manually is something I still trying to master lol. Just to make sure I get this right, a wider aperture is a lower F number right?

From the village graveyard (5 images)
Number 4 is my favourite too, nice textures and nice frame. 5 is pretty good too :) I like the ladybird but perhaps a bit too much OOF stuff in front of it. The cross is nice and sharp (nice woodwork too!). The only exception IMHO is (pardon me) the first shot, where I'm not sure what I'm supposed t...

Non-qualifying
This is a great photo, i-berg. The composition of this subject makes for an interesting image and i'm drawn in by it. In fact, it is a very nice composition and study of this kind of subject. I like your focus on the geometry of it and the angles of all those struts and strings, it has depth. The b...

Non-qualifying
Thank you to everyone - Paul, I appreciate you going the extra yards with this. The flat / yellow / muddy was my poor attempt to 'age' the image, using LR 3. Yours is a better image. Speaking of walls Alun - the eucalypt is a painting on the back wall of the storage facility - it was the one ar...

tug of war 4 images
These are great Iqbal. I like the dof effect in the first, the backlighting in the second, and the expressions caught in the last. But the third would have been 'shot of the day', if only the focus was perfect! Nice exposures and tones.

A few with the 10-20
I haven't posted anything for a while, so here are a few taken from Saturday's walk with the dog. The weather was changing back and forth, from clear and sunny, to overcast. I didn't intend to take any pictures of the dog, as the 10-20 isn't the best for this job. However seeing as she posed r...

test shot
I don't mind the background too much although it does seem a little dated :) More importantly for me though is that her eyes don't seem to be quite in focus, but her bra is! :lol: Which bit were you focussing on? :lol:

test shot
Well I quite like it actually. It suits Gerri's colouring. It is old fashioned but maybe that is the new fashion? I agree her lovely eyes aren't in focus though.

test shot
I think Jill Greenberg had some commercial work with these types of busy backgrounds a couple years back... lenscrafters ads, I believe... saw it somewhere.

Woodman Point
The first two are fantastic action shots. No 3 is good in parts, I like the back lit sail but I'm not so keen on the burned out area around the cloud. David

At the bullring
A great set of images David, number one has that special something about it that keeps pulling me back to it. They are all interesting and strong compositions IMO.

Sunflower (1 image)
Drove past a patch of sunflowers yesterday, I love 'em, had to stop to snap a few piccies! Unfortunately it was very windy but managed a couple of in-focus shots :D (click for full size)

Tiny but beautiful
Lovely colours and shape. It's the out of focus leaf in the bottom right which slightly mars the effect for me.

Finch Foundry
Are they still trying to raise money for restoring that side wall? :) I think it's been done: the place was out of action a couple of years ago, but is fully functioning now. Lucky you to have access to a cottage in Sticklepath! As for Photobox... 1) reduce image size first 2) create a new name...

PPG and other stuff.
I have just got back from a few days back home in the UK, to find I've just had my 9th picture accepted by PPG, which I know is nowhere near the number some of you have, but I am pleased none the less! Also Schmap asked to use one of my pics of the Lowry Theatre, and best of all a UK-based company t...

Interesting lock
I knew Andrew would like those levers :) I promise if I'm back next year there will be a very sharp pic of it :) It really wasn't easy and I'll admit my hand was shaking badly while I grabbed it - I then had all the crockery to put in the cupboard

Quite pleased with my £15 Centon 1.7
Thanks for the feedback guys. It's funny - I had'nt really thought that her right cheek was overexposed; but I've just viewed the image on my laptop, and yes it does indeed appear overexposed. But on my LCDTV it looks fine. I actually like the hand in the foreground. If it was closer to her face ...

Quite pleased with my £15 Centon 1.7
Perhaps a smidgeon more dof would be better as a portrait shot, but you chose the focus point well, and I actually quite like the fact that only her eye is in focus. Good buy.

Quite pleased with my £15 Centon 1.7
Nice shot Bob. Is that at f/1.7? I really like the way only one eye is in focus, reminds me of how they used to do portraits with large format cameras and slow film. I don't think the face is blown out, you always get highlights in B&W anyway and having the face darker would achieve nothing. The ...
