Flower photos - good enough to sell?
Hi Fiona, on many occasions I've whiled away an hour in a big garden centre in my area taking photos, so I don't know if you even have to buy the plants :D The staff don't seem to mind and usually no one even says anything. I once had a member of staff start a friendly chat about it but it was along...

The flowers look as if they are past their prime. The composition and focus are okay though. To get your images to sell all aspects have to be perfect. Richard

Flower photos - good enough to sell?
Thank you Amin for your kind words, I am still waiting to hear back on my photos, but then I guess they get hundreds of emails a day! I have been to our town market today and picked up some beautiful Gerberas (my favourite flower), and also gone round to the art shop for some background card. Have b...

I hope this doesn't seem too harsh, but if I don't say what I think the comments may not be much use to you. I think there are some technical issues here that need attention. The first is depth of field. At the moment very little of these flowers is actually in focus. I'm not sure what aperture y...

I agree with John... nice try. lots of potential, but the tripod, sharpness, dof... just the technical aspects can be tweeked to up the game a bit.... you are effective getting into studio shooting here with intent to create salable images.... the technical details will matter more so than for t...

Much better. Dpending on how much you want in focus and how far away you are, f16 is ideal and f22 may take the edge off lens performance. However, it should still be useable and it's nice to have the option. Enjoy your dinner!

North Wales Trip (4)
No 3 is my pick Barrie. If the focus had have been slightly closer to the camera, to sharpen up the rocks near the tree, it would have worked even better.

These all seem slightly out of focus to me. The third one might benefit from some more saturation. Richard

First 3 are very good, but as Mike says it's number 3 that really takes the cake. The fantastic guarded eyes say a lot about life in captivity, a powerful image. A real shame about the missed focus on the eyes-front shot on Flickr.

PS Tim - agree with you on the 'front-on' shot on flickr. Was gutted to have missed the focus on that. Oh well, always next time... Cheers

Monkey World (6 photos)
We went to MW on the way back from a Dorset holiday. If you just walk around it you won't be very long. However, I would highly recommend catching the little lectures they do. The keepers tell you about the characters of them all, and a bit about their history. Fascinating stuff. You'd be there a...

Something Different in B&W
Coming back late yesterday from the World Expo, again - this time after playing tour guide and entertaining some Czech friends / clients of my wife's (and having some wonderful Czech food at the Czech Pavilion !) I spotted this couple coming down the opposite side of the escalator. Poorly lit, n...

Summer on its way out
:cry: That's what I thought when I saw this bright, sunny little flower with its back towards me. Taken with the K20D and the 55-300 last weekend.

Summer on its way out
There's not been much of a summer here in the Netherlands either, at least not in my bit of it. Nice shot Lidy. I love the colours, and your choice of the back of the flower. Yes very nice.

Welcome to my Nightmare
Waaaayy to austentatious for my taste but what an excellent example of a modern hot rod. The finish is brilliant and I love the detail in the wing mirrors. I think the wide angle works well on the front and side views but not so well on the back. The distortion of the white truck and the peo...

Sons first shot
Soft, focus appears to be beyond the bloom but rather nice composition and colours. The lad's clearly got potential.

A few from Kew
Hello again all. This weekend marks the end of my brief summer holiday from work (back on Monday:(); I had a good day at beautiful Kew Gardens on Thursday so here's a handful of shots from then. I was hoping for a nice sunny day but alas by the time I got there it was well and truly overcast and the...
