My First Shot
Very good first shot Sam :) Compositionally it is a bit central for my taste. I can see what Gareth means about sharpness - it is reasonably sharp but not brilliant. The blurred edge of the right side petal tricks my mind into thinking more of the flower is out of focus. Still, it's a very good ...

Tamron 28mm MF (4)
Thanks for you all for your comments. Yes David, I was traveling light on Saturday. One camera one lens, quite a new experience. When I go out on a local shoot, say around Newcastle or Durham, these days I nearly always travel light with just one body and lens. For street photography its usually ...

First Mono (3 Pics)
Of the three I find this latest shot the most successful. There is enough space round your granddaughter's face and the contrast has improved. BTW I would never shoot mono in camera. If you shoot in colour you can always convert to B+W later. If you shoot in B+W you can't convert back to colour. O...

Windosill Studio
Nice fig Roger. Some more light on the interior of the fruit would focus attention more on that. The shadow is a good touch.

Holiday Pictures - Turkey
Thanks K10 & Smeggypants We literally only had five minutes in the room with the carpet makers, with quite a few tourists in one another's way :D I really like the carpet maker, Adrian. The views are pretty sound as well. Looks like a great place to visit. Turkey was indeed very nice, thanks And...

Redwood rays
As in "I was just poking around my back garden and stumbled across a stand of redwoods"? :D Probably coluor for me too, by a whisker. I would be tempted to just crop off the blown out bit.

Sunday morning stroll
I'm going to go against the trend and say I like the picture of the flowers! :D I notice you were back down to 100ISO for that one. The 2000 ISO shots are very clean. I never take my K20D over 400. Even that seems a luxury after 20+ years being stuck at ISO64... K.

Union Square
A pair of images that bring back so many memories. Why is it that NY always looks better in mono? Good stuff Kris. Regards

Thanks to the British Consulate taking forever to issue my lady love with her visa I have been there quite a few times this year. LBA has definitely had to be on the back burner. K.

Union Square
B&H is a nightmare, I hate it: big crowds, chaos, pushy sales people... Adorama is a smaller set-up but nicer to visit. They also have some nice second hand kit but it is often difficult to see what it is or what the price is. They had an FA* 28-70 attached to an MZ-S last time I was there but I c...

Two late evening shots.
Chris, I appreciate any comments on my photos and you may well be right. I sometimes feel I have reached a bit of an impasse in my photography, and want to move in a new direction , but am not sure what that direction is! These two were taken deliberately just before sunset, as I want to experime...

Two late evening shots.
Peter wrote: I am sure many of us get to stage where we can execute a sharp, well exposed picture, but then find it hard to go on from there, to develop our own "style" as it were. I guess that is why I was hopeless at art at school ! Well that certainly struck a chord with me, Peter. Apart f...

Gerberas - A different take (9 images)
Hope you dont mind Fiona... What I am trying to demonstrate with above is a simple rule; Fill the frame. Davex. Personally, I think your crop is much too tight :D If you are selling them, you need to think of your market. If you are targeting, for example, a greetings card company, images wit...

Isle of Skye
It is always interesting how other people see your images, I quite like the light on the light house but photography is such a subjective thing. Indeed the light is beautiful, it's the composition for me. The building is now really bordered by the rockscape and doesn't have much sky around it, if ...

Isle of Skye
Thanks Stefan, I very nearly purchased a Sigma 10-20mm before going away this year, this would have give me that wider feel. Standing further back was not an option, without diving gear that is :D.

Palladian Bridge, Prior Park, Bath
the highlights on the building look a bit blown to me....are they rescuable? Very well observed. I went back to the shot and checked the levels: the graph was perfect with highlights just right but using Shadow/Highlights adjustment brought back lots of detail in the stonework. Of course, if I was ...

Cannot disagree with anything said, but if you want to get some of that color back it is a 30-60 second fix to change the white background to a decent blue. Dunno if PSE allows for different draw modes, but hopefully the following will work for PSE Pick up the brush tool. Set the brush to abou...

First two shots are wonderful!.....the second two are out of focus in the foreground,the piles especially are rather off putting,and the eye is drawn to them.....but on the whole a really good effort...well done...........Ken
