Wigwell Aqueduct / Annoying Path Closure
I went down to my Dad's memorial seat down by the river Derwent (near Wigwell Aqueduct) on Sunday. It's a simple gritstone slab, tucked unobtrusively under a tree facing onto an energetic stretch of the river where he used to love casting a fly in pursuit of his beloved grayling. I like how the benc...

Wigwell Aqueduct / Annoying Path Closure
Some friends of mine in Bishop's Stortford recently encountered a similar situation, but after a few letters back and forth to the council they managed to get it declared a right of way. I'm hazy on the precise details, but it involved gathering evidence that the footpath had been in use by the gene...

K10D + Vivitar 28mm f2.8 + idiot = ?
Hello The first two pictures are from Aberdaron last weekend, not sure of the name of the island though. :P The last picture was taken at Whistling Sands. We just seemed to get lucky with the weather. :D Back home near Llangollen did not get so lucky with the weather, so I believe :(

More from last weekend
Hello The picture of the kite was a snapshot so the fact that there is any foreground detail was by accident not judgement :D The second shot was taken whilst watching over my son and niece, I had to keep close to them but keep them out of the shot so I snapped this quickly wihtout much thoug...

Pictures using my Tokina RMC 300mm F5.5, M42
Hello Both pictures were taken hand held but on a very bright day :D For £16.00 plus postage I am not going to complain :D (from evilbay) The exposure meter in the camera seems to like this lens :lol: It's not all good though the dreaded purple fringing can appear in back lit shots etc ...

Picture using my NPS 400mm F5.9 M42 lens
Thank you. The lens is excellent (when you get the manual focus bang on) considering it's age and cost, I am happy with it. I bought this and the Tokina 300mm to practice with longer lenses and to help decide if I would use something such as a Sigma 150-500, thing is I have no immediate plan...

Feedback please
Hello I like all of them. I agree with the comments above and would guess that picture one looks a little soft due to the movement of the head as a result of eating :wink: It's hard to tell without enlarging the pic but my guess is that you had focus and the depth of field just about righ...

A little unusual...
Back to good old nature Dave, what a good reminder that milk doesn't come from a cardboard box! I was trying to get shots of lambs with their mothers last week - not quite as succesfully as you though (see the 'More Milk' thread to be posted shortly).

Trackrod Rally 2010
Number Five for me. Car sharp, wheels blurred, loads of action. I think the reflections help as well. No 5 for me too. (Isn't it a crop of no 6 though?). I've never been to a ralley, though I'm often at track events. Is it possible to pan with the car through the hairpin? - I'm not sure if it wou...

Fenced off
Thanks Doc, Fr Ted and Jon. I've looked at it anew, I can see what you mean re the crop / proportion of sky to the rest. I've also re-checked the original raw image side by side with the processed image: same sky, including around the sun. I wish I knew a way I could post the raw file so you cou...

The foreground is way too dark on my monitor leading to an unbalanced shot. Shame, as it has great potential. Bring back colour print film with its exposure latitude! (Not really.)

Dartmoor (six pictures, all reduced in size)
Thanks everyone for your kind comments. alun, the horizon appears sharper than it was (I think) because of the sharpening I applied in Photoshop which tends to enhance the contrast between light and dark areas. Huw, (always great to welcome you back for a visit). I really must get into graduat...

Dartmoor (six pictures, all reduced in size)
Mannesty: this link is so useful. I always use this technique when I want maximum depth of field. Of course, it's so easy using my ancient lenses as the distance and aperture scales are so clearly inscribed. I think if you're quite old and brought up in the days of manual focus you learn this approa...

Salt water fish (we keep coming back to water) I tried to pan this shot, you've no idea how hard it is to do that with a shark. Does anyone know of someone else trying, i wonder if they did better :oops:

In the garden (ten images)
Nice set Kris! I have been out taking shots of cobwebs this morning too but not sure if they'll turn out well... I really like the webs in shots 2 and 3 here, especially the way the web is constructed with some little triangles at the junctions of the web silk. And I particularly like leaf and pondw...

An interesting and effective series of shots, Kris. What this shows is that, with the right eye, one can find a wealth of photographic opportunities (literally) in one's own back yard. No need to travel to Romani, New York, Colorado... O.K. I'd like to go to these places as well! And what a fanta...
