Big bug season is here (7 images)
Thanks for all your comments, especially with regard to sharpness. All of these were focussed manually but anybody who has ever used the Sigma 180mm will know how difficult it is to focus manually. To assist it, I stuck it on my Pentax macro rail to hopefully achieve better sharpness. In th...

Tatton Park
We had a day out to Tatton Park today, not to see the house, just a walk around the park. As we were all there, I couldn't concentrate strictly on photography, but got wht shots I could. I must say, I'm very dissapointed with the focus on almost all of them, but that could be down to using a long le...

First one for me. love the colour and texture. As for focus I can't see much wrong in 1, 2 or 3.

Tatton Park
Thanks guys. As for focus I can't see much wrong in 1, 2 or 3. Sorry, I didn't mean the focus on these, just the other 50 odd :roll:

Tatton Park
Maybe I did overcook it with the sharpening...I tend to do that. I'll go back and give it another look, adn try that crop , too.

Cascade de Jarraud
#'s 3 and 4 really appeal, #4 moreso. They do look a little flat though. Here, I kept detail in the white spot of the water by selectively 'dodging' that area, and brightened the image overall. I then added a slight soft focus effect. Hope you don't mind. Cascade de Jarraud - by DrOrlof...

Goth Meet Oct. 2010
i was surprised at spider noticing the horizon, when a good looking girl was the main subject Well actually my eyes were drifting down to look at her legs, then I realised you'd not included them in the frame so my eyes began to wander back up the picture, thats when I spotted the horizon:lol::lol:...

Goth Meet Oct. 2010
Hair raising Who said we only photographed the girls? That look Smile I photographed this lovely lady back in April and here she is again. She's a costume design student and part time model. Many of the girls are models and doesn't it show?

The Eildon Hills
Thanks techno, David & Alastair for your comments. :D That's the feel I was going for David, I originally had even less definition in the sky, to almost white. Pulled it back a tad. :) It was probably the mistiest I've seen it up there, Alastair, stunning and lucky :wink:, even though I didn'...

The Eildon Hills
I agree with davidtrout above - no 1 is best, but no 2 has that minimalist feel. My wife and I walked St. Cuthbert's Way a few years back - started rom melrose, up over these hills and on. They were in view for first 3 days walk. Andy

On my way to work
I keep getting frustrated on my drive to the office that I often see a view that I would like to photograph and can't be bothered to go back home and get the camera. So I've decided to put the camera in the car on a monopod and took these this morning. C&C welcome.

NG15 (five shots, reduced in size)
Thanks everyone. I'm so pleaased you liked them. The thing is they were all taken within a few minutes of each other after meeting my son off the train. The more I looked; the more was there to be seen. Other days I carried the camera for miles and literally didn't take a thing! I'm so lucky with...

NG15 (five shots, reduced in size)
Despite what others(the canikony lot) say this is the best standard lens on ANY brand and well worth using from time to time.8) Interesting you say this, HG. My only other experience of a made-for-digital kit lens is an 18-70 Minolta/Sony one which I used at work. It was nowhere near as good at the ...

Tanzania & Zanzibar - feedback on travel photography take two
We saw them at their den with their young. One of our camps was really close to the den, so we saw them early in the morning feeding the cubs and playing around.They were great. We also loved watching a pack in Ngorongoro playing in the water then one catching a bird mid air and running off with i...

Tanzania & Zanzibar - feedback on travel photography take two
I wonder how much Zanzibar have changed in the years since my visit, Are there still only two paved roads - one north from Stone Town and the one across? I also visited the other side for some days - still have fond memories of playing football with the kids and wathing fishermen carrying their ...

'barking' mad - a ramble in the park
Thanks Tim, pleasing to get a response on this one! The sky is bold and blue here, and even better 'out back', away from the coast and the cities. The tree you like is a lemon-scented gum (eucalyptus citrodora).

Oradour 'Martyr Village'
Many thanks for all the comments. I will be going back to try and improve. I have a 12-24 waiting and that will be just right. We live about an hour from Oradour. However, there is a very strong local connection with this event. On 9 June 1944 the French resistance (who were at their most ac...

Oradour 'Martyr Village'
These brought back so many memories, all of them sad. I used to play "war" with my friends when I was a small boy but a documentary about this place ended all that for me. When I was a student I went with a friend to Oradour but couldn't bring myself to take any pictures. I'm glad you did.
