Autumn Journey (seven photographs reduced in size)
Thanks everyone. We did have a good day. The steam heat rising from joints between the carriages added to the atmosphere. The last trip back was in total darkness... A good set Andrew. The first two look soft? I'm not sure about the second one. On reflection it isn't as sharp as I'd like it to be....

Suffolk Workshop Pics (4 images)
I did click it, but then it went to a full page Flash animation. I waited a few seconds for it to start but it didn't so I closed it again! :) I've now been back with more patience. Nice pics, much better for seeing them at full size (1600x1080?) I thought those huts looked familiar! A...

Tenerife Coast - warning - contains holiday pics!
Oh Will. These bring back so many happy memories for us. We first took our William there when he was four and got hooked on the place. We had such wonderful times there. Nice shots, by the way!

a-ha Sheffield Arena
Got to shoot a-ha at Sheffield Arena this week, now called the Motorpoint Arena, such is modern branding. Found out I had access 6-30 night of the show, start time was 8-30 so literally 2 hours to get ready & drive 75 miles to Sheffield. As always first three songs no flash. This was a real...

a-ha Sheffield Arena
Thanks Cabstar :) #2 is my favourite too. I wonder if cloning out the red light above his hand would improve it. I'm being picky I know but my eye is drawn to it. I like the others too, but that one is definitely the stand-out shot. It's because there's no cluttered background. it obviously ...

Comments appreciated. I'm back up there for two weeks from Monday. Will make an effort to show what Karratha/Pilbara is all about. Now worried that my flight back to the UK at Xmas may be snowed out??? Best regards

This torture for me...light, temperature, colour and, of course, SUBJECTS. Back to the rotting leaves on muddy paths...

More from the hip
This seems to be my latest pastime :) These were shot on the K5 during a 20 minute stroll around my office yesterday at lunchtime. I was very pleased with the comparitive lack of noise compared to my . I've added the ISO value for anyone who might be interested. These have all had minimal noise ...

Red Door
Monty, In my opinion the third one is most promising but the converging verticals spoil it a bit (again, in my opinion). The trouble with architecture is the straight lines! I've had a go at sorting it out, but the scale may be "out" as a result. As for the others... well the same thing appl...

Red Door
It's not anything to do with ISO or shutter speed or even aperture as these subjects aren't moving and you're standing square on to them. If you can then you need to hold the camera square on and level. A good example is the red gate. If you'd squatted down then the lens would have been in the middl...

Pentax Kr first photos
I purchased the Kr a week ago but have not been out yet to realy try it out the weather has been so bad lately over a foot of snow this morning here. Any way I took these from the bedroom window in poor light to be honest to try the camera out at different F numbers and thought you might like to see...

First ice of the year
Thanks for the comments. I like the 28-70 it is light and quick to focus- very useful on a cold day! I think that the mono shot works reasonably well, it was my attempt to do less is more by removing the colour. The difficulty, as always, is trying to catch a moment in time. I saw virtually ...

My First Outing..
Good to see your first Pentax image posted here Neil, and you picked a good one. You can size them up to 800 long on the longest side, on this site - they don't have to be quite as compact as you've made this one. Thanks, I did see it was a wee bit on the compact side, I thought I'd copied at 80...

Shameless :o(
Hello Everyone I have learned a few things in the last few days, these include the following. Now having a car with ASC/ESP/ABS/EBD etc takes away a lot of the fun of driving in the snow and ice but wow does it make a simple trip home easier - no sliding, no pirouette, no human input - seriou...

Hi Andrew The heron really caused me grief - I first spotted it pre 8am (camera was not reset from bst so it was 10 something not 11 something for the actual shot) and it either flew through very dark areas or landed repeatedly between myself and the sun. The shot caught was bizarre in that I...

Shameless :o(
I like three and four Stuey, as well as the moon and heron shots. The heron looks like he has a slight halo along his back? No. two has a shadow on the metal clamp between the two bolts, right where my eyes want to focus. Might be worth a re-shoot? I believe Andrew was probably wondering wh...

Field view, winter
The ND filter did improve the sky somewhat, it was because I chose to change the proportion of sky to ground that informed the crop. The intention was to focus the eye more on the intriguing lines in the field. :)
