A few shots of snow (melting) in the garden..
Adrian, There's plenty of potential in these shots but there's simply too much in each shot. The mass of crossing branches is confusing: the eye simply doesn't know where to rest. Similarly the background is very distracting and although out of focus is still too clear. I'm not sure who said "If ...

A few shots of snow (melting) in the garden..
Thanks guys I think this is exactly what I need, basically to rip me apart and tell me where I need to do better! :D I've not had the ultrawide fisheye for long so I'm still really learning how to use it in a more crowded environment. I also find myself forgetting about backgrounds quite a lot. I ...

A trip down the road early this morning
Oh silly me - I didn't check Flikr but just downloaded the shot *rolls eyes* I think I can see the problem - you have used Matrix (multi-segment) metering which tries to evaluate the whole scene. Someone please correct me if they think this is the wrong conclusion ! If you switched to Spot th...

A trip down the road early this morning
It's top left on the K7 / K5. On the collar around the control settings. BTW - I've just noticed there is a menu item which allows the exposure to be set relative to the focus point or not, your choice - take a look (C1 in the menu I think it was) or maybe check the manual for fuller explanation...

A trip down the road early this morning
Many thanks for all your tips. I always soot in RAW+ and as of the letterbox, I was so cold and wet by that time (mainly the biting wind) plus I did not had the tripod with me that I just took a 'snap shot' of it and will be back to it again as I only this morning discovered it (I live here 10 years...

over at the stables...
Nope, she got to stand still with a tripod (and set the shot up herself!) while I drove off to turn around and come back. She's done this before but finds video 'cooler' :? Thanks for the feedback. I think I'm going to submit 3 to PPG.... Bret

Action shots first attempt
Yesterday was just the best fun, we had about a foot of snow so my son got the quad bike out and blasted round the paddock, took me right back to my old motocross days. Any comments apreciated as always.

Call This Winter ?!
Thanks! I think I can just about see the riverfront cafe where my wife ordered 'fried little birds', not expecting it to be quite so literal :D I also like the flag and traffic warden (?) very much. Great zebra crossing background! Brings back some good memories! Including chilli soft shelled ...

Everyone loves a robin
I reckon this is a conspiracy to make my robin shots look second rate :lol: Truth is my robin shots can't match these (yet - I will keep trying) - well done guys, shots I reckon you are rightly proud of. :D Can someone send the robin back to Wales now to give me another chance :D

Street photography. First attempt by a complete novice
As no-one has commented yet, I thought as you asked for feedback I'd post a reply. The first thing that strikes me is most of the pictures look very soft. Are you using spot focusing? I find it's the only way with street photography to get the subject in focus all the time. If you want the subject o...

Street photography. First attempt by a complete novice
A few more tips... First, move to Sri Lanka!:shock::lol: People are totally unconcerned here by some foreign idiot pointing a lens at them. I am totally brazen, and have yet to have the slightest problem. I'm dreading having to adjust to UK conditions when I eventually move back there. If movi...

Street photography. First attempt by a complete novice
The advice about finding the location and then lurking is sound. You get the backdrop and wait for the right 'actors' to walk onto the set. For a street photograph to be successful it needs to be more than just a snap -it should have a story to tell. I usually look for juxtapositions with a figure w...

Street photography. First attempt by a complete novice
Keep snapping, in the UK at least you are not breaking the law when shooting in a public place despite what some people might try to tell you. Fully agree. I had a few weeks back someone who actually walked in to my shot (I wanted to take the background and left plenty of space behind me so people ...

Driving back to the office today from an appointment, I was close to Fairburn and had a feeling it may look interesting so went to have a very quick look (well it was lunch time!) I think it was worth the small detour - see what you think - as always c+c welcome Carl Frozen Lake Me -...
