Frozen Fairburn
Initially liked the first one most, but I keep going back to "Wasteland". Its fabulous, but not sure why as it is quite cluttered

First attempt at portraits
by the way Happy 50th Thanks for the birthday wishes! I used a trial version of Nik Silver Efex Pro a while ago, maybe I will have to get it.... Here's a picture of the softbox. It's made from a plastic container about six inches across with tin-foil inside it, and two layers of the foam paper st...

Wish you where here?
I rather like the horse shot, it's certainly not something you see every day! Unfortunately it is just a little too soft - looks like the focus might be behind the horse? The first one doesn't do much for me I'm afraid. It seems technically okay but doesn't hold my attention. The 3rd one has a v...

Workin' at the carwash
Looks like there's nothing for it but to go back again sometime and try again. Clever stuff Tim with the cloning, which I can just about manage, how you achieved the extra shaft of light is beyond me.:?: Thanks for looking everyone. Cheers. :D

Lapwings
Spent this afternoon watching a pair of lapwings courting in the field next to our house. Although far from being technically perfect, I'm pretty pleased with these images, being the first attempts at in-flight bird photography on my part. K7, 55-300 (at 300), manual focus, overcast skies. ...

"Girls Just Want to Have Fun"
These really are extraordinarily good. Lovely sense of joy with great exposure and sharp focus. Far better than I could manage. Joining this forum has reinvigorated my interest in photography and given me the confidence to pull down the barriers of my comfort zone :D. You're not the only one,...

New sledge/ latest lens
Hello all My son has a new sledge which he's enjoying learning how to use and I now have a Pentax M 200mm f4 - a bit of a learning curve for both of us. Here's a few shots from this afternoon, I have not got the hang of focusing this lens yet so the lack of sharpness in some shots is down to ...

New sledge/ latest lens
Thanks for the comments guys :D Geordie01 - yes the robin seemed to arrive just in time - cheers :lol: Sandista - I am not really that well up on the lens in terms of the technical side of things (number of elements in how many groups etc) but they seem to come well recommended and I have been...

Waiting
This picture has a very cold feel about so was suprised to see where it was taken. I agree that the out of focus stalks are distracting, maybe a higher view point so they dont interfere with the sign or go for more depth of field.

Waiting
Have you tried it in b&w? Sorry to take a week to get back to this. I had not tried it, but have had the chance to sit down with LR now and convert it. Happy to get your thoughts on it.

People on the street, episode 6.5

Geordie. I think David might be right about a ship/boat in the foreground but I think you might have to wait quite a while to see one these days. on the odd occasion I go up to Shields I notice there is hardly anything on the river nowadays. 60years ago the river had as many ships on it as the M25 h...

Chinon 50mm f1.4 Sharpness
Unfortunately after moving away from all manual lenses I've been dragged back in again. I just couldn't resist this one at £30 inc P&P. I'm happy with the sharpness and general look of the pictures but what do you think? both were taken in doors at f1.4 and hand held. Both also have been cropped...

Southend Beach
Thanks all for your comments and suggestions. Firstly want to say that Southend is much more interesting photographically on a day like this than in the sunshine. Gareth, hello and thanks for the work you done on my pics. Not sure that I agree they all look better in mono but interesting to see t...
