First attempt at a night shot.
On my way to work the other day I was seduced by the prospect of visiting a place called Byrons Pool where Lord Byron apparently once bathed. Upon leaving I caught a glimpse of a Radio Telescope. I went back today, and found this....... K7 + Tammy 70-300mm at 300mm f11 125/s On my w...

First attempt at a night shot.
It's a great first attempt (much better than my first attempt at doing star trails!) Here's my feedback: This pic shows the problems of long exposures - camera shake (most likely due to the wind) as it's not as sharp as it could be. You actually dont need to shoot at small apertures to get ...

Holiday Snaps (not your ordinary ones)
A week in Lanzarote... All closeups taken with SMC Pentax-A 1:1.7 50mm on various tube lengths (I love "catch in focus"). 1. Shot at night with DA*16-50mm and onboard flash, I had no idea the moth was approaching 2. Jumping Spiders everywhere! 3. Weird tiny crickets 4. Yellow...

Saturday set
Beautiful set Nipper ! I loved all of them, even though focus just missed on the Nuthatch a couple of times. In the end my favourite is the first, the singing Robin, beautiful composition & sharpness, though rather strange OOF. The Blue Tit was a close 2nd beating out 2 Nuthatch shots because...

Some recent wildlife shots
Thanks everyone. In regards to the too centred comments, its a nasty habit Im trying to break. A lot of my image are taken by me focusing on the eye using centre spot focus (or whatever the proper name is! :) ) and then when I crop I just cant seem to get that eye or focus of the photo away from...

A walk above the Vale of Clywd
Thanks again for the feedback...back to the PC!! Although the viewpoint of the castle/rocks has gone into my little notebook for a few revisits during better lighting. It's the reason I much prefer to take most of my photos in the best lighting possible - no messing around with processing, it's not ...

Daisies
Great idea for a shot, but I'm not keen on the foreground green blur, especially the bottom right corner. I wonder how it would look with the headstones slightly less out of focus.

Don't forget to look up!
I recently posted a picture of the "Corte de le Pizzocare" in Venice to Flickr. I then did a search on Flickr to discover nine other images, some very similar to my own! Oh well, never mind, back to the drawing board... K.

Small Town Life
In my past wanderings round France I've never seen Street Art - but all the others are very very familiar to me . A brilliant set , which have brought back some very happy memories of times past

RAF Upwood yet again. :)
3 & 4 are my picks from this bunch - really nice. Well worth going back. I really must get down there before the HSE shut the place down.

F1 Stox @ Coventry and F2 Stox @ Buxton 2nd & 3rd April
Nice shots, but when you go up to Buxton, don't forget to take the little road to Earl Sterndale, dropping down Cheapside between Chrome and Parkhouse Hill (the Shark's Tooth and the Dragon's Back) - fantastic views and the closest features Derbyshire has to Limestone pavements.

F1 Stox @ Coventry and F2 Stox @ Buxton 2nd & 3rd April
135 is nice, I like the close crop, the sharpness and the vivid colour of that spoiler I quite like that shot too. It's straight from the camera, no cropping etc, only a quick resize for the forum. Nice shots, but when you go up to Buxton, don't forget to take the little road to Earl Sterndale...

Summer Colors
Nice work, Snappy. Lovely colours and soft, dream-like focus.

Summer Colors
Ooh, flowers. I bet that was an expensive lens. Did you just set the camera to AE mode and blaze away? Very nice colour and focus. There's obviously a degree of skill required to take good flower pictures. Regards

Street kids - Aliengrove - can you remember what the kid on the right hand side [ wearing white ] was looking at ? The girls were looking at you , the wee one at the back possibly was - but the little boy he's definitely not * puzzled*. They are a great series - wonderful snapshots of life .

For me Pensive is 'the' shot here, but agree it could do with a crop to the left. If I'm going to be critical in my typical armchair photographer fashion, I'd say a few of these could do with zooming in / cropping in order to focus a little bit more on the subject and generally tighten up compositio...
