Is this the spot by any chance ( I noticed they have moved the street lamps back since )

Honest comments wanted!
I agree with johnriley. My eye is drawn to the left and up because of the light both high in the leaves and from the road that enters the scene. It's a great, relaxing area, but as a photo, it lacks "something" to attract/lead the eye, thus I find I get lost. One possible idea is finding a subject i...

What have I done this time?
Pro lighting, and BW conversion is good :) Good focus on the eye, nicely done. Perhaps DOF is slightly too thin, the blurry forehead is a little too prominent for my taste.

sigma 50-500 apo shots
Agree with Davex, above. Heron 2 is a really good, in-its-environment shot. The kingfisher is really good too. The lines of the lower two branches lead up to the bird, then the eye follows the blue & orange curve back down the next branch & back around. Good composition, to my eye. Therefo...

Edinburgh Beltane Festival 30 April 2011
Great set, well captured! I especially like number 4, the soft focus works really well.

Polyommatus icarus
Nice shot! I love the contrast of yellow and blue. Good depth of focus too. Great stuff all round:) Regards

A Surveyed Presence - Project
Thanks all, for taking a look and commenting. Smeggy', I agree with you. Especially with this kind of subject. Having said that, I really hope to visit the North York Moors so I can shoot the 'Old Ralph' and 'Young Ralph' crosses for this project too. Also, I hope to be back in Canada later thi...

A Surveyed Presence - Project
You might be interested in :- http://www.alanheaton.co.uk/northyorkscrosses.html Its got me intrigued now (Are my little grey cells letting me down?). I'll look back through my photos (from possibly 20 years or more ago) and get back to you. I do remember taking a photo of the plaque that was in...

Early purple orchid
The DoF was indeed a bit short but as good as I could get it... I was already on 1 second exposures. I did try (with the digital) take a sequence of images in order to try focus-stacking but I haven't had time to work on those yet. The funny lines are spider's silk... Best wishes, Kris.

Tibetan Plateau
Thanks for the comments! It certainly is a stunning planet we live on!I feel lucky to be able to get shots like this, though it doesn't happen that often. However, sometimes time, place and weather all match up! I'd love to go to the Tibetan Plateau on the ground, it looks amazing, and I've always ...

Tibetan Plateau
Thanks again for the comments! How about Eight Miles High? Plus, ever tried any stitched panoramas? They could be amazing. I have tried panoramas, but there are a lot of technical difficulties: reflections, flare, dirt on the windscreen, very different light in different parts of the sky. I'...

Head's up
Out and about yesterday, with the Pentax 55-300 and the Sigma 90mm macro. Was a very windy day so didn;t think would get much in the way of macro. There were one or two bee's but they were so dam fast, I usually shoot MF using the sigma. Was about to pack in and come home so switched back to AF, and...

Black 5 duo
I love the 3-D effect in FLY, gives it real punch. Not so sure about the out-of-focus rendering in 'narrow boat #2', but probably still better than everything being sharp!

Well nobody has spotted my deliberate mistake then:shock: I said the train in the first image was crossing the bridge over the "Manchester" Ship Canal, Its actually the "Weaver Navigation Canal:oops::oops: Sorry I should have checked:roll: Not so sure about the out-of-focus rendering in 'nar...

Take off
Had a stroll around the local nature reserve today. The sole purpose was to test the k5s continuous focus mode with birds in flight. So took the tripod, dusted it off, it is not used much. Set up shot all at 800ISO to keep the shutter speed up and turned off shake reduction, don't know if I did the ...

Northern Landscapes
A couple more from my stay in Cumbria a couple of weeks back. This was taken at the top of the Ingleton Falls, (more of the falls to follow later ). And this is a famous view from Kirby Lonsdale , "Ruskins View". I tried to avoid it as it is probably cliched, but, in the end, I gave in. ...

PPG judges hate birds!
I concur with Aliengrove: I reckon the opposite is true. Two of the weaker images in my collection are of birds, whereas I have had much stronger images of people rejected. Also - though perhaps this just betrays my prejudice - but I am often surprised by the moderate (or worse) quality of images of...

5 exposure tree
It is very possible to use the cloning tool to touch up and unify the edges of that corona. It's all about changing the opacity levels. I did it here just using Photoplus X3 software, not the best piece of software but it's OK for cloning and such. I noticed a lot of halo effects in this and near...
