Kingfisher update
Hi Dr. The 3 hover shots were immediately after I had zoomed out to 210mm for the reflection shot. The kingy then flew up and further away. I fired 3 shots off and then zoomed into about 450mm to try and get another few, Unfortunately the Siggy lost focus and just hunted, so I've had to crop the 210...

Kingfisher update
I'm not 'picking' on anything, etc. I think the first set was exceptional. If this set was as technically proficient then they would be extraordinary. They are very good shots but I don't think that the exceptional timing is matched by the technical aspects, which as explained was due to the bad ...

Take off
I like the composition in both :D I am going to have to go back to my pc as the highlights look blown on this lap top screen and it is not just your shots so the screen appears to be the villain here :shock:

Beyond the fringe
David, I have to say I like them all. #2 is fabulous while the out of focus woman in #1 makes me view that one most for some reason.

Thanks for all your comments. I posted them in order of my preference for these, 1-4. #4 is a fun shot but I don't rate it photographically with the others. These are just a handful of the 100s of pictures I took in Edinburgh on Saturday. I now have a big back log of pictures to work through becaus...

Men in skirts...
We have a family wedding soon, so some of group came for a kilt fitting. The K5 and 8-16 were to have there first outing. I was under the impression that this was not a people lens, but thought it might be a bit different. In hind sight I should have taken the 28 and 55, for their lowlight /dof abil...

Docklands - Canary Wharf 2011 - VOLUME ONE
Thanks peeps :) Today's mini shoot wasn't so much fun. A road traffic accident. Unfortunately I was driving it at 70mph and ran into the back of a car that had braked suddenly. The guy I ran into thankfully was unhurt. I walked free, but my upper body aches to absolutely buggery. I feel like I've...

Docklands - Canary Wharf 2011 - VOLUME ONE
Sorry to hear about your RTA Smeggy .. but thankfully you are relatively unharmed, a close call. I did exactly that once on the M25 (hire car - crap brakes and ran into the back of a Bentley Sports with rather better brakes - the owner was brilliant, didn't give a damn about his car just my family,...

Vivitar 55mm, Nokton 58mm +macro filter, Sigma 105mm: rough comparison
As the title says. Should have said a bit image heavy. Comparison of the following lenses. Vivtar 55mm f2.8 macro, manual focus/exposure. Nokton 58mm f1.4, MF, with Sigma achromatic macro lens, Sigma 105mm f2.8 AF. Slightly windy today and comps done in jpg only. Taken with camera on trip...

Time to reflect
Well seems photography makes one younger, certainly feel like I'm back in the school yard. Have tried to replicate the last image, but angle, lighting and inability on my part have prevented it. Interested in your thoughts Nigel

traditional market then the train
These are nice, especially the first couple. The rest aren't really as well composed. No. 2 looks really film like, I think it's the depth of focus as well as the colour. What lens are you using?

Spotmatic in Spain
I did wonder about where 3 and 4 are as sharp as they could be, but then you've also got the extra step of the scanner that might not be helping - do they look any sharper on a projector? I guess with the atmosphere over the bay that might also affect the photo - that is, not an issue with sharpness...

Boqueria market, Barcelona (BW)
Finally got round to PPing a complete set of these from a work trip at the end of May . I had previously only managed the odd one here and there, which some of you might have seen. Boqueria market is a covered market, and a great place to visit if you ever have a couple hours spare in Barcelona. ...

Boqueria market, Barcelona (BW)
my favorite is the salt cod and can i help you? but i think the lady's face is not quite sharp what an interesting place, too bad about the miss focus no 3 and 5. And the banana in front of the lady in fruity gossip cheers

Another set of 'Me Too' street photographs
Do you prefer colour to black and white for street photography? I am a 'default' colour photographer. If colour distracts from the photo I go mono - and for consistency I will develop the whole set like that. I think Puzzled Boy might be improved in black and white, because that would allow the back...

Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2011 - Street Performers etc.
Some nice shots, I really like no. 13 but the multicoloured jacket detracts. Perhaps a B&W conversion would 'knock it back' a bit?

Some nice shots, I really like no. 13 but the multicoloured jacket detracts. Perhaps a B&W conversion would 'knock it back' a bit? I would use an adjustment brush to wipe around everything but the subject that turns down the saturation. but not enough to make it a colour-pop

Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2011 - Street Performers etc.
I think your shots are a good representation of a wander round the streets at the moment, and you seem to have been lucky with the weather. I was on the Royal Mile myself yesterday hoping to get some street shots of the festival, but an unwell wife & the return of this summer's rain shot down my ...
