Some London randoms
I really like the first one, this sort of subject definitely suits the fisheye. The second one might look better cropped square, or with more fill light to get back some shadow detail. The sky in some of these shots seems a bit devoid of detail, the wonky Tower Bridge one would have more impact IMO ...

1st shots with DA 35mm f/2.4
It's a great people lens & that is a great description. I haven't used prime lenses for ages & it was great to get back into a disciplined approach. I loved number 1 the moment I took it.

South Fremantle Power Station - image heavy
Fantastic Gary, you must go back with a wide angle lens. Are there also pictures to be done of the shell of this concrete building? I imagine there are some good angles and shapes which might work well in mono. David

Shoreditch on Sunday
I really like 2 and 3. The colours, reflections and layers in 2 appeal, getting a bit Saul Leiter. 3 is almost from another age apart from the shiny bollard and Mickey and Minnie to bring you back to now(ish). Shame you didn't do 3 with the 31mm, (sorry, I hate this kind of comment) , I'd love to s...

A Few From The Weekend - Coventry Shale - Buxton Tarmac - Buxton Speedway
Here are a few from the weekend. Coventry Saturday from the back of the grandstand and Buxton Sunday through the safety fencing. There's a speedway track at the back of Buxton Raceway which you can look over onto and watch, so I thought I'd take a few photos. K5 + Siggy 120-400 HSM OS.

Boy and Pig
It was only there temporarily, now gone back to it's rightful owner. I think this is a very special photo indeed, one which I have viewed many times. It is a fascinating shot with a definite surreal quality. The positioning of the elements couldn't be better, every little detail seems just righ...

Local landscape
Went on a walk a few weeks ago (yes, I am still months behind on PP :D) and was trying out yet another recently-acquired Vivitar 28mm Close Focus lens. (Sold my last two, then found this one for an irresistible price!) Used several LightRoom 'digital grad filters' on this, which is unusual for me...

Rain at the Nurburgring (7 Images)
I got back from the Nurburgring in the early hours this morning. It rained for most of the track action, but thanks to the K20D and DA*200's weather sealing I carried on shooting :-) Hundreds more pics to go through so expect a few more cliched motosport images over the next few days ;-)

Rain at the Nurburgring (7 Images)
Thanks for the comments guys, it was a fun few days. I'm inclined to agree with Iltexano on the first one, the out of focus woman is a bit too prominent, but I was aiming for the 'Wet Practice' marshall and sign to be the main subject. I did try a closer crop so that the woman was to the LH side...

Young Blackbird
Thank you for the comments. They eat slugs in my garden, even seen them robbing a frog of his catch. Number 2 is a bit yuck I suppose if we ate slugs and had no fingers (or back of hand) then spinnach in the teeth would be the least of our faux pas. He's (or his brother/sister, there are 3 ...

Young Blackbird
Thanks guys for the updated information. The older male is not as trusting as the younger ones and usually scurries into the undergrowth when we appear (guilty concience we reckon). Sat and watched him stuff himself with 27 rowen berries before he flew off, I can't imagine where they all fit. ...

A couple of recent shots
I recently went to the Boat Museum in Ellesmere Port. Light wasn't good, so not many expansive shots of the boats, But I managed to get a free 12 month pass, so plenty of time to go back :lol: Here are a couple I took, along with a random shot of a tree opposite my house :roll: C&C Welcome. M...

A couple of recent shots
I like "moving parts." I'm a sucker for engineered items :) Well...when I get back off holiday and have chance to go through the rest of the images from the day, I might just please you some more! I think the turqoise/blue painted castings in the background are distracting though, and if it was m...

First Images with the Kr
Just got my first Pentax yesterday and had to try it out in the back garden. Love the 50-200mm kit lens that these were taken with, not so keen on the 18-55mm lens thought so I feel a lens upgrade coming on.:) Paul

Holiday Pictures...
I like number 1. The Seagull is sharp and the background is out of focus, thereby supporting the motive/bird. I also like number 4, but maybe you could have done something to the colour of the sea? On my screen the sea is too saturated (if that is the right technical term?). It does not look natural...

Docklands - Canary Wharf 2011 - VOLUME TWO
Cheers peeps :) the clock pic arrived on the computer with one of them cropped off a bit - bugger!!! - So I cropped the other one off a bit as well. I was also a bit miffed about cropping to close to the girl in #3 but chose it as a keeper cos I like the pose and hair flicked back. :) #12...
