A Few from Last Week - More Added
A few more from last week that I've gone through. A couple I quite like and a couple that are near misses. I think the real atmosphere was down in the mist itself. Beautiful view from above but maybe not right for atmosphere. Another of the church at Keswick on Sunday morning. View of S...

A Few from Last Week - More Added
Thank you John It was quite scary on the Motorway. Incredibly thick fog and a very strong smell of burning. Same day as the bad M5 crash was in the news and everyone was turning off. Turned out to be just a big fire near the road. As I was sitting in traffic waiting to get off (towards some high ...

I like the last two. The last one looks like something from Dr Who! However, the first and last pics look a bit plasticky, and not quite in focus. Perhaps too much noise reduction?

Full moon 10/11/11 - first one with the Bigma
I gave up taking pictures of the full moon some time ago, since with the sun shining straight at it, the visible detail is inevitably less. I thought it might be a decent test for the new Bigma, though, so I had a go last night. For comparison, this was probably my previous best full moon...

Full moon 10/11/11 - first one with the Bigma
You should have another go, I think - if the 150-500 is as good optically as the 50-500, you could expect better than this, I think. you should see the shots I binned:oops: My difficulty mainly is getting the focus spot on, some sort of electronic "no contact" foccusser would be usefull. I don't...

Armistice Day Durham
Didn't you post these same shots last year John:D We didn't get to any services this year and I am ashamed to say I've still not got round to buying a poppy. We have a friend who's son is a Royal Marine, fortunately he came back safe from his stint in Afgahnistan, he was a medic and talks very...

A flower and a torch
Naim, could your light source not be moved back & under so that the light still shines though but avoids bouncing off that front "facet" of the flower? With the continuous light, you can at least see the effect as the light is moved. Roger.

A flower and a torch
Agree with coker, I'm pretty sure that if the light was moved towards the back of the flower it would shine through giving you the desired effect and a great shot I believe

A flower and a torch
Thanks chaps. I couldn't really go too far back because the flower is connected to the branch but I'll have another go later today and post the results. Cheers.

Cheers chap, it is a good place to visit, and I remembered visiting the tailors as a child with my grandad. The tailors shop was in part of the back to backs before they were rescued and preserved. Nigel

Hi John, These were taken at the Brum back to backs in Hurst St. They are NT property, but similar ones can be found at the Black Country museum,certainly worth a trip to the later as there are always people in period costume, who are happy to pose. I intend to revisit as all my pics from there are...

Ahh right- I didnt know about the NT houses- I will go and visit in the near future. The NT seem to have a bit of a random policy on photos inside their properties. I visited the Lennon and McCartney houses in Liverpool but photography is not allowed and this is the case in many of their grander pro...

I really like Number 5, very good DOF use, I would like to see a mono conversion, would add to the atmosphere IMO Number 6 appeals as well, another good application of DOF and focus. Very good set :D

These remind me of a similar row of back to backs at Bradfords Industrial museum, knocked down and re-built stone by stone in the museum grounds apparently. I'm sure Hardgravity will have a multitude of pics:) Our first house was a back to back in Bradford, and yes we still had an outside toil...

Virginia Woolf
Hi chap, some nice colour and out of focus areas. I like number two as one is to busy for me. I think you could make a stronger image with the second by cropping just above the green line of trees and to the right of them. Interesting place. Nigel

I used to work on Bedford Square and go across to Gordon Square for lunchtime summer picnics... so your photos bring back some memories :D

The fisherman
God, it's been ages since I've had time to take photo's, let alone cruise pentaxuser! However, the 18 months of an epic management consulting has come to an end and the pending fatherhood means it's time to break out the camera again! Went out to shoot some jumping salmon and had no luck with ...
