Swans
A nice set :D I'm not nearly experienced enough to give proper c&c ...... I find white can be difficult to photograph but I love the first photo - the simplicity, the soft background and the expression on the swan's face ! I think I would have cropped a little less closely, or if the photo...

Nicely done .. some good action shots. If somebody had told me a few years back that we would be able to shoot at ISO 4000 with very little noise on a APS-C body I would have laughed at them.

That's a great capture there, it's great being in the right place at the right time and with the camera setup ready to go! You've just reminded me that it's time to sort my heron shots out for my webpage and whilst I do have a shot of one heron chasing off another I'm jealous of your ones here ac...

I've got my order in.
John, they appear somewhat out of focus. Or is it my eyes? Cheers.

The Ting Tings comeback show Leeds Cockpit
These are great - especially #1 & #2 which shows excellent subject isolation (due to the fill flash no doubt) ? She does look like Debbie Harry (at least in #2, but Debbie had those gorgeous pouty lips) - I remember being stage-side, just 6' from Debbie fronting Blondie at the Deeside Leisure Cen...

Hi Nigel, interesting, I like the monochrome but there is a little softness. #1 nice composition makes a good pair with #2 like the idea but its not quite clear where the focus point is. #6 An interesting guy! I think the best thing is you have the confidence to approach people and take the...

Cheers for comments. Re the softness, from what I can tell, it may be depth of field, which is very shallow in 1 and 2, as they were shot at f1.4. So in 1, the back of the chap is in focus but the statue is not, and in 2 I was focusing on the lower hand, so the chap is out of focus. They were grab ...

I would have definitely asked number 6. Don't be afraid to ask mist people are surprised when asked to have their picture taken and are usually willing. I recently did a little project to photograph 35 people and had one knock back...

By the time you have asked the moment has gone. And no. 6 is clearly too absorbed to notice or mind being photographed... He's also putting on a show so I think a photo's appropriate, maybe slip him a business card afterwards so he can request a copy. I also like the one with the hearts. A shame abo...

Lichfield Gargoyles
Thanks John, I realised I'd not chosen the right group as soon as I pressed save As I said I plan to go back, with a tripod, and hopefully with get better shots. These need cropping at the very least Bernard

Yes a tripod would definitely help in giving you a more in focus image, at the moment they are too soft all over.

Stub it out
Hi folks and thanks for the comments. I found smokers more willing to be photographed and be posed, also brakes the ice when asking to snap them. John, I was surprised how my confidence grew , and how few failures I had, once I started to look more carefully at the people around me. I was trying a...

Photo' gallery...
Hi Gedski, I commented on this picture in the Gallery. In terms of the exposure it is spot-on, but it's not the most interesting subject. I'm sure with practice your pictures will come on in leaps and bounds. I find the technical aspects of getting the exposure & focus right are the easy bits - I...

The Shropshire way
You really didnt have to tell us that! You should have said you waited for 3 hours in the freezing cold for the perfect moment and that the light was fading fast and you were nearly ready to up and walk the 10 miles back to the car when the raven finally gave you the perfect shot you had in your ...

Miners Bridge Betws Y Coed, Snowdonia today
It may well have been today too Andrew - I got a good soaking just before taking this shot and it was pouring again as I walked back to the car - I was very pleased to get this as it looked initially as though I'd wasted my time, Simon
