Salters Brook Moor
Back to work tomorrow after taking an extended xmas break, during which I'd planned to get out hiking and photographing in the Peak District as much as possible. But the continuous gloom under deep cloud and sporadic drizzle largely put pay to that plan. Nevertheless, in the spirit of running wi...

Mast at Half Flag
What you see on screen should be what you see on screen when you have saved it and then reopened it. There's no reason why it shouldn't be. What you see on the print depends upon how everything is set up. I suggest going back to basic principles, making sure the whole process is using the sRGB co...

The Arrest
They didn't mate, the lad in the back isn't the one being searched, they put him in the back of the van 1st. The kid on the left stepped out the kebab shop.

Redpoll in Alder
Indeed, Alan! I was on the way back to the car, having had lovely light, but with not much in the way of birds about. When I saw these fellas, the light was fading &, against the sky, the shots were challenging. I dialled-in a couple of clics compensation but apparently not enough! Back in PSE...

Well... Competition was tonight... I didn't come last... I came second to last... Crit was solid but on the whole fair... Thought all could be sharper in general... Wanted the whole left-hand in the first... didn't like the blown windowframe... Liked the second but wanted the twig out on the ...

East Lancs With A View
I have been driving up and down the East lancs Road (A580) for years and kept seeing a scene I wanted to shoot. Always in a hurry, I never have. So today I drove to the spot, and although the lighting was blazing right in my eyes (and the Q 8.5mm)I did make two exposures. The first is a corner of...

Fieldfare feeding - is it acceptable to have an animal facing away in an image?
Hello The first one appears a little better in terms of sharpness etc but the bird facing away is best avoided if possible but still it is a nice picture. The pose of the bird is better in 2 but the picture seems a little less sharp, however, given the conditions, mainly the light, I would sa...

Fieldfare feeding - is it acceptable to have an animal facing away in an image?
There are two perspectives here (excuse the pun), that of the photographer and that of the birder. Pic 2 is better for ID purposes and as a behavioural shot as the food matter is clearly visible. However the human eye prefers landscape shots (which is how we see the world) over portrait so that i...

Bird with new lens
I agree MF on moving Girds is tough :D With MF it is best to pre-focus on a spot (at f8 to f11 if the light permits) and move your feet a small amount as required to pull the bird into focus, take multiple shots. Not cropping too close can also improve perceived sharpness.
