Snow in Oldham
We seem to be having an extended cold snap - so I've had quite a few chances to fire up the K30 out and about in the snow. The first two, I took about 10 days ago. Below Besom Hill ..... Still below Beson Hill ..... This is the "waterfall" in Pingot Quarry, Oldham. It was a cold day...

Snow in Oldham
I did get back in the afternoon on Tuesday this week, in the sunshine - with lots of gear, tripod, ND filters, various lenses - but I'm not so happy with the result. I took loads of photos - this is the nearest to a duplicate of the photo I posted above. OK, so I took it at f22, 1 second to...

Composition
Hi Stan, couple of things :wink: I'd crop the RH side so there is symmetry with the busts either side. Then the lights. It looks like where they anchor to the ceiling has accidently been missed off. Either get it all in or be bolder in the crop so it looks like it been a deliberate crop Yes, s...

Composition
I'm glad to hear you have a proper tradesman's entrance. I was sent to one not so long ago. I had to photograph a painting belonging to Sir Gregor MacGregor, Chief of Clan Gregor. I appeared at the door banging the heavy door knocker and an ancient, wizened family, hunch back retainer eventually ope...

A Mother's Love
had a stroll in the snow, at least i had a warm house to go back to not like these creatures. they graze the local common as has always been done and it is now an area of special scientific interest due to the rare flora , fauna and butterflies etc.

Had To Have a Play with B/W
They all work extremely well in strong black and white. As people here probably know, this style is more my thing, and these are great. I'm jealous! I especially like 1, but honestly its very close with the rest. My only comment in the negative would be regarding number 5. I think the clouds a...

Q Fisheye shots
That third image is the best of the bunch. This stuff is presently outside of your usual arena Alan. The bottom line is fish-eyes are low usage lenses but a must for certain shot effects. I have no doubt whatsoever that you'll take to it with a passion. I hate, with a passion, the fisheye look .....

Just next to East Lancs road in Manchester. You wouldn't know it's there just by going pass it. Greg

Hmm, no interest whatsoever. These must be really crap then.

let's go back to springtime
I like I like, been waiting for the spring to get some shots just like this. Took a bimble down an old greenlane last spring looking for some views and came across a vast field of rape (no more boundary fences down our way) that would have made a great pano. Intense cobalt blue sky and gray clouds, ...

let's go back to springtime
Hi Greg The first one works well for me and I could imagine this as a very large print to get the full impact of the scene. Looks a little dark on my screen though. The second one doesn't have the same appeal to me. I think I would prefer to see more field in the shot, at the moment the field ...

let's go back to springtime
Thanks. The tree on first one is a bit dark because of grad filter I used, but it should be ok overall, I'm doing all them on calibrated screen and it looks ok on mine. I couldn't get more field in the second, I was standing in the field with 10-20mm lens. Any lower would put ugly green stems...

Eggs in an Oak Bowl
I like it but with the sqaure crop I would prefer the bowl in a more central position... Personally... That does involve pulling back the crop to allow for the shadow however... Tough call...

A Toy Story
Went for a walk, just to get out the house and weather be dammed! For no apparent reason I took a detour up some steep steps, with my glass back, knee and foot, half way up I was asking myself why!! As soon as I got to the top there on the floor was a soggy wet £5 note :) At the end of the little tr...

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
I think it was 1989 when I went with a group of friends on a steam special from Manchester Victoria to Southport. On the way out we went past Kearsley Power Station with it's cooling towers and my mate Martin decided they would make a good photo on the way back. So, later that afternoon at the appoi...

Bess
not a bad effort. quite like the composition and looks good in b&w. little soft on the focus though. try to focus on the eyes at f1.7. or at f4-5ish you'll have more of the "face" in focus, which works well with dogs and their longer faces.

A few from last weekend - snow
Hi All :D I took my son out with his sledge last weekend, a bit of fun for him but I promised myself that I would make it mainly about him and not photo's - it went ok, took some 'action' shots but also tried to take a few other pics whilst waiting for him to get back up the slope each time:D ...

All good Barrie - even the trippy rivets :D For some reason - I keep being drawn back to the 2nd image - there is definitely something about that one. Carl
