Critique Please (3)
I like it ... especially the way the various water level marks stand out. The only negative is that the underside of the arches are too blue, some more PP to bring those back towards stone with a little tint.

Critique Please (3)
For me, the composition is off. I don't like how the arch is cropped. The picture is dominated by the two buttresses, but your eye just ends up going to the dead wall between them. It feels a little tightly cropped on the right. I think it's good to go in and concentrate on one detail, or pull back ...

Manchester Mornings
They go all the way round and it depends where the light from two huge glass ceiling domes falls. Hard to tell for sure, but which do you prefer, the warmer shot or the cooler shot? I love the cooler shot. Not just the WB, but the upward angle with the pillar towering above you on the right hand sid...

Critique 4 (Under the Bridge)
Now that I have finalised the photo of the Bridge from the outside (the long exposure one) I have now turned my attention to UNDER the bridge. This is the sort of place you dont hang about on a Friday night :? So not long back with these exposures (all taken with K-5 and kit lens)run through H...

Marwell (image heavy)
Thanks everyone for the kind comments. The highlights were a little tricky as it was a pretty sunny day:) Steve - I have a bit of a ramshackle bunch of software which I have accumulated over the years, but in general for B/W like this I process the RAW file with DXO Optics pro, then the output from ...

Use Found For Tilting Screen
I was a bit disinterested in the tilting screen on the back of the MX-1 but I did find a use for it today. I was at a garden centre that used to be thriving, but now looks very sad by comparison to its hey-day. Some parts were cut off by high fences, but I wanted to see how bad the old glasshouses h...

Three from a nice weekend
Great light well captured in 1 and 3. No2 was a good spot, but doesn't quite work for me - out of focus figures too dominant?

first real go at Macro
You picked a tough subject there Shaun, I've just deleted about 30 Damsel Fly shots. The background is the key, your pics 1 and 2 are good of the fly ,whereas 3 is out of focus but you see more of the subject. Contradicting myself here, in no 1 the background does show the detail in the wings :)

first real go at Macro
Hi Shaun, it's very difficult for me to give you feedback on these, knowing you as well as I do! I'll give it a go though! The first one is my favourite, it has a lot of detail and is very sharp in the right areas. The problem with it is that the Dragonfly is facing the wrong way, not your fault...

first real go at Macro
For me the best macro is elegant simplicity, set the subject against a diffuse non-competing background, then focus on the nearest eye. Easier said than done though.

first real go at Macro
I'm amazed you managed to get close enough. I was watching a brightly coloured dragonfly back in the summer, buzzing around me but it was too shy to sit still for me to take a photograph. I eventually gave up and simply enjoyed the sight of it :D Thank you for sharing the pictures: they will h...

Sloping horizon, flare, blur, lack of focus, colour casts...not for me either I'm afraid.

The Bowes Museum - Architecture w/ the GW-3 21mm..
On my doorstep and never been. If you were inside was the Swan back on display? The last I heard it was being resored. Love the shot btw, loads of detail and rich colour.

Hey John, I was thinking how nice it was to see a french chateau like this in the north of England, how rare it is I don't know... Barrie, me and my partner Sam (she's from Huddersfield), we visited and stayed in Durham too. Gadd's Hotel is where we stayed. I remarked to her about all the forty a...

Rhyl Air Show 2013 (Image heavy)
Nice set Stu (considering you were using manual focus and shooting wide open) but the last few seem to have a the blue cast to them you had on your previous sets. I get it quite often on my airshow shots but it's easily rectified in processing.

Thanks Bjorn :D Number 3 is a Hurricane not the spitfire - to be honest I had to check this to be sure and did make the same error myself when I first looked at these:wink: Having studied the photo's I have to admit that the Hurricane is the better looking plane in my opinion - I doubt many wo...

To sharpen, or not to sharpen
Okey dokey, we still need to arrange a night shot trip around Sheffield! Just let me know when! It would have to be a Friday or Saturday for me unless I'm on annual leave from work (7th November is a possibility). Cheers David Will need to check the calendar and get back to you.
