Waterfall
Long exposure water is like HDR to me now. Soon, you won't be able to take any photos at all, smeggy! :lol::wink: LOL :) Oh I'm not scared of such restrictions. The clichés haven't taken over the world just yet. The problem is that once you've seen every man and his dog publish countless p...

If you worried about cliches then you wouldn't photograph anything. There are gazillions of images on the internet so very little that hasn't been seen before. Just photograph what you like. It's original because it will be yours and nobody elses. The trying too hard to be different photo with...

Newcastle Quayside
Very good night shots, 1st especially which benefits from some tone in the sky. The 18-55 is really shining there :) I wonder if perhaps you've pushed the sharpening just a bit too much? Yeah i agree on the sharpening, will do what i usually do go back to them tomorrow with a fresh set of eyes and a...

I too think they are great and of particular interest to me as I have a K-r. What I'd like to know is when you bracketed the shots did you press the shutter release button with the camera on a tripod? What I would like to do is use a remote to initiate the pictures but since you cannot set the camer...

Images from MX-1
The MX-1 is a very good travel companion to take anywhere but that does not compromise it's ability to produce very good images: I took this last weekend while traveling back from shopping up at Hull with my wife.

Photos for competition - Thoughts? COLOUR
#2 is best but I'd have zoomed out a bit more to get all of the bench posts in. As it is, the incomplete bench sort of dominates the shot. Maybe darken the rocks at the very bottom of the frame so that one's eye is drawn more to the symmetry of the reflection rather than the bench itself ? Unless...

I have lived in Cumbria all of my life and yesterday, given there was to be an afternoons respite in the constant tipping it down scenario, I decided to go on a bit of a Photo Jaunt, mainly because I've bin stuck indoors the last two weeks, due to the A: The Weather and B: The pain from my Hallux R...

Today In The Peaks
No. 1 is my favourite David. The lead-in line and the colours are superb. Not sure about no.2 - the foreground would benefit from a focus point perhaps ? Nos. 3 and 4 are both good - who would have guessed that no.4 was taken with the 55-300 ?! Looks like you had a great day out. Best regards ...

Today In The Peaks
Thanks for the observations everyone, much appreciated as always.No 1 has great varying light contours across the undulations of the terrain which really makes it. It needs a lower viewpoint I feel, but no doubt there was a good reason for taking from that specific position. The blending into the sk...

Today In The Peaks
Thanks again Nigel, I do see what you mean, but as this is how the clouds were at the time I prefer to leave them as is. There was a bright edge at the back of the clouds, just above the right horizon that was not replicated on the left. I don't mind if it looks like poor blending on this occasion...

DA*60-250mm + 1.7x TC for sport
With the impending release of the Pentax 1.4x converter I though I'd try my 60-250mm + Pentax 1.7x TC at the rugby. It wasn't easy and I know a few haven't 'nailed' the focus but I was quite happy with the focal length range and think the 1.4x would be even better, the 102mm at the short end was to...

High Level Bridge Newcastle
I really like the hdr look, it suits the subject. The composition looks a bit rough but imo that works really well with the subject/processing. If you could put the original sky back with far less processing (but still a bit) I think it would look even better. I agree with Mc GregNi about the blues ...

Beamish in B&W
Thank you all for the feed back. In the first I was trying to use Photomatix to overcome the brightness of the far window. In the second it was the flames. I'll have another go and see how I get on

Beamish in B&W
I love the rich blacks of the first two Barrie but the 'vintage' treatment of the old van seems to lack punch compared to them. The first one brought back happy memories of those real chips we had the day we went to Beamish - fried in genuine beef dripping. David PPG: http://www.pentaxphotogalle...
