I was curious walkeja and the # symbol goes back a very long way. It seems likely that it originates in the 5 bit Baudot code designed for early telecommunications, in which case I'm afraid you'd have to blame the French. Quite right too John. It'd be a shame to limit xenophobia just to the yanks :...

My latest project - Strangers Doors
I like doors. I think they work better in colour though. GPS tag your shots so that you can go back in 20 years and do a then and now shot of them

Portraits in mono - all critiques welcome
As you know, eyes are the biggie on portraits I like #2. Very nice #1 looks like she could do with a shake to wake her up. #3 looks like focus on the eyes has been missed. and #4 needs the glasses to be worn higher, or the photo taken from a slightly lower viewpoint EDIT: Or alternati...

Chester Zoo, Bank Holiday Monday , April 2014
Smeggy, John and Gareth...Thanks for your comments. Just a bit more information: My main motivations for showing the images were firstly, it was the first time i'd used the Tamron at a zoo. Previously the longest lens I had was only 200mm so I was interested in showing what the longer reach could...

1stEver - good shots, and what I really like (wouldn't I), is they were 'straight from the back of the camera' Great :D

Chester Zoo, Bank Holiday Monday , April 2014
On a more technical note, I'd actually forgotten that the widest aperture at 300mm was f5.6...i was convinced for some reason it was f6.3 and so I thought f8 would give me that bit extra sharpness without losing much else! (thanks Smeggy). Forget about sharpness. You're putting sharpness above thi...

thanks for comments, Gareth is spot on with the set up Puggy but the exif on the single shots shows 1sec @f7.1 iso200, the flash was full manual set to 1/16th power. manual focus on the tip of the stick adjust so that it is either in the bottom corner or bottom center of frame,camera in portrait po...

Thanks Ronnie. A bit of background to the shot. It was an outing with my photo club and I arrived home late from work to a text message telling me that as the weather was fine we were going to pop out and head to the beach :-) My K-5 was battery drained and charger had gone missing so figured I ...

The Kenley & Caterham Valleys
Thanks MrB, I think the contrast boost on that first one is better, but on the 2nd I still favour the original dim lighting as the sun was on the way out just then. Last night at work I had the shots open over 2 browsers and 2 monitors (admittedly not well colour calibrated) and I was seeing 4 d...

If you think you're lacking landscape in Surrey try living in Essex hehe Not something I've come even close to achieving but I think the key for those of us who don't live 5 minutes from an amazing vista is finding the amazing in the mundane. I'm not sure how close the samyang can focus but if t...

The Kenley & Caterham Valleys
I think this thread once again illustrates how differently we all think and approach things. None of us is always right, none of us is always wrong, we just see things differently. When I made my post, I wasn't suggesting that Nigel should stop taking photos in Surrey, just that some alternative...

... I see no footpaths, rights of way signs or stiles. I see no suggestion that members of the public are entitled to walk through any of the areas shown. I see no car parks for walkers, no public toilets and no tourist information. Andrew Andrew, that is fantastic - you have given me some great...

The Kenley & Caterham Valleys
maybe my personal weighting of the technical / artistic is different to others? Quite possibly, and there is nothing wrong with that. Yet however technically good a photograph is for it to have interest to others it has to have interest. There has to be a reason why the camera was pointed at a p...

Andrew, that is fantastic - you have given me some great ides of things to focus on (points of interest) for my next series of images from the north Surrey / South Croydon borders! I look forward with interest to your forthcoming series of photos on rights-of-way signage. Perhaps you could start wi...

Donington BTCC 2014
Certainly an excellent set. The 150-500 is great for motorsport but I found out at Brands that a wider option is worth having with you too! Your 70-300 might suffice, but even the 17-50 could prove useful. I find it hard to find anything to critise on these, I like the Saturn V (especially the...

Images from Swanage Railway
I like them all, very bright and vibrant colours which suits the subjects well. No 3 is great, especially how you've snapped it before the steam has obscured the castle. Brings back great memories of holidays around here, we sat in the castle grounds and watched the trains go by as well as had a ...
