Nigel's First Stranger Shots
Nigel, these are head and shoulders above any portrait shots of mine. Cheers.Philip :mrgreen: :D Nice one Philip! Shoulders? Yes. Heads? Maybe not :? I did face quite a conundrum though with focusing - really needed a bit of Cabstar's expert advice on where to focus in the absence of any eyebrows! :...

Shots from today
The first shot in particular is wonderful. Great focus and timing with pleasing toning.

Dr Orloff Or How I Stopped Worrying And Learned To Love The Converging Vertical
I shall attempt to address the points raised. Apologies if I miss any. Alan & Nigel: Yes, there is some haloing here and there. Hence the reference in the description to these being a little crude in part. I'm still experimenting with the techniques and they aren't right yet. With Gotham it ...

Dr Orloff Or How I Stopped Worrying And Learned To Love The Converging Vertical
[quote:3496ace15f="Dodge69"]I liked how you looked through the viewfinder and then pressed the shutter button. It a joke, :D but it won't get you a creative exposure! Far from it. To the contrary, I don't think it's a joke at all. Apart from Ansell Adams, I don't think very many historically signifi...

Dr Orloff Or How I Stopped Worrying And Learned To Love The Converging Vertical
Good idea ... anyone know the name of the Sony forum ?:o But I'd have thought that a quick and accurate way to meter and achieve your desired exposure reliably would be even more important on film? I think the point being made, albeit a little disrespectfully, is that the film cameras didn't have...

Best picture I have taken (so Far)
Macro is great fun. I find people usually give it a try and are either hooked and stay with it or consign their tubes or close-up lenses to the back of a drawer. Nice to witness some photographic joy.

6x7 Boathouses
Photographically, the first shot is quite without drama, it is so simple but it justifies pause for thought. It has a very strong sense of place, even belonging. Is there a river on the other side of the shed, leading into the sea? Is a boat, as it were, still out at sea? The shed seems to be lo...

6x7 Boathouses
To be fair some of it is the film I used. I was a cheapskate back in the day. I've some scans which are better than those.

Mammatus Sky
This was a weird sky the other night. These are mammatus clouds, I have never seen them before. They appeared at the back end of a storm and then they disappeared. The whole event took just a few minutes and the clouds were moving pretty fast and at low light so not easy to photograph. I had no ...

Smeggy's Olympic Pics :)
A wonderful set, Smeggy. Reportage at its very best. They really capture a unique time and place and should be a valuable resource for folks to look back on in years to come. Great colour and detail with impeccable timing. So this is how you photograph joy. Looking at no.5, did you REALLY have to...

Smeggy's Olympic Pics :)
Cheers for looking peeps. Yes agreed on the sharpening of some. They were done on my old CRT monitors ( which are now in the landfill somewhere, or dumped on a Somalian beach ). Since getting LED Monitors I've certainyl reduced the amount of sharpening I do by a fair amount As regards #5 I actua...

Motorsport: Brands Hatch, May 25
Thanks, all. I'd recommend Brands Hatch to anybody, Peter - and especially the full Grand Prix circuit, although it is used relatively rarely. It hasn't changed a great deal since the 1970s, so period cars look very much at home. Proper access roads hadn't been invented back then, so getting some...

Aldeburgh, Suffolk
5 is unusual with the flowers coming through the stones there - great composition. Do you think it could take a bit of brightness reduction? Maybe the sky would benefit from toning down, may bring in more colour. 4 is special with the first flash of sun there, and you've given just enough exposur...

Aldeburgh, Suffolk
Interesting set! Takes extra dedication for dawn shots at this time of year 8) I agree with Nigel about #5 - the one I'm most drawn to. Love the composition of this one, and the flowers add real depth to the seascape, but the sky could be pulled back and given more definition.

Brands Hatch Masters Festival
A couple of action shots, but both are pretty big crops, as a long way back at Clearways to get a clear view over the fence. 1) Williams FW07B followed by Lotus 95/5 2) Shelby Mustang chased by Healey 3000 with the back-end just stepping out I have a load of action shots with vary...

K5IIs+50-135/2.8 Warrington Horse Show
Some lovely sharp and detailed shots here, but the colour balance looks very odd. What WB setting did you use? There's a lot of blue in the tones, they could all do with a WB adjustment to bring them back to a more natural shade. Regards David

Shots for Constructive Criticism
The first four...the DoF is too shallow. Could work in some instances but gives me no pleasure in these. Eye maybe a crop of Clinging on but the latter works much better, giving some context and sense of scale. Damsel in distress works the same way but I like the view from the back, showing the s...
