Coombe Gardens, a Colour Blast
These are a nice set Nigel, lovely bright colours and sharp. There are a few points I would make though if you want some constructive criticism, which I know you invariably do: - 4, 5, 6 and 7 are quite a bit over-exposed, you have lost the detail in the blooms and the skies because of this ...

Coombe Gardens, a Colour Blast
Awwhh, Will, it had to happen, lets get back to the PU of old with some more negative and unfriendly constructive criticism :mrgreen: lets just have a new forum section 'Burst our photographic bubbles' ... That might even pull a few more characters back over here to start taking pot shots at me agai...

Coombe Gardens, a Colour Blast
someone will pop up soon and tell me I should go get a K5 then I can massively underexpose and just whack up the shadows wildly on the computer Dear me, Nigel, you are really developing a chip on your shoulder. The last thing these images need is more processing. Least of all more lightening of sha...

This is certainly different for you Kris. Although you pulled focus on the light there's a lot going on at the rear with the reflections in the windows. It has good detail and symmetry. Best regards

Don't be afraid, they are great. The best way to learn is to judge ourselves by others and take on board their comments and constructive criticism. My only comment is on 2 and 3, the shadows need some detail bringing back, you should learn how to do this and your images will improve! Regards ...

Hi guys, Thanks for all the feedback. My rambling blurb was trying to suggest that I now know, having been on this site for so long without really making any impact on it, that I shouldn't be afraid. The feedback here is always honest and fair - who can ask for more. David - My only comment i...

Andrew - My sincere thanks for correcting the verticals, I actually thought I had (using LR5.4) but after comparing mine and yours I can now see what they should look like - back to the drawing board there. If a realistic view is desired, then verticals need correcting with careful judgement. Maki...

Very nice images John. The road train is a good way to go around. Would love to go back there. :)

Flowers in the garden
I spent 1/2 hour with my camera in my own back yard. Don't know why I haven't before. C&C welcome.

Its a very rewarding place to explore photographically ... question is how have you done? .... Its a place full of details, and that colourful character is caught at a nice angle, and colours are bright. The others don't offer much of interest I feel. That leaves the first one with some potential...

HEATHFIELD - Colour in the Countryside
Really like these McGreg- No1 is so well balanced and IMO the best of the set. I have and use both of these lenses. The 75-150 is so good at around its minimum focus distance when I get it right, and the 18-55 WR always surprises me. As a novice the most frustrating part of using the 75-150 is the n...

HEATHFIELD - Colour in the Countryside
The 75-150mm is hard to beat as well - PF is an issue (you need to look very closely at those purple flowers around the edges :wink:) I spent part of this afternoon comparing three lenses at 100mm focal length. The M75-150mm, the DA 55-300mm and a Vivitar 100mm f/3.5 macro prime. I took lots of ...

Motorsport: Mallory Park, July 20
Nice to return to one of the country's friendliest venues as it gets back into its stride following a winter of discontent/management changes and so on. By the time the mess was sorted, there was scope to arrange only one car meeting this summer (and little excuse not to attend)... 1 - The adva...

Thanks Rob. I think the biggest challenge I have with this lens is the fact that there a really 2 extra manual processes going on to tax the brain ... focussing of course, which can be quite delicate on this zoom (and of course can slip a bit), then you've got to set the aperture ring (which you can...

Safely across
I was walking beside the Melbourne formula 1 racetrack, when I noticed a pair of swans casually crossing the road. the cars stopped and waited patiently until the birds where safely across. By the way, when the race is on, the 50km/h speed sign does not apply. The lens was my Pentax F 35-70mm f3...

Woodchester Mansion--image heavy
thanks Carl, glad i hung onto my fisheye as well. as i said it has been grade 1 listed in this state to protect it ,just imagine if a developer had got hold of it which probably would have been the end result if it had been finished as the last of the family were two spinsters who could not afford t...
