Wide angle landscapes
I don't want to come across as hyper-critical but all of these lack compositional interest for me. You need features for the viewer to focus on and to stop the eye just drifting off the edges of the frame. There needs to be a point to a landscape and strong lines within. Think of it as having someth...

Wide angle landscapes
If it's any consolation, John, I've been operating way outside of my comfort zone recently: street photography. It looks easy, I mean, you take pictures of people in the street, right? But the results have been uniformly banal and pointless. Back to the drawing-board.

Wide angle landscapes
Hi John - I have had a 10-20 for a few months now and have struggled a little to get to grips with it, but hopefully I am improving :D For landscapes I too prefer longer focal lengths but have forced myself to use it for landscapes to make sure I learn how to use it and not leave it on the shelf....

Creating a Cliche
Hi Carl, I love the Lighthouse images but for one significant thing. Composition is great, sharpness is great, colours are nicely saturated. The thing that bothers me is that they both look yellow instead of white and this is not how they are in real life. I think I mentioned something a while...

Mono or Colour?
For me it's better, but I still think there is a blue cast, particularly on the upper hillside nearest the sky. This I believe can be corrected by pulling down the cyan blue channels. It's up to you about the sky, a creative choice ... leave it blue or pull it back to grey, which would be my choice.

Mono or Colour?
No, it's not meant to be like that :D what do some others think? Another interesting point about this shot it's the centre placement of the main point of focus, which is not normally a strong compositional construct ... would it be better off more to one side?

another mono or color
Colour for me too - but select the red shorts and pull down the colour satuaration and luminance a bit. As it is they distract from the face. The colour balance on the skin tones is very good I feel. What's this Nigel 'Select the red shorts and pull down............', my goodness you have to be care...

Belgian Grand Prix 2014
I'm not sure, Mike. In good light the K-5 and K-5 IIs seem to produce similar results. The 17-70 is usually pleasingly sharp at the wide end (can't tell quite how wide, though, because the exif data has always recorded "43mm" since I dropped the lens at Brands Hatch). The Sigma 100-300 has just star...

I'm walking the cat
We used to have a cat that would often join us on Dog walks. (She would usually go back after half a mile or so) Nothing like this though!

Oulton Park Gold Cup, August Bank Holiday
Cheers all. Still can't quite get my head around taking ~700 frames per day, and somehow I never get around to throwing enough away. I got a lot of out-of-focus shots, often with the Tamron zoom but also with the Sigma. I was happy with that TVR shot, was on the Tamron zoom at that point. That's ...

I have missed what used to be your signature shots Alan - very pleased you are back in the saddle with these! As always - stunning shots of a place I have yet to see look even remotely like you make it look! One of these days - must get there before dawn! Carl

Tickhill GP - Concentration
At David's invitation, went to Tickhill along with scores of other snappers, official and casual, and blanched at the sight of some of the equipment on show. Found it quite challenging, never having tried anything so fast-moving before, so I'm aware that these are not perfect and welcome suggestions...

Tickhill GP - effort, pain, relief, pleasure
No pain, no gain - isn't that what they say? Quite a bit on show here, I think. Please feel free to comment. 1 2 3 4 5 6 But what relief when it's over! 7 8 Signs of enjoyment, however, were few (and not quite in focus - sorry!) 9

Jumping on the Tickhill Bandwagon
So - as one of the clan who accepted David's kind invitation to Tickhill - here's a few from me to add to the pot! Good company, good event, good weather....and yet, one of those days when I struggled badly to focus - in more ways than one, not one of my better days! Anyway - here are the bes...

Gold Cup at Oulton Park 2014
Great stuff, Paul - love the mono Audi quattro. The six-wheeler is the March 2-4-0, which never raced in period but was eventually used in hillclimbs. As Barrie says, Tyrrell also had a six-wheeler, the P34, which won the 1976 Swedish GP. Williams later tested a six-wheeler (with four at the rear...

Images from Durham
This past week we've been in a small pace called Frosterley, visiting various places in and around Durham. Here's a couple of shots from the first SD card up, from Raby Castle. It was a great week, but always we're glad to be back.
