NEW street stranger portraits
Thank you David. Yes there are all strangers. I simply approach and ask them if they are willing to be "worked" Examples are standing side on and looking at me or in some cases actually walking to a fairly close location to find a better back drop. I couldnt agree more about your opinion on...

Autumn mists
Did you use a tripod? Shutter speed at 1/125sec I would say was too slow otherwise. This comment is puzzling - am I missing something?. Following the guideline - shutter speed faster than 1/(focal length x 1.5) - a speed of 1/125s without tripod gives the photographer at least 2 stops benefit. In ...

Autumn mists
Guys, I am sure the update from firmware 1.00 to 1.07 might improve my photos. So that will be sorted this week once done I will review. I know tests can be helpful to see if calibration ( you mean focusing right) needs correction too. Looks like I am going to be busy. BTW at what stage do you consi...

Autumn mists
I'd be tempted to try the others with a good bit of sky crowd off, more into a panoramic shape ... Just because there's not cloud interest in the skies and that shape might emphasis the long horizontal lines that cross the frames. Thanks for the kind words, Nigel. Cropping off some sky certainly ma...

Looks better cropped in your final version and thanks John for your help again . I will be getting to grips with firmware up date later this week and try to test my focus out again before looking at recalibration options then. Cheers, Patrick 8)

Five in a row_K10D
I've missed the last few posts while making my way back to England.... I like the first shot, I think the muted colour on the grass adds to a feeling of winter (Was it taken in winter?) but the area of burnt out sky is a little distracting. Composition is nice too. The owl....Almost hypnotic is...

I'd take a slice from the right and a little from the foreground. I always feel uneasy about photographing strangers in an everyday setting - even when they're asleep! I'm with Simon on the cropping to focus in on the subject. Simon you should try Whitby at a Goth Weekend that would cure your une...

Gary No. 4 - Like the others I'm afraid, it doesn't work for me. No.5 is back to your usual standard. I think you've controlled the exposure really well. It would have been really easy to lose the detail in the shadows, but they're all there. I also like the structure in the rock and the det...

I'll get one up this evening Gary I like the idea of #4, and its nice to see some experimentation. Maybe it would have come off with a shallow dof, throwing the background out of focus. #5 is to notch

October colours
Thanks for the comments, on both sets so far posted, David. One more set still to come, but I will review those first in the light (excuse the pun!) of your comments. The autumn colours looked a bit cold to me straight out of the camera, so I adjusted the white balance to warm them up and probably o...

Simon Great set. Super eyes in #2, but what is going on in the background of #6? Is the guy at the back riding a lawnmower? Phil

Classic motorcycle racing: Snetterton, October 11
Is the guy at the back riding a lawnmower? It was a practice session for mixed classes, but not quite that mixed. I did see one or two riders having a go at the grass, mind... And thanks, as ever, for the kind words.

October Meet - Railway in Wartime
Well guys, I also shot the same guy. And since I don't want to miss out, here it is! Carl, I also shot the same wheels that you have posted. Here's my version - not as good as yours. And her's one more that I shot at the end of the day, back in Pickering - she has a great smile. ...

Magicman, thanks for the response to my questions .... I don't see that there is any conflict in opinions about processing or pixel peeping ... I was just unsure what it was exactly you were saying about the photo itself .. it seemed contradictory. It is perfectly valid and ok to disagree and not li...

Cat Bells across Derwentwater
I agree with Alan's comments here John, it is a 'must' for good landscapes to use the lowest possible ISO. A tripod is your best friend here, not only to allow 100 ISO to be used, but also to allow the flexibility for other effects, such as long exposures with a 10 stop filter, or an infra-red filt...

Newcastle..... again!!!!
Went back to Newcastle on an evening with no wind, and the tide on the turn so was hopeful of good reflections. Unfortunately when a boat goes up the river, best laid plans go out the window. The last shot is similar to one I tried last time, except this is from the Gateshead side, as opposed to ...

Simple process Nigel. As per my usual workflow, import into Lightroom. Select the images and then right click Select "Edit In" Select "Merge to HDR Pro in Photoshop" Let Photoshop do its thing. Finally a dialogue box will appear showing the selected images, and the merged image. There are o...
