Flowers
No 2 works for me also - nice out of focus background helps the flower really stand out, followed by no 1. No 5 would work better in my opinion with a bit of gardening! Ie removing the blades of grass and stopping the light on the green foliage along the bottom edge

Herrington park
After being laid up for weeks with back problems once again. It was nice to get out and catch a bit of the late summer. I purchased the Cosina 24mm earlier this year and took these with it on the KR.

Santorini with the 55-300
Whilst in Santorini for just 1 day on a recent cruise holiday, I decided to take a series of shots with the K-3 and 55-300 lens, the objective being to take some images that are not the norm for this location. Most Santorini shots you see are wide angles. These focus on compressing the perspective...

Santorini with the 55-300
Lovely set of photos. Clever composition and framing show off Santorini very nicely. Haven't been there for a long time... but your set makes me want to go back!

St Paul's - Multiple Exposures
I particularly like 9, 11 & 12. There is a bit of a trend for more experimental techniques involving deliberate movement, but when you think about it that's not much different to panning, time lapse (I.e. Light trails from night traffic) zoom shots, soft focus, use of bokeh and the whole gamut of te...

Ryedale Folk Museum
It is a lovely museum and a great place to spend an afternoon with the camera. I like the Spinning Jenny shot too, but my eye was also caught by the one in the photographic studio and reminded me about a shot I took in the same place a couple of years ago. Hope you don't mind me posting it again i...

British GT @ Donington 11.09.2016
Thanks for the comments, Some look rather highly saturated to my eye (especially the F3 car in no 7). You could be right there Mike, the blues / greens look a little bright, more so than they do in lightroom before exporting so I probably need to check my settings. Yes, that is superb! Wa...

Swanage Station, Heritage Railway
A wonderful set, Nigel. It is a very well-kept line, and you've brought out all the colours on the railway very well. I enjoy the touch of humour in the colour pop! I'll have to go back one day when the weather is more favourable than it was for me this year. Cheers. Philip

A few from the weekend
Ha! Aircraft contrails are usually to be avoided, seen as spoiling a perfect sky, but here you've grabbed them and transported then to earth, and they become your foreground interest, the subject of the photo almost! The third is the best composition-wise, although it could be a little further ba...

Moon shot
Some of my own observations; I'm no expert! First, the closer the moon is to the horizon, the harder it seems to be to get a sharp shot. Why? No idea; light probably. You need higher ISO to capture it just after moon rise than you do when it's high up in the sky. Low cloud, even if very thin,...

Moon shot
Naim, getting back to your pics! I think the opening shot has a lovely colour to it. I like the idea of the 2nd image with the car lights. I wasn't there and it may not of been possible but there is a lot of wasted space so if you took a few steps to the right then the moon would of been closer to w...

Moon shot
Lack of sharpness in moon shots isn't always to do with the optics or camera stability. The atmospheric haze plays its part too, that's why they put the Hubble telescope into space, albeit originally with dodgy out of focus optics!

Moon shot
I'm not sure whether using a teleconverer is a good idea or not, It introduces more glass for the light to travel through. Some believe just adding a single haze filter ruins their results! This is a moon shot I took recently for Dromit's Harvest Moon comp that I didn't use. This is a cropped...

A few people
Thanks all! Appreciate the comments! The old couple were lovely, on the way back she was awake and I shot another image of them but it didn't have the same appeal. You're right, the way she's sat with her hat it has a comical look to it. There is just the one telescope at the Bay where this was t...

Menorca with the MX-1
We seem to have a 'Battle of The MX-1's in the Med' going on here!! I bet you're glad you picked up that replacement one Andrew .... obviously its come in handy again. I like the character of the burnished, sunbaked tones you've captured, giving a real visual flavour of the place. I like the clos...

Wildlife on the park
Agree with David, the lighting is the best on this one. The last one seems a little muted on my screen, may look a bit better with brightening up slightly with a small touch of contrast/vibrance Regards George That's a problem using a laptop thanks for the feed back. Regards Ian

So sorry to be so late back to this thread... Tim, Nadeem, Alistair, Andy, David J, Nigel S, Kris, Andrew, Joe, Maria, Gary: thanks all as ever for observations, comments on these... always useful to hear how things land, and what works/doesn't work for whom and why... 12 was one of those intere...

a mix from this month
Hang on! There's some landscapes here :shock: (well. 'boatscapes' anyway :) ) .... I'm glad you got back into it, because these are some of the best, most polished images I've seen from you ! No 2 is a 'wow' shot for me, perfect layout and a gorgeous time of day. The lighting is great in all of th...
