Big Night Out in Leeds
Thanks David, Sandy and Peter for further thoughts re these... much appreciated... David, thanks for being upfront about 3... my thought was by taking it out of focus, and making it more of an abstract, it becomes more about the light and the patterns than the building... not sure if it entirely...

Sunset on a rainy evening
Revisiting these with fresh eyes! 1. I find myself scrolling the screen to keep in or chop out the sandy beach, I think I prefer it without, it has cleaner lines then. The muted colours I like. 2. It has a rather blue feel to it which in the sky is cool but the sand is also blue which then mak...

Eastnor nr Ledbury with a couple of old boys
Thanks for the comments Guys, it's quite an easy place to photograph under such great skies :) The optical problems are actually just out of focus areas - they were taken with the Tamron 180mm, with the focus set to near infinity - but there just isn't enough depth of field on this medium-long te...

Saturday night in Newcastle
an interesting set, never been there but definitely looks an interesting place to visit. the thing that spoils these for me is the "orange" lighting, if you shot in RAW and used photoshop or elements try applying Tungsten white balance in the first (ACR) window. this should give a nice dark blue sk...

Saturday night in Newcastle
Thanks for commenting, everyone. Alan, I take your point about timing - there was no natural light left by the time we got "into town" as the locals seem to say, so not much option about skies. Since I don't know Newcastle at all, I was dependent on my daughter's friend picking out a few spots s...

First attempt at fireworks
Looks fine to me. What more had you hoped for? Typically the way to progress from this is to include more foreground objects, so they become landscape photos of towns etc, with fireworks in the mix. As presented these are in focus, and with a suitable shutter speed and focus point.

"Make-Up" before the wedding
1. For me this is the stand out image. Beautiful profile, perfect flawless skins, evenly lit, chin up. The daughter for me could go and then it'd be price condenser 2. I'm not keen on the soft focus look and the bags under the eyes. 3. I think I would rather the focus on the bride and not t...

Longshaw Estate
Nice selection of Autumnal views - I like your use of near focus on some of the wider shots, particularly effective :)

Rockpooling
Really nice! I have bought a small fishtank for dropping fruit into with high speed flash for when I'm back on my feet, but seeing these makes me think about setting up a mini beach style set up and shooting them crabs! Most shore crabs here are peelers, the green ones. How come that is transpar...

Anyone shed any light on this strange ship?
Thanks Vic, It was taken from my back garden and I live around a mile and a half from the sea so have to take that into account and about 250 feet above sea level. The distance to horizon calculator site (http://www.ringbell.co.uk/info/hdist.htm) gives the distance to the horizon from here at 19.4 m...

Anyone shed any light on this strange ship?
:!: :oops: All I can say is the 10 miles was purely a guess, but I'm pretty used to estimating distances right back to my Boy Scout days and private flying from and around Biggin Hill and Stapleford Tawny. Regarding the photo, I'm quite surprised how much detail can be made out from so far away. ...

Super Moon
I woke up at 5.00am to go for a pee. It was like daylight through the window. There it was in a gap in the clouds and there it was big and bright. By the time I went and got my camera it was covered in cloud with no break in the cloud in the direction it was travelling. The room went dark again SO I...

Super Moon
It was like daylight through the window. It was like that on Sunday night for us, but last night the cloud was so thick there was never even a glimpse of it. If it had been visible I would have tried some moon lit landscapes on the way back from camera club. IMO that's where a 'supermoon' works be...
