Intimate seascapes?
Vnice sets Gareth... particularly like this series, as for me it's the most distinctive (and am rather partial to an intimate seascape myself)... super light, particularly in the colour shots 1 and 3... and the solid rock vs moving sea gives it an almost directional focus/tilt/shift effect... Be...

On the Road - Cities
Brilliant set again Bill, you have such a great eye for an image, one that absolutely screams out to me is the shot of Dundee Docks. The only aspect I'm not sure about is the (out of focus) vegetation in the last image, which is a little distracting to my eye, I maybe would have gone in a little ...

On the Road - Cities
Thanks Andy, Mike, Derek, David, Phil, Serge, Peter, Stuart for thoughts and favourites re these... very useful as ever... David, yes know what you mean re the plants etc in Milton Keynes...

December morning in Durham
Texting Alice is my favourite too although I agree it might do better if it were wider, putting the figure slightly further back to the right which would give him a bit more visual space to walk into?

Coast
Fantastic set of images, I love #5 , I can feel the wind up my back in that. #9 is a peaceful image, a similar view I have looked at enjoying solitude. For me # 10 is just amazing, a very powerful image to provoke a strong emotion :D

This is amazing. I've wanted to get back into astro but haven't ever managed to pick myself up for it. Were you at a dark site for this?

This is amazing. I've wanted to get back into astro but haven't ever managed to pick myself up for it. Were you at a dark site for this? I am in Lanzarote so yes, dark skies. Not a lot of light pollution but there is some.

Faroe Islands
I was there in June and the weather was worse than what you experienced. When you were in Tjørnuvík did you try the local waffles? Thanks for your comment (didn't try the waffles but did see them on sale). We were in the Faroes from 27th June to 11th July 2018. The weather wasn't great most days ...

A train of thought......
…..and comparisons of the same subject just a few seconds apart. York on Saturday was bitterly cold, with overcast grey skies and a threat of snow. I went to photograph the ex LMS express loco Duchess of Sutherland bring in a charter train from London. Picture one here ( already posted in the Ga...

Dan Clancy's Chair
As well as going hiking yesterday, I went out for an hour up a big hill or little Mt, in Hollywood Co Wicklow on Thursday. At the top, I came across a bronze chair, with some Teddies on it, so when I got home I Googled what it was about, this is what I found. On the summit of Slievecorragh is ...

One a Month 2018
stub/Stuart, I haven't been offended by you. I'm very happy to hear peoples genuine thoughts. However, I think you have made up an issue regarding Pentax and movement. I belong to a quite large, very active photography club, only two of us shoot Pentax. I see hundreds and hundreds probably thousands...

My 1 a month
Thanks guys, photography wise it wasn't a bad year, but I'm not sorry to see the back of 2018. I'm hoping to get stuck into it more this year and making time to do what I love doing, just getting out and shooting. Still trying to get my gear to a place where I'm happy with my setup. (I'm a lit...

Photographing BB-8
Great thread Nigel, your information and tuition on the use of flash are fantastic and I think are much appreciated on here by a lot of people. Regarding the images, they are great, the only comment I would make on possible improvement is the distance of the subject from the back-lit wall. Becau...

Wentworth Woodhouse - A set of inside shots
If you are interested in architecture you will probably know about Wentworth Woodhouse, one of the most stunning Stately Homes in the UK. This magnificent property is in a state of decay, which would have been worse had it not been for the previous owner, a local businessman who poured millions int...

Wentworth Woodhouse - A set of inside shots
An interesting collection that focuses on some of the finer details. You've certainly whet the viewer's appetite for exploration around the place! I was surprised when I saw the zoom you were using, and I do find myself wanting to "step back" in quite a few of them .... the images you've taken ar...

Wentworth Woodhouse - A set of inside shots
Thanks all, there are some great comments on this set. Lovely set David, very enjoyable. I like your choice of lens giving us studies from the different rooms rather than the wide angle view. Certainly a place I'd enjoy visiting with my camera. I think I would make a small change to No7 and eith...

Looks like you and the Irix can perform there Gareth...? How easy was the manual focus to cope with all day ..? Did you use any filters at all..?
