Hever and Heathfield
Two of my favourite, often revisited garden destinations, Hever Castle (Kent) and Heathfield House (nr Croydon). I have found a number of my DNG files from these places not yet used, as I explore the back catalogue and continue to edit on the go and on mobile, using the Snapseed App on my Androi...

Drive in the County
Thanks all for the comments, and the re-welcome Gareth, I probably ought to post here more than the US site. Not that I post much there either. I wish I had had time to move the camera mount around a bit more for some variety, and really wanted a shot firing backwards from the front quarter, but ...

Drive in the County
I know these are car rig images so the camera is sitting further back on a boom arm but the process is very similar. Don a ND filter on to stretch the exposure and push the car slowly. The illusion of speed and motion is there but the reality is the car is being pushed for circa 5-10 seconds. Pushin...

My first try with Astrotracer
Sorry I have not got back earlier but my wife has been in hospital, she is back home with me now. The image represents how as I saw it. I think it could do with being a bit lighter but especially the foreground so whilst not representing what I saw it would make it more interesting. If I lighten th...

Quick Driftwood grab shot
Took the dog for a walk down the beach earlier on and we got rained off. Managed to grab this image before legging it back to the car! If you look at the sea you can see the splodges of rain water on the front optic of the lens so not going to be a website for sale image :cry: Pentax K1, DFA ...

Garden Glory
The second one is so delicate and the oof parts don't distract IMO. Lovely lighting on no 3 and focus in the right place giving maximum effect. First one, whilst the light is great, lacks the focal point sharpness for me.

Is this one an improvement on the first image... ...agreed it's a very busy background and the point of focus isn't well defined enough, I couldn't get the plane of focus right at maximum aperture and stopping down impacts the Bokeh significantly. Thanks for all the comments - good to have a...

On the other hand, why should there always be a point of focus? You could get rid of the lavender altogether and just have a totally impressionistic, out of focus abstract that just hints at a reality which can't quite be grasped. I think it would work for me. Of the other two, no. 3 is quite stu...

That's a fantastic reward for the trouble you went to there. The detail is truly remarkable. Did you move the focus ring, the bellows extension or the subject to make the stack?

Yes Don, they're very efficient at fulfilling the design brief!! I focus with the ring on the 200mm., Steve. It's a little complicated to explain, I'll put a shot of the arrangement up layer on........ Thanks for taking the time & the interest shown, Roger.

It's that time of year again. Condensation
It's interesting to me that in No 3 the droplets of condensation whilst random they have the appearance of forming concentric circles around the sun. Also Nos.3 and 4 are basically the same shot one in focus the other not.Good those Nigel. [quote:3496ace15f="1stEverPentax"]Good those Nigel. I'...

It's that time of year again. Condensation
Thank you for all your comments and feedback. It is reassuring when others see something of worth in what one has done. I do my photography for my own selfish enjoyment, when you do that you have to accept that what I do will not be for all and I am aware that these are more perhaps of interest rath...

A walk at Frampton on Severn on Sunday
thanks for comments, usually it's a pretty boring walk but the heavy clouds and position of the sun just made it so different this time plus a bit of Autumn hanging on. have always felt there was an image through that "avenue" of trees but could never see it until i looked back along it rather than ...

Local sunrise
By the time I decided to take the camera out this morning, I'd missed the best of it which could be seen from the back of our house. The most spectacular bits don't last long. Hope these give an idea - the colours are pretty much spot-on. K1, FA 28-105. Thanks for looking! 1 2 3 4

#s4 and 6 for me too. Lovely set. I hope revisiting them brought back some good memories too.

Super set this John... minimalist not only in terms of the compositions, which are excellent, but also the stripped back colour palette... lovely stuff... Best

More minimalism?
Thanks to all for your comments - glad these appealed as much as I hoped they would. I think the textures suggested by the patterns in the sand (which are constantly changing of course) are a vital element of added interest - but that could just be my thing about "lines" again. Andy, the plant i...
