I like the way he lights the fuse and then steps back to watch the fireworks. Can't believe we're on page 4 of a silly pointless thread! all in good fun!:lol::lol::lol:

I'm Doomed
Just noticed a article to the right titled How To Take Good Photos At Airshows so I clicked on it and it's for Pentax User Plus Members Only... Well Mike to be honest I don't think you are missing anything. I found the article a little disappointing. It is quite short and seems to be aimed at the be...

I'm Doomed
Now I am doomed to take mundane pictures at the Bournemouth air show next month. :lol::lol::lol: I was rather hoping it was going give a few more tips on shooting the fast moving stuff like picking the focus point If you're going to pre-focus, the edge of the grass at the side of the runway...

I'm Doomed
, how avoid the frustration of end-to-end auto-focus hunting, Airshows are the only occasion I switch the camera to auto-select the focus point. It means you don't need to nail the passing aircraft to the centre of the frame, which I find almost impossible. Thanks Chris that sounds like a really...

Sounds like a good opportunity to use the "catch in focus" feature. Put the camera on a tripod facing a jump, set focal distance to somewhere between you and the brow of the jump, then wait.

the "inside of the bend" thing I'd taken to heart from the ice track. I nearly got caught once and decided to move rapidly and have learned from the experience :) If the weather's anything like decent, I figure that 1/400 is possible but I don't really want to go much faster than that unless I re...

I'm not sure about the landing side of a jump unless you're a good distance away. The advice I saw was to avoid them as cars may go out of control on landing! Junctions, use some sense. Don't stand in the road they're being signed away from as they often overshoot and then have to reverse to join...

...more Vivian Maier!!!
There is an exhibition of Maier's work on in London at the moment at the back of King's Cross in the German Gymnasium. It is part of the London Street Photography festival. There are three other exhibitions within a short walk including one in St Pancras and one in the British Library. K.

Me & my shadow
We all know that in news and cinema, getting yourself, and your shadow or reflection (many cases the boom mic, is simply considered an amateur mistake. Compound that mistake by breaking rules to cover it up, compound that cover up by doing it poorly... I think this does not qualify as a single mist...

Using Mirror's
Hi Les I think it does look to bright. A few questions first before I make any suggestions if thats ok. What size is your home made softbox? Is the softbox hand held or on a clamp bracket? What light source are you using flash wise? However, in the meantime have you considered any of th...

Photo Critique
What I have observed on occasion is that not long after I have commented on someone's gallery entry, they pay a reciprocal visit and leave a similar comment on my latest offering. I feel uncomfortable with that sort of 'mutual back-slapping' for want of a better expression. I look at subject m...

Quite right Doug, all members should be free to comment on photos in whatever way they wish. If people want in depth criticism they can and often do request it. It doesn't help anyone to debate the comments given by other people. We've been there before and it wasn't pretty. Focus on the content...

I really think that the OP here must remember that many of us here are still very much in the 'learner' category. We don't have the technical expertise of some of the other posters and therefore can't offer technical criticism . Are we therefore to refrain from making comments ? Is it wron...

This thread has occurred before! Its not what you do, but how you do it. Example. 1. a) The composition is dire and unbalanced. b) Have you tried cropping a little off the top? It might make the focal point sit more comfortably in the frame? 2. a) Its out of focus. b) Do you think t...

any advise on kingfisher
Should have also said Phil, that these aren't purely speculative visits. Where I was last Saturday, a bird was seen on the perch the previous weekend. Where I was last Sunday morning and today, a bird has been photographed on both Saturday an Monday on a perch (light only suitable in mornings,...
