Thanks Cliff, these are fascinating. I believe those 0-6-0s were popular with the NCB. Wasn't Bold Colliery somewhere near Rainhill, where they assembled the cavalcade in 1980? Think I cycled to Collins Green some time in 2005/6 for photography purposes, a long straight west to St Helens? Have...

Hi Peter, Yes Bold is just down the rd from Collins Green towards St Helens Junction. There where three 060 saddle tanks based there, Whiston,Joseph and Robert, I believe all three are now in preservation with various society`s. One of them was part of the cavalcade at Rainhill but cant remember ...

Had a go at portraits today
Yes, definitely can see a little colour in their faces. I like it! is when there aren't enough shades to produce a smooth gradient. You see it a lot in highly saturated photos (like a bright red flower) where you then further bump up the saturation. In your mono pic in the top right corner you ...

Test on Pentax 16-50mm
Njce and crisp! Great lens isn`t it! And so quiet on the K7! The only drawbacks that i have found with using the 16-50 is that if you use the built in flash you will get a dirty great shadow so you must use a separate Flash and use the built in one as trigger flash only, The second thing to watch o...

Is it supper time yet?
Colours: these are a result of my on-going struggle to get Lightroom 3 beta 2 to do what I am used to with Lightroom 1.4. Obviously they can be tweaked and adjusted to one's heart's content as I have the original RAW file. The issue appears to be that the graduated filter function isn't just balan...

Kris, I expect it to be a great read with useful insights, no? I'm looking at #3 too, thats a great shot, but I think some tones are needed in those trees. Maybe the use of the green, yellow and orange filter will do the trick. BTW, that is one hell of a dust particle in it! :D

Lake Minnewaska
It has certainly been a fascinating read, and in places very funny. I'd recommend it highly. There are some odd things going on in the sky on the third image, I don't think it is dust but may be an artefact of the way I processed the image. I'm going to revisit that one and have another go. ...

I had no idea this was, film :oops: You should be able to do the same in the darkroom most likely but I've never worked in one so can't say for sure. As if you want to do this on a digital camera, then yes you can but it's far easier to get results at home with your computer. What I did might...

A few through the window
Nice shots! I am very impressed with the level of detail in the Altai foothills shot considering it's taken through a passenger window. And it was probably a B777 you were on? A 737 can't fly that far, and I'd doubt it was a 767. However, both have a similar wing. I take quite a few shots out of ai...

Film's not dead! It just smells a bit funny...
Thanks very much, Kris and Hefty. I have always wondered about these things and you guys have helped me out, no end. I would love to own a Pentax 645 or 6x7/II but i'm not sure how long film stocks being sold on the market, will last. I'll definately be interested in seeing your 645 images, ...

Summer Approaches
The dead sky is just that there is no colour or texture at all in it. The overall lightness of the image could make it a dreamy image as it is quite a delicate treatment as well but it doesn't go that way for me anyway. So if it's not dreamy then it lacks punch and something to latch onto. ...

Pentax 645 at Vintage Vehicle Rally
The crop factor for 645 is about 0.6, so a 75mm lens has about the same angle of view as a 45mm lens in 35mm terms - a perfect normal walkabout lens really. If you added the 45mm (27mm equiv) and 150mm (90mm equiv) then you'd have a nice classic 3 lens line up with a common filter size and comparati...

Barrington Court, Somt. Inside and Out
Thanks everyone. I tried to do one or two different things with some of these. Was admirnig River and Orchard again this morning, and was wondering about that top edge. The forground leaves are in focus, but background leaves are OOF, yet the distant orchard is in focus? How did you manage that? ...

Skyline
I have too many different filter sizes to have polarisers for them all and when I have tried a CP I found it to be of ambiguous benefit but to be fair it was a cheap filter. I'm not sure what you mean 'something out of nothing' - there is a plethora of shapes and colours in there. It's my failing...

A Misty Morning in Beaumaris
The first one doesn't work for me I'm afraid. The character isn't part enough of the picture and I am unsure what I am looking at. The last one does work for me because of the lady selling tickets. I might have been tempted to get straight on though. "Becalmed" I love and would frame and put...

My England
I think Gary has done a great job in reconciling the darker shadowed areas with the intense light from the sky behind the church spire. Other than going to a HDR image, cropping of some shape or form is one option. Gary - do you run 'post' programmes that contain a grad filter per chance?

My England
A lovely scene and if i may I'll suggest a slight re-composition. Bright areas catch our eye, so the bright area top left is a little distracting. It pulls us away from the centre of interest, the pool of light bathing the lawn in a warm glow. If you cut out the areas to the left of the tree a...
