Hi all

For the last couple of years I've generally been trying to post series of images, which have a unifying theme or subject of some kind... it doesn't always work out like that though, and along the way I've collected a fair few "one offs" that simply don't fit into any kind of collection, but which I still rather like... and which I keep bumping into on my hard drive and thinking I should do something about... so here are some of them... various cameras (K5/K3/K3II and even one with the Z I think)...

Always great to see your work Bill, and these are typically fascinating... and obviously even more varied than your linked sets.

I particularly like #12... Clever composition and wonderful textures caught in the water... and #15 which is beautifully minimalist.

No doubt I'll dip in again for other looks

Wow, what a great set. 5, 6 and 12 are stupendous. If you ever fancy a companion on your landscape shoots, please let me know!

I think you have found a new 'collection' "good stuff wot I don't know where to put"
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

I think there is still a strong unifying element present, and that is your own unique personal style, which still shines through even over a set of quite different image types .... It always looks very polished and smooth, and makes me feel I've walked suddenly into a modern art gallery, or a posh artisan cafe in the trendy part of town ! Some aspects of the style will not have universal appeal, but its clearly there and consistent which is the important thing.

2, 5, 8 and 14 are the stand outs for me

A great set as usual and 6, 12 and 15 really grab my attention. The colours in 6 are amazing. 12 is so, so simple but effective with the long exposure.

Interesting mixture and some lovely images. No 3. doesn't do anything for me, but no. 15 is marvellous, 9 is lovely, and I rather like 5.

Excellent stuff. K.

An interesting and thoughtful project. No.2 is my favourite.
Best wishes,

2, 6, 9, 11, 12 and 15 for me are just brilliant , they all belong on a gallery wall.

I do enjoy your creative work also your "normal" work, i think most have taken a shine to 12, myself included and love the minimalism of 15.

Your work always shows you are trying to think a bit differently - compositions are sometimes classical and sometimes not, softness and sharpness are varied, colours often muted - but not always - you don't have a single style, and I personally think this is a great trait - you're also not afraid to present images that some might consider failures, but this is a great strength. As I've said before I always look forward to your images and this set is as welcome and enjoyed as your others - Cheers

2, 5, 11 and 15 are my pick and are stand out images in what is a very varied and very well photographed set.

Best regards
