I don't know about birds, but I think colour street shots don't go down too well.....

What's most impressive (apart from the faultless technique) is the fact that you've made so much of these most common of flowers, Roger.
I'll second that.

Nice pictures, I really like the the fourth one, and the fifth one is excellent, I love the composition, the soft colours and the DOF.

I quite like the second one, but the third, especially the B+W crop, is excellent!

I just checked out your Infra-red images, and I really like those. Great stuff.
I just did the same, and I agree!

Nice shots, especially the first two. They could both benefit from a sqaurer crop IMHO.

Yes I think that would p#*% me off too.......have you tried resubmitting it? Both the ones I resubmitted for the same reason got in on the second attempt.

Thanks again for the comments!

How about Eight Miles High?

Plus, ever tried any stitched panoramas? They could be amazing.
I have tried panoramas, but there are a lot of technical difficulties: reflections, flare, dirt on the windscreen, very different light in different parts of the sky. I'll persevere though!

Amazing pics!!!

I'd love to do a fish eye shot from up there.
I have tried the Sigma 10-20 on occassion, though the same problems apply! Managed a few though. Most of my shots end up being around 24mm, which is why I have started using the 24mm Sigma.

If anyone is interested is seeing more, there are more aerial shots on my Flickr page, in the set Through The Looking Glass.

I got a few shots of thunderstorms at night on my way back from Osaka last night (just got home!), I am hoping at least one is usable!

I love the first one, the second is nice too, but I wish a bit more of the building was in view. What lens did you use? The second and third look like they could have done with a wider one, 10mm perhaps?

Thanks for the comments, I hadn't thought beyond a Blurb book, for my own amusement and friends/family. I have been working erratically on it for a while....the working title is Through The Looking Glass, which is the folder name on my website and Flickr for aerial shots. After all these positive comments, maybe I'll approach a publisher...
