I think we sometimes get too picky about precise composition. After all this is a fast moving action shot of an iconic subject. Hyram's picture captures the mood and the moment very well.

Yes Andrew, I got shots of the steps and the fabulous fan vaulting in the roof of the Chapter House. I've tried uploading the fan vaulting but the image just wont transfer. I'll try adding it later.

On a visit to Bath last week I made time to photograph Wells Cathedral, one of England's medieval glories. I got shots of the West Front, High Altar, fan vaulting in the Chapter House, the Scissors Arch and a medieval door with a 21st century security lock.

Lifelines
[IMG]http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy273/Davidtrout2/Lifelines.jpg[/IMG]
What: Abseiling window cleaners
Where: The Sage, Gateshead.
When: June 14 2011
Kit: K5+DA*50-135mm lens at 90mm.
Settings: 1/500sec at f9 -0.3 stop under exposed.
ISO: 200

I've certainly not been disappointed at the noise performance since getting a K5 - can't speak for the K20 but the K5 is way ahead of my K10 in handling noise.
Nice pics by the way Jon.

Thanks for the kind comments all. The cropping and positioning in #1 is deliberate. I wanted to retain the red barrier on the right because the line up looked like a colour chart. The colour of the elderly lady's bag matches that of the last barrier on the left, so she's going to get a match very soon.
David

Well done Glyn.

This is a really good set of pictures shot in challenging lighting conditions. I prefer the individual close ups of the band members.
David

Another fine set from you Smeggy. I love the close up eye and face shots.
David

Very good set Alan. I wonder if you saw some of my mates from Durham Photographic Society at Appleby, you already met some of them when we met up at North Shields Fish Quay recently
