Keep taking these texture pictures, they can be very rewarding subject matter.

I'm just as chuffed with your reactions as I am with the new camera.
A couple of comments:
Alan, yes the train on the bridge seemed to be slighttly skewed to me too but when I put it onto the distort grid it was perfectly level.
Jonathan: Yes there is an unsightly smudge in the first picture. It was a distorted bit of reflection which added nothing to the image so I cloned it. I carelessly overlooked cleaning it up. Thanks for pointing it out.
Gwyn: You can have some of our blue skies, the prevailing wind is from here towards The Netherlands and Scandinavia. Be warned though, there are gales and a lot of wet weather as well.
Tony: Who or what is Bromborough?

Nice ones, particularly the moon shot.

Another timely example

Another shot on the K5 of reflections at Eldon Square, Newcastle.
I'm finding with the K5 I have much less work to do in Photoshop after converting from RAW than I did with the K10. I've not had to do any noise reduction yet.
Thanks for your comments. Yes Andrew, some my latest K5 pictures will become A3 prints

As Paul has already pointed out the boat on the left was a distraction and not adding any interest to the image especially with it right on the edge of the frame.
The other suggestions and example of cropping the bottom has also removed a large area from the bottom and bottom right that had little interest, David has argued that the reflection of the cloud could have been left in but doing so would have resulted in the image being split equally in two by the horizon, I'm surprised David didn't notice that he must be more interested in his new camera
The half way horizon is one of those rules of photography that I'm personally quite happy to ignore from time to time. In this case if the horizon across the centre of the image upsets you then get rid of some of the sky. Keep that glorious blue reflection which gets deeper and deeper towards the bottom of the image. My new K5 agrees with me on this.Quote:
I agree it does look better cropped.
It would probably help to explain why the cropped image works better than the original;I agree it does look better cropped.

PS I agree about getting rid of the boat though.

I disagree about the crop from the bottom. As I said when you entered this in the Gallery I like the wet sand reflections along the bottom of the image.

Nice one Sophia. Quite a few of us from this Forum where there at Whitby. If we'd known you then we could have met up.
Welcome to PU.

That last one is absolutely super. Love it Gary. The colour in the others is very striking.

Half time

Swing Bridge

High level train

Cathedral window detail
[IMG]http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy273/Davidtrout2/Cathedralwindowdetail.jpg[/IMG]
The Swing Bridge picture was taken using a Sigma 10-20mm lens at 10mm. The remainder on DA*50-150mm lens, all handheld.
All at 200ISO except the Cathedral window, which was 400ISO. No noise reduction applied PP.
The Cathedral window and Half time are both heavy crops from the original images.
Comments are welcome.
