Just got back from holiday. Two weeks in a very wet North East England.

Now, I have loads of photos ( over 300 I think ) which I need to whittle down and put some on here for c&c.

So...do I use the "your Photos" board, or am I best using the new "My Portfolio" feature and posting them in there?
Or doesn't it really matter?

It'll be a few days before I post any. Only got back today and haven't had a good look at what I've got yet. So that 300 might become 3

Very nice photos, but I'm going to be the contrary one. I prefer the first picture. I like the way the water line arches around leading the eye straight up to to the rock.

Our library is a very stern looking concrete building, with some interesting lines. So I thought I'd take my camera along on a visit and see what I could do with it.
This is ( in my opinion ) the best of the bunch. What do you guys think?
C&C please.

I liked the split screen focusing on my Super ME, but can't seem to get to grips with the focusing on my *istDL. As (kindly) pointed out by you guys, some of my early pics were slightly out of focus, ( I can actually see that now!). So I've taken to use auto focus as a method of training my eye, but I do like the idea of going back to manual focus.

On my 70-162mm lens I don't have the option of auto, and my focus hasn't been criticised when I've used that. But that might have been luck.

Now, now. I seem to recall a question about the "artistic eye". Just for asking that question, you are above level one. And since you claim you're not rich, and you're not a professional, you're automatically boosted up to level 4. That's over halfway to nirvana, way to go! Feel better?
Oh, thanks...I feel much better now

I don't think I'll bother trying to take photos until totality, Robert.
If you are taking photos through the viewfinder...be VERY careful. Even slightly either side of totality is enough to damage your eyes!! And totality doesn't last that long.

But if it works out for you..don't forget to show us!
