Only just got around to looking at this image. I like it. It is very sharp!

Taxi for Tony!!

Oh! I do like popping my head in here!
That made me chuckle

To be honest, no. And they are very comfortable too.

Thanks Tim. I'm quite proud of the sunglasses. I bought some Pince Nez glasses on Ebay and converted them to sunglasses. And yes, I usually carry a pocket watch. That one is my "going out" watch. I use a cheap one when in work, just in case it gets damaged. I get som stick on site when I turn up in a waistcoat with pocket watch

Thanks Algi, I wasn't aware of the Prescot watch museum. I must get along there one day!

Thanks Gareth.
I think you are right about the second one. I shoot in JPEG still ( never did get to grips with RAW ).
I'll try and tone it down a bit with some curve / levels adjustments.

I did particularly like th efirst one myself. I'd say the reflection was deliberate, but it was too dark in the room to see that until the flash fired

Well, in desperation to photograph something and needing an avatar for another forum; I decided to photograph my pocket watch.

I used long exposures, using the flash off camera, from differing angles, two or three flashes per exposure. I was hoping to catch movememnt in the second hand, but failed...never mind, try again.

C&C welcome.

I'd prefer "continue"

One word....WHY???

Are Grab SHots of Value?
Well, I think they can be. Looking at the question, I imnmediately thought of HCB and his shot of the man running in the rain. Yes, Henri must have already been there with his camera and tripod etc, but the shot itself must have been a "grab shot" as he couldn't have known someone was going to run across in that manner.
I had a look at this site

and there appears to be lots of his shots which I'd think of as grab shots. If I'm wrong, please educate me

As for your shots. I really like number one, the expression on her face is wonderful, however, the lamp being almost in focus, but not quite, troubles me...for some reason.

Well, life seems to be getting in the way of living, to paraphrase a clever man.

I don't seem to have had much time to spare lately and even less for photography. Last time I got my camera out was end of May

Still, I'll keep popping in to see how you guys are and hopefully get chance to get some photos. I've been inspired by Pink's Lemon and Lime shots, so I'm trying to convince the Mrs to let me make a mess and having a go myself.

You all keep having fun in my absence
