Hi Dan,

I've changed it to "Broadway". I think it works a little better????

Cheers

Hi Tim,

I'll check that, although I think all my choices are menu only. (*ist DL)

Hi Dan,

I agree..

I chose it without much thought to be honest. The bottom font (Garamond Italic) was the last one I used previously, so I just used it again.. the top one, (Gallante Ultra-Light) was just random from the fonts visible..

I'll change it a little later, I've got both images open still.

Cheers

Liam

I promise this is the last one..

The plumage on the pheasants seemed so much more colourful where we stayed, so I took this.




Even though I autofocussed on the body of the pheasant, it seems to be slightly beyond the focal point, judging by the tree bark??? I think it works as a composition though.

As I said in my previous post, I intend to do a series of these on my website, so critique welcome, especially re. the presentation.

Cheers

Liam

I'll beer [sic!] that in mind Tim..

Hi Tim,

http://www.centerparcs.co.uk/villages/whinfell/index.jsp

It's about 3 miles east of Penrith (J40 M6). Didn't see any for the first two days, then saw one from a distance on the Wenesday afternoon.. didn't have the camera.. Then I was standing outside the chalet on Thursday morning, with a cupa and a fag, and there was one running about in the distance. Got the camera just in time for it to run in front of me about 20' away. Saw it two or three times after that, but this is one of the best.. they're difficult to capture, because they rarely seem to stand still.

EDIT.. I'll ignore your edit..

Cheers

Liam

Hi all,

this is where John's posting his piccys, so I'll do likewise.




We went to Cumbria last week, and as I seem to take more and more wildlife pictures, I thought I'd start a series of them on my website.. eventually; hence the posh framing etc.. (inspiration by Ammonyte Tim.. hope it's not too close a copy.. I'll change it if it is)

The red squirrel is relatively rare on these shores, and you certainly won't see many South of Manchester..**

One decided to have a run around in front of the chalet we stayed at, and is now made famous.

Cheers

Liam

Hi Matt,

That'll explain it, I haven't got any extensions loaded.. I just use it (and all the others) to check that my web sites work.

Re: Avant.. that's the beauty of it. IIRC, when using most other third party browsers, you still need IE for updates etc, and to access certain pages.. I don't have to switch between browsers for this. I think it uses the IE7 engine now as well, and the security etc, has always been better, with updates almost monthly, rather tahn when MS gets around to it..

Cheers

Liam

Hi Will,

I agree, but if you use IE7, in the bottom right corner, you have a zoom option, so you can scale the page down to view the whole picture. This option is also available in AVANT browser.. the one I use. I cant see the option in FF, but I have a fairly old version, and if IE now has it, I'd hope it's in a later version. Opera has teh same facility under View | Zoom.

HTH

Hi Pete,

1 & 3 are my favourites. As a suggestion for 5, as you have a couple of nice bold colours in the lifebelt casing and the bench, how about upping the saturation, even over doing it a bit (or a lot) and getting a bit of punch from them. I personally like OTT colour in something like this, real in yer face.

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I think the subject lends itself to it.

Cheers

Liam
