Cracking shot, I love the expression on his dear little face

Nice images Hyram, I like the of Antony but wd have cropped out that blokes arm.
What is the significance of the blacked up faces anyway, do you know!?

These are just a few of the main day tried to take a few quirky ones. the first 5 are of the Hal an Tow event at 0830am, the saying goodbye of winter and bringing in of summer:









The guy in the centre in brown is our MP Andrew Martin with a millstone around his middle!













This is Nigel & his son who live in Gypsy Lane, a very cultured gentlemen selling Lily of the Valley which everyone wears on this very specila day here.



Some of the ladies from the midday dance.















Jethro's brother on the right in Lismore Gardens where the mid-day dance ends.

Lilly

Yes it is that time again when the men get out their hankies and staffs and try to knock hell out of each other in a cultural way.
Thought I wd share these with you of Wednesday evening, it was a superb summers evening as well.




This was taken before they all got started, at my local, The Blue Anchor which brews it's own ale 'spingo'. I do love this window seat for taking folks portraits whatever time of the day.































All taken with K10D & 50mm 1.4FA which was an ideal choice as it happened, all have my logo on as these were put to local rag for this weeks West Briton.
Hope you enjoy

Interesting question Gwyn.

Most of my printing goes on handmade photo art cards that I sell, so it's usually 4x6, so I do get to see quite a few.

However, I have just begun to print one A4 fav mono image that sums up the experience of each country I have visited, which is framed and hung on the wall.

As to holiday/travel pics I still make up an album for each trip of the best say 200 shots, with notes, as I have awful memory and wd never remember names or places etc and that to me is so bad not knowing where the hec you've been!

My next plan with the K10D as now I am up to 6000, is to print an A4 of each my most stunning shots onto archival paper and store in acid free sleeves to create my portfolio. My (80 years!) friend who is working towards her ARPS is doing this and it looks good.

A3 enlargements have been very satisfactory as Matt says from ProAm, in fact I was amazed at the quality for £1! Family members have a few of my A3 prints framed on their walls, which is very nice and at that price it seems crazy to spend out on an A3 printer for the time being. The toned monowork that came back from them was top quality as well.

I must admit I get much more satisfaction from my prints now than I do from the screen.

Just stunning!

Nah, I wdn't bother!

Sure do, I would be lost at weddings, to be sure!

I think your photography has improved greatly Pete, but IMHO they are all too clinical and predictable for my taste, there just isn't that extra feeling of mystery, but then I do shoot very different stuff, wouldn't be good for us all to be the same would it?
