Just a few I took wondering around a beautifully crisp cold York this morning.
I B&W converted the Duck/Canal photos because there was so little colour in there it looked a little odd. Don't normally go for B&W so I'd like to hear if I made the right call!

Really good - I think 1 is actually slightly too misty - If the top of Big Ben was peaking out the mist it would look great, but for me you cant quite make out the definition enough - Much prefer 3 in that respect.

2 Is simply very beautiful.

Love #3, although I'd loose the bridge - didn't realise it was part of the picture at first and I prefer the lower perspective without it as your eyes skim over the tracks towards the train.

Another student! Welcome to the forum

Quite an interesting and bizarre case.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I'm using the Pentax 50-200mm SMC DAL kit lens. I tended to use as low an aperture as I could get away with, as much to keep the shutter speed quick as anything, and these are the dof I ended up with. Is it possible to get a shallower depth?

My first ever effort at Sports photography for the student newspaper in York. It was definitely a lot harder than I thought, given I took quite a lot of photos I wasn't totally happy with the amount of decent ones. I guess that's part of sports work though, you have to take loads till you capture the good moment.
This is the indoor set, I found the lighting much harder to manage in what is basically a massive room with strip lighting and canvass walls, so the ambient light changes but it's still harsh orange light most of the time.

Anyway, C&C very welcome, I'll be doing some more soon so I need to up my game!
