I don't want to sound like I'm jumping on a band-wagon, but ajar and post-mortem are great shots to my mind!!, with ajar edging it I think. Really great pic, and a great set. Again.

I have shot film but a long time ago when I was at school - I used to really enjoy developing the negatives and then using the darkrooms to get creative. That said, once I lost the easy access to the darkroom and generally became a student (:shock that faded away somewhat. I then had (briefly) an APS point and shoot, before getting a digital point and shoot and now digital SLR. I love digital now because it means I can have that same process of trying to create an image in my front room. With the lights on. I can't imagine using film again, although looking at Nick Brandt's pictures of wildlife in Africa I keep getting a pang to have a go with a Pentax 67...

I don't seem to take that many shots, and then find that I do actually PP the majority of them and think they have merit (to my mind, I should add), so I have gone for "small number, most good". That said I do sometimes cull weak shots as I go in camera... Certainly if I am photographing a single scene I will not fire off loads of shots. Normally just one or two.

Mat

Great shots! Think the first is my favourite - looks like a pretty decent DOF as well. Nice one!

Mat W

Not quite - I think I prefer the first. Both are very nice shots! but somehow I prefer the 'shape' of the figure in the first one; not so worried about his/her placement. Wish I could put my finger on why I prefer the first in more detail though...

No worries, for each picture you wish to post you need a link which is on the flickr site. From your photostream, click on whatever picture you want to post and it'll appear on it's own page and one of the options above it will say "all sizes". Click on that and the picture will appear as 'large', but you can then select thunbnail, small, medium, or original (really big). if you click on the option you want (I use medium for portrait shots or large for landscape format), the image will appear at that size and there will be two addresses below it. You need to copy the second one, which will look something like:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2712/4432672974_15548d0.jpg

(dummy link)

Then come to the forum, and where you want to post the picture, click on the 'image' button below the text box and you will get a symbol which looks something like this:

[img][img]

(it will have a backslash as well within the second square brackets)

Now paste the 'http://...' address between the first [img] and the second one with the backslash in it (no spaces) and then when you hit the 'preview comment' button below, you should see your shot, and of course when you hit 'add comment' at the end of your post the whole thing appears in the forum...

I fall somewhere between the bottom two options... pure hobbyist, but I don't keep what I shoot to myself as I post some of it here. Never won any competitions though... ... one day...

I had some issues uploading for the first time but once I'd cracked it, I'd cracked it... Whereabouts do you have the photos you want to upload stored - I use Flickr and can provide instructions on how to upload from Flickr if that would help????

Mat

Thanks Shane - appreciated very much. I shall be giving it a try in the near future I hope... Keep an eye out for any results...

I agree with everyone else - great set - more dereliction. I think number 4 is my favourite. I can't help thinking it's a shame it's going to be replaced by vanilla housing (what the market requires I guess - don't get me wrong I'm not against houses) - it would be a great place for a band practice (I play guitar in two bands)...
