Awesome shots... you got lucky with the light! My favourite is shot 2. The clouds in no.3 are extraordinary. The fisheye distortion in no. 4 is a bit much for me, but more than acceptable in shot 5 IMO.

Got mine today - very pleased with it... better built and much more advanced than I was expecting! I'm a skinflint so I was still thinking 89.00 was a bit dear, but now I can appreciate what a bargain this was.

Ridiculous situation... although to be fair, the way he took the PCSO's picture as she questioned him was BOUND to wind her up.

Ah well... I don't want to sound 'BNPish' but it's another stop and search of a white individual under prevention of terrorism to try and make the police look 'non discriminatory'!

It's nice, as John says, a tad too much in the FG although the silhoetted geese against the mist, and the streak of light, look great.

Very nice idea, detail and sharpness but to get the arch more, um, perpendicular, it would have been an idea to move back and perhaps zoom in slightly. As it is the arch looks 'squeezed in'.

They look pretty good to me, like the strict yellow and green colour palette.

That's a nice idea, Yves. And I am sure many kids would enjoy the boldness of some of Eggleton's images, and how they stimulate the imagination.

But I am not entirely convinced, cos by your method, any picture featuring a shark or a gross dead body with its guts hanging out would instantly be 'art', if I remember my own tastes from childhood (yeah and much of my adulthood too!)

You could use the Emperors new clothes line about so much stuff though.

I wasn't really aware of him, but after looking at more of his shots he seems to create slightly unnerving dream-like images out of everyday subject matter...link

Maybe it's not for everyone but it certainly gets me excited.

Ah! TBH the point I was making is that his style could be achieved with any sort of kit... disposable camera even, although that wouldn't work too well blown up for an exhibition.

There's something to be said for all styles of photography, whether it aspires to be taken seriously as an artform, or grace the front of the Countryfile calendar. I wouldn't want to be dismissive, as at least he - and others such as Martin Parr - is making us look at mundane subjects in a new way.
