Great job, a really good collection.

You'll definitely have to go back and spend a little time there - there is so much to see.

Another good show - it only goes to further prove, if needed, that it's the bit behind the camera that makes the shot. That being said, the dynamic range on show in these is pretty impressive as well.

Another fine set - nos. 3 & 8 are my particular favourites.

With a monopod there still has to be some movement, however slight. Therefore I would use SR.

'People shots' are most definately not my thing, but I do occasionally take them. These two were both taken in Perugia during a recent trip to Umbria. Comments & constructive criticism would be most welcome.

1 - I spotted this gentlemen enjoying his morning ‘passeggiata’ through Perugia’s market. He was beautifully dressed, with a red velvet bow tie, cane and two-tone brogues. He was delighted to stop, exchange a few words and have his photo taken.

2 - A street vendor near the Piazza IV Novembre in the historic centre of Perugia. He was selling a massive variety of scarves, hats and fans producing a riot of colour. I thought that he had a certain elegance with his white trousers with matching shoes and fan!

This is just an example of the quality of the Daily Mail - the image is DEFINITELY not of a small tortoise shell (or a large one either). I'm not sure what the butterfly in their article is, but it looks a bit like a Tiger Longwing - a tropical species, just shoddy journalism. Viscount Rothermere must be turning in his grave.

Looks like a small tortoiseshell to me (but I'm no expert!!)
