John - I love the colours both through the trees and in the leaves under them.

Congratulations to you both.

A very interesting start - I don't recall seeing that many bulls on the gallery!

It's beautifully sharp where it needs to be and I think that the square crop works really well for the image. I'm not to bothered by the woman in the background, but I probably would succumb to the temptation to darken and blur her a little more.

Even better than one of these is a can of Air Duster spray if used properly (e.g. Kenro Kenair, or similar - I use the 5 Star Air Duster), but you need to make sure that you always follow the instructions and keep the can upright in use and give it a couple of 'puffs' before using it on your camera or lens.

It's always a good idea to change lenses in as dust free environment as practicable, and keep the camera pointing downwards (or at least not upwards!). I also keep the lens mount end pointing down until I actually put them together. I change lenses pretty frequently and have very rarely had a dust problem.

Nice set - I particularly like 1 & 2. How do you find the Sigma 10-20? (I'm very partial to my copy)

Phil

+1 - I look forward to seeing more.

#1 for me as well. I like the shafts of sunlight at the top. I'm not too bothered about an additional crop as you have got the shadow patterns on the grass.

Very nice - I like the treatment.

I was there on Saturday morning and if I have one from the same perspective, I will have to compare it
with yours to check out the "new" damage.

Phil

Very classy - the exposure and detail on the chapter ring is great.

Phil

+3 to all the above; another cracking B&W.

Phil

Just love it!
