Grrr... someone told me the links were not working, now I get tiny thumbnails

WTF?

EDIT: I think i got it, why doesn't it just let you link images directly like everywhere else I've used?

Anyone still have problems?

EDIT2: Cool, EXIF works

Well, finally got round to getting a web album. Didn't know I automatically had one with Google, so that was a nice surprise. Was going to get Flikr but I hate Yahoo.

So was I, not really what I expected to see. Then again I've never done any studio work so can only give my opinion on the final result.

Elephant? ICBM.

With the first image I think the shadow on the right of the nose is a little too pronounced and makes the eye look overly deep. Not sure about the light in the eyes, I think the softbox (or umbrella) reflection is too visible... (strange square thing in the eye). Good mix of softness and texture where needed and evenly lit (where intended).

The second image is very flat but, it suits it. Were you looking for that effect? (Especially the lower half and hair). Again I think the right eye looks a little too deep in shadow.

It is an autofocus lens so I don't have to worry about manual focusing perfectly. It is very difficult to get it spot on, even with the AF sensor telling you when it is supposedly in focus.

I really like the gate and door.

DoF on mine is rather shallow as they are taken at F1.7 so I could have the shot hand held. Also wanted that 'down the aisle dreamy look. Unfortunately my focusing was a little off and the organ is in focus not the altar

I really want a FA50f1.4 so I don't have to worry about MF being spot on.

LOL




My version taken from five bollards (the things you moor a boat to) forward from where Dave's pic was taken.

This tower is straight:


Does have a fair few cracks though...

I wonder if he charged the camera crew filming weird modified toasters?

Thanks, that would be very good as I really want to get out and explore the surrounding areas more.

My gear bag isn't that big... Sadly though it is mostly empty. I think the tripod got in the way more than anything.

I actually felt as if I'd not really gotten very many at all. Thirty nine exposures in all out of which I kept twenty two. Could have been a little more trigger happy if I'd been willing to swap lenses more. Unfortunately I thought it a clever idea to bring my tripod which restricted access to my bag and added extra weight all day. I really didn't need it and didn't use it, especially as for the indoor shots I had my A50f1.7 wish it had AF though)

Lessons learned:

Leave tripod behind unless you know you'll need it.

Get an AF fast 50mm prime (a couple of manual focus shots were out of focus), or split prism focusing screen.


Tasks not achieved:

Get a photo for the flight competition (I completely forgot).



Get a move on with your photos Took me 15 mins to sort mine out, although I still need to change my uploaded 'The Door to Number Twelve' to the slightly more vibrant version.
