All great shots Steve.

Matty · 22-04-2005, 19:15

another nice shot...did you 'see' that shot before you took it or rop it to be that shot?

Nice! Cropped just right too.

I sort of saw it, I had just missed a very similar shot due to the proximity of the train to a tree right at the side of the track ending up with it being moved into frame just as I had taken the shot so decided to be patient and wait with the camera for the next few minutes. I was looking ahead but generally only had a couple of seconds to acquire the shot, so this is the best of three for this subject.

Having just gone through some more images taken last week I have realised that I have more keepers than I thought. With this in mind it would take me past my next holiday before I displayed them all so I will throw up a few more at random intervals for you all to rip apart.

So far I have shown mainly landscape type shots but I photograph just about anything that catches my eye, and recently thanks to Matt I will also attempt to photograph animals.

Using sheep/lambs as a main subject I offer you two totally different shots..

Thank you dod, very kind of you.

Here is the first of the pictures I will add today.

Taken using the 20D again but this time with 50mm F1.8 lens and a 20mm extension tube. As the DOF is massively reduced when extension tubes are used this was shot at F8 to get the desired effect.

Hope you like?

My - what a productive week you had. It's all good stuff. I like the DOF inthe lamb shot.

Matty · 23-04-2005, 14:45

stunning detail for a shot resized to fit on the net Steve, well done!

Thanks for the comments so far ladies and gentlemen.

Here is another from the last week. Shot in a small church, I was drawn to the way the light was falling on the flowers at the front and the candlestick in the background. I have applied some selective dodging and burning to emphasize the subject but it is the lighting that makes this shot for me. Hopefully I have done this subject matter justice.

That's quite possibly THE best shot I've seen on here. I love it, absolutely beautiful.

seberri · 23-04-2005, 21:43

wonderfull really !!!

Thanks again for the coments gents..have you had enough yet?

Today’s offering was shot using natural light only. My Canon 50mm f1.8 lens shows unbelievable sharpness for such cheap glass. If you use Canon equipment and don’t already own a copy of this lens I would highly suggest adding onto you wish list. I think they can be picked up for a litt
