A few weeks ago, I overheard on the radio that the local station was having a competition to have listener's photos featured on their 2015 calendar. Since I am in and around York a lot with my camera waiting for my wife to finish work, I have lots of shots from around the city so I sent a set...

Thank you chaps! :)

I am going to join in the 52 for 2015 too. I will be using the Nikonites subject list in any order and any lens... I may also post more than one shot a week. Abandoned Arches Architecture Bark Black and White Broken Chairs and benches City/Town/Where I live Close-up Coiled...

Some great responses and ideas, thanks again J-see & @wornish I had a crack at some of the shots with people in last night, and the kids are easy - They were lit better, so I used lower ISO, plus their faces have much fewer lines & creases than the adults! :rolleyes: I will have a look at...

Hi All, I have always struggled a bit with noise reduction - It seems like guess work to me! Last night I was shooting a school nativity, and while I arranged with the school for the main shoot to be at the dressed rehearsal where I could move around freely, I still took some shots "On the...

The rules of composition aren't always hard and fast, but as Tracey says they are guides that help make your pictures more appealing and draw the eyes to the part of picture you want the viewer to notice... One thing I do notice, especially when looking at the crop @Blacktop made, is that none...

This isn't a one off deal as such just a review of my experience with a supplier, but I thought it may be useful to others and this seems to be the most appropriate area to post - Mods please feel free to move or remove if needed! There are a lot of places that charge fairly hefty deposits or...

Thank you @VanillaPaw :) - And welcome to the forum!

Thanks for your kind words everyone, looking at the two versions together, I agree that the black & white works better. @Pretzel - It does feel a bit more sinister... some other versions I tried first were either "too grey" or blocked out the shadows, the effect I landed on here was the "Wet...

Here's a shot I took the other night after a day of rain - It is of the Shambles, a medieval street in the city of York.

It is a BEAST mate! In the words of @Pretzel - "A PRIMAL BEAST"! :)

Welcome, Moose! I know the Humber bridge well - I live 30 miles up the road in York, (Also forum member @mikew live just the other side of the bridge) so I have a few shots of the bridge myself (Have a look at my gallery). As others have said, the main thing to get these types of shots better is...

I was visiting a sculpture park this week (Until it rained!) and it dawned on me very quickly just how difficult these modern types of art are to photograph (At least for me)... I was after some feedback and ideas of how other would approach this type of shot?

This impressed me, and also made me laugh - The creator's Flickr has some funny shots too This Single LEGO Brick is a Working Pinhole Camera that Captures Teeny Pictures

They look fantastic Scott - Great job @Ironwood :cool:

Quite an interesting read. It shows that persistence can pay off! BBC News - Northerners: Rory Lewis photographs Gandalf and a general

Hi, I'm guessing this is more a request for @jdeg - But I will post here so others can be updated if they wish.... Is it possible to update the checks made when I change my email address in the control panel please? I bought a .photography domain a while ago, just in case I decide in future to...

Thanks Mike, I think the 50-500 fits my preferred focal length requirements - I'll maybe look at hiring one sometime soon and giving it a run out! A very good idea @BrawlerO ... The benefit of the 70-200 sharpness, and the "Extra legs" when needed..... So many options!

Hi All, I'm thinking of upgrading my 55-300mm, and I'm stuck on what options to look at with a budget of up to around £1000. I would be looking to shoot mainly general wildlife, zoo trips etc. Looking at my favourite 55-300mm shots, 75% of them seem to fall in the 100-300mm range. On the one...

@singlerosa and @aroy have pretty much answered your question, I just wanted to say welocme to the forum - And post up your pics after the gathering so we can see how you got on! Good luck :)
