Summer day ?

[chewyuk]

Well I took the chance last Saturday to go out for a walk in the Vale of Glamorgan, here's a few shots of the day ...

little on the indigo side mate, but love the effect in the grasses!
:thumbs:

EDIT - sorry - the rest look pretty damn good. didn't load first time!

[Hoodi]

Cor, liking these - first seems a bit "stodgy" but ace stuff!

So come on, where were they? :D

Very nice, only one I don't think works is the wind blur on the first one, kinda looks like a monkey attacked it with the clone tool in photoshop.

I really like the second one with the tree to the top right though :)

Ahhh Mr Hoodi - We shall go :)
Just past Culverhouse Cross on way to Southerndown, spotted the location a few weeks back and thought I'd go back, bit of fence jumping involved but great location.

I see what you all say about shot 1, however I had 3 ND grads attached to try and get a slow enough shutter speed for some grass blur, perhaps a little too much !
Looking at them now they do all seem a bit random, especially the last abandoned restaurant.

The blur on the fourth is utter perfection, because the thinner grass has obvious motion yet the thicker bits have stayed put, in the first, everything has moved and there is no detail anywhere.

Agreed,

#1 could of been such a better shot, it's unfortunately just too windy and too long having the shutter open.

#2 I like but it doesn't seem level?

#4 is just great motion blur.

[chewyuk]

Cheers for comments, funny isn't it what conditions do.
The shutter speed and aperture is the same for both shots, just very windy on shot one.

[Dark Star]

Love the landscapes, especially the composition of #1 & #2 and particularly like the last shot - theres something about the angle of the words 'For Fish', the lines of the cladding and the angle of the shot that works really well imo!

No3 the flower really stands out for me.....the others I think the skies as mentioned are a little indigo.

[photostar_1]

I really like the fish sign(:cuckoo: ) ... though I'm at work (:razz: ) so it looks a touch dark at the top....I have a ***p monitor! The skies all look good, but the other bits I'll leave to the others comments.

[HIMUPNORTH]

Only crib is the sky colour in #1. Apart from that I would say fan-bloody-tastic mate! :thumbs:

[Ewan]

Number 4 rocks :D Great sky.

[alexisonfire]

No.1 as others have said, the blurring is far too much.

Loving no.2, don't really have any criticm for it tbh. :D

No.3 does nothing for me im afraid.

No.4 is a beautiful photo, but imo the top half needs sharpening. (trees and sky)

No.5 composition is spot on, exposure and sharpness is very good as well, but i can imagine the light from a warm rich sunset shining on to the wood, and because its not there i just can't seem to bring myself to like the photo, this is a personal opinion though :p

[chewyuk]

Think I have a little work to do here, great feedback everyone, think a revisit is needed :)

Was going to say the exact same thing. (Well apart from the monkey bit.)

The rest are awsome though.

I do like fish, and the last is no exception. Fantastic shot.
