From the weekend.

[daveyuk]

Sorry folks I've been (feels like sent) away on training so I haven't seen the bit of do that I caused at the weekend, appologies up font from my part.

I went for an early Sunday morning walk round my local country park not really knowing what to take so I just played around with a few ideas and this is what I came up with.

The burnt out reflections spoil number 2 a bit for me.

:lol: at #6

Must get out and chase some more bugs....

I hate spiders, but I do like those spider shots!

[daveyuk]

As far as I know he's still on the kitchen wall :lol: :lol:

a good varied bunch of shots there Davey, the spider shots are the best I reckon but the ducks are cute too :)

I like the still lake one myself, It's quite abstract, even more so if you remove the title from 'neath it.

[matty]

bugs are great, the airplane is also very good, the first duck shots are ok, but the reflection shots dont really float my proverbial!

[daveyuk]

Matty you win some and you lose some. They kinda work for me but I think I need some more practice :lol: :lol:

some great shots davey, not sure about the duck ones, they feel a bit odd, which lens etc did you use ? and was it handheld ? looks like maybe some very light camera shake has crept in.

The reflection shots are nice, and abstract as Ghandi pointed out.

Cant say i like the spider ones, not for any technical reasons i just dont like spiders, not afraid of them, just not cute or cuddly things ! lol

[daveyuk]

Ian, the duck shots where taken with my Sigma X2 TC and my Sigma 70-200 pushed to the limit. I also had to push the ISO to 800 so they're a bit noisey plus I wasn't sitting so comfy, so that might have had something to do with it.
I'll have another go sometime with the reflections maybe try a couple filters not sure at the moment.
