there are 3 big lakes on the Wentworth estate at Greaseborough, about 2-3 miles away, great for wildlife / birds if you have any telephoto lenses. Another couple that are similar are denaby ings, Worsborough Reservoir, old moor wetlands and Sprotbrough flash. Poterick carr a bit further away...

cheers guys - i've been doing the angle poise light thing already - guess I'll stick with that then for the time being Oh and Jockwav thanks you've just saved me some £'s

Hi All, First up - I've never been into artificial lighting much - more of an outdoors togger to be honest. But I have recently got a light tent and a few coloured perspex backgrounds with which to take indoor still lifes / shots with when the weather gods aren't playing. What i do...

No probs - you really had me stumped looking for a NEW context in there :-)

HI Andrew, Really like the first shot - very atmospheric The NEW shot is pretty good too - the angle it is shot at gives it an almost horselike (neck / head ) appearance. The bokeh and plain background make the subject stand out for me too. Ian

Hi Jackie, I would have to agree with the distractions in the shot you point out, but the shot still gave me a smile. Really sharp on the eyes & I love the contrasty colours Good luck with the remaining 51 :D

HI Kev, nice portrait, good eye contact, DOF and angle. Were you taking this to fit in with this weeks theme - if so I don;t see why it is NEW

For week 2's theme I wanted to try something NEW, and incorporate the theme as well. So I bought a reversing ring for my nifty a few months back and never really used it - so this extreme DOF technique was new to me. This shot is taken with the 50 reversed and a 31mm extension tube- hope you...

Hi Ian, Nice DOF and composition - liking the blue, red, creamy colour contrasts as well. Ian

Hi Tony, just a little too much DOF for me, if the back of the jar was a little more sharp then I would have preferred it. I do like the concept on the theme though. Ian

this made me laugh - love the humour. It's also a great shot - really sharp and striking contrast in the colours Ian

Hi Gary, Nice shot - the light is a bit flat, & I think I would have gone for a tighter crop to show the bird's detail a little more. Oh and a +1 for the friend Ian

What a great shot James, nice take on the theme - but those colours are cracking Ian

Haven't seen one of those bodies in years. Nice shot & good take on the theme

Thanks Michael - pretty lucky to have such a wonderful set of ruins 10 minutes from my door :). I always find it amazing to visit places like this and wonder what it would have been like. There is one wall, where the Prior's fireplace is about 10feet off the floor (i.e. second floor) and it just...
