    A lovely evening in the lake district!

    :) Lovely, particularly the first two swan photos.

    Who Sank (and Nicked) My Barge? New Image added.

    :thumbs: I like the upside-down crop. Really good reflections. Maybe just tweak the exposure and saturate a bit to give it a tad more zing!

    An orange Gerbera...

    These are lovely Betty! Clarity and striking colour. Gerberas are just SO photogenic :) Even from the underside! (Don't think I've posted many of my flower pics here yet) The frame sets it off nicely too.

    Blimey - I sold an image :)

    Excellent news :clap: Well done on your first sale.

    What are you up to over the weekend?

    On a motorway bridge to try to get some shots of the Colin McRae tribute convoy heading south :)

    Poems & Pictures - One Man

    :) Though my childhood wasn't in London, the sentiments relating to that era I can relate to!

    Where have you been thrown out of?

    Stopped by police in an off-the-beaten-track 'street' in Venice. I hardly speak a word of Italian, and them no English, but they pointed at the camera, so all I could think to do was show them the preview of all the pics on the card. They then let our group carry on our merry way! As we...

    Time for a change......

    Hi... I'm a relative newbie to photography (at my late age!). There's so much to learn, and with digital for many it's far too easy to just snap away without any thought going into the image creation/creativity. I've heard of a few folks recently that have been into photography as a profession...

    Before or after?

    Nope, it's Lyme Park House gardens, just off the A6 near Stockport.

    These are all great captures :D Lots of feeling about them.

    Mexican Colour

    Ah, sunshine, warmth and long and lazy summer, blue-skied days! [Looks wistfully through the window at a flat grey and green landscape utterly lacking vibrancy :( ] Therefore the rich colours of 'Blanket' are stunning and the weave is nice and sharp too :) 'Feet' is an excellent shot against...

    Tinsley Towers (Sheffield) Demolition pics.

    Excellent shots :) Really well captured imho! My son took a small video cam which he just showed me - certainly not a crisp and clear as these. Well done! Ditto a shame they've gone; the landscape's drastically changed overnight forever.

    Before or after?

    Cheers all :) I'll have another go at it soon.

    Before or after?

    Trying out Photomatix again and would appreciate any comments/thoughts. Two duplicates of one exposure at -2 and +2. Not sure whether that's a good way fo going about it though, and I'm not entirely happy with either of them now :thinking:. Thanks Last of the afternoon light before...

    Flower's .Flower's. Flower's. 5 shots...!!

    I'm a sucker for calla lilies! For me the 3rd, purple lily is outstanding for the shapes and clarity :) Well done too with the gerberas, though they are just a tad too bright for me.
