There's a real sense of foreboding in your picture which evokes feelings of fear in me. What a splendid capture of mood.

These are beautiful. Regarding the first 3, what is your technique? I'm really interested to know how you lit them as well as any post-processing you applied. The blog is such an interesting read, and an even more satisfying view. Thanks for posting it.

First time photographing birds, and I'm still relatively new to photography, so I'm quite proud of this little series. All taken on Pentax K-3 with the 18-135 kit lens.

here's a translator for anybody who wishes to translate anything into Ermahgerd speak.

Ermahgerd is meant to sound like a speech impediment caused by the use of an orthodontic retainer (a brace for teeth). More about it and its origin here.

I had a lot of fun and had a superb introduction into how to use light. Thanks for the mentoring Phil. All shot using a Pentax DA 18-135 kit lens. Pentax K-3, f/8 @ 48mm (crop sensor 72mm), 1/80, ISO 100 Pentax K-3, f/9 @ 68mm (crop sensor 102mm), 1/125, ISO 100 Pentax K-3, f/9 @ 53mm...

Can I ask how you captured it? What technique/exposure did you use?

I like the advice about clutter. I think a simple crop has helped support that idea somewhat. I see what you all mean. Really appreciate the constructive feedback. I know it's a little out of focus, and a screen grab of a jpeg, but as far as composition goes I feel it's improved over the photos...

Some good advice here. It's steered me back to basics on composition. As a beginner with more professional aspirations I underestimated how nerve-wracking and embarrassing it is posting one's photography here, yet I've learnt the sharpest lessons from doing so. Thank you all.

I'm looking at truck photography, it's much less demanding (I've published an article or two), but just practicing on vehicles per se so I can learn how to photograph them whilst hopefully learning the basic rules of photography as I go along. I know these photos leave a lot to be desired, but...

Ha ha, I meant to mention, it's not the car you should be critiquing, it's the composition, exposure, and processing etc. Ignore what the actual subject is :rolleyes: just see it as a car.

Hi all, I bought a 2nd hand lens - a Pentax prime 50mm f1.7 to go with my new K3 body. The lens came with a polarising filter, so I took it out today to photograph my car in various guises. If anybody could be so kind to critique either picture, I'd be grateful. Please bear in mind I'm...

I love how the pilot in #11 is looking at you looking at him.
