I thought I'd put a few up of last years holidays and my fiirts shots with my new camera 'in the field'. I'm not very experienced in photography, just a snapper thats trying to improve through reading and the images I see on this website, so please take that into account when critiquing them.

Love it, such detail and feeling to the image. You certainly got the expression right and left the viewer wanting to know more about what was happening. My only critique is that the reflection of the softbox in his eyes makes them look a touch weird. Time for another quick edit?

Does this still happen and if so, when is it? I live very near Pelsall Common but don't recognise where this is. I'd be grateful if you could let me know so I can join and grab some snaps.

We stayed in Struan, the opposite side of the island from Portee almost six years ago so it may have changed slightly. It was a great cottage and only 1/2 hr across the island to Portee but also good for travelling north and south of the island and cheaper than Portree.

Bought lenses from e- infinity and MBP and they all work as wee as each other.

Thank you for your advice, I think a lens upgrade maybe the way to go.

I wanted to Use it for longer distances so that I can get tighter shots of the subject. I have D7200 and a Nikon af-s 55 - 300 f4 - 5.6.

I am considering the purchase of a teleconvertor, spcifially a Nikon AF-S TC-17E II. I know you lose a step or two but would like to hear thoughts from anyone with hands on experience of using a teleconvertor please.

Contact Ebay, they will be able to clarify the postage / GSP situation. Check the postcode out on Google maps street view, is it industrial or commercial properties shown? Just keep the buyer in the loop with all your actions and then they have no reason to give you bad feedback. If it we're...

Just WOW!

:welcome: Hi Jess

Fantastic group of images. They all take you to the place at the time the shutter release was pressed. You're part of the surroundings looking in. :clap:
