    Why use high ISO

    The whole important idea that's needed is to explain the that there are 3 ways to affect the exposure of an image; Shutter speed, Aperture and ISO. Due to "artistic" requirements depending on what your doing you will likely not have the option of adjusting all 3. You may need a fast shutter...

    Wells Cathedral

    It does look a bit cold the first and I did indeed shoot in RAW. As for the lighting it's one of those odd thing. The day was really overcast and cold which usually means horrible outside photos. Luckily it meant that the lighting inside was practically even through every window, thank you...

    Wells Cathedral

    Some Photos from Wells Cathedral I did a while back. Wells Cathedral by NJPreece, on Flickr Wells Cathedral by NJPreece, on Flickr Both are long exposures to make most of just the natural light.

    A Model Model

    Need to put a bit more thought into the composition :thinking: The shadow problem comes from using the built in flash. I'm saving for a dedicated flash at the minute as up until now I've not needed one for most of the photography I've done. But wanting to do more things like this so really...

    A Model Model

    Bought a anthropomorphic model for a few pound the other day and was having a play about with it, this is the result. Comments welcome :)

    Peterborough Cathedral

    I tried the correction and with it upright it lost some of the impact as it lost some of the apparent imposing height it has with the distortion from the wide angle. The reason I used a HDR for this was the great difference between the bright sky and the dark of the arches as I wasn't able to...

    Peterborough Cathedral

    Had some time up East Anglia last week and popped into Peterborough Cathedral. Weather was being suitably "summery" but did provide a good sky for a back drop to the cathedral. C&C welcome :)

    Own worst critic?

    Just got a Sigma 10-20 and that providing a new curve for me. The learning never ends :)

    Own worst critic?

    I think it's just a progress of learning. I think being critical is the only way we can improve. I wouldn't be finding old pictures not that good if I hadn't improved my knowledge and ability. Don't despair though guys it's nothing to do with buying a dSLR all a dSLR did was give you more...

    Own worst critic?

    Having not been able to get out much with the camera lately I though I'd go back over some of my old shots and see if there would be any I could re-do or see if there were any good one I'd missed at the time I took. Going through them though I just found my self thinking "what was I doing...

    Bright Glass

    Thanks for the comments so far :) Any suggestions on what could be improved in number1 or is it generally an indifferent shot?

    Wide angle shooting tips??

    Thanks for the tips so far. Looks like I have a bit of adjusting to do from taking pic with the 18-135mm Nikon. I have noticed that size 12 feet like making an appearance :D Looking forward to the new challenge. I just need to get time to go out and give it a proper try. Fingers crossed from the...

    Wide angle shooting tips??

    Just bought a Sigma 10-20 for my D80 and I got to say I'm in love with it :love: Taking photos with it though seems to need a totally different way of shooting. I know it's a case of getting used to seeing things from a different view point but does anyone have any suggestions or tips for...
