    Edinburgh Castle Sunset

    Great colours and compo. I love the little bit of blur in the flag as well. Congrats bobiscuit.

    I won the Amateur Photography competition! Going on tour!

    Congratulations! (Btw, for those asking to see a large version of the shot, it's on his flickr in the Tour of Britain set 2008).

    Do you believe in the supernatural?

    You sure the awful feeling you had wasn't caused by the fact the bloke was covered in blood? :p I don't believe in the supernatural because I've never experienced anything of the sort. If I had then maybe I'd feel different. It does tend to be however, that those that already believe are far...

    It all depends on what glass you have right now... (Btw, it's Canon, not Cannon.)

    Phrases that sets your teeth on edge

    People who refer to eBay as "EvilBay" or "FleaBay".

    Why bother?

    I would tend to disagree with OP. Personally I feel it's equally important to get critique on your shots that didn't work as on your shots that did, if not more so. I agree with the sentiment of posting shots that are the finished article, but someone may have taken a shot and processed it to...

    Histrogram

    Basically, when you view the histogram and find the image is being over or under exposed you then consider what adjustments to make with regards to the aperture, shutter speed or ISO. Which of these you adjust depends entirely on the circumstances and what you're trying to shoot. For example...

    My first shots of my lil girl.

    That was supposed to say "wouldn't" not "would". It should make more sense now lol.

    My first shots of my lil girl.

    I wouldn't say it's an absolute no-no. For some shots it may work, just don't make it a habit - the majority of your shots should be at eye-level to her.

    My first shots of my lil girl.

    You've got a really photogenic little girl there. A few tips then. Firstly, on a composition level, try to avoid cropping in too close to the subjects face. For example, you'll rarely see professional portrait photographers cropping off the top of the subjects head like you have in the fourth...

    Street Photography

    Cheers for the comments. I take your point sidxms, I just had some issues shooting wider. I did get a full body shot of the guy in the first pic but it didn't really work for me. He was a tap dancer, dancing on top of a manhole cover, and every ten second or so he'd jump down on the manhole...

    Street Photography

    These are my first pics posted for CNC since signing up. These shots were taken in and around San Francisco last month whilst I was there visiting a relative. It was my first real attempt at some street photography so I stuck mainly to performers who I guessed would expect to be photographed...

    Jedburgh Castle Gaol

    Great set - I love the symmetry of the third one but the last shot's my favourite for the framing.

    Hi :)

    I've decided to join TP so I can learn new techniques and style (plus lust over new kit with like minded people). I'm a young photographer, residing in the Midlands and I've had my first SLR for about six months now. Just started uploading some shots to Flickr which I'd love for you to have a...
