Sorry for the late reply, it's a wisp of cloud wrapped around the top, I did think of getting rid but decided to leave it as it was, may get rid now, looks better when it's in colour before the conversion.

Hi All, Here's one I took earlier in the year of the Buachaille. I kept going back to it but couldn't make my mind up whether or not it worked. I finally decided to convert it to mono and I'm quite pleased with it now. I converted it entirely with Photoshop CC (quite surprised how much I could...

Cheers guy's, appreciate your thought's. Thanks for the edit Dean, look's better - back to the drawing board for me!

Thanks Bryn, appreciate your comments. I know what you mean about the first, I wasn't particularly happy with the eye's they are quite soft. I use the Canon 50mm 1.4 and seem to get a few problems with focus shift. I manually focus all the time and just rock back and forth on my feet to try...

Hi All, Thought I'd post a couple of photo's from a recent shoot. I'm not really a portrait photographer (more wildlife) but would like to try more so any feedback welcomed. Cheers, Carl.

Like the first one Joe, nice, sharp and great detail although I think i'd like to see a bit more of the other wing. The second one is in better position in my opinion but a little soft. Cheers, Carl.

Cheers both, much appreciated.

Hi All, Thought I'd post another one of the Golden Plover, calling this time though. Canon 5D3 - Canon 500mm F4 IS + 1.4 - 1/1600s F5.6 ISO 800 Cheers, Carl. www.carldayphotography.co.uk

Cracking capture Mark, much better than anything I could manage in my time there. Heard lot's and had a few glimpses but only managed record shot's, glad I see them though :-) Carl.

Hi All, It's been a while since I posted so, here's one from a trip I made to Uist's a couple of weeks ago - Golden Plover having a shake. Canon 5D 3 + Canon 500mm F4 IS + 1.4 Cheers, Carl. www.carldayphotography.co.uk

Cheers both. I've searched through Flickr and a few others Andy just try and gauge which is better but still can't make my mind up! Phil, I guess I'm just after something that will cover most portrait situations, like most probably. I've offered to shoot a friends wedding, dumb move I know but...

Cheers Guy's, appreciate you're comments and corrections :oops: :$ now I know for next time. First time I've done any landscape stuff really, normally wildlife for me but I definitely go back for more, looks good for wildlife too. Cheers, Carl.

Seriously thinking of getting this lens, can I ask what body you were shooting with?

Hi All, Looking for a bit of advice on a portrait lens. I've been looking at the following - Canon 85 1.8 / Canon 50 1.4 or Sigma 50 1.4 All to used with Canon 5D 3. I've heard a few stories regards the latter Sigma 50 1.4, not sure if it's correct but there seems to be a lot of bad copies...

Hi All, My first post regards Landscape photography. So, go easy on me! - Trefan, Snowdonia.
