Ooh very nice shot. Well lit!

Nice and sharp on the cooker, but the background is blurred rather then diffused. I think your shutter speed may be a tad too slow.

Very nicely done. Nice depth of focus and detail. Lighting at this scale is difficult but I thinks the picture would benefit from a little more light on the right hand side. I really like it.

I can do that. The wife is away with work all week so any day works for me. Anyone else.

Not a problem. When is the best date for you guys ? I'm flexible. I'd prefer to fit in with the majority rather than dictate the day myself!

Ok I have managed to confuse everyone. Tuesday is actually the 12th!!! So. 12th at the tall ships south gate street!. I.ll be the one with a camera and tripod!! No need to wear a wear a flower in the top pocket or carry a newspaper for recognition!!!

Happy to change times to accommodate others. Week days I could get to glos for about 18:30 pm, or most weekends I am free

I think you did a good job actually!

Really sorry guys, completely forgot that I posted this!! Doh! Ok so do any of you fancy meeting up next weekend either for sunrise, or sunset at the docks?

Hi all, really sorry if this is the wrong place...but.... If anyone is interested in meeting up for a shoot of any style in Gloucester, I would be interested in going out for a session. Urban, countryside, wildlife, nighttime, low light, anything to get some practise in! OJ

Hello, Personally I would remove the flower to the right with a crop. The reason for this is that the background behind the in-focus flower is nicely lost due to the depth of field however the other flower as its also out of focus just gets lost and looks a bit tatty to my eye. With a...

Hi Dave Thanks for the edit I can really see the difference. The light was pointing up to the right at a diagonal. The rain wasn't quite vertical but that just makes it more interesting. The actual light was a ships search light as we were on a boat at the time. Glad you like the image

Thanks Lynton As to what I was looking for, it was just for something a bit different to use as wall art. The image printed on a large canvas works really well. Some advice that would be appreciated is how to improve this shot and more that I do in future using the same technique. For example...

I really like this, almost looks like a car manufactures badge! Agree that a cleaner surface would have created a sharper image. It's a really good image
