Thanks. Didn't know whether to include the last one in this set as it is the people & portraits forum. Hope it's ok as the other 5 are of people.

The Olympic Torch came through my home town over the last 2 days, here's just a few shots that I took while it was here. It was pretty hectic trying to follow that torch around. There are many more on my flickr site if you want to take a look. Any C+C are appreciated Olympic Torch...

Earlier this week I went over to Mallory Park for a testing day to have a practice at motorsport photography. The reason for this was that some members of Leicester Photographers Club had organised to meet up and go to Mallory Park on a race day and we thought that it might be a good idea to...

I went along to see the queen on the first stop of her diamond jubilee tour in 2012. The first location, I was nowhere near to the royals as I had arrived only a few minutes before they did. I then went to where they would be stopping later and got a better viewing position. I was...

So you'd be alright with the new sony's as they're SLT then?

Thanks for the comments, that image is my favorite aswell. I did think about trying to get rid of the person, I might try to again at some point. The thing that I am annoyed with is that I wish I has moved a few steps to the right, and tried to get the lit up part of TK Maxx behind the clock...

A night time photowalk around where the christmas lights had been put up, had been organised by the Leicester Peoples Photographic Gallery. As I was off work I decided to go along and have a go at some night photography. Here are a few of the shots taken during the night photowalk. I've...

After trying to create images with smoke a few days ago, I thought I would have a go at images of a match burning. The weather outside was cold and windy, and this is what I came up with by staying indoors. I was probably told never to play with matches when I was a kid, but where's the fun...

Thanks everyone for your comments, the last one is my favorite aswell, think i might get a decent size print of it done. The problem I have is that I will probably do more and might like another one better after I order the print. Photographically, the kit I used were camera with any lens...

I had been looking at things that I can photograph indoors as the weather isn't the best at the minute to be out there. I'm getting more into macro and close-up work and have started doing that a bit more recently. The only reason I hadn't tried these type of images before is just that I...

Someone I know got a new puppy a few months ago. I went round this weekend and he had grown so much and he is so cute that I couldn't pass up taking a few images of him. Any C+C are appreciated Jack Russell by philipJvernon, on Flickr Jack Russell by philipJvernon, on Flickr...

As far as I know, they just send the light out in all directions, which if inside, allows the light to bounce off walls/ceilings and gives the effect of softening the light by adding a bit of fill. Outside, there is nothing for it to bounce off so just sending light out into nowhere.

I like it, it's a good first try. Just as something to know, a stofen will not diffuse the light, and outside it is pretty pointless having it on as it will just cut the light from your flash making it need more power than it should

ok fair enough
