I'm back!
Do you know the owner of the old VW? Did they drive around repeatedly for you to photograph it or were you stalking them for weeks?
Ironman, WHY WHY WHY would people put themselves through such pain? I mean total credit to them but it's total bonkers! As for the photo, I think you've done amazingly well considering the limitations you have
Personally I am rubbish at panning too so for you to achieve it with one shutter speed and one aperture is amazing
The background is blurred, his feet are blurred so both give a sense of movement and the runner is pretty sharp in comparison, spot on
Stan and Eddie, I didn't realise that scratch was a scratch, I though it was a stray branch from the tree:bonk: Our bin men run like Forrest Gump to keep up with the truck, but my two year loves them and every Tuesday looks for Martin in his dump truck! The only thing that bothers me about this shot is the blurry car bottom right peeking in the shot.
As for the clone stamp tool, it's really easy and very useful, when you know how! It's also very frustrating and has taken me many hours mastering it! But Google is your friend, as is youTube, loads of tips and videos showing you how to use it. I'd put a link in but I'm at work and the pc won't allow it!
Oh balls, I've just seen your go at it, and I think you did very well for a beginner! I really must read threads thouroughly before posting!
Jaws, I think this is excellent, nice DOF with the background dropping away nicely.
Abstract, I would never have guessed what it was! Nice DOF again and definitely abstract to keep everyone guessing!
Jazzy, nope I'm not keen on jazz either. I think I would crop the RHS and bottom off. In colour this statue looks fascinating, in B&W it just looks a little odd to me!
Week 31, that shot is nice and sharp considering. You did well to document the name before they change it again! I've only been to Liverpool airport once before, in an RAF Wessex for a quick refuel after a search and rescue job that took us too far away from home!
I hope you had a nice trip over here?
Yay I'm all caught up! Now you need to find some inspiration and get some more shots up
