dave...i seriously can't make up my mind between the two of them...they're both great for different reasons i guess... the colours in the first.. the mood in the second...

 

[dejongj]

Wow, I really like that shot! Colour for me...

 

[jennyb]

I love the plasma ball, Dave. It really jumps out of the screen.

The colour version of the bridge for me. Excellent

Today was a sort of pass for me, although I still used a prime - the Nikkor 300mm f/4. Here's a few shots from the TP Richmond Park meet - brilliant morning!

A sort of pass... Where is hardcore Dave..?? What have you done with him...???

Great stag party..

 

[HopefulM]

love no 2 kiddles, great shot, looks like you had a really good time

 

[Yv]

Oh WOW, I love the deer shots Dave, especially 2, 3 and 5, very very nice indeed.

The night time shots, colour is nice, but I have a real preference for the mono, admittedly I do have a thing for mono night pictures, perhaps due to living in light polluted London so mono conversions take away the fiddling with colour balance, but whatever it is, it works better for me.

 

[davekiddle]

The Royal Oak, Langstone. 28mm. Tide was out so very muddy shoes!

dave... that bridge is stunning. Probably colour for me... but then again :shrug:

The stags are looking proud too, perfectly captured

 

[SamuelSlade007]

dave..i'm nt sure about the Royal Oak... the foreground isn't interesting enough...the pub's like a slither across the horizon...then moody upper half ...

..reminds me so much of Paulie ..
