What else is there to do when it's wet and windy?

This guy was just begging for his portrait to be taken.. honest

It had better be a brighter drier day tomorrow!!

 

[hypnotic]

I rather like that first one

The reflections in the colour ones look a bit soft.

Number two for me, the shell is a sharper, really like these.

 

[Jo]

Thanks guys

I really need to work on the focusing side of things, I don't seem to have a problem focusing on one area, I just need to learn a better way of focusing on a wider space, if you know what I mean

 

[Venomator]

Mess with your F Stops to alter focussing depth and spread Jo ... :shrug:


Nice shots btb ... ... although the mono does stand out imgo ...

 

[Jo]

I'll look up what you said Ven and I'm sure it will help Thanks hon

Hehe, nice pics. Did you just use a mirror? Whats the background colour from? I prefer no.2 btw.

 

[Jo]

Yeah it was a mirror job, and I had some navy blue pearlescent card overhead

 

[moomike]

2nd one for me too (only marginally as the b&w one is really nice too) really nice atmosphere to all of these shots though
I think the slight blur is due to the speed these little blighters move

I love the first shot! Really abstract and spooky. I think it would look great in print.

 

[Jo]

Moomike ~ You know you're soooooo right! The speed of those buggers ( )

Ewan ~ Thank you

So did you have to do some clever panning to get those Jo?

Great shots, undecided which I lke best but definately one of the colour images.

 

[Jo]

LadyLens, you would not believe how much panning was involved, in the end I took them hand held cause my tripod couldn't keep up the pace

I prefer the B&W shot over the other two.
Very well done.
