Re: Water Shots

Hi Anna, interesting shots. I really like the colours relfected in #1 and the sense of movement in #2. Just imho of course, but in both the 'action' is a bit central in the frame - you could try compsoing the shots with the main subject off centre (or on a 'third'?) Ah Yes! That rule of thirds. Bit...

Re: Leaves 2010

Leaves was one of the first shots I took with a digital camera, easy to spot, plenty of them, lots of variety and all sorts of shapes and sizes. Good to practice on really. I love the backlit one.

Re: Flowers 2010

Love the roses. Such crisp sharp shots. :mrgreen: Mine are a bit more "fuzzy" - mainly because I've been experimenting with my macro lens. The two below are primroses from my garden.

Whale watching - what sort of lens?

Can anyone help? I'm oof to Nova Scotia in a few weeks and one plan is to go whale watching - humpbacks hopefully. What would be the best lens to take? I have a 16-80mm Carl Ziess and a Sigma 150-500mm. I know it sounds like a daft question but I am led to believe that sometimes the whales come qui...

Water Shots

Hi everyone. Not being fab as you are at landscapes I have taken some water shots of the River Dart that I would like to share with you. Any feedback you have would be great as I am always striving to learn. Plus any water shots you have would be great to see too. :)

Re: Leaves 2010

I love all the leaf shots, so much variety and so many different visions :mrgreen: Here is my contribution. An autumn shot I'm afriad but Sycamore leaves on the move and multicoloured. In the midst of a low patch it really cheered me up.
Taken with my A350 and a Carl Zeiss 16-80mm lens.

Re: Flowers 2010

Wow from me too. I love the Astrantia. So crisp and clear. Very inspiring. I've just bought a new A850 but haven't had much time to try it out yet. This will help get me feeling creative. :)
