Excellent shots Richard, especially #1 and #3 are my favorites.

Very nice Richard. I especially like the silhouetted picture.

Great shot! You need to have good eye to come out with this sort of picture from that kind of happening. Convoys an artistic eye..

I really like the portrait of the old veteran.

Another rain based shot from our holidays. We mostly had nice weather, but it is just the few rainy bits inspired me to make more pictures Processed using the rather wonderful Silver Efex Pro.

2014 Cornwall - Sunshine and Showers by Birm, on Flickr

A99 with Sigma 12-24 (mk 1).

Otherwise great shot, but with a blue tone this is 'Moonlight and Showers' to me. You could also do a sepia version to see if it looks better - that is more sunshine. Regarding the content itself I rather like how you convey the eye down to stairs and then to platforms. Raining also adds a little texture on top of image which is nice.

As soon as you mention the blue cast I got it exactly - mmm. Because I was there I knew it was day light - but what you say makes perfect sense. I will look at the tone again. I really like the light over the sea. I would like a telephoto shot of just that bit of the image as well. Next time

Yeah, it's interesting how much knowing the original circumstances can affect ones understanding of picture. I believe this shot could work as neutral bw as well - if you are not into sepia. But regarding the blue I love it in bw pictures, having a right amount of it makes pictures look silver and I like it very much. This one might also work differently if printed on paper.

Here is another B&W from the same location - different time of day. A greener tint to this one.

2014 Cornwall - Around The Harbour by Birm, on Flickr

A99 with SAL 28-75.

Superb and masterful composition, Birma! Especially the position of horizon with a wall. Brave move which introduces a very classic and graphical outcome. One of the best from you regarding the composition. Tint works nice too.

Thanks Toni . I struggled with where to put the horizon and so I'm glad it worked for you.

Late entry on this couple of shots of the "harp player"
Not sure which one I prefer but I liked the light (even the flare)

bfitzgerald First one - super!

Both lovely, but #1 for me too
