Yeah Rv and two main lenses for holiday shots being the 85 1.4gm and the 24-70 sigma 2.8 I’ve got a lot of shots to go through at the min will upload some more as I’ve been to Paris and Lisbon for photography this month
 
Some great images here. Loving the street photography. Been meaning to go to capture a kingfisher for ages now. They fly along the river at the back of my house but, life gets in the way. I must try better this year.

Changing my workflow with photography. Been spending time organising and adding tags to images in lightroom which I was blissfully unaware I could do. I have picked up an IPad Pro M4 due to the almost matching £20k reference monitor quality (as claimed upon testing by LTT) I have to say, I have been throughly enjoying using lightroom especially with the Apple Pencil

I know it's probably a 'look' you're going for, but on my screen, you're losing a lot of detail in dark areas. The bikers back/rucksack area in particular is just lost in a sea of black, and it's detracting from the image, particularly as it's the focal point of the image and bang in the center.

Love the feedback! will have another round of editing on it to see where i can improve! will post the results!
 
Have you got the MK1 or 2 of the 85 GM? I’m going to Poland again with the wife in 2 weeks and thinking of picking the 85 GM as apposed to the Sigma 85 art. :)

Brightened it up a little to bring those details back out :) framed it ever so slightly different too

Definitely better, much more detail :)

I do notice that you tend to bullseye a lot of your shots. That is, just put the subject bang in the middle of the frame. It's usually more interesting to use the rule of thirds to position things differently.

Things that move like cars, athletes, bikes, planes, trains etc, usually look better if they have 'room to move into' in the frame, so space in front of them.

PS I like the video rig, videography is just a whole new level of geekery compared to photography :p
