Been going through the shots from yesterday. The full set is here and a few of the better ones (in my opinion anyway) below. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for the comments guys. SDK, I really like those two you put up. The second one is great but I didn't even want to attempt that shot with the amount of flare I get with my lens. Bit disappointed I can't see the crane though

.

The second one looks almost as if the guy was edited in afterwards, I like the third one mostly though

I did have to mess about with that one and cloned out two people just behind the skate boarder as they were really distracting. You can see where they were as the window by the skater's right foot is quite messy. Should have spent longer on it really but think I mostly got away with it.

Must have been a different time as the sun wasn't out when I took mine.

SDK^ nice shot. Did he crash?

They weren't actually very good but I suppose everyone has to start somewhere. I didn't see one of them land properly (like I could do it

). The ones down on the South Bank were good though.

Loving that last shot Andy. I think the lighter background, particularly as it's a drawing works really well compared to mine. Nice shots.

BTW, No the images aren't too large.

33 out of 159 - Good ratio or bad?

Excellent ratio. Actually, RichDay and I were discussing this on Saturday and still thought we were coming back with 1 keeper in 10 mostly. I got a similar amount as you with 39 out of 154 with a few borderline ones so I think we all must have done well.

Really nice set as well and number 7 'Reflection In a Window' really stood out as a superb shot. With my reflections shots I was going for the big rather than the small so to see you pick out a detail like that was great.

Not a bad radio at all. Mine is about 15% I think, although I've got quite a few identical shots through using burst mode to guarantee at least one sharp shot where the light was a bit low. Realistically I think it's about 20%.

[STATLER & WALDORF]Well now I come to think of it most of my shots are pretty good and I'll probably only chuck away half. In fact looking again I keep all of them and they're all great.[/STATLER & WALDORF]

Only kidding

. Sorry to misquote you. It wasn't meant as an exact figure just a general guideline that most photographers end up with a raft of rubbish to get a few good ones. But of course we only let people see the good ones
