Nah just flash reflection, all gone now
Edit: Time to check and re-calibrate the tv, it's nice and dark on there but a fair bit lighter viewed on the phone.

One at the Races.
Out of seven races, the closest i got was a 2nd (winner got it by a short head). Enjoyable none the less.
I really like this shot.
A few simple seascapes from the archives (I've spent most of the day moping around longing to be back up north after watching a few episodes of Monty Halls Great Hebridean Escape!)

was in newcastle over the weekend, went to the metro centre on saturday and saw a band playing in the levi's store:
love 1, thats wall worthy, very good. how much PP - if any at all (except a sat boost) ? i was messing around with false light layers in photoshop to do something similar today. If its not PP then how do i go about learnign to control flare like that, lovely effect!
my dog running full tilt
ps, anyone know of a quick upload site that doesnt wreck the sharpness (boosted) and contrast when resziing?

A few shots from various gigs I've done last weekend.

adam w no criticism(sp?) of my last shots like with the bird ones?
I'll upload the full size of the bird ones to the google web album 'thing', if you want to see if it's the resize or my lack of 'skill' that's at fault. most likely the later than the former

they look better fowler002. Where in focus they look sharper, and apologies if you took the criticism the wrong way. This is one of my favourute sections of the forums, people are pretty helpful with constructive criticism, and just lurking i have learnt a lot.
I think its just that you have taken shots in difficult situations, low light, or zoomed right in.
Have you had a play with manually picking the focus point (not manual focus - Instead pick the AF point) The pic with the drummers, to my untrained eyes the drum is sharp and then the drummer gets a bit soft, probably due to depth of field (did you have the lens aperture quite open to grab as much of the light as possible?). without seeing you setting, it may also be that the shutter speed is just too low for hand held too.
I am playing with a nifty fifty at the moment, and its SO easy to focus on the wrong parts when using straight AF, after a week with it i learned that to shoot with a large aperture i needed to either pick an AF point or MF. normal AF gave pretty poor yields, I am not joking when i say less than 1 in ten was any good to pp. Outdoors in light, a smaller apertures (F7+) will mean most of the frame is in focus. too high an f number and it goes soft again (diffraction?)
- by the way, i have had a DSLR for all of a couple of weeks, so am probably just as new to this as you. MY low light shots are horrible at the moment, but i have a cheap flash coming to play with.

don't worry I didn't take your criticism the wrong way, always good to hear what is wrong and how to improve it.
setting used were exposure 1/125, f5.6, iso 400. 70-200 @84mm
I've had the camera for coming on 6years but still not much better than I was when I got it, not used it as much as I'd have liked to.
