I got bought a photography tutorial thing for my birthday with Andy Carver. It was a good tutorial, but I feel the group size was a bit much (15-odd of us split into two groups). Sounds bad but I don't think I really learnt much, although personally I was glad for a forced/excuse to actually get out with my gear and take some shots. I'm becoming more and more lazy with my photography! Anyway, it's been done to death but we did St. Pauls at night, here's a few of the keepers:

(Gutted I blew out St. Pauls in the last 3 :()

I get to send him one to print for me, any opinions on which one?

Cheers, shame about the table in the background. It would be nice to have it all blacked out.

It's just pushing all 4 curves settings up, and some tweaking of the B&W sliders :)
 
A few shots from a charity doggy event at the weekend.

Nearly soiled my pants when I saw that big fella coming down the pipe of my 70-200 :D

PARUK - Great shots! I like that they all look very sharp.

How did you focus those? Continuous? Or...the best way I can think is to manual focus on the pole by the jump, and then snap when the dog is in the same position.

Getting warmer? ;)

Whenever possible I always prefer continuous focus because you can never be sure just how the dog will take the jump - far better to focus on the head and track. But of course you need decent light to have a good chance of that working. It worked great for #1 and #2, but as the afternoon wore on the skies darkened, so I resorted to pre-focussing for #3. All-black dog + poor light = OOF!
 
Ah ok fair enough. I just thought they would be coming towards you too quickly for the auto focus to keep up. I sometimes struggle with motorsport shots like that.
