peter mccue 0 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 How is the fishing from that pier? Not good at the moment Newt, but in January (by 'eck it's seriously cold then!) my son & I fished it with 1.5oz leads, 11lb line, size 2 hooks & 2lb tc Carp rods. We had fantastic sport with Whiting up to a 1.5lb & the occasional Cod to 2.5lb. I appreciate that might not sound much, but on Carp gear they really do fight outside their weight & the bites are ferocious Peter. The loose lines gone..STRIKE. Link to post Share on other sites

TubularBelle 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Have to agree with Cliff, I prefer the archway shot to the two Judy entered, plus one that Mr Wiggly removed from the last comp I liked more than what he entered and if anyone recalls Steves 'dog with a bottle' that he removed, it was in my Top 3 (altho I was struggling with it because it was a posed shot and I asked for non posed shots). Not much more beautiful tho than flowing streams or angry oceans, I love the way the water is churning up in Judys pic. I hate getting up early, I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day! Link to post Share on other sites
rabster 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Some more beauts added. n4lly, I was hoping to get a shot like that for the water challenge, but conditions up here never got bad enough to allow it. Frantic - it maybe just my monitor, but I think your two harbour shots would benefit from a bit of Shadow/Highlight tweaking in photoshop (something Steve Randles introduced me to & I'm now a big fan of). Peter mc - cracking silhouette shot, it certainly conveys that it's freezing. I hope you treated your daughter to a coffee to warm her up after posing for you. Judy, you visit some terrific locations, I love the harbour shot. Bobj, you got the parakeet in a great pose, but I notice you were shooting at 1/30th sec shutter speed, you're going to need a very steady hand AND a very still bird to get sharp results at that shutter speed. Right - off to work, have a nice day all. My birding pics Link to post Share on other sites
