Hellbelly 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Whoa, stunning Chippy. They're great. I love the colour of the sky. Its so blue. Is that touched up at all or is that just how you captured it? HB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

medwaygreen 3 Posted August 30, 2006 Very impressive great colour sky really feel that you are there. Great shots. Fishing seems to be my favorite form of loafing. "Even a bad day of fishing is better than a good day of work." I know the joy of fishes in the river through my own joy, as I go walking along the same river. What do you think if the float does not dip, try again I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chippy 0 Posted August 30, 2006 I love the colour of the sky. Its so blue. Is that touched up at all or is that just how you captured it? HB The first one has had a bit of white balance tweeking (I always shoot in raw), the 2nd shot is as it was and the last two were both natural but shot with a Hoya polariser. As for the comps.......think enough has been said on that one already http://www.digitaljersey.co.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Randles 0 Posted August 30, 2006 I do like the last one Chippy (okay then, all of them ) Excellent composition! Steve... There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs. - Ansel Adams Focal Planet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newt 290 Posted August 30, 2006 That last shot is a great example of someone having the 'photographer's eye' I mentioned in another thread. The subject (tower) was interesting but the shot was taken in such a was as to improve it at least 10 fold over what I would have taken. I love to see this sort of thing on the forum since it does get me thinking more about how to take the most interesting photograph of a thing that will hold still for a picture.

Huge_Vitae 329 Posted August 30, 2006 I might be missing something Chippy as I have not kept up with digital but your depth of field in the last picture is awesome and reminiscent of a moveable film plane camera. Is that something that digital has an advantage on as the focus seems to be consistent throughout. (and YES, I have put my glasses on ) Nice Picture Want to buy a berleybomb? email sales( remove brackets@)berleybomb.com "My imaginary friend doesn't like your imaginary friend is no basis for armed conflict...."

rabster 0 Posted August 30, 2006 All superb shots, but to me 3 & 4 really stand out. I can't stop having another look at No. 3 - I love the way the straight lines in the corn field draw your eye into the photo, outstanding . I'd be happy if I could take shots a 1/10th as good as those. My birding pics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jaybee Posted August 30, 2006 Brilliant. I have no idea how to even go about getting lanscape shots let alone landscape of this calibre. Takes me back to my many visits to Guernsey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
