Reflections of the past
Very nice of you to say so. Thanks
Thanks again.Thanks AFB. I like it better today now that the itching from the red ant bites has subsided.
Very cool looking Gecko. Nicely done AFB.
Well spotted and a great capture Chris. Lots of good stuff going on in this shot. This would look nice hanging on a wall in a simple black frame with white matte.

Whenever there's a narrow band of focus in a pic, my eye goes to see what the photographer decided to 'isolate'. If there's nothing in particular - no 'subject' - I feel kinda disappointed. Just my two-pennorth.
. Whether or not I managed to get that over in the photo is another thing - it might appear as just a poorly-focussed shot but I'm happy to experiment and benefit from the style and quality of feedback that goes around in this forum. Keep it coming is all I can say - we all learn as a result.
As a relative newcomer to this photo stuff I really appreciate the feedback Doylem, especially from someone like yourself. As it happens, believe it or not, the focus on "nothingness" was a deliberate attempt to give (or capture) a sort of bleak, hopeless, post-industrial atmosphere to the scene. Not easy for me to describe succinctly but I imagined something like the vista a drunk with his face on the floor would see after a bottle of Buckie or other such beverage
I've attached a more conventional long exposure (30 sec) shot below. Thanks again (seriously).

I think I'd like the angle of the first and the focus of the second. Also given the age of the bridge I might try a B&W.As a relative newcomer to this photo stuff I really appreciate the feedback Doylem, especially from someone like yourself.

_DSC1748 by apple fanboy1, on FlickrComment - you got this perfect !!So change of pace from me today. Macro out, telephoto in!
So this was from the same day where they had some owls flying. I found this technically difficult as I've never mastered birds in flight. Anyway more misses than hits, but I'll show you some of my keepers over the next few days.
Comments always appreciated.
Also my high key gecko has made it into Explore on Flickr. Thats two in a month.
I'll share a little secret with you. I was shooting on continuos for a change! But thank you.Comment - you got this perfect !!
Cheers
