Nice pics Alexx16x You asked for feedback so here's mine. 1) Nice landscape but if you had the chance I'd have gone back when the sun was lower so didn't wash out the details & colours. A polarising filter would have helped get some detail into the sky. Also some say that dividing the frame 50/50 is bad, but hey rules are meant to be broken and I don't think the composition is compromised here. 2) Awwww. I'd have given this little fella a bit of fill in flash. (He would probably have freaked and gone into attack mode but it would have removed the shadows from face and provided a bit more detail. Also I may have been tempted to fill the frame for a bit more impact. 3) This is great! Either you're 89 or you've given it a bit of sepia post production I'm guessing the later. I really like this pic and the sepia effect really makes it look like an old postcard. Just my 2 cents worth (But only cos you asked... I'm no pro by a long shot )

Right, these photos have made me break my period of silence: HOLY CR@P! Stunning shots guys! A few more VX shots and I think the 2007 Calendar will be sewn up! We might even have to make a few of those Lotuseses honourary Vauxhalls! Keep shooting! (and telling us how on Earth you do it ) Ben P.S. Pretty pumped about buying an Exige and an SLR now. Hope that Fuji S4 is going to be "all that".

light pants on a photoshoot with me are you mental?



that'll be a yes then!

[Smiler]

says he, shooting 1600!!! like I said learnt alot.. 1, when using someones long lens remember your lowest shutter speed of about a 60th isn't going to be fast enough! 2, yes yes.. make sure ya dark pants aren't in the wash.. 3, remind yourself when using a 1Ds that it's £4k! 4, ignore all rules and shoot what you want. and much more.. right.. pictures...

..one man and his bitch



..just noticed the smoke in my hand... how common!!

[Ratspants]

why the silence ben?

New job, less free time and a decline in interesting topics on the board.

Need to make some time to take some new pics of the VX for the calendar though! Assuming I find time to wash it
