"Tree Reflection" New Forest UK Dec 2024

I don't do black and white that often but I thought this would work well. I do a lot of close-up and detailed photos of babies and children but I like keeping them realistic. Please let me know what you think of this, any critique is welcome. Thank you!

Thanks for taking the time to look at my attempt at something other than wildlife, I sort of like it but then I am not sure. It was taken at sunrise on my local beach. f16 1/2500 iso800 85mm Prime HH As always all comments welcomed, I can only improve with help & advice - and this is new...

I manged to get out before work for a brisk walk to the local country park the other week on a lovely misty morning. FILM - Still by fishyfish_arcade, on Flickr

Beautiful Surrey village steeped in history

I visited Eyam last week to recce a potential location for a photo later in the year when the autumn colour arrives. As well as my digital gear I also had a little Minolta Hi-Matic G2 35mm film camera with me, loaded with Ilford HP5+. It's a fairly basic camera that uses a zone-focussing system...

Been super busy at work lately with Brexit related things, which has kind of limited my time and ambition to get out and shoot, so I thought I'd share this shot from over the festive period from London (South Bank to be exact). This really demonstrates that amazing Olympus IBIS, being able to...

Here are some recent photos of my family. I think they work in B&W but can upload the colour version if you wish. Critique and pointers/tips are most welcome. A few things that bother me a little bit The mouth in #1 is not in focus The hair on the forehead in #2 The dappled light in #3. I...

i was going through some photos and found this one. She was sulking, though I can’t remember why. I like it but I wonder if the fence is distracting and the lack of eye contact is an issue. TIA for your thoughts.

Some more: #6 - Having a break #7 - Where can I get a new phone? #8 - Carmelo #9 - Shall we? #10 - Trust me #11 - I've had enough #12 - You looking at me?

After visiting a trade show in London last Friday for work, I took the chance to try my hand at street photography in the evening, wandering from Oxford Street to Waterloo station and home. I found the idea initially daunting, as well as putting it into practice, but pushed myself anyway. #1 -...

I've been doing some more intimate landscapes recently and thought this one looked promising in B&W. T-23September2017-0864-Flickr-2 by Trevor, on Flickr

Been taking part in the TP52 project and last weeks theme was "Smoke" so thought I would take the opportunity to have a go at using incense and capturing the smoke. I know it's been done plenty of times and isn't particularly original but I enjoyed the setting up and experimenting. Happy for...

I came across this artcle today, and I'm intrigued: https://tightfistedphotography.wordpress.com/2015/08/18/stand-cross-process-of-c41-poundland-film-in-bw-chemistry There's only one example image though, and the comments hint that the whole thing is a bit hit-or-miss. Has anyone tried this...

Sorry can't seem to edit the title... it should read "good composition?" Hi guys, I'm working on my B&W work and hoping to do a few in the near future. I went out on this particular day with B&W in mind as it was a very grey day. I found some rocks and thought the differing contrast and angles...

Appreciate any feedback on this. Don't think I've got it quite right yet

Any thoughts on this shot gratefully received.

Hi, would be really happy for any feedback on the below shots - only just getting my teeth into portraiture and lightroom B&W editing... A mother's love... First nap...

My carer's dog Alfie who has been a regular visitor here has had to be re-homed as he wasn't getting on with his son (severely disabled at birth) who along with his mother still lives with my carer. I took a few photo's for her of her and Alfie then he hoped up on my bed for a cuddle, the birds...

So I've been trying out Silver Efex pro, Using an old image from the Peak District. I definitely need more practice. 2011-01-22 - The Roaches_0280-2 by Mr Drizz, on Flickr

Hi, This is my first time posting one of my images here. This image was taken when I had just started to take photography seriously. It was a very foggy evening. Taken with 24-105mm f/4L and ND filter.

A few shots from a walk at Doleberry Warren Hillfort in the Mendips a while ago. Just working through my hard drive and came across them. #1 #2 #3 #4

A cheeky phone pic I took from the bus of Leica guy and his mum? I like it, but I find it hard to judge my own pictures
