Wow!!!

Steep learning curve. Tory asked me to take a few shots of an event she was overseeing.

That day I learnt the connection between aperture mode and the camera selecting shutter speed! I have hundreds of motion blurred pictures.

But, a lesson learned. Onwards and upwards!

Here are the salvageable ones!

You know the drill... Rating, slating, criticism, witicism all welcome!

(Be gentle this time though, I know I cocked up! )

No 1 really stands out, superb! It's like the subject of an old medieval painting.

Manic, where were these taken ?

1 is great lighting and composition

2 is good solid colours

3 is great DoF

All in my humble opinion that is.

Agreed. #1 is an absolute gem

I rather like what you did with #6 as well

[geofftelforduk]

IMHO I think these are really fantastic!

I really love the exposure in #1 & #2!

Well done

[Arcam_boy]

good shots Manic seems like theres a few of us from Lincoln in the camera section

[Manic78]

Yeah noticing more Arcam_boy.

Did make me smile today actually, as the Red Arrows were practicing and thought, I wonder how many people round here are snapping them!

[Arcam_boy]

yeah I see them as well. some great chances for photo's whilst there practicing especially if you go upto the Lincolnhshire showground!

[Manic78]

If you head from there, towards Scampton Village, there is a left hand bend with a tiny car park thing on your right. Go in there and walk onto the field.

They fly directly over your head!

I've got to go there next practice!

[Tobers]

Yes - #1 is a lovely shot. Very good light, composition and exposure. Lots of detail too .

[Manic78]

Thank you again!

My Mrs, from us getting back from Honeymoon in 4 weeks, will be running the place. It's a great place to visit if you live even remotely local, plus they put loads on like this.

It really is an underrated place,l I bet anyone from Lincoln on here has never visited the place, which is such a shame.

If anyone would like to be kept informed of any upcoming stuff drop me a line.
