Just a few photos here taken while the sun is shining over This weekend and week.Very happy to hear any C & C
Thanks

Btw the noise in image 4 is very bad reason for that is i was shooting the surfer at around 6pm it was very dark and its setting were 1/50 iso 3200 :eek:
f/5.6

I thought I'd clicked in "Feedback" when I saw all those cat pics...

I like numbers 2, and 5.

The surfing shot is a great capture but in reality is too blurry/grainy.

I like the cat photos, the difficult part is getting your subject to pose. I have a minor niggle with all three. The grass stalk in the first blocking the cats left eye, the shadow in the second and (very minor) the face being a bit blocked by the branch. The first one particularly has the potential to be a great shot, the tiger inside and all. The light is lovely too.

I have found that all you can do is follow them round and round the garden and hope to get 1 good shot for an evenings work, and you just know they're looking at you thinking "oh no here comes the idiot with the camera again, better make sure to blink/sneeze/ hide/disappear into shadow/ hide under the shed at the most inopportune moment".

Keep trying.

1,2 & 3 are grand.. good colour & contrast. Composition isnt bad either. I presume 4 is a heavy crop from an already noisy file. 5 would benefit massively from a little more foreground detail.

really like 2&5, however I think rymus might be right about the detail in foreground.. great shots either way

also first pics to view on newly calibrated monitor \o/

Thanks all!
@Dakar:Thanks ill try and get better photos they are very hard and they dont look at you for long haha

@Rymus:Wasnt a very bog crop but there is bad enough noise at iso 3200 on the 20D

kids and animals!! avoid like the plague

yeah they're very difficult to capture more patience - keep waiting and waiting eventually you'll be rewarded then with a great shot!!

well done

I really like the first shot, it looks like the BIGcat is coming out for a hunt!
A frame would make the picture look even nicer imo

Good work

I think #1 is probably the best of the series posted. The focus is nice and nice control of your depth of field. However, the shadow mid bottom of image and the harsh light (mid day sun perhaps) on the feline spoil it somewhat.

the branches in #2 and #3 are probably a hindrance rather than a useful prop and i think detracts rather than enhances the scene. To my eyes the low angle on #2 and #3 are also a little unflattering to the subject - ok..., i know - they won't sue you for it ;o)

Cheers.
