In contrast, I've been in London all week. This was the view from my hotel bedroom window:



I guess it beats their view.

Has the Window Tax been re-introduced?

Just harder to rob I think.

Which floor are you on? I assume not too high up - or has Spiderman gone bad?

I've got a Pentax 645Z to play with. Sadly I've also got a lot of work on so no real time to play, but whipped into York Minster this evening to try out the resolution.

I really wanted the camera to be crap and not to want one..... Sadly it is beyond awesome.

Is this any good ??
Sunrise in Scarborough yesterday.

A personal opinion only - it's not terrible, it's not great. It looks like it was a lovely sunrise but whatever camera you're using it didn't really do it justice, but with some small composition changes it could have been a bit better.

From a photography perspective, you've done the traditional 'putting the horizon in the middle' that so many people do. The sunrise is really the focus of that shot, so personally I'd have changed perspective and composed the shot with the horizon 1/3 of the way up (so 2/3 of the scene is the sky.)
I'd also try and avoid having vertical objects crossing that horizon where possible (the telescope/binoculars thing.)

If you're interested look up the rule of thirds, it's only a set of guidelines to use and it can be broken - but it's a good place to start.

HTH.

Thanks for the input. Composition is a difficult concept to grasp, but the thirds thing makes sense. Using a Nikon D5100, just ventured off auto and started using aperture mode....I am a proper amateur, but keen to learn. Lots of experimenting to do as soon as I get a tripod
Love looking at these pages, they are a great inspiration for beginners like me.

They are for awhile, give it a couple of years and you're into 'I'm still taking crap photo's, and where in seven hells can I find some foreground interest in the home counties?!?!' territory.

Home Counties?

That's obvious.

(Cardboard) Box Hill.

HTH.
