[Knick Pee]

another vote for 2.

[pastrana72]

they are really good, i agree picture 2 is fantastic.

[identti]

All look excellent. No. 1 and 2 really stand out to me, especially the composition of 2.

Thanks for the comments

I was quite pleased with the wheel shots, 1 + 2 especially. I feel like i could take some better shots now, funny how all the reading of books / magazines about techniques really can't replace just having-a-go

Think i might invest in a cable release now, would make things slightly easier. Plus it would allow me to use bulb mode properly

I've been playing aroound with bulb mode a lot. I think investing in a remote would be a good move rather than pressing the shutter button for ages

Haha
Those shots never reached more then 30 seconds so i didn't have to switch to bulb mode I had tried up to f22 before, but i wanted to try f8 - f11 to see how it looked with a bit less dof and hopefully a bit more sharpness

But yeah, standing perfectly still with your hand on the shutter release at night when its 2 degrees doesn't sound like much fun


Cheers.
