Took a walk along Blunham Weir in Beds.

Nice pics

Ooo I really really like the top one! I love silhouettes anyway but the plants are just so interesting. I actually think the teasels(?) look almost alien like.

The second photo looks like lots of spiky heads peering at the viewer

[Louby]

Absolutely stunning Kev. I like the Flagster love silouettes , especially against sunsets. Look forward to seeing some more of your work

[Dazza]

Super photo's Kev, I hope to get a bit of amateur photography in myself this year with a bit of luck.

I really like the top photo, really nice... it's just a shame that the two heads on the right have been chopped in half.

Thanks for your comment Wibs, and I have had similar comments, but alot of my photography is cropped in such a way, I see things differently to the perfect 'rule of thirds' and 'lead in-lead out' etc ethos. I've sold over 1000 photo's on stock libraries and had a major expose in being published as the main cover for the 'International Brain Tumor Society' brochure and newsletter. Been published in 4 uk Photo magazines and all with this current cropping style

My big passion is black & white, wait til you see my b&w work, thats more experimental

ps, this sounded big headed' it wasn't meant to sound like this at all, sorry, just trying to explain my own 'style' my grandad said to me when I was 8 1/2 "always walk the path less trodden" and I live my life this way.

I actually agree with Wibs there. It is annoying when something is just sliding out the side of a photo. Makes you feel you are missing out on something I guess.

I like the cropping style

I personally dont think there should be any rules to photography.

Excellent photos kev.

There aren't rules Kelly....merely opinions which is, after all, what we're trying to encourage.

I didnt mean it in that context, i ment e.g 2 thirds, object in foreground etc.. Photography in my eyes is all about experimenting.

[Osbourne One-Nil]

I agree with that. As long as a photo is in focus, I think anything goes.

agreed..

Wow really nice pictures there

The first one has really good colour.

Hey lets not start a dispute !!

I will say, if people only want to look at the same style of photo taken from several different angles then thats ok, but I try to see things differently, like my Poppies pic, I laid on my belly for that!! and the daisy pic I laid in a t shirt in 3 inches of mud to take the pic 'hand held' with a 10x mag ring because I had forgot my tripod and macro lenses (travelling ultra lite)

[flagpole]

I agree Kelly, admittedly I'm very new to photography but I do think that they key is experimenting, playing around til you find what you feel is the best shot

I agree that experimenting is good. I think it is also true that if you have a good eye you can take a great picture whatever your camera. Often people are put off by not having the latest model etc but other people have shown what can be acheived with a little compact so just go for it I say

[Rustynailer]

The first two pictures look like they were taken somewhere far away like the tropics not Bedfordshire (no disrespect to Bedfordshire) :lol:

Very nice.

I don't have a dedicated macro lens, I spend my time on landscapes, transport and architecture mainly.
