The confusion arose, I assume, because the alloys are still on it.

Oh man, I didnt realise the 'after' shot wasnt uploaded. Besides, you cant really make it out but the passenger side door and interior are all gone.

Took this one of the Mrs.

Dogs on the beach:

Wast Water:

Siskins on a feeder:

I have a general question, though, with the above pics in mind:

At what point did people, when taking pics, feel they were developing a more critical eye for stuff? I sort of like what I like, but I don't think I'm being that analytical.

Ie, pic of the Mrs, I look at think bloody hell, she's out of my league, what a great picture that is.

The shots of dogs are mainly based on how fast they were moving and the fact I was quite proud to have got them in frame at all...

I need to be more objective but I'm finding it hard.

Thoughts?

You can't just run around shoving your camera 6 inches away from every face you see, plus there is such a thing as the candid shot. I've realised a few things having gone out and tried it, and that's people out in the sun in a city rushing past you, with shopping bags, or on mobile phones, or talking are so pre occupied they wouldn't even realise if you pointed your camera right at them and took a shot, i even stare at them because i can't help but be interested in different faces and they just see beyond you, in that moment you're invisible and it's great. It was like a slow realisation, but even so there is no way to naturally take a photo, you can't just walk two paces, stop, hold camera up, take a shot, over and over, so now to get even closer shots and ones that are taken at head level rather than looking up I pretend to use my right had to adjust my right earphone in my ear which means i have to hold the camera with my left hand because the chord is around my right hand. I just can't lift my camera up with both hands and take a photograph at some random person, it's sort of impossible, people aren't used to being made subjects like that whilst just being, it's like invading, the only time i do that is when people are performing and they've doing something, and then of course in a crowd you have the excuse to shoot other people who are watching, using the performance as a front. Basically people can't know you're taking a photo, it has to always be an accident, I'm just looking at my camera, it's dangling by my side, it's awkwardly held facing the front. If people do notice, and they do, i don't want to know, and i don't want it to be the one who's being photographed. I tried taking photos in an art museum, people noticed, maybe I'll get more comfortable and less self conscious, but taking photos of people going about their daily life whilst their in their work mode or leisure mode whilst you're in pure take as many photos as possible mode doesn't seem right to me. 5% of people might not be happy about it either.

Those sitting down are reflecting and observing and notice everything, also in a train station where things are slowed down. I have a shot of am old man looking straight down the camera in bemusement, it'd be nice to think you can appear invisible but you're not, and those who are slowed down notice it, and it seems weird to them. I keep walking to make it seem like I'm also in a rush like them, but to actually get angular shots you have to do more movements with the camera beyond just holding it by your side.

Incredible pictures, my favourite ones of yours I've seen in this thread. Any tips for taking double exposure shots?

Love the portraits Peon

3 from the last couple of weeks that I'm really happy with:

That bottom one is awesome. Love it.

I prefer the first one.

The middle one is clearly superior.

Been on a nature-filled weekend. Here's what I saw:

Red squirrel (the light was flat and the little guy wouldn't sit still...):

Arctic terns (I bloody love these shots - mainly as he was about to divebomb me so I had to be quick):

Butterfly:

Puffins:

Boat:

I also saw Robson Green, but I didn't get a picture of him.

Awesome shots, Poser. I especially love the second of the Arctic Tern, perfectly balanced, and the white on white has a sort of surreal quality. The first of the Tern has some weird colour banding going on. Was that in the original, or has it come about in PP or compression?

Cheers. I hadn't spotted the banding, but now you've said it...

I used a light vignette on it. Perhaps it wasn't so light. I'll have another play with it.

Tern ones are good.

Great pics Poser, especially the squirrel and the tern.
