You're kidding now!
You have surely not taken those photos????
All your photos look so clear.
Everyone else's apart from Blodyn's flowers look somewhat mushy for want of a better word.
Are you doing something to them afterwards?????

PS: Thanks for the tip on close ups but there's no way mine will ever look anything like yours!

I don't like photos that aren't really sharp. In the first hawk photo, you can actually see the reflection of my hand holding the camera in the left eye.

Really sharp photos come down to....good camera + good lens + bit of fiddling in Adobe Lightroom.

Dave does take exceedingly good pics  :D 

and I've cut right down on taking pics because they mostly came out not that sharp and it was annoying me, perhaps i should get a much better camera!

I know them two 'chancers' ... they nicked my pie the other day (good job I'm on hunger strike) .. but more importantly they injured a little boy, quie badly actually, whilst in the process of stealing his ice cream.
The Pier admin office had to break out the first aid kit,  but I fear that scar will last a lifetime!

I've downloaded my recent holiday pics and noticed that all the photos were spoit in the same area and it turned out that there was a smear on the lens of the camera.     I'll have to be more careful in future.

These two Ferraris were parked on the Quay at Caernarfon this afternoon and were attracting a lot of attention:

To be honest Caernarfon wouldn't be my first choice to park a Ferrari

Not photography as such ... but from my phone,  I just thought this view from the 'other' side of Conwy Castle looked really nice at 10.20 this evening.

But in hindsight... maybe it doesn't.  It made me happy though!

Y'know Fester if only you'd been there 10 mins before hand you could have had an excellent photo of the Castle  WWW
