Amazingly vibrant colours in your pics, Mikey great shots too

Thanks mate. I actually tonemapped these ones. Never tried it before. A first for me.

Wondered what you'd done.

 

Seems to have added a nice "softness" to the image or is that my imagination?

Kind of yeah. One of the things you can tweak on the settings is "Luminance" or something like that and I think that's what you mean by the softness

Used a program called Photomatix. Good bit of software.

Got myself a new camera this week just messing around, just taken with a 20mm pancake lens to get to know how it works, fairly impressed with quality even I had only just worked out how to turn it on

I'm a bit of a second hand lens maniac. Found myself a beautiful 50mm f/1.8 Pentax lens recently. Here are a couple I took with it:

Cheers mate. Very kind.

To be honest its hard to go wrong around there. It's a photographers paradise.

Some shots from The Festival Of The Forties near Peterborough last Sunday.

The light and shadows were a pain in the bum all morning while I was there. One second big black clouds and the next bright sun. Did the best I could.

May have to put this place on the "to visit" list.

Just a combination shot of some of the shots I posted above. Was bored so having a mess about.

I had a go at photographing the Milky Way very early this morning from a place called Afton Down on the south of the island where there is very little light pollution. Amazing to see, even with the naked eye.
