Taken in old abandoned village in Somerset, deserted since the turn of

the century and now almost completely overgrown.....

Emma is my partners youngest daughter and was a little upset this

evening, I was photographing her sister and my son and she asked me

if she went and brushed her hair would I take a picture of her too, it

cheered her up even though there is some sadness on her face in this

shot, but then again, I think it helps the mood of the photograph,

Please comment, good or bad, I appreciate it!

Chris is lead singer with the Wolfmen, he was bass guitarist for Adam

Ant from around 1983 to 1986 and I was really pleased to be asked to

photograph the bands 2nd ever gig.

I took this shortly before shooting a gig by The Wolfmen in London,

Daniel is the drummer from the band that also contains both Marco

Pirroni (Adam and the Ants/Siouxie & The Banshees) and Chris

Constantinou (Adam Ant/Lou Reid)

I think he has a really interesting face, he's very photogenic and a really

nice guy :o)

Comments would be nice.... :o)

A friend of mine who wanted some shots of her before she hit the big

40, this is my favourite of the day because she looks so happy with her

Saxophone, she was playing away while I photographed her.

Comments welcome :o)

This is beautiful, it reminds me of my time when I used to travel north for my work and occasionally I would see this from the distance.

Perfectly captured, it couldnt be improved on and I wish I had taken it :o) 6/6

I was shooting this band in the recording studio, the producer sent

the guys upstairs to practice on a particular harmony while he worked

on something and I caught this shot....comments very welcome :o)

Hi,

Guitars are beautiful are they not? This picture, in my eyes, is a bit flat. I had a fiddle with your shot in photoshop and came up with this version in about 2 minutes. It might not be everyones cup of tea, but I quite like it.

All I did was mess around with the "Image/ajustments/levels" settings, then I went to "Filter/Render/Lighting effects" and chose a spotlight effect.

I then cropped it slightly.

I'm no expert on Photoshop but its amazing what you can do to turn something you are "ok" with, into something that you really like.

All the best, Rob

I took a series of shots of a "JAM" coverband, some colour, some B+W.

This was one that I was happy with.

I'd be interested in any comments, thanks.

This is a gorgeous photo!

The only thing that detracts from it in my humble opinion is the other bird in the background. Try taking it out in photoshop and see what you think?

Congratulations on such a good shot though, my only other question was how on earth did you get up there lol!!

That is a most beautiful photograph! It took me right back to my visit to Oklahoma city in 2005 and brought back many memories.

The National Memorial made me feel very humble, in the middle of a busy bustling city there is a moment of calmness, and you captured it perfectly.

Regards, Rob, 4541 miles from OKC!

Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it ;o)

I didnt crop this particular image because I have a very similar shot where I was a bit closer to the guitarist and he pretty much filled the frame. However I do see your point, thanks for taking the time to reply with the crop :o)

Rob

Its always a pleasure to see this "Jam" tribute band, (google "The

Jam" or "Paul Weller" folks) but this time I took a whole heap of

shots for their website too. The gig was only in a pub venue but with

a bit of playing about I removed most of the background in this shot

so you would never know. It could be anywhere.

A comment or two, good or bad would be most welcome :o) Thanks!

My first time playing with RAW, and one of my first attempts at

concert photography. (Band is the Stereophonics, the subject is

Richard Jones the bassist.

The original pic wasnt that great so I thought I would take in the

opposite direction than my original idea of brightening it up, and

make it almost a silhouette.

I put it onto a Stereophonics "moblog" site, where the band ask fans

to upload photo's they have taken at their concerts. Currently its

been voted number 1 out of around 250 pics there. So I'm pretty happy

about that.

I do welcome anybodys thoughts, good or bad.

Thanks

Kelly Jones, lead singer of my favourite band The Stereophonics,

playing to 7500 people on 18th November 2007, Cardiff, Wales.

My 2nd attempt at a bit of live gig photography, and my first with my

new Nikon 50mm f1.8 lens on my D80.

Any comments greatfully received.

Really original photo! Personally I would do away with the title in the bottom left hand corner but thats about it.

I was interested in my girlfriends opinion...so I called her in to have a look.....and she loves it!

Curiously enough...she's just gone out....I think she might be after some of those sticky back jewlel things!

Congrats on a great photo!

I am very new to photoshop and still only learning my way around. I saw this effect used a lot by photography sellers in London a few weeks ago, black and white images of the houses of parliament with a bright red bus driving past. I think its a really effective way of showing your photo's so I will have to have a go myself when I can get all the layer info stuck into my head lol!

Good luck and happy shooting :o)

Hi Kelly,

I like this picture, though I do feel it needs some cropping. Try blocking off all the background say from the end of the fallen trunk of the tree. In my opinion this makes the image much bolder and interesting, it helps bring more attention to the leaf too.

Have a look and see what you think.

If you get to see this, perhaps you can let me know just how you go about having a single coloured leaf in a black and white shot. I have seen it done before but dont know how its done.

All the best,

Rob

This is the first picture I have seen as I have only just joined the site, but was a beautiful and inspiring photograph it is. I would be proud to take such a beautiful image.

Oh, and following on from other peoples comments, I too can make out the shape of a body in the water, very strange!
