Hi Mike, I don't think there are any restrictions on how many sites I can post on!

Thanks for the comments.

Gareth.

Thank you.

I am tempted to have another go at this wall with a different lens.

Hi Mike, thanks for the comments.

It might be worth noting that the water was actully moving at the time. The shot is of my car windscreen when I was in the carwash during the final drying cycle.

Best regards

Gareth.

Gotta love some red in an image! Striking and eye catching David.

Nice one.

Gareth ;-)

Hi Mike, this was really for Herman, I would have prferred all the boots in view. Some here on PN don't like the combination of colour and B/W, it would seem it should be one or the other. I did this for a bit of fun and tried to make it a bit different.

Hi Alf, I was expecting some stick for not including all the boots. I know how fussy some here on PN are about chopping off bits of limbs. Problem was I was too close 70mm being my shortest available. The look is probably one of disdain as there seems to be an un-written rule on the WGW that any portrait shots are done up at St Marys Church, in the town centre cameras stay in bags. Unfortunately for me it is all about the streets, for one I am not a portrait photographer and two I like candid street shots. While there is no law against it I intend to carry on.

Thanks for stopping by, if you would like to see more I have loads on Flickr. See the boots image for the link.

Best regards

Gareth.

Hi Ruud thanks for stopping by. I was going to add a bit of colour to her lips but decided not to.

Gareth.

Hi Tim, glad you like it. Thanks for looking.

This is a follow up to my 'Leg Ache' image. Herman wanted to see

the whole sceen. As it happens I didn't manage to get the whole

person including the boots (note to myself to take more care next

time). The boots image came from a different shot of just the legs.

This is just for fun and not really intended to be a serious image.

Hi Mike

It happens a lot, something to do with the way PN gathers the info I think. This was shot at F/2.8.

Loads more on Flickr to see and that site gets the data correct.

Best regards my friend

Gareth.

Hi Herman, thank you for your comments. Towards the end of the day I started a mini project shooting just 'boots'. I have lots more images from the day on my flickr page http://www.flickr.com/photos/handrailfitter/ please have a look

This image is a crop, the original is of all the young lady and I will upload it for you.

Best regards

Gareth.

Hi Mike, I am not familiar with 'Abbey' I will have to look her up.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Raymond

This is a very famous and popular part of Harrogate know as The Valley Gardens. Always a good place to image when the light is changing. On this occasion is was very bright sunlight.

Thanks for stopping by.

Gareth.

Hi Raymond, thanks for the visit.

Gareth.

Svetlana, your visit is appreciated. I must take time to give you a visit too.

They didn't dress like this when I used to go the roller disco!! Gonna hurt if she falls over.

Amusing and well presented.

Gareth.

Looks like the yellow fellow ate too many and ended up with stomach ache!

Made me laugh;-)

Gareth.

Wonderful composition Rick, it would have been oh so easy to have either the sun or figure right in the centre. You have found just the right balance.

Super image, I would happily hang this on my wall.

Best regards

Gareth.

Rick,

Many thanks for your visit and nice comments.

Gareth.

I was chasing shadows on a bright sunny day and saw two cycles

approaching, I waited and used them to add an extra element.

Hi Alf, your visit is an honour.

I had already got this shot when I turned and saw the cycles (there are two of them) approaching so I waited until they had passed and got the shot. I was pleased with the way it all worked out.

Ironically, cycling is strictly forbidden in the Valley Gardens which makes the shot a bit more special.

Many thanks for your visit

Regards

Gareth.

Hi Mike

Your compliments always encourage me to get out and shoot more.

Regards

Gareth.

Thanks Ruud, your visit is very much appreciated.
