Hi all. I found "fotocomunity" by accident and I'm very glad I did! There are some awesome pictures on the site, I can only hope mine "make the grade". Well, nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say.
I live in Lincoln, England, and enjoy photography as a serious hobby. Although I don't have too much time to indulge. This state MUST be remedied!!
Please feel free to comment on anything I post. I only ask that you are not too harsh! Ha! Ha!
I also have a website that is a work in progress and any comments about that are welcomed also.
Regards,
Steve.
My "tools" consist of the following:-
Nikon D300s.
Sigma 70mm Macro lens.
Nikon 70-200mm zoom lens.
Nikon 18-70mm zoom lens.
Nikon SB800 Flash.
Giottos Mono Pod.
Giottos Carbon Fibre Tripod with MH1300 Pro Ball Head.
Various filters, (although I only tend to use a Polarizer).
All the above, and more!, are carried around in or on a Kata 3n1 Back Pack.

Many thanks

The colours of the mascarade rose are all on the same bush amazingly! I do love it because they all look so pretty together. Thanks for your comments.
Regards
Sally
You are right, it would make a great jigsaw! I never thought of that. I can imagine trying to find all the flower pieces!
I will try and get a picture of the pond when my gardener has done the grill. He tends to do other peoples gardens in the mornings and then does his own in the afternoons. He is very talented and has good vision bless him!
Thanks for leaving your comments.
Sally
Yeah, tell me about it. I have to wear specs to look at the camera and then take 'em off to look through it. This just makes a change from the usual sharp('ish) art nudes.

We fooled around with a few of these poses, feline is a good word for them :), it's a pale grey colorama background, but I had to stretch it a bit in PS
It does work rather well :) the fill comes from a mirror on a cabinet to the left of shot, lucky eh?
The good old days of film eh? I've been digi for 9 years now, just add a bit of noise, seems to work well. Glad you like the legs - it's my wife :)) Dave.
Dave.
Greetings John.
Yes you are right, they didn't last long but I did save 3 for the morning for breakfast!
My daughter cut half the lid off the box, I think she was making it into a time machine. Like they do!
Sally
thank you very much for ur kind comment.
i really appreciate it and i will now have a look at ur hoverfly images... have a great day and weekend,
kati
Take care,
Sally
I don't know what the flower structure was for, I think it was purely decoration for the town centre. You couldn't go in it, there was a barrier there. The flowers were made out of metal and screwed together I think.

They don't change colour as they get older but depending on the type of soil they they are in, they are either pink or blue. Mum says if the soil has a high iron content then the colour goes deep blue, funky!! Thank you for taking the time to comment.

Also posted are other recent shots taken whilst out and about at various locations walking in the countryside.
I hope there is something of interest for viewers. Comments are gratefully received, as always.

Hi to all my 'buddies'. I would just like to say a big belated thank you to all that wished me a happy birthday.*Note to self* I must sign in more often!

They can be cuddly wuddly somewhere else!! There is a MASSIVE one on the porch that eyeballs me every time I go out the front door! ;)Sally

Hi Steve, thank you for your comment on the robin. I have to admit that this picture should really have gone onto my granddaughter, Holly's site. I set her up to take it with my camera but she actually took it! It was too late when I realised what I'd done. The picture was taken at Widecombe-in-the-Moor on a very busy tourist day - the robin didn't care a bit!Dave Hare, 14.07.2010 at 17:52h
Hi Steve, not a repost but I have posted other shots from the same set |
Sally Dunn, 7.07.2010 at 20:15h
Ha, ha, she only walked past because she knew we were having fish and chips later! Thanks for the comment, yes, there is alot to look at in the picture.Best wishes,
Sally

The gloves are big, but they are the only ones I have :) The background is an old blue tarpaulin from my brothers farm, it took forever to clean it.
Helena Rogers, 27.06.2010 at 10:46h
Hi Steve - Thank you for your comments. You're right. I should have cropped in to the flower heads. I've got a lot to learn - but maybe I will if I keep getting tips!Many thanks

Thanks Steve, this cotton interlock is great to shoot with, so versatile :) |

Helena Rogers, 16.06.2010 at 20:55h
Er.... thank you for your very kind comments..... if I'm doing so well, perhaps I ought not to buy a camera like Sally's after all......!! Actually, my little camera doesn't seem to be giving me the same vibrant colours as Sally's. This rose is considerably darker in 'real life' than it looks here.Helena Rogers, 16.06.2010 at 20:51h
HI Steve! Thank you for your comment! Glad she didn't fall through - although the way they jump about on it - it could happen!Helena
Georgia Dunn, 13.06.2010 at 14:19h
Thankyou for your comments.Sorry I haven't been on for a while and haven't said thanks earlier.Georgia
Helena Rogers, 11.06.2010 at 14:34h
Thank you for your comment on my picture of Stourhead Gardens. Could I have got the sky better with my simple camera or does one need to have a better camera - or maybe know a lot more about taking pictures!Helena
Dave Hare, 8.06.2010 at 17:24h
Thanks Steve, I love searching out shots like this :) |
Dave Hare, 17.02.2010 at 11:10h
My wife again :) They are great tights! The background is lit with a couple of dish reflectors with honeycombe grids on to give the pools of light, then burned in at the edges in PS. I was really pleased with this, lit with a Canon speedlight to camera left, and a bit of fill from the right. A very relaxed shoot one evening in Switzerland DaveDave Hare, 17.02.2010 at 10:55h
Hi Steve, thanks, I loved the pose :) |

Dave Hare, 9.02.2010 at 10:26h
Thanks again Steve, these tights did look great on her :) I always enjoy lighting and shooting bodyscapes, the chain and the oil & water just add a little. Dave.Dave Hare, 27.01.2010 at 16:57h
Thanks, and yeah, you could be right :) Dave.Dave Hare, 26.01.2010 at 15:01h
Thanks, we used the corner room light, hence the warm colour. My wife is really quite shy :)) Dave.Dave Hare, 10.01.2010 at 15:59h
Hi Steve, she did look great! Yep, she's got it all :)) Glad you like the shot. Dave.Dave Hare, 6.01.2010 at 12:24h
Thanks Steve, she was stood in front of a large softbox, with a small softbox to camera right. I was pleased with the symmetry. I think I removed all the offending loose ends :) The colours are just fabulous, and yes, it looks as though she is! |

IHi Steve. I agreed with Leo I really need to get my act together or otherwise face the bosses of fotocommunity and be repremanded for this misdemeanour.Greetings John.

As it was such a lovely day, I took myself off for a walk around Chamber's Wood, which is near Bardney in Lincolnshire. I've posted a few pictures taken with my new Wide Angle Zoom which arrived last Wednesday.Halvorsen, 13.04.2009 at 21:17h
