[Brian Moore]

The man is on a roll!

A 36 exposure one, apparantly.

 

[Pete Askew]

Maybe even 2 or 3!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Now, now, let's not get carried away!

 

[Nick Lukey]

A great set love the processing.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Nik. Just checked out your blog - some fine images there, and you do tuition as well. Good man.

 

[Andrew Cotterill]

I love the tones, so maybe thinking it's time to use my red filter on something.

They're all great, the first one is outstanding though, I love the sense of movement, and the birds being less blurry as they approach the centre really draws the eye in.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Andrew. It's the first time I used a red filter, and have now glued it onto the lens!

Cheers, Andrew. It's the first time I used a red filter, and have now glued it onto the lens!

I bought loads of filters when I got my Voitlander VitoB, orange red yellow, etc. But never got around to using them. My new Zeiss Ikon Nettar takes same 32mm hood/filter so I should really make an effort since I've got loads of B&W medium format!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Good. I love my Zeiss Nettar, but don't have any filters...yet.

 

[Pete Askew]

They can be quite handy to protect your lenses I've heard!

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

As a latecomer I can only second what's already been said and ad'; Bloody good.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Be as late as you like, Ivar And many thanks.

 

[Keith Hollister]

Yeah - the first one is really special. Love the ariel viewpoint, the motion and the 3D impression of the birds and water in the center. Outstanding, Rob!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Keith. I got lucky.

 

[Keith Hollister]

Better to be lucky than good ...

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Rob, your having us all on.

You've been a photographer all your life and came here possessing no knowledge of this game, your a faux

Outstanding again.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Well, Dan, I did go down to the crossroads, and sold my should to the devil in return for a photographer's eye. I hope that photographer doesn't want it back...

 

[Pete Askew]

I was wondering were my 'should' had gone!

I've been forced to use shall for the last couple of years, and living in the present tense has been trying I can tell you!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Doh! Bloody auto-correct!
