I like them all, but #18 portrait my favorite! I love the portraits captured in street with some special emotions! I feel some dramaturgy in such composition, and I feel some dynamics when all objects are static Wink

Somewhere dark images works well, somewhere not . On rugby I don't like too dark images on tractor and single man I like it.

Agree with Attila . The beach shots and the portrait are good. The rugby shots haven't worked out quite so well.

Cheers guys. I agree, the rugby shots came out a bit dark. My handheld lightmeter gave me a reading of f14 at 1/500 and the closest I could set the lens was f16, I should have gone for f11 instead. My first time shooting sports/action so a nice learning experience. I would have liked to shoot more street portraits/people but the streets were pretty much deserted.

They're not dark, they're much contrasted. It's different.
Look at the sky, it's almost white, dark pictures don't have white sky.

Very true Very Happy

Similar to a quite big S curve in PS or "crush the blacks" like the movie makers say Wink

Did you do some PP here Ian?

Yes, on all shots there was some tweaking of contrast and brightness.

10, 14 and 20 are the real stand outs for me. I think the rugby shots would have been better if you had been on the other side of the pitch with the sun behind you - sports photographers perform some sort of strange magic that I will never understand. Wink

Cheers Skida, there was a reason I shot from where I did - I was stood behind the boundary wall so didn't have to pay to get in! The direction of the light never occurred to me!

Thanks guys, interesting to know which shots appeal most to others.

Turbo delivery - the advantages of developing at home in the kitchen sink Smile

Next I need to learn to develop my own E-6 and C-41 in the sink...
