Woodland harmony or mess?
A couple of weeks ago I visited Banstead Wood and took some standard bluebell shots. Before leaving I tried a few intentional camera movement shots, which I've not really done before. For the uninitiated it involves wiggling the camera round deliberately for a couple of seconds using an ND filter to...

Re: Upton Split
Mike I can see the potential of this approach, as it directs the eye to explore the two different parts of the image (rather than wander naturally over it) and invites the viewer make the connection between them. This provides a degree of creative control, although if used incorrectly it could direc...

Motocross on 30 April - gauging interest
Sunday 30 April sees the 3rd round of the British Motocross Championships being held at Canada Heights track, near Swanley. The event runs roughly 9am-4pm. I've not been to such an event (except, from vague memory, as a child) and don't pretend to be an expert or enthusiast for the sport, but always...

Re: Damage to front lens elements - interesting article
Thanks for the advice to the anonymous (me) member who suffered a lens scratch last week. The 24-70mm lens had a lens hood and UV filter attached and the camera was mounted on a tripod about waist high. I turned round to zip up my camera bag and the tripod toppled over. The lens hood snapped and the...

Beckenham PS Exhibition
I dropped by Beckenham Photographic Society's annual exhibition on my way home from work last night. There were 114 prints to admire and an opportunity to vote for your top three images - quite a nice touch.
