Some from closer to home (though am now away again, this time in Seoul).


Mumbles Pier has been partly restored and this seagull was giving me funny looks:

That's an unusual angle on the second shot. Nothing I've seen before. I like it a lot.

Really like both Coast Guard building photos. What setting on darker one did you use ? Crisp moon with nice colors.

1/60 f/8 ISO 400 I had to vastly underexpose the rest of the scene to keep detail in the moon. The advantage of the D800/E is that I was able to push the exposure 4 stops (using inverse selection in CS6 to exclude the moon from the action) without having to use aggressive noise reduction. I did use Dfine on everything apart from the moon, but the shot hasn't suffered in IQ from this.

I really like the last one. The sheep one. Do you have anymore like that?

Unfortunately not many. I only just got a few as I was already late heading home with an early start to get to London for my flight to Seoul the next day. Will have a look at the other couple...

I like the 1st photo, but I think that the bird kind of blends into the background.
The 2nd shot is very nice. I like the depth and how the background brings your eye to the back of the picture.
I prefer the 4th shot over the 3rd because it is darker and the lighting looks more natural.
I like the 5th photo because your eye is drawn to the sun.

That's actually the moon!
