..along with half the world.

Couple of hours having a wander and getting some shots for a tinker later. Got lucky with the weather, bright sunshine turning to overcast as we were leaving. Used the 18-200 lens and 80D So much sharper than previous shots. Tried a few different things on the camera, exposure lock and back button focusing and went all arty with bokehs etc. Then reverted to type when a Harley came past

Like them all Mike, specially the boat yard ones. The first BW of the boat love it.

Thanks Colin.

Looking forward to some serious rugby photography Saturday, weather looking promising, hopeful for some good shots.

I think RX16 boat might look better ( to my eye ) in BW. Looking at these reminds me of a few that i took when i was in Hastings 2 yrs back. I found it difficult ( and still do ) to translate what the eye saw into something that 'pops'.
Don't get me wrong Mike, the shots are clear and good, but I think there's something missing for the 'wow', be that composition/content or a bit of post processing to lift aspects/elements within.

Once Sue's a bit better will get back into the swing and get the camera out, don't think that'll be this weekend though.

Yep agree, 5 - 6 out of 10 shots, nothing wow, though they came out as expected from a technical perspective. Lacking a bit in inspiration though Hastings isn’t exactly wow
