I think you should buy the lense

I can't pick a favourite either, love them all. The shots are moody and very atmospheric. love it.

and agree with krela, definitely buy the lens

Cheers,

Sal

stunning shots!

All the above!
Especially like 4 & 5. Beautiful pics.

thanks guys glad you enjoyed them I love Hellingly its fucked but its beutiful.

I am really impressed Alias. Hellingly has been trashed for a very long time but always been a satisfying explore and great for photos.

Spot on.

There is something i cant put my finger on with your photos, that really intrests me. Did you use a filter or something?

S

These photos don't really do it for me, variety of reasons. Good to see Hellingly again though. Any signs of asbestos removal?

thats cool Reaperman I understand I do shoot a lot more traditional shots but they are mainly on film.

anyway you know when you edit your photos down from loads to a few and there are some you wish you are not sure about. well these are the ones, I decided I wanted to post after looking at them again.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not rejecting them out of hand, I just look at a lot of images and I don't think these would pass critical muster, the fact I dont like the style is academic I think there are more fundamental problems with the way they are being presented and the inconsistent application of the post production.

Other people like them which is great, So I'll say no more. but suffice to say they arnt my cup of tea.

Some of these kinds of images are for me, but some aren't. I find over-used HDR is too showy and ostentatious in a blowsy, baroque sort of way, and is totally false-looking and unnecessary for my taste. The first pic in the last batch is just bordering on that for me, but I do like the rest of them. Especially the one with the book. That is really nice.

The first one in the last batch is not HDR it is just well exposed, the trees in the window have then been burnt in using photoshop and levels have been adjusted as well.

Ah, I stand corrected. Cheers for the info on that.
