Just watched Zimbabwe stuff the Aussies in the 20/20 cricket so I guess anything is possible. Come on Ireland!!

I need someone to sit me down and beat me with a baseball bat to force me to understand cricket. It looks like great fun but I swear I sit in front of the tube with a blank look on my face and wonder what on earth there doing.

:shock: :?

After watching the Blacks play Italy, it is all over for the Northern Hemisphere. None of the other teams in the Six Nations has blown away the Italians like that. NZ play on a different planet. Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales are bunched.

I have to agree with you here mate the Blacks looked simply awesome and my guess unless a injury sidlines a key player they look unstopable.

USA earned some respect playing England, the score didn’t show it but the last half of play America held stiff against the champs.

I wish I was there :(

His composition needs work and he needs to do some post processing on the last photo as it’s over exposed. But all in all he is a talent!

You’re so lucky you can take photo like these in Ireland.

Here in the states if you so much as park and pick your nose next to a runway your subjected to interrogation and possible arrest. I shutter to think what would happen if you set up a tripod and a camera.

Very nice photos :D

Its still the way I get most of my work !

Yep this is still the best way. I did a wedding shoot for a friend last year and it lead to more work then I was able to handle. I didn’t charge very much the first time but it lead to a lot of work.

but does a UV filter not cut out that haze you get in landscape shots?

Good point I suppose, but I was always taught that a UV filter is nothing more than a expensive lens cover.

On bright days the circular polarizer cuts out the haze and glare and can “protect” your exposure and help keep highlights from being blown out like. the sky.

If you have a bight blue sky or water and it’s bright out then a circular polarizer will help eliminate the glare often associated with this type of shot.

I like the black and white I think it really sets it off as well, and what’s a gale force wind to stop an intrepid photographer from taking a picture.

I am with alzaphod on this, I think its a composition issue, in that there are several very exciting subjects fight for my attention. I love the rough seas, the coast line, the sea spray. It really says alot about the area and the conditions. Problem is it tells TO much.

Have a clear subject, focus on that one subject to make it stand out have a theme and keep simple.

:D

I personaly feel that any good photographer should have at the minium a circular polarizer. UV and graduated filters work well for the folks who still shoot film. UV filters and the like can be added in post processing.

Nothing brings out the blue of the sky like a circular polarizer :)
