 | Patrick Hogan(27th August 2016)I passed that boat a few times on my travels..... thanks for posting the image. |
 |  Patrick Hogan(11th August 2016)I find the lack of detail in the shadow frustrating....... |
 |  Patrick Hogan(10th January 2016)Was the sky really that blue ? |
 | Patrick Hogan(10th January 2016)A beautiful picture, perfectly executed. |
 |  Patrick Hogan(10th January 2016)Not a sky I have ever seen in England......... |

 | Patrick Hogan(3rd October 2015)Superb bird and perfect conditions....... Great shot. |
 | Patrick Hogan(3rd October 2015)Superb reflections........ |
 | Patrick Hogan(1st September 2015)Balance, angles and colours lift this image to a high level.......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(1st September 2015)Made me stop for a better look........... everything spot on ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(1st September 2015)Memories of a former life.......... great picture . |
 | Patrick Hogan(25th August 2015)An amazing sight....... They have ripped all the old road up! I to remember sitting in queues on that stretch of the A3. Thanks for showing how it is now. |
 | Patrick Hogan(25th August 2015)Superb capture...... |
 | Patrick Hogan(13th August 2015)A place I remember well......... Moored the night just along here and before the flight of nine locks.I used to get up early to be the first up the flight in the morning ! Thanks for posting the picture. |
| Patrick Hogan(11th August 2015)Clean and crisp .... I love the distant fells with their own cloud bank. |
 | Patrick Hogan(9th August 2015)Superb image...... I hope to find one at Slimbridge but not hopeful to get a perfect picture like this. |
 | Patrick Hogan(6th August 2015)Yes, a brilliant shot......... no need for any filters when you are this good at producing an HDR image. |
 | Patrick Hogan(29th July 2015)Yes , everything perfect......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(27th July 2015)Certainly taken a mundane coastal scene to a whole new level, Great shot. |
 | Patrick Hogan(19th July 2015)Perfection........ |
 | Patrick Hogan(18th July 2015)I remember how hard it is to capture these dragonfly things...... Great shot. Ps. don't think I ever managed it! |
 | Patrick Hogan(13th July 2015)Superb detail........ |
 | Patrick Hogan(10th July 2015)Yes, a great shot........ you would have not been standing there when it is in flood ! |
| Patrick Hogan(7th July 2015)Super sharp image........ One that would be appreciated more with a larger image size. |
 | Patrick Hogan(4th July 2015)Wow......... 5 stars for everything here. |
 | Patrick Hogan(4th July 2015)So much is beautiful about this picture....... the touch of blue in the sky works so well. |
 | Patrick Hogan(29th June 2015)Looks as if you had to be quick with this shot............ Geese on the move ? |
 | Patrick Hogan(25th June 2015)Everything working well here......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(21st June 2015)Great composition and subject............ Beautiful. |
 | Patrick Hogan(19th June 2015)Almost worthy of an Apple screensaver...... Great shot. |
 | Patrick Hogan(14th June 2015)It looks like a 'model village'......... great shot. |
 | Patrick Hogan(9th June 2015)Certainly captured the beauty of walking in the Peaks......
|
| Patrick Hogan(9th June 2015)Is this another shot in Raw ? Looks like you have managed to extract the detail in the shadows. |
| Patrick Hogan(28th May 2015)Giving you 4 stars but an extra star for bravery,,,,,,,,,, No way would I ever get in a cable car.The disant mountains are the 'icing on the cake' |
 | Patrick Hogan(28th May 2015)Great shot with good composition...... Those wings are just amazing. |
 | Patrick Hogan(27th May 2015)I much healthier tree than mine.......... I remember years ago when I was about 12 years old I took my mother a large bunch of the flowers home and put them in a vase. When she saw them she said " oh no" and immediatly threw them out, apparently they are unlucky and I could not understand why ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(27th May 2015)Interesting use of the reflective quality of the unusual font........ |
 | Patrick Hogan(26th May 2015)What about the ones in the middle......... If they had a panic attack how long would it take to get out ?
Great shot. |
 | Patrick Hogan(26th May 2015)Superb in every way............ |
 | Patrick Hogan(24th May 2015)A facinating image and description........... |
 | Patrick Hogan(23rd May 2015)Very atmospheric............. |
 | Patrick Hogan(21st May 2015)Beautiful......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(17th May 2015)Yes a wonderful sky........... |
| Patrick Hogan(17th May 2015)Exposure and sharpness ..... spot on. |
| Patrick Hogan(17th May 2015)I am giving it 5*........ Love it and I see the bunker as a droid, popping it's head up for a peek at the shrubs ! |
| Patrick Hogan(16th May 2015)No need for zoom lens here.......... perfect capture. |
 | Patrick Hogan(14th May 2015)This image has so much and has be carefully taken..... I love the ladders that rise from the water. |
 | Patrick Hogan(14th May 2015)I love the perspective shown so well by the building on the left that carries on into the church, also echoed in the flower beds. |
 | Patrick Hogan(14th May 2015)Great shot of a cheeky Robin......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(13th May 2015)Hi David, I had to go for the high ISO because it was a overcast day and the horse was in a stable that had a protruding canopy over the front. I think the lack of light helped in a way because there were no harsh shadows to contend with. The actual aperture used was f5.6 (not sure why it says f2.8) which is very near the 'sweet spot' of the lens I was using. I had to go for 1/1600 because it was handheld and this gave me the sharpness.
Lastly and most importantly the D800 performs brilliantly under high ISO conditions, all the reviews highlight this fact. |
 | Patrick Hogan(10th May 2015)I have to agree with Dave........ It just looks out of focus. |
 | Patrick Hogan(10th May 2015)A great shot........... and if you look carefully yo can see walkers who have just entered the shot. Certainly a good place to build a castle. |
 | Patrick Hogan(9th May 2015)Can only be described as 'STUNNING'....... |
 | Patrick Hogan(9th May 2015)I like the effect of the narrow depth of field......... it adds a softness to some of the flowers |
 | Patrick Hogan(7th May 2015)Like it a lot.......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(1st May 2015)Only thing it is lacking is a witch on a broomstick !........ Great shot. |
| Patrick Hogan(29th April 2015)It's hard to believe that nature created something that beautiful........... Thanks for capturing it. |
 | Patrick Hogan(29th April 2015)Hi Martin, I think adding to a shot certainly falsifies the true scene but removing something that makes the image disjointed is probably acceptable. |
| Patrick Hogan(29th April 2015)I think Vince has said it all........... Brilliant. |
 | Patrick Hogan(27th April 2015)I once battled in my narrow-boat upstream under that bridge against a very strong flow. It was in the winter and I had to spend a month waiting for lock repairs downstream and Goring was a good place to moor and wait. |
 | Patrick Hogan(27th April 2015)That is a 'Carpet'........ wonderful to see. |
 | Patrick Hogan(24th April 2015)Brilliant to see one from a safe distance......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(23rd April 2015)Hi Dave, It was almost completely dark with no moon......... I did use a tripod.
|
 | Patrick Hogan(19th April 2015)The wide angle certainly gives the opportunity for a great composition........ the eye moves around the picture and lights on the starry sun. |
 | Patrick Hogan(18th April 2015)This images has so much.......... With the distant fells being ' the icing on the top' |
| Patrick Hogan(11th April 2015)Superb image, love what the sun and sea has done to the wood. You have captured that beautifully. Exposure spot on ! |
| Patrick Hogan(9th April 2015)I love the ship in what looks like a magnifying glass formed by the top of the anchor. it certainly get your eye returning to it ! |
| Patrick Hogan(8th April 2015)Maybe the small beck we can see is the upper part of the River Esk ? If it is , I have walked on the footpath that follows it and it does go to Scafell I think. Great shot by the way and it was a pity you never made it last time due to the adverse road condition.
|
| Patrick Hogan(7th April 2015)Superb and very surreal........ |
| Patrick Hogan(7th April 2015)Wow, Great to just catch a glimpse of the snow.......... Given more time perhaps you could have climbed up and checked the depth !
Great pic by the way. |
 | Patrick Hogan(6th April 2015)This is superb.............. The delicate vignette adds so much to this image. (having said that it might be just the natural light) |
 | Patrick Hogan(3rd April 2015)SUPERB....... In every way. |
| Patrick Hogan(2nd April 2015)Hi, Having tried to take one on the day I immediately realized there was a problem with yours........... Then I checked and saw that if the eclipse was seen in London it would only be 84.5%. |
| Patrick Hogan(1st April 2015)And what a coincidence that it was uploaded here on the 1st of April.........
|
 | Patrick Hogan(20th March 2015)On very last trip when I was delivering my narrowboat I traveled through here. It brings back some happy memories of my years spent on the waterways of England. |
| Patrick Hogan(20th March 2015)Got to give you 5 stars for that .......... Just wait till you see mine and you will understand why ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(21st February 2015)A great shot........ Everything works for me. |
 | Patrick Hogan(31st January 2015)This beautiful image is what makes England so special......... Thanks for uploading it. |
 | Patrick Hogan(28th January 2015)See this article ...... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2929747/Most-photographed-houses-Britain-photobombed-yellow-car.html |
 | Patrick Hogan(22nd January 2015)Perfectly captured.......... wish I had taken it ! |
| Patrick Hogan(22nd January 2015)On reflection I am giving it XXXXX stars...... The more you study it the better it gets. |
| Patrick Hogan(22nd January 2015)Not a shot you can capture every day of the year........... Thanks for sharing .
|
 | Patrick Hogan(11th January 2015)Great shot, love the distant hills that look like a painted backdrop........ |
 | Patrick Hogan(11th January 2015)Shooting RAW and using Photoshop Camera Raw can get amazing results with detail in shadows without increased noise. Having said that the silhouette created in your shot works well, but the jetty could be improved with the selective brush tool. |
| Patrick Hogan(10th January 2015)Superb shot........... I might have been tempted to pull just a little detail out of the shadows. |
 | Patrick Hogan(7th January 2015)Yes, a great shot.......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(6th January 2015)I love the mist and trails in the sky.......... great picture. |
 | Patrick Hogan(2nd January 2015)Lighting and colours are perfect........... The only negative for me is the tree in the middle of the shot. Needs uprooting and placing to the left ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(30th December 2014)Beautiful in every way....... |
 | Patrick Hogan(16th December 2014)Amazing birds............ Great shot. |
 | Patrick Hogan(14th December 2014)Yes a superb image....... It would be interesting to know the history of the building. Maybe it was a Bank in a previous life ? |
 | Patrick Hogan(10th December 2014)Brilliant use of colour..... Love it. |
 | Patrick Hogan(4th December 2014)Not even a satellite dish in sight !........ however a couple walking their dog would have added a human element to what is a beautiful scene. |
 | Patrick Hogan(26th November 2014)Perfectly timed shot......... love it . |
 | Patrick Hogan(25th November 2014)Superb.......... Made all the better by the high tide ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(19th November 2014)A superb image.......... in every way. |
 | Patrick Hogan(13th November 2014)Oh to be sitting on those seats , looks a wonderful spot to relax. |
 | Patrick Hogan(7th November 2014)Superb...... |
| Patrick Hogan(1st November 2014)For me this is the best.........so much detail to enjoy in this picture. |
 | Patrick Hogan(20th October 2014)I took this video of them crossing,a bit shaky because of the wind...... Best watched in HD. http://youtu.be/8_ulEnbLPR0 |
 | Patrick Hogan(20th October 2014)Great image, but the title needs some work, we do not need to know it is image 5410 . Easily fixed with an edit. |
 | Patrick Hogan(17th October 2014)Great light on the cliff face..... |
 | Patrick Hogan(3rd October 2014)More than 5 stars needed here........ The best sunset image I have seen for a long time. |
 | Patrick Hogan(3rd October 2014)Great picture......... |
| Patrick Hogan(29th September 2014)Hi Steve, I am not too keen on this heavy processing....... There is a halo between the landscape and the sky. |
 | Patrick Hogan(11th September 2014)The slight cloud over the sun has reduced it's glare...... a great shot. |
| Patrick Hogan(11th September 2014)Just perfect.......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(3rd September 2014)I love Sunsets, this is an image I would have been very proud of .........
Superb job. |
 | Patrick Hogan(3rd September 2014)Yes, A superb shot from above. |
 | Patrick Hogan(28th August 2014)Flying and photography skills of the highest order ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(28th August 2014)SUPERB........ |
 | Patrick Hogan(26th August 2014)Certainly a captivating composition, even down to the tractor tracks in the distant field. |
 | Patrick Hogan(26th August 2014)Great shot......... |
| Patrick Hogan(17th August 2014)Edward is right in all respects......... Brilliantly taken. It would make a super horsemanship agility course. |
| Patrick Hogan(16th August 2014)A great 'stipple' effect on the leaves........ |
| Patrick Hogan(16th August 2014)Superb colours and certainly a picture that makes you stop and look at it ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(13th August 2014)I love the sun light on the flanks of the horses........ |
 | Patrick Hogan(12th August 2014)Great shot, but it looks as if it only has legs on it's left hand side ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(9th August 2014)The sunset certainly gives it an edge ..... |
 | Patrick Hogan(9th August 2014)I agree with Martin that the colours are a bit strong but maybe you wanted to bring the foreground out ?
A graduated efect might have been the answer or a selective use of saturation. |
 | Patrick Hogan(5th August 2014)Outstanding capture...... Was it with mobile phone or heavily cropped ? |
 | Patrick Hogan(5th August 2014)Perfection......... love the light. You must be pleased with this ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(5th August 2014)Great colour here and perfectly captured. |
 | Patrick Hogan(5th August 2014)Wonderful picture of a wonderful bird........ |
 | Patrick Hogan(5th August 2014)I have moored in this exact spot.......... 100 yds above the Lock. |
 | Patrick Hogan(5th August 2014)Love this view......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(5th August 2014)Works well.......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(31st July 2014)Superb...... |
 | Patrick Hogan(29th July 2014)Do you get the sunset from the seat, by the length of the shadows it looks as if you do ? Great picture. |
 | Patrick Hogan(26th July 2014)Perfectly taken and processed.........A pleasure to see.
|
 | Patrick Hogan(23rd July 2014)Nice processing to bring out the wonderful trees..... |
 | Patrick Hogan(22nd July 2014)Superb capture, looks like great fun....... |
| Patrick Hogan(19th July 2014)Superb ........ not sure it is steam but more of a mist. Perhaps some weather expert can tell us what it is. It must be some form of water vapor. |
 | Patrick Hogan(18th July 2014)Wonderful shapes formed by the bracken....... perfectly lit.
|
| Patrick Hogan(16th July 2014)I would love to stand on this spot, England at it's best.... |
 | Patrick Hogan(16th July 2014)Superb capture...... |
 | Patrick Hogan(16th July 2014)As you say, a breathtaking spot....... |
 | Patrick Hogan(15th July 2014)A superb image that has so much going for it.......... |
| Patrick Hogan(13th July 2014)Great detail in the wood and stone.......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(6th July 2014)Scary. |
 | Patrick Hogan(5th July 2014)Looks as if they used the same packet of seeds that Monmouth Council use..... Love the colours. |
 | Patrick Hogan(4th July 2014)Wonderful..... |
 | Patrick Hogan(3rd July 2014)Beautiful image...... Love the clear still water and superb reflexions. |
 | Patrick Hogan(3rd July 2014)It looks in fine condition and well fed. |
| Patrick Hogan(2nd July 2014)All the blues work so well together............. Love this. |
 | Patrick Hogan(30th June 2014)Sorry I meant to say the other view was better and agree with Edward........ |
| Patrick Hogan(30th June 2014)I think this is the better of the 2 views........
|
 | Patrick Hogan(30th June 2014)Superb......... The reflections of the reeds make this very special. |
 | Patrick Hogan(29th June 2014)A magical spot....... Thanks. |
| Patrick Hogan(29th June 2014)Certainly not a track to drive down on a foggy November night ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(29th June 2014)A shot that makes you want to be there.............. |
 | Patrick Hogan(25th June 2014)A very interesting building with those unusual ridge vents and what look like large covered air vents/chimneys. It would be interesting to know what it was originally designed for. Great picture.......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(18th June 2014)I like the way all the cranes are set ...... They seem to follow the lean of the buildings. The building 'lean' is probably unintentional ? |
 | Patrick Hogan(16th June 2014)Wow...... Everything about this image is perfect. |
 | Patrick Hogan(16th June 2014)Superb image............. I have been through this lock many times on the 'Emi-Lou' and seeing this lets me remember those times, thank you. |
| Patrick Hogan(14th June 2014)Beautiful with the low cloud cover......... gives it scale. |
| Patrick Hogan(14th June 2014)I like the way you have composed the shot with the tree branches covering the blown sky....... Somewhere I would love to visit. |
 | Patrick Hogan(9th June 2014)Perfect exposure under what was probably difficult lighting...... a superb picture. |
| Patrick Hogan(7th June 2014)Yes Vince I have stayed here and even ventured up the 'Springs Branch'that leaves the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in the very heart of Skipton. It runs for half a mile from the main canal around the back of the castle to a former stone loading wharf.I had to reverse my 60ft boat out, because only 35ft boats can turn at the end ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(5th June 2014)Superb composition and a great sense of space........ |
 | Patrick Hogan(5th June 2014)A great image of these much photographed 'cottages'...... I like this long shot that shows their location, with the track disappearing into the distance. |
 | Patrick Hogan(4th June 2014)Superb picture of what looks like an endless carpet of bluebells. |
 | Patrick Hogan(4th June 2014)Great depth of field and colour........ |
| Patrick Hogan(31st May 2014)Superb in every way............ |
 | Patrick Hogan(27th May 2014)Yes, this is very good........... |
 | Patrick Hogan(27th May 2014)Beautiful....... |
 | Patrick Hogan(22nd May 2014)Perfectly captured....... |
| Patrick Hogan(22nd May 2014)The foreground foliage display adds a natural element to this picture....... So good. |
 | Patrick Hogan(21st May 2014)A great pic and made even better by the high level of 'Bokeh' |
| Patrick Hogan(19th May 2014)Spot on.......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(15th May 2014)Welcome, You were standing by the bottom gates of Denham Deep lock when you took this image. As a boy I used to fish on the left bank before the bank was piled, that was 60 years ago when working boats were using the canal. Your images are pushing the limits of colour saturation and I find the blues unreal, but composition is spot on. |
 | Patrick Hogan(15th May 2014)Brilliant capture that clearly shows what amazing horsemanship the riders have........ |
 | Patrick Hogan(15th May 2014)Reflections and composition........... Superb. |
 | Patrick Hogan(12th May 2014)Great image......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(10th May 2014)Looks like a very pleasant place for an evening walk........ Great picture. |
 | Patrick Hogan(9th May 2014)Just perfection............ Superb in every way. |
| Patrick Hogan(7th May 2014)Great shot, my eye lingers in the dark depths of the lake with the tree reflections........ |
| Patrick Hogan(4th May 2014)Perfectly framed group in natural surroundings....... love this image. |
 | Patrick Hogan(4th May 2014)You could stand there for a long time savoring a view like this............ beautiful. |
 | Patrick Hogan(4th May 2014)Superb........ |
 | Patrick Hogan(2nd May 2014)Yes a shot full of interest........ I love the winding path ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(29th April 2014)Certainly a great shot......... I love the way the lighting replicates the waves of the sea behind and the sand in front. |
 | Patrick Hogan(28th April 2014)Superb viewpoint that captures this weather so well..... |
 | Patrick Hogan(28th April 2014)Looks like some beautiful walking country........ I hope the rain stops and the sun comes out ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(22nd April 2014)Hi David, Yes I have checked the data and it was shot at f18..... I think the f2.8 refers to the lens which is a bit disconcerting. |
 | Patrick Hogan(21st April 2014)It was filmed from the other side........ Ps, Great picture with those reflections. |
| Patrick Hogan(21st April 2014)Great to see this, I used to spend my winters in Stenson Marina,,,,,,,, A few years ago the bridge partially collapsed and needed repairing. Here is a link to the video I made of 'The finding of Bridge Plate 20'...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjk0b0Y5kLM |
 | Patrick Hogan(21st April 2014)Great light on the stonework and superb detail...... |
| Patrick Hogan(14th April 2014)If you had described it as a forest fire inferno you would have been spot on......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(13th April 2014)Great shot....... I have moored here on my travels. |
 | Patrick Hogan(8th April 2014)Just perfect............ A wide-angle lens and great composition. |
| Patrick Hogan(28th March 2014)Superb shot made by the elevated viewpoint.......... Love it !
|
 | Patrick Hogan(25th March 2014)Some wonderful tones in this image........ |
 | Patrick Hogan(25th March 2014)Love this image.............. captured to perfection ! |
| Patrick Hogan(20th March 2014)The external plastic soil pipes should be banned....... They look so UGLY ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(18th March 2014)A brilliant shot.......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(18th March 2014)Superb........ |
 | Patrick Hogan(28th February 2014)Came down these some years ago in my 60ft narrow-boat. I had to take my bow and stern buttons off and be diagonal in the locks. They were designed for 57ft boats! |
 | Patrick Hogan(18th February 2014)Superb............ |
 | Patrick Hogan(15th February 2014)I think I recognize the spot with that tree........... Some 42 years ago I had an evening picnic there with my wife after rowing down from Farncombe in a skiff. |
 | Patrick Hogan(13th February 2014)Love it.................... |
 | Patrick Hogan(12th February 2014)I love the Great Ouse and this image brings back memories for me............. |
 | Patrick Hogan(12th February 2014)Great shot...........
|
 | Patrick Hogan(12th February 2014)Hi, I have moored on the left bank where the narrow-boats are.
The whole field is probably flooded and the towpath underwater ............ |
 | Patrick Hogan(9th February 2014)Yes.......... A great pic. |
 | Patrick Hogan(6th February 2014)SUPERB............. |
 | Patrick Hogan(4th February 2014)Just love this........ |
 | Patrick Hogan(28th January 2014)Yes I am pleased and think there are still more shots to do in 6 months time when the sun comes back. Sun behind fog or low level river mist etc. I am also working on when to get shots incorporating the moon ....... |
 | Patrick Hogan(28th January 2014)My flat in Bulwark is just under the clouds top left............ Great pic. |
| Patrick Hogan(28th January 2014)This massive ship looks as if it is bearing down on the photographer ........ was it underway or turning ?
Perfectly captured.
|
 | Patrick Hogan(27th January 2014)Giving it another 5 stars because I want to ask if you had to wait for the sails to get into this perfect position ? |
| Patrick Hogan(27th January 2014)I love the red reflection on the doorway......... Superb picture. |
 | Patrick Hogan(25th January 2014)You must be standing on a swing bridge........ Great place to take a shot down the canal. |
 | Patrick Hogan(23rd January 2014)Yes, I love the selective colour............ |
| Patrick Hogan(19th January 2014)Hazy sun, mist, reflection of swan on still water......... everything perfect. Brilliant ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(18th January 2014)Zbigniew has said it.............. |
 | Patrick Hogan(17th January 2014)Think this deserves another 5 stars......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(16th January 2014)Like the low level light and how did you train the sheep to stand on that boulder ? |
 | Patrick Hogan(12th January 2014)Taking pictures like these is very much like fishing........ Some you catch and some you don't. I used http://photoephemeris.com to find out the position to be to capture the sun. |
 | Patrick Hogan(11th January 2014)This-morning the sun was incredibly bright........ |
| Patrick Hogan(11th January 2014)Great shot and revealing the dog at the expense of the clipping really works ........ |
 | Patrick Hogan(10th January 2014)Hi Neil, I was only trying to find another explanation to what can be seen in Vince's picture. If you use this link and scroll down you will see what looks like a face at the window, do you think it could be the same ? http://www.spoilheap.co.uk/beanyZ/crinside.htm |
| Patrick Hogan(9th January 2014)Maybe someone was just looking through the window at the time it was taken or could it be the reflection of your wife taking the picture ? |
 | Patrick Hogan(5th January 2014)Wonderful, The same sunrise I saw this morning....... |
 | Patrick Hogan(31st December 2013)Excellent shot............ I might have been tempted with a tighter crop, would have given more atmosphere. |
 | Patrick Hogan(30th December 2013)Amazing eyes......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(29th December 2013)Superb image............ |
 | Patrick Hogan(16th December 2013)Love the effect......... not to be confused with that of Tamworth Town Centre ! |
| Patrick Hogan(14th December 2013)This is what makes POE a brilliant site........... To be able to see parts of England that are so beautiful from the comfort of your chair ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(14th December 2013)A beautiful image........... Not only golfers in the shot but those flying gulls a perfectly framed. |
 | Patrick Hogan(9th December 2013)Superb colours and setting........... |
 | Patrick Hogan(9th December 2013)Wow............ Amazing image ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(7th December 2013)Hi Edward, I recently inherited some of my brother-in-law's bird photography lenses. I exchanged one for the D800 and took this with the 300mm f2.8 prime lens. This is a heavy lens and was only on a lightweight tripod. I took the image without a release cable and the mirror was not in the up position so even on timer mode the lens still shook I think. I will experiment with this view when the light is good and use it as a test piece. With a 'solid' tripod I am sure it will be improved.
The image was cropped by removing 2/3rds and when I next visit my sister in the USA I will collect the x2 teleconverter that will make the lens a 600mm f4 , this combined with the D800 should be an awesome combination.
I am sure the ISO increase would make a difference. I shot it at f11 and focused on the church which is about 0.8 miles from the shore. Maybe a smaller aperture would also help with the overall sharpness. |
 | Patrick Hogan(6th December 2013)Wonderfully lit............ |
 | Patrick Hogan(19th November 2013)Superb sunset,....... Completed by the birds. |

|
 | Patrick Hogan(25th October 2013)Hi,
Yes I can see I should have put Peak Forest and not Ashton. Anyway as you say it will be a new and interesting walk....... Good luck. |
| Patrick Hogan(21st October 2013)Hi John, If you walk 0.3 of a mile up the Peak Forest canal you will find this lift bridge. It is called the Dunkinfield Lift Bridge. Here is a link http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk/peak/pf4.htm |

|
 | Patrick Hogan(3rd August 2013)Superb capture............... |

Yes, on reflection I have to agree with you............ Looking forward to the next steam train and will try to repeat this shot with zoom. |
| Patrick Hogan(25th January 2013)Very different to when I passed through here in June and then in August............ |
 | Patrick Hogan(23rd January 2013)Superb.............XXXXXXXXXX |
 | Patrick Hogan(23rd January 2013)Snow on the hills..........Looks a remote spot. |

 | Patrick Hogan(27th November 2012)Came past here in early September on my way back from Bedford. Love your image........ |
 | Patrick Hogan(20th November 2012)A beautifully composed image............ Wonderful.
|
 | Patrick Hogan(20th November 2012)Great shot of what looks like a very under-used canal. It is such a pity it is not connected to the main system. |
 | Patrick Hogan(16th November 2012)Perfectly captured and framed................. |
 | Patrick Hogan(12th November 2012)The best time of day........ glorious colour and looks a good dog walking area. |

|
 | Patrick Hogan(19th October 2012)A beautiful shot............. Just love the foreground and the mystery of where the canal goes to in the distance. |
 | Patrick Hogan(15th October 2012)Thanks for these great pics............ I have been on the Wey navigation twice but never been able to go up the Basingstoke canal because of problems with water, gates,etc. and a whole host of administrative issues that do not make it easy. |

 | Patrick Hogan(21st September 2012)Just love this shot......... Beautiful. |
| Patrick Hogan(17th September 2012)Hi Vince,
No need to apologize..... Wikipedia states,Quote:- 'The current stained glass window in the chapel was designed in 2000 but used 15th-century glass.' |
| Patrick Hogan(17th September 2012)I would like to query the fact that 15th century glass has been used in this window. The Millenium window was designed by Nichola Hopwood and uses 20th century coloured glass often mistakenly called 'stained glass'. |
| Patrick Hogan(17th September 2012)WONDERFUL image............ Beautifully captured. |
 | Patrick Hogan(3rd September 2012)Perfection......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(3rd September 2012)What a great picture........... Somehow the foreground does not look like a foreground. |
 | Patrick Hogan(28th August 2012)Superb shot............ Where were you standing to take this picture or were you in another aeroplane? |
 | Patrick Hogan(26th August 2012)Hi Edward, No it is not mine !
I just 'Googled' the information and was amazed by the specification. It is a wide-beam boat that is not able to be used on all canals and more suitable for two people. |

 | Patrick Hogan(17th July 2012)It looks happy to pose for you............ Great shot.
|
 | Patrick Hogan(17th July 2012)I am loving the pool of glowing water.......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(15th July 2012)The shape of the boat is great........ I might have been tempted to have gone in tighter and lost the sky but still keeping the spiky leaves going into the side of the hull. Always take lots of shots and look at them when you get home. |
 | Patrick Hogan(15th July 2012)As Dave says it is just the worst weather ........ If you can get some basic photo editing software you can easily straighten the horizon with a crop. |
 | Patrick Hogan(15th July 2012)Hi, Should have said it might be better with more sky and less water. Reading my first comment again it sounds a bit harsh. Sorry.
Best wishes, Patrick. |
| Patrick Hogan(15th July 2012)Hi, Agree with all comments but would add that it needs more sky and less water......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(21st June 2012)Perfect capture, you can almost read it's thoughts ! |

 | Patrick Hogan(25th May 2012)I used to live in Brockweir two miles from here....... The ruins of St. Mary's Church (Medieval in origin) was virtually rebuilt in 1866-68. While much of the church is still clearly visible today, a fire in 1977 left the building in ruins. |
 | Patrick Hogan(25th May 2012)I know it well.........I once spent four days in this lock when the river was in flood. The lock keeper put me there for safety. |

 | Patrick Hogan(13th October 2010)A great picture but could have a few degrees clockwise rotation..... |
 | Patrick Hogan(13th October 2010)No place for hats or brollies when the wind is blowing !
Great pic. |
 | Patrick Hogan(9th October 2010)Magnificent.......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(24th September 2010)Superb pic, I have spent some time studying it and it would be so good if you could zoom in on areas to get the detail. |
 | Patrick Hogan(21st September 2010)Thats 5 ***** for picture and another 5 ***** for Sasha.
|
 | Patrick Hogan(20th September 2010)late afternoon and very peaceful............ maybe the sound of birds singing ? |
 | Patrick Hogan(19th September 2010)A great pic. from an Iphone........... The noise in the sky works so well and you can almost hear the fire engine ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(15th September 2010)Very BEAUTIFUL........... |
 | Patrick Hogan(13th September 2010)Love the effect.............. imagining where the water is ?
Brilliant. |
| Patrick Hogan(10th September 2010)HDR seems to give a strange transition between the sky and the land. Any chance of uploading the Non HDR image so we can compare. |
 | Patrick Hogan(10th September 2010)Wow, what a beautiful shot.......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(8th September 2010)Spotless pavements............ a superb picture. |
 | Patrick Hogan(6th September 2010)I love the silhouettes of the figures.......... The person on the right having just launched the ball. You could not have timed this better ! just perfection. |
 | Patrick Hogan(5th September 2010)The lighting is perfect and I had not appreciated how beautiful the Medway is. I will have to pluck up the courage to navigate the Thames estuary ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(4th September 2010)Great to see this canal that is unfortunately not connected to the Main System. It seems strange to see the boats that can only travel about 14 miles where the Main System has nearly 2000 miles of rivers and canals ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(31st August 2010)Everything is perfect................ |
 | Patrick Hogan(29th August 2010)Great picture, captures the essence of a small English town. |
 | Patrick Hogan(26th August 2010)Just love the whole thing........... The lighting and the subject especially. |
 | Patrick Hogan(22nd August 2010)WOW................. a great sky. |
 | Patrick Hogan(22nd August 2010)Great shot and a perfect sky...... |
 | Patrick Hogan(22nd August 2010)Some amazing colours in the clouds and I love the distortion on the left and right of the picture. is it a certain type of lens you are using ? |
 | Patrick Hogan(22nd August 2010)The past week has seen many days like this....... not much blue sky around. Traditional English flower beds at their best. |
 | Patrick Hogan(17th August 2010)I can see why you took this shot.......... The flower baskets are such beautiful colours. |
 | Patrick Hogan(16th August 2010)It needs 5 Stars ........... Brickwork spot on horizontal ! |
| Patrick Hogan(16th August 2010)I am a lover of 'reality TV' ........ this picture is along those lines. It would be interesting to know why they were doing this shot and some thought has gone into the need for the use of a broken shopping trolley .
Your inclusion of the photographers equipment bags in the shot is so good. Love it all. |
| Patrick Hogan(15th August 2010)I would prefer the crackling on this http://www.picturesofengland.com/England/Cornwall/Helston/pictures/1123306 |
 | Patrick Hogan(15th August 2010)Wonderful shot and spot of colour on the foredeck of the boat is perfect. |
| Patrick Hogan(14th August 2010)An amazing picture.......... plays tricks with the mind because I keep thinking it is a waterfall. I have never experienced anything like it before. |
 | Patrick Hogan(13th August 2010)Just discovered this picture.............. It is so very beautiful ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(13th August 2010)A great set of pictures and you could not have asked for a better day. |
 | Patrick Hogan(13th August 2010)Certainly one to get shepherds gathering their flocks ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(12th August 2010)I love the zigzag effect ......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(12th August 2010)A beautiful picture with not a feather out of place . |
 | Patrick Hogan(12th August 2010)The tree on the right could be very scary in the half light with its two arms and long nose ..... Run for you life ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(12th August 2010)It looks as if cotton wool has been applied by hand to the stems. Wonderful shot. |
 | Patrick Hogan(11th August 2010)Hi,
Very painless when you get up,walk one step, open the bow door and take the picture then go back to bed ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(10th August 2010)I think it is high tide ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(9th August 2010)Great picture and you can FEEL the decent down the steps and road. |
 | Patrick Hogan(9th August 2010)Love the left to right slopes, they work well in this picture. |
 | Patrick Hogan(8th August 2010)Hi,
I crossed England from West to East some 8 years ago and i only just managed to get down the 'Bingley Five' .
My boat is 60ft long and the recommended length for this canal is 57Ft. I had to take my bow and stern fenders off and go diagonally in the lock. The whole canal runs from Leeds to Liverpool and has many swing bridges, HARD WORK when you are single handed. |
 | Patrick Hogan(6th August 2010)Beautiful picture that has it all......... foreground,mid-ground, background and sky all in perfect focus and colour.
All the different trees is the icing on the cake for me. Brilliant. |
 | Patrick Hogan(5th August 2010)Perfect shot............. By the way I have seen a lot of that sky over the past few days, but luckily not too much rain. |
 | Patrick Hogan(3rd August 2010)I think I might be up for leaping over the bar to the left of the gate. |
 | Patrick Hogan(3rd August 2010)Love this........... I think the swan is in its aggressive attack mode when he is defending his territory. |
| Patrick Hogan(3rd August 2010)Hi, I suppose copyright can be a big issue sometimes but I just think if you have already taken the picture and enjoy sharing it with others does it really matter if someone else uses it. I would feel proud that they felt it good enough to use. Thanks for your offer but I have enjoyed seeing your clean pics on the Flickr site. All best wishes , Patrick. |
| Patrick Hogan(2nd August 2010)Hi,
You have this picture here in a larger format without the copyright stuff...... http://www.flickr.com/photos/23041961@N03/3462034323/sizes/o/in/set-72157617900480370/ |
| Patrick Hogan(2nd August 2010)Hi,
You have some good pictures but why do you spoil them by the copyright stuff across the image. No one will use your pics because they are only 568px X 750px.
I do appreciate that you may upload them to other sites in a bigger format but could you not leave the copyright stuff off your pics on this site ?
regards, Patrick. |
 | Patrick Hogan(31st July 2010)Just so good....... It stopped me in my tracts as I was moving through 'Latest Pictures' |
 | Patrick Hogan(29th July 2010)Great picture....... |
 | Patrick Hogan(26th July 2010)Great to see these boats........... It looks a beautiful spot . |
 | Patrick Hogan(25th July 2010)Superb picture.......... I suspect it was taken from the top of the City Tour Bus. If I remember this is the spot the bus starts from. Perfect composition. |
 | Patrick Hogan(23rd July 2010)Great sunset, pity that you won't see it in a few years when the dreaded Leylandii grow ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(23rd July 2010)Hi, Great pic. but maybe it needs leveling a bit, it seems to be low on the right. What are your thoughts ? |
 | Patrick Hogan(23rd July 2010)Love this......... incredible depth of field. Flower beds to the people through the archway. |
 | Patrick Hogan(21st July 2010)Voted again to give you the 10 Stars it deserves.... |
| Patrick Hogan(21st July 2010)Not enough stars available......... Something out of a picture book. |
 | Patrick Hogan(20th July 2010)One to go to bed with.............. Counting the sheep . Great pic. |
 | Patrick Hogan(19th July 2010)Great picture.......... very watery ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(18th July 2010)Love the reflections and perfect colours.......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(18th July 2010)Thanks for sharing this ............. |
 | Patrick Hogan(12th July 2010)So much to see in this picture....... I try to imagine being there on a cold windy day in November. Not sure I would like to walk along that ridge in the wind ! |
 | Patrick Hogan(11th July 2010)Cathyml has said it........... beautiful pic. |
 | Patrick Hogan(8th July 2010)Just to see a Kingfisher is hard enough but to have an image is superb....... |
 | Patrick Hogan(8th July 2010)A very rare shot of this elusive bird......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(8th July 2010)Perfect.............. |
 | Patrick Hogan(8th July 2010)The panoramic works so well here........ BEAUTIFUL shot. |

 | Patrick Hogan(29th June 2010)Thanks to Jane for leading me to this very beautiful picture. |
 | Patrick Hogan(28th June 2010)The light on the fell makes this picture for me....... You almost need a video to capture the magical movement of light across the land. |
 | Patrick Hogan(28th June 2010)Beautiful picture and the weather as well. |
 | Patrick Hogan(28th June 2010)Inspirational............... just love this. |
 | Patrick Hogan(27th June 2010)Hi Jane,
You are so right about this place it is very special. Have you climbed Scafell and looked down at it ?
My eldest daughter and I climbed to the top a few years ago and the memory is still with me. you might enjoy the video I did of my Summer trip that year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfH6iTPIR18
Regards, Patrick. |
 | Patrick Hogan(27th June 2010)Will certainly visit the abbey when I am there in a few weeks time........ another great pic. |
 | Patrick Hogan(27th June 2010)Great image.......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(25th June 2010)The first time I have used my 80-200 lens that my brother-in-law gave me. He is a bird photographer and he had it from his early days. The Gatehouse was just over a 1/4 of a mile away. Regards, Patrick. |
| Patrick Hogan(24th June 2010)This shot taken from inside my boat just after sunrise whilst the sun was still low......... |
 | Patrick Hogan(23rd June 2010)Pure magic, you have captured a very typical scene showing the beauty of our canal heritage. |
 | Patrick Hogan(23rd June 2010)Beautiful......... I have just come down the Staffs & Worc canal and moored for 5 days at Kinver. |
| Patrick Hogan(23rd June 2010)Looks like an oil painting........... beautiful |
 | Patrick Hogan(16th June 2010)Hi,
This shot was taken in May around 05.00am. It looks like winter but I was only wearing a shirt (And trousers). |
 | Patrick Hogan(15th June 2010)Hi, A beautiful picture........ I love the sky , the building and the water. Just perfect! |
 | Patrick Hogan(12th June 2010)Love this, you can almost hear the silence. |
