Rod Burkey(28th May 2019)

I find baboons fascinating, as they have very colourful bodies, often at both ends! This is a fine portrait of a rather proud looking primate.

National Naval Memorial, Alrewas.
Rod Burkey(28th May 2019)

Well said Edward about a low sun making a better picture. I had the dreaded M6 northbound in prospect, and took the easier option.

Piper's Island Bar and Restaurant, Caversham
Rod Burkey(28th May 2019)

Cable Car North Greenwich in Mono
4 stars
Rod Burkey(15th September 2017)

Cruise Ship, Liverpool.
1 stars
Rod Burkey(15th September 2017)

Hi Phil, the shot was taken in colour. The RAW file looked okay, but a bit bland. I did a normal edit with Photoshop CC. After looking at the result, especially the sky, needed something to make it a bit more dramatic. Converted the file to monochrome, and I used the colour filters much like I used to with glass filters with black and white film. It was a simple edit. Thank you for your interest Phil.

Well said Edward. It was just a snap shot taken as I was driving home from the city centre. I spotted the sculpture and luckily had the trusty Nikon with me and used the "workhorse" 24-105 mm lens. Thanks as ever for the expert advice, and I might well return to the "scene of the crime" and do a proper job. Your four stars are indeed generous.

Blagrave Arms Pub, Reading
4 stars
Rod Burkey(14th December 2014)

I really like the timing of your shot Edward. Unlike the people in the picture I doubt if I would have walked past this rather fine looking watering hole, especially if Mrs B spotted the half price Champagne on offer. It is also good to know that John Blagrave's name still counts for something in Reading.

4 stars
Rod Burkey(12th December 2014)

Brings back a shed load if memories for me. My parents took me there as a child and I have returned many times. Is Red Rum's stature still there I wonder? I love this and the perspective works a treat.

Rod Burkey(11th December 2014)

Very pleasing image which draws the eye (and the other too) into the scene. I might have been tempted to crop a little of the right hand side out, but it's all subjective.

4 stars
Rod Burkey(9th December 2014)

The lack of shadow detail highlights the figure making the image almost surreal. An Oscar for originality Edward.

Sunset over Ainsdale beach
4 stars
Rod Burkey(4th September 2014)

1 stars
Rod Burkey(23rd April 2014)

You are right David about the demise of the traditional pub, with thirty odd every week closing nationally. As an old geezer, I like traditional pubs where a quiet pint can be supped but as time passes, the numbers like me will decline. Bars are opening offering a different kind of place for maybe a younger more demanding customer wanting to be entertained. I'm off for a pint!

Canopy.
5 stars

Lake Derwent
3 stars
Rod Burkey(24th March 2014)

Neil, the picture is almost there. Had you pointed the camera down or zoomed in a little, excluding more of the bright sky, the bottom half of the picture, which has land and lake would have turned out lighter. Very bright skies can be a curse and many use a graduated filter which can really go a long way to solving the problem without having to resort to post production editing. I've already broken one of rules relating to comments, but your image has great potential and I like it.

Wish I'd taken it.

Love it. So very English too as there is no train in sight. Forgive me quoting you Ruth. We have great stations but the trains where I live are in flux due to improvements to the West Coast Line.

4 stars
Rod Burkey(20th January 2009)

These houses and many like them hold many memories for me when I used to go to Goodison and Anfield. Also I knew friends who had one very like this in Wavertee. These are so much better than much of the housing of a much later vintage. Keep the memories Barb.

Great picture Stephanie. The way you have caught the shafts of light is most striking. Must go back to Llandudno as I never have seen it as good.

4 stars
Rod Burkey(31st December 2008)

Nice shot Barbara. Well composed as it is not the easiest place to capture through the lens. This place is good to visit and made me feel rather glad to have been "hatched" after the golden age of cotton. This picture reminds me of a visit there when, at the Aprentice House and I dropped my then new Nikon FE on the stone foor of the kitchen. I managed to take the remaining frames left on the film and then it packed in. Cost a lot to replace the top plate but well worth it.

Never Forget
5 stars
Rod Burkey(30th December 2008)

Superb image. I was born in a Slvation Army nursing home and this shot is a reminder of that but also to me of the 11th hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. Great use of Photoshop (?) keeping in the red of the poppy was inspired. Wish I'd taken this.

It would seem that,as yet nobody has ever found out from were the spring water comes despite many attempts including putting dye in rivers and streams. Many people drink this cold pure water.

Great shot Ron. Must have taken some skill to capture the bird in just the right "pose".
