Thanks all, very kind It was worth the cold and the wind then ?

Thank you very much Polly, and thanks everyone for your comments

Thank you all, very kind It's a place I would truly love to get back to, but sadly with the current situation and the huge distances to travel it seems unlikely. It's easy to take a nice picture there

Denis and I have been messaging, as I hadn't seen the post here until now I usually use a 24-105 lens, 100 ISO around f11 in aperture priority on a tripod. I often use an ND grad as well when the contrasts are quite great - it might have helped with Johntwo's issue with the bright street lamp

Well done Geoff

Thanks

Thank you so much ... I enjoyed taking it too

Having sold nearly all of the 50 books I had printed, one of the local artist venues asked me to do a small exhibition and a book launch! It's not until September at the Gunmakers Arms in Birmingham City, so it will be a fairly retrospective book launch

Thanks Korky, they are available from me directly, I send them out 2nd class signed for in reinforced envelopes, paypal is the best method for payment

Admin Approved Many years ago back in the mid 70's I started taking photos of the streets of Birmingham, first with a Zenith EM and later a Pentax ME Super. I knew they might come in handy one day (NOT!). Finally after 5 or 6 months of planning my collection of images of Birmingham has just been published. I thought it appropriate that the profits go to Helping Hands of Birmingham, a charity which helps the genuine homeless of our city. It is A4 size with a 350 gsm gloss laminated cover and 40 high quality images on 170 gsm silk paper. Shots are of the city taken during day and night spanning from the Lucas Motorsports event in the mid 80’s right up to present day. The cost is £10 + £2.72 postage, all profits to Helping Hands (shameless spamming). I'm only sad that a lot that I took back in the 70's weren't good enough to print and the negatives have long gone. I spent time in 2016 replicating those 1970's shots to show how things had changed. They look almost acceptable on the scans, but printing was not possible to a good standard Anyway, if you know anyone who might be interested in one of the books, I would be grateful for your support in letting them know ... as the more I can sell, the more can be done for the genuine homeless of the city of Birmingham

Yes, well deserved

Well done

Thank you so much, very honoured

I'm still using the old version, although to be honest if I have to pay for it in the future I dont have an issue as its become an integral part of my workflow - great set of software

Trust me to only notice this months after the event Sorry ..... and thanks

Looks like Sunday for me

I'm going, havent decided which day, but probably Monday
