- Clocks go back in three weeks. What do you actually shoot on winter weeknights?
Week three on the quayside. Tried the Swing Bridge this time and got moved on by a security bloke for standing near a gate I wasnt even touching. Two keepers though, so still counts
Post #17, in Lounge - First frost up the Harthope Valley, which one would you print?
Tell that to the wife, the hall wall is about A3 and that's me lot. Might do 2 at A3 and 4 at whatever I can sneak into the spare room

aye wider, get the reeds or a tree in the bottom of the frame so theres something sharp to hang it on

go the other way. 1/10 to 1/4 on a tripod and let them smear, the shapes look bloody brilliant like smoke. you'll bin 90% but the ones that work are better than any sharp one ive ever seen
Post #3, in Wildlife - Clocks go back in three weeks. What do you actually shoot on winter weeknights?
Right. Went down the quayside tonight with the tripod. Freezing, two lads asked if I was from the council, and I've got one shot of the Millennium Bridge I'm actually happy with. Same time next week

Twenty minutes, and you've just listed every excuse I used last year

The wife would love that, me firing a flash at her at 8pm on a Tuesday
Post #6, in Lounge - Predicting valley fog in autumn, what do you actually use?
Or just go every weekend and accept 1 in 4. Thats what I do in the Cheviots and Ive got about 3 decent inversion shots in 5 bloody years
Post #7, in Landscape - Camera for my son for Christmas, wait for Black Friday or buy now?
Used every time. A second hand a6400 with the kit lens is well under £600 and itll track a skateboard no bother. Skaters are quick but theyre not swallows
