I’ve had a rather unfocused day at work today, not having actually done much at all. So I thought I’d post some more piccies, this time from the beach in Rhos-on-sea (I think).
Wasn’t sure which of these I prefer
Same here!
Puffin island and Penmon(lighthouse) in the distance
Some whelks!
Lovely photos sweet-pea! I love seeing other people’s photos, it’s so inspirational! :0)

Great photos again.
Of the first pair, I’d say the first. In the second, although it’s nicely exposed for the rocks, the sky is just too bright and loses a lot of features. The first has a great exposure on the sky but you’ve not lost the detail of the wood and metal in the foreground – a really nice moody shot.
Second pair, again the first. The very foreground metal gives a nice frame, but then you get the interest of the repeating pattern travelling into the distance. The second has a good shot of the island, but it doesn’t gel with the framing, and the wood disappearing straight behind the upright distracts you from looking at the main subject – the island.
I love both the shell pictures. Well spotted!

Ooo, thank U both
I was thinking along the same lines as you Stu for the first pair, and the second pair too, although I wasn’t sure whether the island was better placed in the second.
Must admit my photo’s are cery much hit and miss as I don’t really understand the settings on my camera, I just play around and see what I get

As long as you have an eye for a good photo (you do), the camera settings are secondary.
100% of FACT.

I have a photography book, but I’ve never spent enough time reading it!

Wow! You do have an eye for a piccy! Never noticed that in Sweden as all your piccies looked familiar
I reckon you should just seize on *one* technical aspect that stu pointed out and just try to keep that in mind for your next few sets of photos – like exposure. Then when you’re comfy with that, pick another aspect.

I shall have to try and pick a handful of Sweden ones to put up. There are some I really like and it’d be nice to share.
Our Sweden ones were obviously similar because U too have a good eye, U just happened to beat me to the viewpoint each time
The problem I have with exposure is the numbers! Think maybe I should make up a check card to keep with my camera that I can refer to rather than trying to remember it all.
