Equine Beauty, Tidenham.
1 stars
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.

Hartshill Hayse
4 stars
Patrick Hogan(10th May 2015)

I have to agree with Dave........ It just looks out of focus.

Fairfield Horseshoe
1 stars
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.

Fairfield Horseshoe

I think Vince has said it all........... Brilliant.

Thames Path, Goring
4 stars
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.

Sunset at Waterhead Ambleside 1

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.

The sunset certainly gives it an edge .....

Forest of Bowland, Lancashire
5 stars
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.

A shot that makes you want to be there..............

Needs a bit of a Makeover.
5 stars
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..........

St Paul's
4 stars
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 ?

Warwick Castle
5 stars
Patrick Hogan(16th June 2014)

Wow...... Everything about this image is perfect.

Colin P Witter Lock at Stratford Upon Avon
5 stars
Patrick Hogan(16th June 2014)

5 stars
Patrick Hogan(14th June 2014)

Beautiful with the low cloud cover......... gives it scale.

5 stars

I like the way you have composed the shot with the tree branches covering the blown sky....... Somewhere I would love to visit.

Perfect exposure under what was probably difficult lighting...... a superb picture.

5 stars
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 !

Queensferry and the forth bridge
5 stars
Patrick Hogan(5th June 2014)

Superb composition and a great sense of space........

Porth-en-Alls   ( Prussia Cove )

View from the top of Denham Lock
4 stars
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.

St Arilda's Parish Church, Oldbury-on-Severn.
1 stars
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.

I am a lover of 'reality TV' ........ this picture is along those lines.

Your inclusion of the photographers equipment bags in the shot is so good. Love it all.

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.

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.

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.
