Yes
At last something to get me off my backside and out of the office at lunchtimes. :clap:

Think I had the ISO setting to high when I taken this at lunchtime. Starting to use settings on the camera instead of just my usual point and shoot on auto.

As the saying goes "I can only get better"

All Comments welcome
 
I love the idea of the reflection of the swan in flight, and as one of your first photos using the non-auto settings it's better than mine was ;)

Yes, there is a bit of softness in there (perhaps from a bit of camera shake or not sharpened in post processing) and I think that if the swan and it's reflection filled the frame it would work very well. But overall it's OK, the slight blur on the wings really works for me as it gives a strong indication of movement :thumbs:
 
Thanks for the comments Simon. :)

It was a bit of a fluke as I didn't realise I had captured the Swans reflection until I downloaded it onto my laptop.

Probably a bit of handshake causing the blur. Not using a tripod at the time.

Cheers again.
 
The reflection of the bird is great, would have been a fantastic shot if it was bigger in the frame :)
 
Not only have you caught the reflection you've also caught the movement. A good start! A tighter crop would be good though so that the bird dominates the frame more.

Good luck with the next 51 and keep playing with those settings :thumbs:
 
A well-timed shot - a second later and that perfect reflection would have been splashed to oblivion. I also like the reflections of the buildings and the whole picture has a calm, wintery feel to it - very atmospheric.

Well done on leaving the safety of 'auto', too.

Good luck for the next 51. :)

I agree with Toothie. Still a good capture.
 
I like it, it's a well caught moment, superb reflection in the water,nice bit of blur in the wings. I think a bit of a crop too. Good start, good luck on the remaining 51
 
Well timed pic of the swan. I like the angle of the castle but it needs a bit of a play with the contrast maybe to make it a bit less 2d?
 
Nice shot, right on theme
 
Good History shot which just needs a bit of a tweak in Levels I think :thumbs:

And where have you disappeared to :shrug:
