Some lovely shots in here over the weekend.
I was in York for a christening, really wanted to be at Oulton Park/ Manchester for the Gumball.

I have just finished editing one of the weddings from Cyprus, still some cool sunsets in the album.

 

[Tonys]

Some amazing shots, the standard in this thread is just getting better and better. I have nothing to contribute at the recent standard, ill have to pull my finger out.
Really liking Yanoo's morning dream shot, Matt's pictures and I'm a fan of the tunnel picture Aaron, love that type of processing.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Cheers Tony.
I thought I'd give it a different process, have done with a few of the shots from that weekend, mainly concentrating on high contrast processing. I'm pretty happy with it and find it works well especially in black and white.

Shot my first wedding two weeks ago, amazing if insanely busy experience. Not only was I shooting the wedding, I was to be in quite a few photos (I'm the brother of the bride) and did a huge amount of the prep and clearing up work on the day itself. Did 14 hours between those various jobs on the day, loved it though.

Pics haven't gone further than immediate family yet, so just a subtle one for now...

Those animal shots are amazing, Scott.
Serious amount of detail in those.

Went for a 7am stroll before work one day last week.

Went to Welsh Mountain Zoo yesterday. Not too keen on photographing zoo animals, especially caged ones. Only went there for the penguin display really and that was ruined by some s**tty kids and their awful parents.
I like this one though of a Red faced spider monkey.

Caged by A_Cro, on Flickr

I've got a load to edit though, I've got a good one of a Penguin but want to black out the background of it.

 

[Matt_90]

That monkey shot is cool, although I find it rather creepy lol!

Some from this weekend -

[Ay Ay Ron]

Cheers Matt. The monkey just looked like he wanted out. Didn't really do much else apart from stare at people. I tried to capture the fact that he was trapped. There was another one which was running and jumping about loads but this one just clinged to the cage all of the time I was there.

Loving your wedding shots by the way, really nice style.

 

[Yanoo]

Thank you for your comments. Here is an another shot from this series:

'Morning dream' is my personal fav.

 

[Yanoo]

Matt, although I'm not keen on weddings but I like your wedding pics . They are so different.

 

[v15ben]

Golden Sunrise is an amazing photo - wow!

 

[Mr Burns]

Agreed.

 

[Yanoo]

Thank you

Couple of my favourites from the weekend.

Milky way is starting to become more visible now Unfortunately there was too much light pollution from the near by coastal towns and the A55.

A couple more from the other night. Some bio luminescent plankton was visible when the waves broke. Not as much as in the previous nights but still pretty awesome to see.

And a quick one while I was waiting for the sun to bugger off. I tried upping the shadows in the dark area but it killed any quality there.

still practicing, I don't really get much time with the camera.

Would really benefit, and like, spending time with an accomplished or good photographer, just to pick up knowledge, ideas and tips
