Hi All,

Just spent a few days down in Padstow on Rick Stein's seafood cookery course and managed to get some shots of the beautiful harbour down there.

I am quite pleased with the way they came out and as such didn't do a great deal with them in Photoshop, but as a rookie to the world of photography I'd really appreciate any C&C.

Many thanks,

Tom

Hi Tommy,

I'm just not quite sure about the composition of the first one, I think the subject is a bit too central, but the other two are good.

None are bad and all have nice water and sky.

I'd be pleased to have taken them,

Many thanks for your input Dave.

I like the first one most which probably means Dave is right. At first I couldn't understand f22 but I guess you wanted starry lights. It is a very long time since I was in Padstow, I stopped going when a jukebox was installed in the pub. It looks quite warm but it is freezing here, in da midlands.

Yeah I wanted as great a depth of field as possible and also I wanted long exposure times to smooth the water out as much as possible (although it was fairly calm) plus it was quite dark when I took them (#1 & #3 were shot about 20 or 30 mins after sunset and #2 was shot about 10 mins before sunrise - I just happened to be awake - must have had something to do with all the rich food I'd consumed during the previous 2 days! :P).

It's still a lovely place, although it has turned into Rick-Stein-Ville somewhat!
