I haven't posted pic in a while and I wouldn't mind a bit of crit on this one.

It's not particularly sharp because it was handheld at 1/4

Michael - I like it - sure it's not sharp - but I think that adds to the shot for some reason ....... almost feel like I'm looking at one of those really old shots - grainy and, I don't know, almost with some kind of intangible atmosphere... anyway, can't put it into words (as you can tell), but definitely like it :)

Yep - I like it too. To me it looks like the boys are having a well earned breather and exchanging notes after attending some type of emergency. Nice. :D

Nice candid Michael. Has a laid-back feel to it and has captured a good moment. I like the composition and the pano crop works well too.

I don't do candids I sit or stand right infront of them and point the camera at them :P

I know these guys from turning up at lots of incidents so they're used to me being there.

Thanks :)

Great capture, I wouldnt worry about the sharpness.

I think as long as it portrays the story , then that is the main job done.

And you have done a great job.

I think with digital, we get carried away with worrying about every concievable thing. Maybe having a bid bright PC monitor to veiw them instantly, we are getting to critical.
