70-300 voyerism around Central Station
I'm a bit shy when it comes to sticking a camera in peoples faces. So I hooked up the 70-300G and went for a walk yesterday afternoon.
Some of the shots have quite high ISO so lack a bit of sharpness. Waiting for Something or Someone 
Why are train stations so depressing and exciting at the same time? 
Tracks to nowhere 
Splitting light 
Any comments welcome. A couple more here: http://www.pbase.com/ajo43/inbox Regards

Ajo43 - love the visualisations (you have a good eye) but, IMO, there needs to be just a little more control over exposures etc.
Very nice Chris Chris

I'm not sure why the links don't work. When I previewed the post they were fine. Anyway you can seel them all here:
http://www.pbase.com/ajo43/inbox Chris, thanks for your comment. Do you think you could explain about your comment re controlling exposures. Do you think the shots are a little under exposed? Or am I just trying to photograph subjects with too much range so that the highlights get blown and the dark spots get lost. I must say I was 'lusting' after VR when I was trying to take pics at 300mm handheld. So hard to avoid camera shake. Thanks Regards

The one where you captured the light split into rainbow spectrum - that's awesome!
For that strong harsh midday/afternoon sun, set your tone to medium low or low contrast. There's definitely dynamic range issues with highlights blown and shadows dark.
Chris, thanks for your comment. Do you think you could explain about your comment re controlling exposures. Do you think the shots are a little under exposed? Or am I just trying to photograph subjects with too much range so that the highlights get blown and the dark spots get lost.
Hi The photo of the white haired man (for example) is a very nice shot but the blown area above his head is distracting. Some layer work in PS would help. In the old days of film photographers would do exactly as we do today, but in the darkroom. Dodging, burning and other techniques to enhance the original. Keep the original but have a play with a copy photo, Chris Chris
