Looks like a lovely place John. Been a few times to the cotswolds, but not for a few years now. My fave is #6. I see what you mean about the ND Grads in a couple of them. I've got a 1 and 2 stop ND Grad, but so far they have been used once, and then badly...
This is going to sound really picky... and it may just be my eyes... but in #2 and #3 something seems a little out of kilter... on the left hand side of both... I don't know what it might be, but I'd guess at barrel distortion.... Hope you don't mind John

Very scenic and beautiful images John. There are a lot of areas like this in the Colonial areas of the East Coast of the States, but nothing like this out here in the West. What a shame. Some day, if I live that long, I'd like to visit my ancestors home places in England and Wales, such beauty!!!

Great images John, I love that Cotswold stone too, very attractive buildings and Church. Would be a nice place to get some shots here at/near sunset if you could get some low light bouncing off those buildings-just an idea.

Thanks- I thought you may like them.
John - I don't mind atall if you see something or something that might be improved., I'm all about improving my photography. I've read about barrel distortion but not quite sure what that its so I've just googled it and seen some examples, a slight 'bending. It puts it down to cheap wide angle lenses. Number 2 was taken with the Canon 24-105- an L series lens and number 3 with the Canon 10-22mm which has been said to be as good as an L series and should be classed as such so I think we can discount the lenses. I wonder if they're 'level' ? Brian's well up on the tech. side maybe he'll see this and let us know what he thinks.

John..I think the problem with photo 2 was that it wasn't straight. I adjusted it by 2.59 degrees to get it straight. Is this any better ? It was taken at 28mm. so not ultra-wide. Whatever is wrong with photo 3 I'm sure isn't barreling having now seen examples of barreling.

I can see how it ended up like that, but yes, that does look better... as small an angle as that.. wow.. I think it's because there are so many verticals and horizontals on the lhs up against the frame edge... Sorry been reading one of my xmas pressies ....
