Very clear crisp piccies. My main problem is wobbly hand syndrome. Did you have a tripod or just rely on not being shaky?

Well, he was waiting for the pub to open so guess his hands were quite steady still....

Yes, the pictures are from Immanuel in Ossy, Top of New Lane( One of the pictures shows this on a sign actually

)

All hand held Willow, I do seem to be reasonable at holding quite still. Theres a rule of thumb that IIRC you can hand hold down to 1/2xFocal length but I seem to be able to hold down to 1/30 for anything up to my 85mm, 1/60 for up to my 135mm and above that it depends on the day, how windy etc

Number 5 and 12 are my favourites and I like the Website, I am a point and shoot guy, so I won't be much good at explaining how I composed my shots, but if it's not to snobby I'll post a few, I am open to critisisum as long has it is constructive

Rule of thumb counts for nothing with me.

Sometimes I can be steady as a rock and sometimes I'm wobbly as blazes and the stiller I try to be the wobblier I become even if there isn't a puff of wind. It's so frustrating. If I don't have a tripod with me I look for a nice handy solid surface which helps.
