Tell me what you think
I'm new to this macro business however here's my opinion (for what it's worth): Nice colours and composition but either it needs more depth of field or a different point of focus - I quite like macro's of flowers where limited DOF has been used however it usually requires the in-focus bit to supp...

Light meter i think??
These things were worth their weight in gold back in the days before through-the-lens metering. And Weston made some of the best. I had one and only found Lunasix's and Sekonic Studio meters to be "slightly" better. Now put it away, you're making me feel my age!

Light meter i think??
In these eco-conscious days you can tell everyone you've got a solar powered meter. I still have a Master V as a back up, they used to be the standard meter but not so great in low light levels.

Lowepro Harness
I don't think so. If you look carefully at these two images, you'll notice the rear strap of the harness attaches to a strap on the back of the belt (directly in the centre). Without this same strap & ring attachment on your belt, you would have no method to attach the rear strap for the harness...

Polarizer Filter
I consider 'Digital' filters as simply being a marketing ploy, as I don't see how anything in front of the lens could be digital compatible or not. The term "Digital Filter" means absolutely nothing and is used to 'reel in' those who are convinced that it means something. Digital Filter = ...

Polarizer Filter
I said "thank you, but no, I couldn't possibly inflict such an obvious financial misfortune on such a wonderful establishment as yours". then removed the 'digital' (read plain glass) filter, slammed it onto the counter (breaking the filter), exclaimed "oh dear, the backlight switch on...

Polarizer Filter
The Hoya website proclaims: "Digital Cameras Need Multicoated Filters Digital camera CCD or CMOS sensors are highly susceptible to reflections - this stray light can ruin your photographs! Don't risk your valuable photos by using bare-glass filters." What they're doing is using the ...

Polarizer Filter
This really is a hoary old chestnut of a subject :) . The usual discussion is about circular and linear polarisers and, I think, we are all agreed from empirical evidence that it doesn't matter with Pentax auto focus systems which type we use. My filters, for digital, are now all SMC Pentax ones ap...

Sabbatical
Just back from my Internet "sabbatical" ;-) As it's been a bit quiet on the Infra-red front I thought I'd jump in with a picture I took today in Burnham Beeches. or This was taken with my DS and a Hoya R72 filter (8 secs at F11 on ISO200). The main point of the day was to co...

A Study in Blue
With reflections I always try to use the reflection itself to level a pic. A point and its reflection should always be vertical (lens distortion aside), so I would suggest using the right hand edge of the central post in your photo. Use the 'straighten tool' in photoshop (I have it in Elements 4),...
