Another Trip to Scotland
The midges don't mind the rain (if fact they seem to like it) however what they don't like is wind. Avon skin-so-soft does work and, unlike DEET which is also effective, doesn't melt plastics. Several of my film SLR's date back to when I lived in Hong Kong and out there I used DEET based mosquito...

More Infra-Red
Thank you folks. Yes the K10D is much less sensitive (or to be accurate the IR filter on the sensor is better) which means that I have to shoot IR at over ISO800 on the K10D (and usually 1600) whereas all these were taken at ISO200 on the DS. The Tech info is:- Pic 1) 2s @ F11 @16mm ISO200 ...

Can you stand more Scotland photos?
I don't have any shots of Castle Stalker though I've been in the area plenty of times. On my recent NW trip I'd planned to take some shots of Eilean Donan castle on the last day but unfortunately SWMBO needed me back early so I whizzed by it without stopping.

:) very nice, but I wd have cropped left hand side out and had portrait format - I find the left handside distracting with part body and out of focus greenery bottom left, a handsome fellow...

Tiger, tiger ...
Very nice shot. I'd agree with Lilly that the cropped version is better however I'd have been tempted to extend the crop further down e.g. go with pretty much all of the right half of the original shot. Yes, I agree... that bit of extra greenery at the bottom wd frame it better, BTW I think the wire...

I hope he was shooting through some kind of fence Unless you were very brave The whole right side of his face is a tad soft Of course he was shooting through a fence, clever enough to buy Pentax then clever enough to have some sense :D Although the "blurry" bit on the right hand...

Old Coot
Thanks :) I would normally crop that picture too ;) Most of my photo's are used as backgrounds for my monitor which is 1920*1200 and that's why I left it so wide :roll: We visited a new lake not far from where we live, apparently there are bitterns there, but I was amazed to see the kingfishe...

On the beach [3 big imgs]
Since I don't have to submit an entry for the competition this week I had some spare time to work up some shots from 2 weeks ago. It was a very hefty breeze going and it took two days until I got all the sand out of my ears, hair etc. (and yes, I did use the shower but it didn't help immediately). T...

Copenhagen - last weekend
Nimitz, I like much No 3. Opportune shot. The baby eyes are saying thanks mom. IMHO I think would be better the focus a bit after (at baby eyes plane). No 1 is a sculpture fountain? A bit more generous cropping for referencing the spectator in the image should work better here. No 2. Look...

These are so obviously Copenhagen :-) . Seriously, nice shots. I love the detail on no.2 and no3 brings back memories of my little girl at that age, nice ones. Harry

Getting the IR film look...
I find the best way to get an IR look is to use Channel Mixer in Photoshop. Increse the red and green channels and reduce the blue channel to taste. Adjust the overall brightness. Add noise and Diffuse Glow to simulate the effect of Kodak IR film. The other way is to use a R72 IR filter, but t...

Some shots in the garden
I am a little concerned about the halo effect in the background of number 2 Any bright spots in the background will be rendered as out-of-focus highlights. In the case of the A 100mm (non macro) it has 6 aperture blades. That's why they're hexagons ;) If you shoot wide open then they'll be circles. ...

Criticism welcome
Nice shot Peter. What is the blue inlay in the gate is it stone or Metal :?: I think i would have cropped out the right hand side the sky is very blown out and the out of focus sea. Its a shame as it would have made it a great shot. :)

Spider Pic
Hi, The Spider even looks P.ss.d :!: Given the shallow DOF it must have been impossible to get the Spider more in focus. Only his lunch is. Still...., like the expression on the Spiders face :) To be honest the only thing that bothers me is the wired underground. But i suppose moving him ...

K10Ds' first week.
Welcome - and thanks for sharing the pictures. #1 - looks like you had the focus on the tree - not the eye - to bad ;) #2 - crop the picture tighter - that would help it. # 3 - spot on - good shot - good sharpness

K10Ds' first week.
1: My eye goes straight to the scratch on the girls arm. You might clone it out. Also, when people are the main subject, the eye(s) should be in focus. 2: Nice composition but overexposed. 3: My kinda pic. What is it?
