And if you don't mind the neighbours looking at you like your some sort of weirdo I've seen "Neighbours" and if thats anything to go by then ALL Australians are weirdo's anyway :D Fortunately my back garden whilst not so abundant in creepy crawlies does at least have a decent amount o...

You can't beat MANUAL !

Astro shot
Hi Ian, Orion comes out very nice. I hadn't noticed the house in the lower left part, 'till I read your comments. The shot of the moon apears a bit unsharp. BTW, how do you test for accurate focus for your astro-images? I find it particularly difficult and am considering a right angle finder a...

Astro shot
Yes the moon wasnt very sharp.. I was having problems with a shakey tripod and terrible atmospherics that night. I sent you a PM about focus.. suffice to say the angle finder is the way to go unless you have live view on your camera and can use either a laptop or seperate LCD screen as a focus aid....

Fun with a Sigma 600mm Mirror Lens +TC
I wasn't expecting to get anything out of my very old Sigma 600mm f/8 mirror lens with a 1.5x TC on it, but it's a fun lens to use and I was surprised with a few of the shots that they actually came off moderately OK: GX10, 900mm (with TC), F8, 1/640s, ISO 400 . On a tripod, manual focus, ma...

constable-esque??
Um..... Constable did a tad more than paint hay carts in landscape format. Thank goodness. But look at the clouds... you're right of course, the clouds are awful. there was a heavy mist that day, i tried moving the clouds a bout a bit, I even got a long stick and tried stirring them up a bit, ...

Beginner piccies for critique
Hi Janey, welcome to this forum. I second all the points John made, with some extra notes. I think, you certainly have the eye. You only have to develop it a bit more. The first picture has a lot potential. Use the fence as the strongest lead in line by changing your standpoint. And go a lot clos...

I'd agree with John - the 3rd picture is the best because it has drama. The first is a nice scene but lacks any real bite. The 2nd has great potential however I think it needs a single in-focus, close poppy as a larger part of the shot plus more saturation in the colours. Good start though!

Test Images Tamron 18-250mm Di II F/3.5-6.3
I received this lens today and took some test shots this PM around our valley. To say I am impressed is an understatement. Many of the testers state it doesn't focus fast enough, it sure locked on for me very quickly. It appears to be very good quality build and is made in Japan. Here ar...

Pics from the Garden
All those macro shot made me go for a macro - Damn that LBA - is so hard to choose. Went to a photo evening with Casper Tybjerg - a "world renown" danish nature photographer (unfortunately he uses N*****) - he had some cracker phots of spiders - just as you Clarky. (actually this shot...

Sydney Harbour
Nice set Clarky....Make me remember my days in Sydney a few years back. #2 is by far the best shot - very nice composition and colors. I agree about the first one - make it horizontal - that would be a lot better. Nice exposure control. The Luna Park shot - I cant figure what you aimed at ...

Another moon photo
Curious about the exposure and shutter as well. It appears to be 1/500s at F8, ISO 560. There's a free extension for Firefox called "Exif Viewer". Can't recommend it highly enough. 300 is really a little short for the moon, so this is about as good as you could expect to get. Very n...
