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...

Another moon photo
Um, think that's not quite right. You're quite right Dan. Again. (It was you that caught me out with sloppy arithmetic over magnification factors IIRC). I obviously need to go back to primary school. :oops:

Yet more Sydney Harbour (and surroundings)
The way Clarky's been reminding me of my wonderful holiday back in September, I thought I'd share a few of my photos too. It always amazes me the apparently infinite variation there is in the way different people capture very similar scenes. The Opera House: The Bridge... .....

Comments Please
These are samples of 50 images I shot today using the K10D and the Tamron 18-250mm Di II Zoom Lens. Shot RAW. Aperture. iPhoto. I wanted to further test this lens with the camera set on full Auto. (A few of the same shots I also did with User Mode.) The shot of the Horse Sign on the wall co...

If I went back there it would be to fire-bomb the "olde towne flower shoppe"! :evil: Oh I hate that! Looks nice and sharp, I tried looking for CA in the small tree branches and couldn't see any. Looks like an ideal all-purpose lens for the times that you don't want to carry a bagful ...

Anglesey follow-up - choose a favourite lighthouse shot
1 is my favourite. Is it my monitor or does the sea look slightly pink in these shots? Also I think you need to look a bit more at horizons. Generally it is not good to have the horizon in the midlle of a shot. most pictures work best with the horizon at 1/3 (if the focus is the sky) or 2/3 (...

Yummy!
A big ugly spider on that biscuit would have set it off nicely :lol: The flower shot doesn't quite do it for me. With macro it's important to get some part of the subject in focus. With bugs i always try and get the eyes in focus and with flowers i aim for either the stamen (centre of the flower...

Dans the man with all the knowledge and know how when it comes to macro . Check out his site if you haven't already. :wink: Thanks Clarky, the cheque's in the post. :wink: Not sure there's anyone with 'all the knowledge' of anything to be honest, and I've only learned what I have through trial a...

Can't believe I got a parking ticket for this!
I was discussing this with a PCSO and was told that parking on the pavement is not an offence unless and until you cause an obstruction and refuse to move when requested to. Just causing an obstruction is not enough on its own. However, you are clearly over the area where there are clear double y...

More Syd Harbour
I think the first one is an excellent abstract, and as such you could be even bolder, and darken it slightly more so that the detail at the very bottom is less visible. It's a tribute to the designers that the SOH works so well with so many different interpretations. If that's the whole frame ...

By the way the guy who designed the OH was a dutchman who won an international design competition back in the early 70s. He never stuck around to see its completion because the egg heads paying the bills kept trying to cut corners and change his design. He ended up pulling the pin and walking out. ...

Christmas Pasties
Mmmm, Cornish pasties! Stayed in Marhamchurch near Bude a few years back, I've had a longing for proper Cornish pasties since! Not sure if I could manage 'The Beast' though!

That Cosina 100mm Macro lens of yours looks a gem. Shame the cat is not in focus, it looks like the focus point is a little forward of the cat's location. Maybe lift the foreground shadows a bit in the last one.

That Cosina 100mm Macro lens of yours looks a gem. It's a very decent lens given how cheap it is (mine was £37 used). Shame the cat is not in focus, it looks like the focus point is a little forward of the cat's location. It is - I was playing about with an old M42 manual focus lens at the tim...

FA50mm 1.4 v A50mm 1.7
As there have been several threads lately about the merits of 50mm primes, and the differences between the 1.4 and 1.7 flavours, I tried a little experiment today whilst photographing marmite on toast (which was delicious, by the way :D ). Very simply, on a tripod mounted K10D I used my FA50mm 1...

FA50mm 1.4 v A50mm 1.7
Hi Dan, I have the A 50mm f1:1.4 manual focus, and I think it's fantastic, but I've been drawn to the AF version, please tell me I don't need it, and to spend my money elsewhere !!!

FA50mm 1.4 v A50mm 1.7
You are probably right, Don, I'll stick with the manual 'A', it's been good to me, and works so well at f1.4, even at high ISO's I'll leave the Auto Focus till my eyes really let go !!!

I've received the F1.7 "A" from Ebay & am very impressed. Manual focus is easy with the focus confirmation too. simon
