First B&W with Pentax 645
When I'm shooting landscapes with the DSLR I expose for the sky, for the reasons discussed here. Shooting film, even though I often will be scanning the results, I don't necessarily take the same approach, but instead would be looking for a more balanced exposure (I don't know if this is right or...

WHY WHY WHY???
Thank you Alan happy new year to you too :D It seems that all the good shots don't get a comment so consider this shot as one :) I quite like it, probably not for the same reason like most do but I like how the plant and the plants in the back ground all roughly go the same way and the brighter ...

A quick stroll through Bradgate
I had serious cabin fever, couped up since New Years Eve with a Flu virus, broke out today for a quick walk through Bradgate Park ancestral home of Lady Jane Grey K10 and DA 50-200 in hand. I only had 30 minutes so no time for serious composition Most images were shot at high ISO, PP with Silk...

A quick stroll through Bradgate
I believe your more popular than you think.......that "guy" that came to check you out is in fact a girl :D Seriously tho', there are the makings of some nice shots in there, the only thing that lets them down is the lighting, I loved the trees, get back when the light better and post...

A quick stroll through Bradgate
Thanks for the comments, it was a pretty awful day, the only advantage was that there were only a few people about. Bradgate is only a few miles away so I will definitely go back Steve

Plaza Shoot
Had exam leave today so after about 3hrs of my controlled GCSE Art mock exam I went down to a nice block of buildings (With the Plaza Cinema situated on them), just past a subway (where I also ate lunch :)) with my mate Arthur, and we poked around a bit. We then got questioned by a "security fo...

Plaza Shoot
So you are 15? Right, I can see the pigs fly right over my head :lol: :lol: Seriously though, I love this series. Even the first one I like. You certainly have a good eye for composition. I think the noise in "KING" is not ruining the image (at least at that size). You probably coul...

Hong Kong [4 imgs]
All very nice - LOVE #4! Tell me you used a polarizer! Thanks! I could tell you that I used a polarizer, but I would be lying. I need to go back to the RAW file to see if that dark sky was produced in PP. I seem to remember that it was fairly dark to start with (though it was emphasized with the ...

Thanks Lilly!!
I can see the pixilation throughout the image but more so in the top left corner. Perhaps you have over magnified it :wink: Nice shot though but i would have liked to see a bit more of the image in focus.

Hand tinted girls
I am experimenting with hand tinting in CS2 and with my new Wacom Intuos, I took this 35mm image of tribal girls in North Vietnam a few years back and thought it an ideal starting point. I think by adding the colour to the girls it has made the backdrop look almost like something that was taken in ...

Wedding changes
I've had to ask a friend or two to get thier "(G)aydar" checked, after getting hit on. It doesn't bother me. I don't think there's much difference....in the ceremonies...but as the issue is being addressed in canada and manitoba, I'd love to hear from couples as to what they'd want in a p...

Wedding changes
By which I mean that I'm not judgemental, Chris! I didn't imagine that you were for a moment, John. But I do think you're right - if you feel strongly negative about something, it's going to come out in your photography if you're any good, so feeling negative about a couple - for any reason - isn...

Tamron Adaptall SP 300mm F/2.8 LD-IF
Just got a used Tamron Adatpall SP 300mm F/2.8 LD-IF in lovely condition and went out with it on my monopod (boy is this a heavy lens). From my GX10, F4, manual focus:

Tamron Adaptall SP 300mm F/2.8 LD-IF
Hi Dan, Those shots are simply stunning. I now have something to aspire to - well done. Me, I'd like the Sigma 500mm F4.5 :shock: :roll: Met someone today who had it on a Nikon who said he uses it wide-open all the time and it's very sharp. I can dream :( I'm enjoying manual focus. In fac...

Tamron Adaptall SP 300mm F/2.8 LD-IF
Chirpy, it took me long time to get used to this lens, and I still get plenty of dodgy ones. It's so hard to get sharp focus, especially on a moving subject, and with a wide aperture. I tend to use f/6.7 or f/8 just because it sharpens the lens up a bit, gives that little bit more depth of field...

Lightroom & PS with one shot
I think you've done very well. The whole process with a smooth transition to get the desired effect. I'm not too fond of the whole 'fake image' style associated with magazines/fashion but it is hard work and does require skill to get right. The final image works very nicely, I would have left it a l...

Id appreciate your tips please, first attempts with my SLR :
For a first effort I think they're excellent! :D As for what settings, etc to use I'd recommend a trip to your local library to find a book on photography basics (don't worry about it being specific to any camera or even digital cameras - the basics haven't really changed that much in over 100 ...

Id appreciate your tips please, first attempts with my SLR :
When I was a little kid and my Dad was teaching me photography he gave me a good analogy which I'll pass on to you now; In order to create a photograph you need to take your film (sensor in these digital days) and coat it with light (the word photograph literally means "light painting")...
