'Ancient' Sigma Photos - Comments ?
Thank you for the comments. I am just trying to decide, if the piggy bank ever fills up again, whether to replace the lens with a modern equivalent. I do not know if a new version of this lens would be optically better as well as having the benefits of autofocus etc. If the auto focus isn't a ...

I hope very much that you won't be offended if I confess to being forced, in the interests of absolute honesty, to say that your recently posted photographs haven't been quite at the same level. I do like this, but not in the same way. No problem at all Chris - not happy with this myself... I'v...

Lilly. What a wonderful shot. I often try to duplicate your mono conversion - but seems to lack the final touch. Do you have a guide - or "gameplan" when doing the mono conversion? Mmmm what a good question, TBH I am not that good I get it right all the time! All I can say is from a...

Thanks Lilly. A bit abstract answer ;) but never the less probably the most correct one. What I was hoping for was some kind a PS - step by step - if you have a way you use the most. :? :lol: About this phrase: softness and quality of light Is this something you do in PP or before you take t...

Thanks Lilly. Really nice thread you started back then. Just what I was looking for. Have to try Joshuas step by step and Dans duo tone.... :D

i was just going to post a standard picture but it did not look to good as the sun was making the picture hazy so took 3 seperate exposures +-0.5 and tried it in photomatrix and the picture just looked so much better.The boat looks a lot bigger when you are next to it pictures do not give a good im...

Spider Pic
I have one living somewhere in my fireplace at the moment. Of course it's a harmless english one, but it's about the size of my thumb and my cat's frightened of it :oops: By the way, Clarky, about the Sigma 10-20. If you are at all interested in landscapes I would really think about getting one. ...

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the Tamron and the DFA back-to-back, I spent an age looking at pictures taken with both online and handling them in the shop (Nikon fit Tamron unfortunately) before plumping for the DFA, mainly for its light weight and the general ergonomics (I love quick s...

Souk :: 56k beware!
Now you have cropped it too tight, take it back one doorway, to just to the left of the lit pillar.

Lunar eclipse
Would love to, but the snow came in today and clouds with it. Skies have been clear for past week and a half... until today. Actually moon poked out briefly, and I realized how BAD my zoom lens is. Cannot focus worth a darn. Well, if I get anything I'll post anyway, just for the humor of it al...

Hey, no probs. Have a good time on your outing! Unfortunately I've got a bit of a cold at the moment (caught the "man flu" from my other half) so I have no plans to go out and about at least for the next few days!! I'd love to see your results from Highgate when you get back Fiona

1st day out at Hawk clearing
Assuming that these two photographs are, exactly as taken, with the first one I would crop it right down leaving just the hawk on the post. The background does nothing for the photograph. With the second one, it is a shame that the extremities of the hawk are missing, I would therefore try a cro...

No. 2 should have the post in 'cos that is the point of what the hawk is doing. It doesn't matter to me if it is not in focus.

#1 is a very strong shot. Good catch. #2 - I dare not.... I find the focus on #2 a bit off.....but again....well observed.

Yeah !!! i'm not too sure about whats being said no to either.... my complete guess is that the loggers had other ideas -or their boss did..... ( And may i say before someone else does that I DID NOT set this up-none of my pics are set up-in fact you'll be lucky if i edit them,thats my style for now...

I like the first flower pic the best but i would have cropped out a bit more of the stem . Im not sure what the second one is sorry :? and the OOF bit centre left is very distracting. Cute kid and i like the expression on her face. The blown highlights on her back and face spoil it somewhat. ...
