Time to get your own back!
Nice blue tit! I've got a pair at the moment but they always get all shy when the camera comes out - I'd love to get a nice sharp shot like that but my blackbirds are the only ones that hang around and pose for me as a rule... My garden was visited by a pair of bramblings on Sunday; they stayed f...

That's a lovely tit shot. It just how well the bigma can perform even if light is a problem. Hmm, bramblings, I'll have to look out for them.

Nice shot Spidey! How did you get it to pose like that - the ones round here don't stay still for a second. I'd never heard of a Brambling I must confess :oops: - but seeing the photo I realise I see them all the time in winter, in my garden and in the local woods. It is called a Keep in Dutch...

I hate to be hypercritical of what is a very lovely shot of a Blue Tit, but I find myself wishing the focus was on his face rather than his near side. These little guys are hard to catch though, so well done!

Everything's right about this shot. For me that would be one-in-a-million. Literally! Congrats!

coastal sunset panorama
No problem Rob, when I did one of my first panoramas (back when I was scanning film to do them) I thought I'd done a great job, until about a week later I notice a tree which had a trunk that didn't match top to bottom. :roll: So easily done as you're staring at the pic for so long you start to mi...

coastal sunset panorama
To clear up any confusion, I saved it at 12 Next time i'll reduce it, I just like the high qualtiy ;) though saving at 10 reduces the file size by over a half sometimes. And I doubt you'll notice much, if any, difference between 10 and 12, but it's up to you really. Perhaps you could put the note...

Dune Trees
I agree I don't know what it is about it but trees just seem to look really good I guess its the view that you get, wider than normal, that doesnt often astound with other subjects. I'll probably be going back to the dunes many times with the fisheye attached ;)

Handsome spider !!
Another great shot Clarky - still not my favourite subject matter :D I reckon if you tried to swat that thing with a newspaper it would push back! Vic.

Easter on the Coast
Its not the sharpest shot and if i had taken my 055proB tripod instead of my cheap rubbish one, I am sure it would have made all the difference. I've seen a Bigma shot of the moon over at Pentaxforums.com that was a bit crisper than this one, so I'd say that although this isn't at all bad, you can s...

I could see a definite shake in the view finder following the 2 second delay when the mirror came back down. Not sure if that would have an effect or not :? Well, by the time you get the bang and shake from the mirror coming down, the shutter is long since shut, so no it wouldn't. I was focus...

The main thing wrong with the one at F6.3, I think, is that it's overexposed, and not quite in focus. Here's the one I said you should shrink and sharpen a bit. I also brought the exposure down a stop.

Thanks Chris, Shrinking it down certainly makes a difference :!: The one at 6.3, 1/180 is over exposed and i have another at 6.3 with the exposure at 1/250 but it looks dark and possibly OOF also. I found if you focus on the dark shades of the moon or the lighter shades, you end up with a vast...

I guess its a trial and error thing when shooting this type of thing and it all comes with experience :wink: Very much so. Exposure in particular. The amount of light coming back from a moon that isn't quite full, like yours, is an amazing amount less than when it's bang on full. I don't have ...

No, the ducks were 'hooded' ducks, and you don't want to go near the hoodies round here. :wink: Dan Ok you have my interest :P Whats a hooded duck :?: Do they have big teeth and claws or something :lol: All of those and more - you never turn your back on a hooded duck. :shock: And you t...
