Tunisia 1991
Being temporarily back in the UK I have been re-united with my slide collection and also my ScanDual III which I got to work with Windows Vista using VueScan. So I was going through old slides sort of at random and came across a set from a holiday with my brother in Tunisia back in April 1991. In th...

A newbies attempt
Nice images, Father. But all images, except the last one, seem slightly out of focus. Ref my reply to woodworm above. Also, in the first image, I would like to see more colour in the sky. Seems washed out in my opinion. A polarizing filter will do wonders.

father ted... I agree with what you said... I suggest "getting it right in camera" is the best policy. photoshop is best used as a tool to unleash your creativity, so it helps to start with a good, properly exposed, properly composed shot. sure photoshop can be used to fix mistakes, bu...

What am I doing wrong?
The image looks slightly out of focus to me... However, if you are saying that it looks very pale, then I'd suggest calibrating your monitor - even if it's only by eye. The shot looks fine to me on this monitor ;) Let us know some more details about your machine (PC and screen) and software an...

What am I doing wrong?
I agree with Matt. Focus appears to be the main problem, not always easy to get right on furry objects. Exposure appears about right. The background does absolutely nothing for the image. Almost any other background would be better.

It's the kind of out-of-focus I experience with my kit lens also. In fact, I posted a complaint to the Norwegian Pentax representative today. I would try tweaking the Sharpness to maximum in the Rec. Mode menu. It does help some. Also try to aim for higher f stops, f/8 or f/11, to increase perfor...

What am I doing wrong?
Hi people - thanks for all the replies. Looking at it again I agree the problem is the focus - it's just when I first view the pictures the most obvious issue is the washed out look - but I'm sure this is me not understanding what's happening when I convert the image to .jpg as the .pef files loo...

What am I doing wrong?
no problem BTW with regard to AF mode, I almost always have my 10D set on centre point only. That way it's easier to control exactly where the camera focuses. Most of the time you will want to focus on the eyes of the creature (be it human, animal, bird or whatever) being photographed. Like al...

What am I doing wrong?
having just skimmed through this thread... I've a couple pointers.... one: make sure your exporting your images in the same colorspace as your viewing them.... for example, it is possible for me to have aperture set up to run in adobe '98 rgb and then export into srgb...now I can imagine that if...

Pentax DA* 300mm F4 + K20D
First time out with this new lens. Some shots walking around the local park. I'm particularly impressed with: 1. PF is very well under control at F4, there is some in extreme conditions but it seems to disappear after F4.5. Nothing like the higher PF levels that I've seen from the DA* 200mm from ...

You're not helping me at all here Chirpy! :evil: Keep thinking "I'll get one... I won't get one..." :? The close focusing is something I'm especially interested in, I know it's not macro, but for flowers and similar I reckon it would do a great job. I think it would get a lot more ...

Thanks Fiona. I was intending to take photo's of flowers when I went out, but suddenly found that close focus very versatile.

Orchids and an SMC A 135 2.8
Having had to come back to England light, I have only my old *ist DS (borrowed back from my sister in law), the Mk 1 18-55, and a newly acquired SMC A 135mm. What a lens! Here are a couple of pictures using the 135 of an Orchid, the first at f 2.8, the second with a +3 closeup filter and at f9.5. ...

Orchids and an SMC A 135 2.8
Orchids are one of my favourite flowers (hence my avatar). These are beautiful, the colours are amazing. I first encountered orchids at Kew Gardens a few years back. They have an orchid festival there I think every year (just in case people are interested in seeing loads of different ones at once). ...

I like the crashing waves and I can see your idea with the blurred foreground, for me though it's too dominant & really pulls my focus to it just my thoughts simon
