My first attempts
Just came back to this and my photos have gone, maybe because I moved them in Flickr. Anyway, wanted to see the difference in the dog after 7 weeks .. 10 weeks old ... 7 weeks later .......

Some close-ups
I like the first picture. I assume it's of some kind of aquarium. The bee on the second picture seems a little out of focus while the plant is sharp, nice try though. The third picture is good too. Nice silhouette. Steve

Some close-ups
Not surprised with the bee, this was the best of several. The first one is taken here at http://www.tierpark.ch/ in Central Switzerland. They have a largish pond with an equally big underground viewing area. Bees are difficult to capture the little blighters never sit still long enough. Good ef...

Hornet?
I always nearly soil my undergarments when I'm taking macro shots and a hornet flies past. They're so large and seem to have a very determined manner. It's particularly bowel loosening when they appear to zoom off, only to turn around and zoom directly back to you :shock: Oh, I don't like wasps e...

Hornet?
Less aggressive than wasps? Back in Canada where I grew up, hornets, with their dangling legs and wild looks, were easily the most aggressive of all flying stinging things. I saw a terrier overwhelmed by an entire colony of them. I swear the poor thing would have died except it was rescued by its wo...

London Trip
Yeah the 6x17 Fuji is still seeing a little action although to be fair I've been more than a little lazy at getting out over the last 6 months or so... Was never going to sell the Pano kit but going back 18 months or so I ended up with 2 of the things whilst trying to get my sticky mitts on one o...

First Macro lens
Just picked up my first macro lens this weekend. Although I hadn't seen much point with having something like the 28-300 or 18-200 with "macro" ability. But been rather disappointed in bokeh of closeups with those lenses so I thought I'd try one out... ended up buying it. Wow! Now I ...

Misc. Pictures :-)
Hi Steve, As for the non pentax shot, don't worry. It is a lovely portret and you are right in loving this very much. It doesn't matter wich camera you used. As long as you have seen the light and use Pentax now, we tend to forgive some early life sins :twisted: :wink: The graphical light tubes I...

copper fly
It's a hover-fly, most likely a Drone-fly, but they're often difficult to identify unless you get seriously macro on them and can see the wing veins :shock: Did you use spot focus and then re-compose the shot? It looks like you only just missed the focus point on the fly's eyes, which are usuall...

copper fly
You're quite right, I did spot and recompose and my focus was a bit off (it was raining and a bit windy, that's my excuse :wink: ) so I might have a little play in PS and see if I can sharpen it a little. Glad you liked the composition - took me ages to decide where to take the crop from. :?

First attempt at macro
Hi. Good first go. Did you notice that the top of the coin in the secong shot isn't in focus? Depth of Field in Macro is virtually 0. Try the coin again with it perfectly perpendicular to your lens. Another way to get SOME DOF, is a smaller aperture - this requires as much light as you c...

Jumping spider
I knew there must be some furry things there somewhere :lol: I do think your jumping spider is very handsome, and very well captured, it's just not what I expect to see on a Sunday morning staring back at me. I should know better by now of course and not open Clarky photos until after breakfast ...

Jumping spider
Another nice shot Clarky, I don't much like spiders except the small jumping spiders we get over here - they are only about 5-6mm long :D I must try and take some pictures of one. Your example has a good? eye arrangement: four at the front (two large, two small) plus two at the side and two at the...

First shots with the K20
Got a chance today to give the new K20 a run. I still haven't recieved the Sigma EX 180mm macro yet :cry: Not happy either, the guy told me they had one in stock when i agreed to the deal. But now he is telling me its on back order. :cry: Taken with the bigma at 500mm. f8.0, 1/20, iso100 ...

Martin - these are really good shots. How does the manual focus do? Is it ok for birds? - so far it looks very good. Great details in the shot. I like the white horse one alot.

First results Pentax SMC A*300MM/F4
I love the way you can see the midgets between the neck and the legs of the white horse. Sorry, this made me laugh. :lol: I'm sure you won't mind me correcting your english - the word (I hope) you meant was 'midges' (tiny flies), not 'midgets' (tiny people). These do look good, but I'm sure a...

Great shots Martin. A little soft in some of them but a good start. I don't think my old eyes will be up to the manual focus though :wink: Keep em coming.
