Some garden birds feeding.
Giving the Sigma some exercise then? Nice pics. I would reframe pic 1 (female) by cropping and lighten it a bit to reveal the deetail of her underside (excuse the expression), and lighten pic 3 (male). It's too black, no detail in the plumage. Now when I get my DA* 300mm back to spain, I can h...

The rain in Spain ....
Nice rainy day here in Spain today and as soon as that happens all the snails seem to come and and play so here are some pics. First one is more for scale than anything. None have been cropped, just a bit of light processing. Manual focus Tamron 90mm F2/8 Macro lens.

Daisies by the road
Darkmunk, nice job, with the caveats mentioned already about the centre being too empty. I did want to add, too, that you did well to get more than one of the daisies in focus, creating a nice balance with those that are blurred and those that are part of the bokeh. Keep it up! :)

In Flight
Following re-calibrating my K10D's focus, I was keen to test it out with my Sigma 18-200. What do you think? (C&C on the pictures) Picture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3 Picture 4 Taking birds flying is new for me as I have not done much panning pictures, well not since I was abo...

In Flight
Birds in flight are difficult to focus on even when the camera's working perfectly, so it's not really a good subject to draw conclusions about the focussing performance on. Having said that, numbers 3 and 4 look like they're in focus to me and numbers 1 and 2 look slightly off. Hope that helps!

Not a pretty sight (Fly)
not sure what you were advised about the effect of aperture but I love the ones with a shallow depth of field. But they are all corkers! well... apart from the out of focus fly and the 'orrible maggot thingy :( I love those silver metalic flies, they look really mechanical and the hard focus ...

Sea & Shore II
Thanks Hyram! I have won once, so it is not as bad as it seems :wink: Now, why haven't I won more often? Well, this competition is judged by individuals, with different tastes and preferences. You can see that clearly when you choose a winner for the running competition and then compare with...

Lovely picture... you have got the focus (and oof) so perfectly spot on.

Nice, now get that Kiron fixed and go back ... :)

Butterflys
cheers guys. I would love to go back with the Kiron, preferably on a brighter day. The SR was struggling a bit with the concept of 1/20th at 180mm a few inches from the subject. That combined with the obvious difficulties of focusing accurately at these distances hand held made for a pretty low hit ...

Real World Water Resistance
I wish I had a better photo of the rain that my K10D suffered through, but a few seconds after this image was taken, rain fell in sheets of water. The camera could not even focus through all the water on the front of the lens. With manual focus, all I could get was large water spots. :-) I had ...

Throwing the camera up in the air...
Well I for one don't see anything wrong with what you're doing, and as long as you're having fun...but I got an ADD attention span, and could easily find something else to do, while waiting for the camera to come back...... my kids never liked playing toss up (or hide and seek) with me..... toss 'em...

Wildflowers
It is an amazing lens - bought for its long capabilities but capable of being used almost as a macro lens. That's the way I'm using mine more often than not. Okay, not macro as such, but tight crops on flowers etc, and throwing the background way out of focus. Will get round to posting some more...

Advice please
I suppose not. tripod and self timer would help.....push shutter, walk away. maybe a ninja forum, or hunting forum could give you some tips on invisability/camoflage. Chris Angel might have some "Freak"y advice.... But also, really, standing further back with a telephoto, or build...

My other 'tools of trade' shots
Had a pick of 3 shots that I liked to use for my tools of trade entry this week - Thought I'd share the other two as well... I Loved the composition of this one, but the DOF was too shallow and the "tradesman" is out of focus... In fact, I think it's just the whole thing out of focus, a...
