My other 'tools of trade' shots
Agree that the 'line up' is two-a-penny and think that of the three it's the one that certainly should have been rejected. I also agree with your comment that the pilot is out of focus on the '1st alternative' submission, though the tip of the prop spinner appears to be in focus. Of the three, I t...

Some pics from a Sunday jaunt
A few images from a Sunday jaunt into the Highlands. Pass of Killiecrankie looking back towards Soldiers Leap. Queens View looking down the river Tummel, the sun was a tad too harsh to shoot west up the loch. Stanley Mill, one of these places that you don't know exists until you le...

Bee Macro
Like that one, looks like he is coming in for a fast landing. Just as a matter of interest how much do you use autofucus when doing macro, I only have MF lenses and dont seem to have much luck capturing anything that is even slightly moving. I tend to move the camera in and out from the subject t...

A lovely Bentley
I loved this vehicle but I couldn't find the owner. The sigma 10-20 crept back onto the body as usual. There is no way I'm trying to lose me from this one! Mike

Couple of pics using Tamron 90mm macro & 1.4x teleconverter
Thanks, I really want to put my Vivitar 100mm back on but the thing is made completely of metal and is so much heavier than the Tamron it's hard to hold still for any length of time.

Holiday pictures from Scotland - mostly Skye
Hi Bob, That is a nice but...........very large amount of pictures. The fact that you end your post by wishing all the viewers luck, wasn't a joke was it? :wink: Seriously.....,I won't comment on the pictures one for one. Generally speaking I think most of them lack a bit of Oooompf. Saturation a...

Pink Lady Slipper
Almost back to the parking lot on a local trail, when I spotted a few of these Pink Lady Slippers. I acquired more mosquito bites than photos! Perhaps this weekend I will go back, armed with long pants and plenty of DEET. In the meantime, your comments and suggestions welcome, so I have more cr...

Lizard ID please
That's a gorgeous shot :) As for ID - do you have a shot of its back as that might help. A very quick Google came up with: http://www.club100.net/species/P_siculus/P_siculus.html but herpetology isn't something I've looked into.

Lizard ID please
Yep, this is fantastic - crisp focus, with a background that sets of the skin just right.

Lizard ID please
Thanks for comments guys. It is a crop and the only shot out of about 8 that I managed to get in focus and exposed anywhere near correctly. I was surprised how crisp it looked after the crop. Still working on the ID! Chris

Ruby Tailed Wasp
I was in such a hurry to get this that I didn't focus it correctly or slightly moved. I suppose this is one of the rare instances when it would have been handy for AF. Anyone know what it is?

Ruby Tailed Wasp
I have never seen anything like it :? Shame about the focus it looks to have interesting iridescent colours. Keep on his trail, you may get a better one :wink:

First shots with the sigma 180mm
Could you possibly do some with the K10D and post them unprocessed please. I have only had my K10D a couple of months but now there is £100 cashback on the K20D I am sorely tempted. Sure, I just need to get it back off my brother (hopefully in one piece) who is in nothern Aust on a FWD expedition...

Sunken Boat
Thanks for the comments Mike :wink: Yes I was standing up when I took the shot. I still get very self conscious getting close up and cuddly with the subject :roll: With your comments in mind and Don's suggestions about taking many shots of the same thing, but from very different perspectives...

Barn Owl - Tamron 70-300mm - continous shooting
They're very good photos, and with the Tamron I found that around 260mm seems to get you the sharpest results (going towards 300mm from there they do seem to tail off quite a bit). Exposure and focus look good to my eyes and birds in flight are notoriously difficult subjects to capture well - you s...

Barn Owl - Tamron 70-300mm - continous shooting
Thanks, these were the best results, my panning technique needs some work, or maybe it was just the Hen Harrier also at the show moved a lot faster! Great to put the lens to the test. If you took a closer look at the original you'd see these aren't pin sharp and a very close look the sort of fringin...

A few from East Riddlesden Hall Gardens
Love the first two. The leading lines of the first and the drop as a point of centering interest work well together. In the second, the out of focus flowers add a nice balance/background to the one that is your main subject - in a way that having them all in focus could not do. Well done!

Dragon Fly.
you've been spoiled by that Vivitar of yours! I know what it's like, once you've seen what a true macro lens is capable of you'll never be satisfied with a zoom at minimum focus distance again! its a good shot though!
