Our back yard

Mostly deer, and many, many different birds. The house is only 5min. from the center of Lancaster city, The county I live in is mostly farm land and light industrial so most of the wildlife is small, It's a great area for photography and there are many scenes that change with the seasons here. Y...

Underwater Macro

Does anyone have any suggestions for photographing small tropical fish in a tank ? The main issues are lack of light and obtaining focus. The one below is Iso 400, 1/125sec and f 2.8 using a Sigma macro. It was taken through glass (without a polarising filter). The water in the tank is q...

Underwater Macro

You could put on of your DA* lenses on the K10D/K20D and take the photos directly in the water :P Hmmmmm ! Focussing is quite an issue. Manual focus is hopeless - everything happens too quickly. On autofocus it moves the lens barrel in and out really quickly as it switches from near fish to...

the spider and the angel

I collect angels Nice hobby, I think SWMBO (the only angel in my collection) wouldn't like me to take that one up :lol: It's quite amazing what you find when you zoom in to some of your shots. This certainly is a prime example. When I saw the first one up there I thought that the "rays" from the ...

Some photos from our local park (sorry)

As the Sigma 135-400mm DG APO arrived a few days ago I decided to take it out to see if it was any good or whether it was going back on Ebay and go for the Pentax DA 55-300mm.

Some photos from our local park (sorry)

Do you know something, I entirely agree with you which is why I posted the pictures and the lens I used. I was actually hoping someone would comment on the softness which I noticed and so back up what I was thinking which is why I also put them on another forum I use. From them I gained some usefu...

Strawberry macros

Not sure if I've shown them here before (search didn't turn up anything but that doesn't mean too much, does it? And with two cruises in quick succession time is becoming a blur...). It's a little series I did back in June: K20D, Sigma 105 mm/2.8 EX DG Macro, 1/10 s, A32, ISO400 K20D, Si...

British Motor Show AGAIN!!

The first two are wonderful - looks like the Camaro caught all our eyes and the Ford GT looks great from that angle! :D I'm also impressed with numbers three and four - great job handling all the reflections under those lights, I failed miserably in that task. Just a shame the "model" is wearing ...

British Motor Show AGAIN!!

Thanks for the comments. I had great fun taking these shots, and as cars really aren't my thing, wanted to try and look at them differently. My aim with the Suzuki was to highlight the pink areas (after all, I am a girl - "sexy headlights" really?), so I was trying to show the indicator light and pi...

Pics from world trip

That balloon shot is simply awesome! The sky radiating out from behind and all the colours just work so well - fantastic capture, I'd be very proud of that! :D Agree re the composition. Any chance we could see a larger version? (They removed the 550px limit a couple of weeks back.)

Your Views Welcome.

Hi Duroo, I like the tiger shot, it might not look realistic but nonetheless it's looking great. On the second one I would have been bolder with the sky (I think most HDRs lend themselves to boldness somehow, as many of your samples demonstrate). I hope you don't mind me having a quick go at...

Your Views Welcome.

Hi Prieni, Thanks for your comments , im interested in other peoples points of view and i have taken your points on board and can see what you are saying. I would have liked to of created a more dramatic sky on "never ending boardwalk" but the sky was virtually empty of clouds and i had just misse...

Wasp attack

I'm glad you weren't stung. I have to admit I don't care what it is the darn thing can sting many times. Don't i know it :? I had a European wasp find its way down the back of my shirt when at a friends BBQ. The little rascal stung me 3 times before i could get it out. :cry: Didn't spill my beer th...
