First Macro Shots
I like the grass hopper josh. Lovely colours and composition. I like very narrow DOF, keep going 'til you get those eyes in focus and you're sorted :)

First Macro Shots
The grasshopper would have been a cracking shot if the focus was just shifted on the eyes more. You were so so close. Lighting looks just about right as well. If you are using a shallow DOF I would suggest dumping autofocus and going manual (if you aren't allready).

A wet Duxford Autumn Airshow
They are the Patrouille De France and were supposed to open the show but didn't due to the weather. So they flew in from Cambridge airport and treated us to 2 flypasts...then went back home. Bit disappointing really, I know they couldn't do the full display but thought perhaps they could have done...

Dang! Have I got my teeth in too? Just to go along with this whole aged thing, I loaded up my first Spotmatic this morning and slapped on my trusty 50mm 1.4 Takumar. Love what it does with autumn colours. Keep forgetting to wind the film! 44 years and I've forgotten already! Evil digital...

Martin, I was embarassed to metion about looking at the back of the camera, but yes! The funny thing is, I did that one time and this old guy (REALLY old guy) said "Gee, do they still show you the picture number in the little red window?" Don, TLR's were a dream come true for lens builders ...

A while back I handled a Zorki 4 - by golly it's a heavy bit of kit! The viewfinder was very small not as good as the Leica III which I think it was based on, is that right or was a Contax rip off? Exceptional value for money. Mike

Morning dew drop & another attempt at HDR
First one taken this morning in the forest, Tamron 90mm manual focus macro lens. HDR attempt take a bit later at a park in Alicante with DA 16-45mm (3 shots bracketing -2). Flower shot also taken with 16-45mm, I must say this lens does give some very nice results (when I remember to use it). ...

Out and about in Spain
All taken with K10D and Sigma 135-400mm DG APO, apart from the last which was the Tamron 90mm manual focus SP f2.8 macro.

Couple of flower pictures with new S-M-C Takumar 85/1.8
Lens is a Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 85mm 1:1.8. I'd like to start doing some portraits but am struggling to find willing models (including friends and family). Going to a couple of weddings soon so might try and subtly take a few without getting in the way of the pro. I do enjoy using the old le...

Couple of flower pictures with new S-M-C Takumar 85/1.8
I was thinking of one of those cheap split focus screens, but was advised ( on here ) not to. So I got used to auto focus instead.

flamingos
In my opinion, both focus and exposure are spot on. To me the composition in the third photo looks better. But all shots are beautiful.

Just a few snaps from Barcelona
Nice shots - I visited Barcelona last year for a long weekend and we had a fantastic time, that first image brings back happy memories. I also spied a K100 user in there but she was young and attractive so left her alone I thought all Pentax users were young and attractive?

The thirty nine steps
I like this shot too. Including the gate adds something, sort of an invitation into the picture. I'd like to see it with a bit cropped off the left and bottom though, as womble suggests. Might be slightly better. This is completely off topic, but I think this monument lead to the naming of a band...

First few photos!!!
I think for first efforts they're not bad at all, however, you did ask for some feedback so here's mine: Photo #1. The point of focus seems to be running down the middle of the car (the bonnet ornament seems to be the sharpest thing) and it takes the eye away from the signature on the door, which...

Salisbury Cathedral
Kris, that's a very nice shot. The light is excellent, the shadow of the cross and the open book (looks too thin for a bible) make for a good composition. I would correct distortion to have the edge of the table (altar?) straight as well as the joint of the upper row of stones. I also would tr...

A few portraits of kids
I think they are all very good. Nr.1 could use some cropping on the right. Nr 2 is a absolute winner for me. Could it be you missed a small piece of color on the back of his shirt? and Nr 3 is just as good. I just like 2 a tiny bit better. The parents must be very happy. And so must you. well done...

Portland through the autumn haze.
Thanks Tel.. :) It was a nice day but hazy, which helped to keep the focus closer to home, rather than on the horizon.. 20/20 hind sight is a wonderful thing.. :) Cheers Liam

Car Show
Aaaghhh!!! Not the tail fin, the back bumper :oops::oops::oops: It was a very close crop to remove someone in the background that I didn't think I could clone out. I got it as close as possible to the red tail fin and didn't spot I'd cut the bumper. I've said it before and I'll say it again.....

Butterfly Photo
Ok, think I have been getting back into my old ways, overprocessing my shots. Have redone them with no sharpening, a bit of a boost saturation wise and thats about it. ... feedback appreciated.
