Could do with a bit of a sharpen though Unfortunately sharpening wouldn't really help, Dons got the focus point wrong......or should I say the camera got it wrong and Don is completely blameless:P Looking at the EXIF I see that Dons shot wide open on the Bigma at 500mm, having done this myself on ...

A little bee from this morning
Mike, To get greater DOF there are only three variables and one mission, use a smaller aperture:- 1: Light, use reflectors or more flash. 2: ISO, increase it to enable the use of a smaller aperture. Try not to increase it too much that noise becomes a problem. 3: Shutter speed, lower it to e...

A little bee from this morning
Mike, To get greater DOF there are only three variables and one mission, use a smaller aperture:- Yes I knew this, what I was trying to say is that when I do macro I normally stick at around f13/f16 which 9/10 times gives me the subject in full focus but sometimes makes the picture look a bit...

When you have the camera set to DOF preview, that's exactly what it does. It'll stop down the lens to your selected aperture so that you can 'see' the resulting DOF. I find it of limited value to be honest. Much better to take the shot, then review it, rather than preview it. By doing this, you c...

Been away for a while
I stayed away for a while to cool down from the changes made here a while back. I'm feeling much better now ;) Thought I'd post some of my favourite macros of this summer for those that are interested. All with the K20D, Sigma 180mm, Metz 48 AF-1 on a monopod: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chir...

Stunning photos. I especially like no. 2, but then I prefer flowers to bugs! Cheers, Kris (and welcome back).

Caterpillar using Bellows and Pentax-M 50mm f4 macro
When I bought a job lot of lenses and other bits off a seller in the USA (including my Vivitar 100mm f2.8 macro lens) there was a set of Ricoh bellows included. Decided to have a play with them, hand held with an old 50mm macro lens attached. Heres the one and only shot (uncropped)that was somewhe...

Vista Competition - those that failed to make the cut...
I'm totally with Hefty - why include people unless you need to for a purpose? By including people your viewer is drawn to examine them and in this case it's the scene that's the subject. You wouldn't include a person in an abstract and I'd say a good landscape is pretty much an abstract in many ...

I didn't think of Quainton windmill - must go up there sometime. :D Waddesdon was glorious on Wednesday; the sun was shining, the air was still, the tourists were low in number and all the trees were on the turn. Certainly one of my favourite venues! By coincidence, the bride at the wedding I was...

Dont know about it fitting the theme but the statue is quite a good shot, I think its the one behind and out of focus that makes it. I personally would prefer a closer crop, maybe even turn it into a B&W.

Hi all, This just turned up in the post, printed at 18" x 12" (actual 18" x 9 1/4") and let's just say that I'm really rather chuffed with myself this morning. :wink: Hopefully I'll be displaying a few prints at a local art fair next weekend. (They haven't rung me back yet). This will be on...
