Sharper Oranges
For close up and macro shots on a tripod I would always use manual focus. I agree and also make sure that your dioptre adjustment 'device' has been adjusted correctly as per the instructions in the manual (another JR tip).

Back from my Cruise
Had a wonderful 2 week holiday cruising the South Pacific, great weather and beautiful islands The first 2 shots were taken from a very small island called Dravuni Island, in the Fijian achipelago. It has a a population of just 200 people, very friendly and fantastic snorkling and diving. Tha...

Back from my Cruise
Go on, rub it in! :? I'm sitting inside 'cause it's cold, frosty and horrible outside. :cry: And I've just been told to start wrapping the Xmas pressies! :? Nice photo's though, glad you had a good time and look forward to seeing more of the South Pacific. :D

Great shots of the kids jumping in the water - really makes me wish I was somewhere warm and sunny right now. :D

waters Edge
I like this one myself, and I keep going back to the Mere to take more shots at different angles, but the water level has risen by a few inches and the stones are no longer visible :( Cheers for your comments folks:)

First K100d Super Pics
I think the focus, composition and exposure are all good, however, the colours look a little over-saturated for my taste. It's difficult to tell (when you're not the person who took the photo) how the scene appeared in real life so maybe I'm wrong, but it looks a little too bright to be natural for...

Say a little Prayer
I've always been fascinated with mantisseseses Is that the correct plural for these beasts? and if so did you already know, or did you have to look it up :P:P:P Nice shots Mike, pity you couldnt get a bit more DOF, but the focus is where it needs to be, I doubt I could haver done any better :D ...

Macro or Abstract what do you think?
It's a great idea, and definitely a macro shot and not an abstract, but I do think there is far too much out of focus. If it was all in focus it would be fantastic.

Macro or Abstract what do you think?
I prefer the second in-focus shot, the first is a good idea but I think it needs careful consideration to the actual point of focus and the amount of DOF, though I have no idea where and what that should be. It may also be better with a slightly different angle, but dont ask me what that should be e...

Yet another Robin !
I dont like it :shock: The selective colour effect that is :D As for the pic itself, I'd have been happy enough with it myself but..... that branch at the top left needs cropping out, I personally would also crop out the one in the bottom right corner, alternatively if you want to cheat you co...

Playing with my telescope
I know you guys don't do astro photos ( well, I haven't seen any on here ), but I thought I'd share some of the first photos I've taken with my *istDL attached to my telescope. I'm not overly happy with focus, but by eck it's hard to focus without the split screen. C&C welcome as always.

That's sharp!! How did you focus?? Mine is 100mm, f/10 Refractor.

Playing with my telescope
I just use the matte part of my split image screen. I've got to where I can tell when it's in focus. BTW, I don't use an eyepiece. The camera is direct coupled to the focuser. I've even used a 2X converter on the 8". Gives me 2400mm, F12. :)

Playing with my telescope
Ok guys..you've beat me into submission :lol::lol: My brother in law has given me his reflector. I've no idea what it is yet, but I'm looking forward to getting my hands on that and comparing it to my refractor. Here's a thing though; did you get into astronomy from photography, or photography...

For Roscoe COVERACK
These are the only 2 I have and were taken 2 years ago with a Canon Compact so just record shots before I got a DSLR! Gives you an idea though, still a pretty coastline. Yes, Roskillys is great ice cream! Hope this gives you an idea, taken looking back towards Coverack. Lilly

For Roscoe COVERACK
OMG! that brings back such sweet memories Lilly. For a year and a half in the 80s I went out with the girl who's parents owned the Headland hotel up there on top of the cliff in shot one. We had the run of the place and our favourite room to wake up in was room 14! - astonishing views over the sea ...
