Long Exposure
My God! I am astounded by the response! Thank you so much! It was a huge effort for me to get this shot, and I posted it because it resonates with me on many levels. It was on the shore of lake Superior in Ontario and I managed to find the 14km road that lead from the highway to the beach 1 hour ...

Fire and Iron
Was wondering what you think of my latest from a series of Blacksmithing shots. The face is a bit soft on the focus and I have bodged a clone-out of a distracting window to the right of the shot in a hurry, but in general do you reckon the shotis acceptable or do I eed to sharpen up the features? ...

Fire and Iron
LOL ahh yes the Fire exit sign I was meaning to clone that out but forgot. I took lots of variations on this shot so will mess about some more and I take your point about right of the flames, will try a crop. What you think about the soft focus on the face? Does it ruin it?

Fire and Iron
I prefer the composition of the first one, which is a really good image. It is a bit oversaturated though, so I would take the colour back to be more like the original shot. The original shot with the new composition would be excellent IMHO.

Fire and Iron
I have to say going back to the second and third efforts after a break I can see the oversaturation problem sticking out like a sore thumb. scotthehat I can see what you mean, but I think for my taste youve gone a bit far as I do want the glow from the fire and hot iron to work a bit. Anyway tha...

Big Stopes
This was my first attempt at anywhere quite so huge underground and is part of the stoped out vein at a Derbyshire Calcite Mine. It was quite a problematic shot, in that I did not want to leave the shutter open whilst the flash holders moved as they would leave a light trail. My first attempt ...

Red Deer on Boxing Day
I like 1 and 3 very much, maybe wouldn't have cropped the bottom of 3 quite so severely. 2 you have focused on the snout and I think that point of focus should always be on the eyes. The eyes of any portrait are by far the most important thing to have sharp.

Red Deer on Boxing Day
I've tried these sort of shots, as you say they don't stay still long enough to focus on the eyes. Still, good shots, well done

Took with the pentax 50mm 1.7 I have mixed feelings with this lens. Being a manual focus sometimes the shot is very sharp and good detail and other times very disapoining. Probably due to my poor vision however I will keep it in my bag and hope for more good days. Ian.

Thanks guys when its right its right but I get alot of disapointing ones when using this lens. I bought the 1.4 a month or so back but I will keep this one in the bag and use it now and again. Ian

Hi Roscoe, yes I agree nothing wrong with the lens or the camera, but I dont always seem to hit the mark with my focusing hence my purchase of the 1.4 auto focus. Ian
