My first images with the 100mm Macro
Hi Amin, with flowers you don't always need all the flower in focus. As an example, this one has just the stamens? in focus; and the petals blur into, and out of, the frame. Depends what effect you are after of course, but I think this one works fairly well to show what I meant. :) T...

My first images with the 100mm Macro
Liam that's an excellent shot. I had been trying to get one today, obviously not even close to that in quality :wink: Wanted to ask you about the reversing of the 50mm lens please. I tried the reversing ring on my 50mm f1/4 and kind of DOF seems pretty tricky and very very hard to control. D...

Strange looking bug
Wonderful shot Don, the focus and framing is spot on. Well done.

Follow up weekly comp.#82: Bicycles
Hi all, I started this topic as a request from Keith Grant, who asked me to give him some advice regarding his entrie and my comments given in the Bicycle competition. Specially about this part: I just wish, there had been a bit more contrast in this picture. IMO a careful bit of dodging/burning ...

Durham - Cathedral and reflection
Lovely shots especially one and two. They bring back happy memories. I used to row a four out of the boat house in the middle of those two photos. Turning it around right next to the weir to get back in was always a bit hair raising. Durham Cathedral is my favourite building. Did you know that i...

Any idea what kind of bird this is?
Nice snap Ross, not got a decent shot of a Dunnock myself yet despite having a few pairs frequenting my back garden all year round:oops: This is about the best shot I have, not an ideal setting though:(

Aberdeen - Shetland Trip
A few images from last weeks trip to Shetland, all with the K10D + FA50mm f1.4 The first 2 were taken hand-held from the moving ferry leaving Aberdeen Harbour. I'm so happy that I got round to sorting the back-focus issues on the K10D, or these shots probably wouldn't have been possible. I co...

Attempt at full moon shot
That's a great effort Amin, tiny bit of shake evident but good tones and detail. I think a teleconverter will not necessarily produce better results, although the moon will be bigger, the optics will be degraded and the lens will be slower - so more shake to deal with. Mark Thanks, you are right, ...

Attempt at full moon shot
Don't get too down hearted with your first attempt. There's lots of factors at play when imaging the moon. If it's a poor night with unsteady seeing it won't matter what equipement you have or how careful you are taking the shot, it will come out 'soft'. Also, the 55-300 may not have the resol...

Ribbit !!
Where are the ones the dog took??? Have a guess, taken just after he went for the frog ... I can see why you are bringing him back to the UK Mike :wink: The frog you can leave there.8):x

zoo trip with my new lens
I posted a while back that I was frustrated with the reach of the kit lens during a trip to the zoo. Well, the first warmish weekend came around, so I went back with the Sigma 70-300 to see what it can do. Seemed like everyone else in Memphis relieved their cabin fever at the zoo that day too, s...

zoo trip with my new lens
Excellent shots, the rhino for me, well done. Why do you suppose it was hunting :?: Is it a characteristic of the lens you were using :?: the apertures are relatively large so I would have thought it would snap into focus no problem :?

zoo trip with my new lens
I really don't know, it just seemed like it couldn't make up its mind. Maybe it was only when dealing with the enclosures between me and the animals, and I'm just dealing with an exaggerated memory. Or when the animals were moving, which I guess would be a problem for any tele lens. Anywho,...

zoo trip with my new lens
The green hexagon at the bottom of the viewfinder tells you when the camera thinks the subject is in focus, the red dots indicate which of the 11 focus points the camera is taking its reading from. Basically, wait until you get both the green hexagon and the desired red dot flash up at the same t...

zoo trip with my new lens
(and can someone tell me what's happening when I manipulate the focus and red dots/squares flash in the viewfinder? what is my camera telling me? [i've misplaced my manual]) Personally, I prefer to use only the centre point for manual focusing, recomposing after focusing if necessary. Then you don'...

zoo trip with my new lens
All three pictures are stunning but the rhino is my No.1 too Emily. It must be just about the best rhino pic I've seen. Like Terry says, I never use the multiple focus selection points and shoot only on centre spot focusing. Its easy to snap into focus with it and, holding the botton down half wa...

Stacking macros
I have been wanting to try this technique ever since I read it and today I decided to give it a go as a trial. Even without choosing the appropriate subject I was quite keen on having a go at it. I am quite fascinated with the result. Now you got to really consider my limitations in experience and k...
