Pink Rose with 50mm f1.4. C+C.
Tel This looks fabulous. You have managed to bring the whole beauty out of an ordinary pink. Cracking shot. I like this image really a lot. Did you take handheld? I have been a bit frustrated using my 50mm f1.4. Cant seem to manage to get the best out of it. Truth be said though that I haven't...

Pink Rose with 50mm f1.4. C+C.
Lovely tones on the rose, but the background is too busy for me & is distracting to the eye. Particularly the more in-focus white flowers & the harsh shadow below the rose. Did you try it with a shallower dof ?

My fun moments with the 50mm f1.4 :)
Last (non fish) shot is a cracker. Those big eyes which contain an interesting reflection. A nice play of light from left to right also. Maybe a little localised sharpening of the eyes will make this shot even better. RR, yup, I noticed that in the look. He was standing just next to the patio door...

My fun moments with the 50mm f1.4 :)
The cropped head doesn't bother me, but I'd be tempted to take more off the top to a square format so that it looks totally intentional :wink: In the situation you describe I'd either increase iso (if within acceptable level) or indeed open the aperture back up. You could of course actually use y...

My fun moments with the 50mm f1.4 :)
At 1/60 s at 50 mm focal length I would ignore the flash symbol. With shake reduction on you could easily go down further. I have the dynamic range setting on as standard so I usually shoot at ISO 200 anyways. I wouldn't hesitate to up the ISO to 400 under the conditions. And you were not far off...

My fun moments with the 50mm f1.4 :)
Here's a visualisation of what I suggested Aminstar. A quick before & after shot (although have cropped original too) Some global unsharp mask. Further unsharp mask on the eyes only. & boosting of contrast. You could sharpen the eyes only & go for soft focus, but your little one has baby ...

First attempts with the 55-300 mm
Not exactly the most interesting of subjects to photograph SHAME on you:shock: The Magpie is a beautiful subject, and not all that easy to photograph with the contrasting plumage, and this is quite a good attempt. I suppose you either love or hate Magpies but you cant deny the fact they are ma...

First attempts with the 55-300 mm
Nice attempt aminstar. Birds can drive you mad trying to photograph them, set yourself a bird table up in your back garden, and keep it well stocked with food,you will soon get a few visitors. As the birds get more confident you con move the bird table closer to the house, and maybe try taking some ...

A secret Welsh lake....
Number 2 for me. Number one seems...erm... a bit flat is the best way I can describe it. But that's just my opinion :wink: I must get myself back up there. I used to stay at a campsite not far from the Rhyd Ddu path.

A secret Welsh lake....
I know what you meen Simon the first time I put it on the camera it freeked me out till I got my head round it. I think I will probably put the two lenses on both cameras and just see what the results are when I get back. Im realy looking forward to it. Ian

Advice please....
Nice shots Karl, I really like them. There are many ways how to process them and it's just what your taste is or what you want to do with the photo. I was so free to use one of your photos as an example if you've a problem with that I'll delete it okay. Mainly Played with the curves but ...

Advice please....
To be honest, having looked at them again, they are very dramatic just as they are shot. I was on my way back from shopping in Harrogate and I am so glad I had the Pentax in the boot. As luck would also have it, I had my old 28mm lense on. The available window of opportunity doesn't last very long ...

My feathery friends
Nice captures, Oggy. My pick is #3, well exposed and focus just right. But I wonder why the left bird in #2 looks kind of angry. Doesn't he like the food?

Nice shots. Like using the Bigma, its all about getting the focus spot on.

A few recent ones...
Yes, the first shot is a combination of three different shots taken of running water at a local reservoir. I then assigned the 3 different shots a separate colour and merged them back together. I was trying to get the moving water to appear tri-colour. (next time I will use a tripod). Shot 2 my d...

First try on infrared
Wow thank you all for your great reaction :D Brian, the filter was 89B from Ckoin for the Z-PRO holder Amin, as far as removing the flare goes, I only cropped the bottom half away from the image since that wasn't interesting, you can still see the big flares as a blue haze in the top right cor...

A United Kingdom
Taken at Loch Leven Fife. This little boat is the ferry across to Loch Leven Castle on the island in the middle of the loch. The castle is where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned in 1567, and later forced to adbicate. This was taken a while back with my K100D.
