First photo submission.
Question is, what do you want to show with this picture? Or, what is your point of interest? Technically the focus seems OK, but somewhat underexposed.

First photo submission.
Over the years I have had constructive negative comments which have helped tremendously. Whilst I joined the Pentax User website back in 2005 I am to all intents and purposes a new member as I have only started contributing in the last couple of weeks. Since then I've had such comments in my galle...

Some shots from Edinburgh Zoo
Love the composition of the first shot I am amazed at the close-up shot of the flamingos feathers colour is so vibrant and the focus looks spot on to me. That could be read wrong I am not surprised at your skills but amazed at the beauty of the shot.

Crocus
In reply to Misiek_Knm It is mostly DOF, they are growing in pots in the yard, 2 of them(2 & 3) I darkened the background in PS as a layer and then masked the bloom and knocked back to the original shot, number one is straight from the camera with a little cropping and no other changes, number 3 ...

Robin in the garden
Stefan I think I have nailed what the culprit is with my focusing. I wrote about it on the other thread. I am going to check it now and try to put it right. I have the suspicion that the majority of my shots with this lens lacked huge sharpness because of that. It seems to be way out of focus. C...

Concert Photos
Went to a concert in Ilfracombe back in October. I have not really done any PP or taken many photos since then, just been too busy which is a shame. Emily Autumn, she is a very good Violinist/Pianist. I like her purely instrumental stuff both modern and classical. The show is a bit weird. I...

I never seen EN live, but seen few clips. I can imagine the club owner frustration :lol: They're amazing using anything to produce a sound and then mixing, remixing, distorting, amplifying etc to get the final result (ie dripping water into a bucket / bowl of water in a huge empty concrete hangar or...

Studio Shoot What do you think?
I'm going to do Nathan a favour and "BUMP" this post back up. I dont think it's had the attention it deserves yet. These are terrific images of a gorgeous girl, well deserving a second look.

Studio Shoot What do you think?
Lovely shots but the white background shots are to harsh I had a studio and I used to use some soft focus shots to soften, neutral backgrounds are always best for me anyway.:mrgreen:

It's party time
Just got back from a festival in the local town. Took an old manual focus lens I had never used before, big mistake as my manual focusing speed is well off since I got a few more AF lenses. Anyway, a few that turned out ok. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. (Tommy Cooper conve...

It's party time
I know how you feel Mike, I have been playing with some old Takumars of late and my bin ratio is about the same as yours. :cry: But its still fun using them and thats what counts I guess. I am improving though and have just recently installed a Katzeye focus screen which helps. BTW no.2 for ...

church shots
sorry forgot to ask whats the cure for blown skies neil Expose to the right, i.e. check the histogram and make sure that there is nothing beyond the right hand edge. The photo overall may look horribly dark and under-exposed. Then use something like CS3's shadow-highlight tool to bring the shado...

Sculpture
I find it interesting so many people say "I don't like HDR..." HDR can go from really very subtle to horribly garish depending on how you do it. Some photographers deliberately go for the "over cooked" look which is where, I guess, the feeling is coming from. At the other end of the scale it is p...

Ben Spies at work.all shots taken with Tamron 70-200 on manual focus, the adjustment on this lens is very fine and can almost be done whilst panning could have done with a 300mm but it's not easy carrying camera gear and camping gear on a 7000klm camping ride Thanks for the comments and feed...

Thanks Don, you see what I was saying about Ben Spies. He needs elbow sliders the way he leans his shoulders right off the bike. You've done a cracking job, especially with manual focus. I wouldn't have even thought about trying these kind of shots, but you've pulled it off brilliantly.

first attempt at macro
Hopefully I can take it easier on my next body. I think that too... less beer, more exercise, no kneeling in the mud. I wonder if the titanium in my knee will affect the trade in value... :D Kris, it's not about a beer. I remember that when I was a student I could drink beer, eat large pizzas, drin...

night shot
Erm... what have you done to the sky? It is clipped and then you have very odd halos arround the lights with very distinctive edges. Bring the light polluted sky back as it is sorely missing.

York
Had to go to a meeting in York so went a couple of hours early. These three photos are all with the SMC-K 135 f/2.5 Window near the minster Constantine the Great. Unfortunately the focus is a little off. The brooch on his shoulder is sharp. Must get a katz-eye screen! The st...
