Thanks. I was just being cheeky with my second post :twisted: I have already decided to go back early morning, rather than early evening so the sun will be behind me. What type of monitor do you have? I can see the grainy effect in the first one looking on my work monitor, but couldn't on my h...

DA12-24 examples (3img)
hi folks, just wanted to drop by and post a few pics after trying out my new-ish 12-24 recently - I think I like it :-) Mininal pp-ing, just a but of exposure tweaking and resize for web. Some still need further tweaks - cropping and removing shadows etc cheers wind died down near end of t...

The backdrop is just a black sand bag (flash stand weight) bent up at the back, with the Metz on the left fired remotely (radio) through white tissue and a piece of white A4 on the right. The black came out pretty black with just a hint of red reflected at the bottom which I quite liked so I left it...

Fiona on honeymoon!
Well, you are all definately right, it is one we will never forget! Thankfully after 4 or 5 different consultants decided to re manipulate the ankle and recast it, surgery was thankfully avoided. So good news again! Having been put under to redo the ankle, Fiona needed somebody with her for 48...

I shot Bambi today ...

Pentax-F 1.7X AF ADAPTER with DA*300
Shim I wish these were in my backgarden :), but nope, they were taken at a nature reserve, just came back from there. Uplpoading a couple more, I just cant manage to get the best out of photoshop, but I will still try. I think these is the fist batch I feel I have managed to just about get the idea...

Fence to the rescue
The sunset had seemed to fizzle out as the horizon was far too hazy. I was on the way back to the car when the colour in the sky became intense, so quickly looked around for some foreground interest. Fence to the rescue ! The ambient light was quite dim by now & I was rushing to compose the shots so...

Fence to the rescue
Ken, I haven't had it long but my initial thoughts are very favourable. It handles very nicely on the K20d. Autofocus is very positive & accurate. Manual focus, whilst not the smoothest is again very positive & has enough throw to make small adjustments. Finish is standard Sigma EX (matt finish wit...

Having a go at postprocessing again, help needed
I like them both Amin. I like the first because of the nice bokeh at the bottom and strangely the second because it's sharp all over and unusual for digital the reds have come up good and blend in with the yellow without looking too loud, which is the usual problem with yellow and red. I presume ...

Tulip for me too, though the exposure on the Orchid is spot on I think the point of focus is wrong.

Spider, where would you put the focus instead?

Spider, where would you put the focus instead I dont know:oops: I said "I think" the point of focus is wrong:P Flowers like this are a pain, I think I'd have aimed for the Stamen (if its still called a Stamen on an Orchid) that knobbly white bit in the centre, I think the image is a little on the...

Amin... a background tip: keep them well back from the thing you are photographing so that you don't pick up the texture of the paper. That 100mm macro is as sharp as a tack! One last thing: the tulip photo is lovely. I think you can stop apologising for being a newbie now! Best wishes, Kr...

Just a few from my recent mini break, and for a change the weather was nice:D C&C always welcome. The pic that everyone takes, Lindisfarne Castle. I tried to be creative with the mooring ring in the lower left corner but couldn't get into a position to get the castle in the top right as well so i...

More pics with Pentax-F 1.7X AF ADAPTER with DA*300
All shots taken today were with the adapter. With my limited experience I can quite comfortably say it does a great job at far off subjects. I have a couple of images taken with the subjects as far as at least 200 ft, and this is a very conservative distance as I think they were further away from 2...

More pics with Pentax-F 1.7X AF ADAPTER with DA*300
Amazing shots Amin, the one with the feet out of focus is probably just not enough DOF, the beak and face are really sharp. If you look again at Mark Cassino's he does mention that the converter works better with shorter lenses and pre-focus is sometimes needed, also bear in mind that your focu...
