smoke shapes
Mike try spraying the rose with water first and then smoke it up the way you have been doing. The smoke patterns alter and they shape up slightly differently due to the extra moist. If you manage to get the background and the lighting spot on you are going to have a cracker of a shot :wink: Ke...

Meskel Square, early morning
I’m looking for critique on the image below – positive or negative, but hopefully constructive. I keep changing my mind about it. One time I’ll conclude while it might be evocative the dim light in the foreground prevents it from being a worthwhile photo; then I’ll go back to it and find I really ra...

Standard lens pictures.
Ralf, I think the Mk. 11 18-55 is now the standard "kit" lens. I cannot now recall why they changed it as every review of the Mk. 1 lens was favourable.... "for the price". The Mk.1 that I have needs to be stopped down for sharpness and to avoid vignetting, so I used it on f8 almost exclusively f...

I'm going to start with "those are my trousers and I want them back now!"

End Homelessness Project - #4
This guy was one of the most nicest guys i've ever met. By the time I saw this guy i'd had no change left in my pockets. Before confrontin' him I looked around for a bank, but couldn't find one anywhere near. So I hit a Tesco Express and bought a 'Twirl' and got ten pounds cashback at the till on my...

End Homelessness Project - #4
Hi, Pauly, I've got to say your images are the most impressive I've seen since joining this forum. They're well observed and beautifully executed. They don't tell us much about the state of the nation, though, because many homeless people are a victim of mental problems rather than an uncaring so...

Thank you David, you are right! I will do that. Thanks for the empowerment and that 'pat' on the back.

HELP!
I snapped this in Durham during a quick visit on our way back from Northumbria, I got it with the K10D and the DA 50-135 but think I could have done with a bit more reach, I cant decide if theres a decent image in there or not, cant decide where to crop and not being one for elaborate digital work I...

LOL thanks, glad to see the sense of humour is still out there. Going back out for a couple of days camping, hope nothing lands on the tent.

School Competition photo poll!
Most of these should do well My personal preferance would be for the last shot, the girls eyes are totally black and give the image a certain "evilness" especially when combined with her expression, but that may put off certain judges, especially if theyre not photographers who are just looking f...

School Competition photo poll!
I did not enter the poll. But some thoughts: 1. does not offer much, NO. 2. quite like it. YES. 3. no 2 is better ! 4. out of focus. NO! 5. Not totally sure. Are the eyes in focus??? If not, then NO. Nice girl, but what is message? 6. Ok. If for school comp. At the same time - not clearly ...

School Competition photo poll!
Yes I'm with Martin on this. Her eyes would then be near/on the top-right focus point, making sure she gets your attention. Then try some effects like you've now or an B&W to make it stand out of the rest. If you keep the effect you've now, try to make her eyes better. They are a lovely grey with ...

End Homelessness Now! Project #7
Thanks Mike. I'm always lookin' for analogies and juxtapositions in my photographs. Your photo of the graffitied hammer and real pile of rubble that I saw spoke volumes to me, and is exactly the same thing. I was really fortunate to get this guy skatin' into the image. I saw him comin' befor...

Have a Little Faith In Me
HiAnvh, I'm inclined to the agree with Mike. It's a good effort under the circunstances, without a tripod & with such a long. lens. But! this is a shot that cried out for a tripod & a lower ISO. I also have a K10D & 1600 seems far more than I'll ever need. The image isn't in focus & that is the main...

Stefan - is this the baby at Blijdorp? If so even the keepers didn't realise it was coming until they saw him/her on Friday! You can be forgiven for not having the "right lens"(not so sure about not having a tripod/monopod with you at a zoo though:D). It is a powerful image in spite of it's obvious...

Pentax cameras do not show the extra stops that the 2x teleconverter adds when attached so you lost 2 stops when using it. Yes you're right, I was too quick to answer but you still need to have such a lens, all i had was the 18-250 but that comes to f/5.6 also at 200mm so I wouldn't gain a thing. If...

Sorry to bring back live to this thread. I've redone this shot with today's technology and experience, is it better and do you maybe have any tips to improve it?
