Night shot (alternative entry)
Here is what would have been my alternative entry. Taken from about the same position as the one I submitted but this one was taken with the Sigma 70-300. The red/white/red light trails are from a dredger that was working in the harbour entrance to get the waterway back to design depth (the sa...

Opps! Pardon me - (Geese)
Yes it is, I got side tracked on my way back from the Boston docks where I had gone to do a shoot - I can't seem to keep away from birds these days.

shim i have tried a set of photos from -10 all the way to +10 on the k20 focus adjustment just using 5 stagered batteries, and found that the focus adjustment does nothing really noticable to me, maybe im doing something wrong, but maybe i was very lucky to get a very sharp 170-500mm lens which im ...

Although I havent bothered with a K20D yet I would have thought there would have been more of a difference when doing the focus adjustment. As for the birdies, very nice and I would be more than happy with the first one but I must admit I have seen sharper from you.

Scott, these images look sharp to me. You got to give it a bit of time, I notice those birds you put up again on the thread shot with your previous lens are definitely extremely sharp, but light of the day, distance, circumstances might not have been the same, and a few more tries and you might f...

This one really speaks, great photo, DOF could be a bit deeper to get beard in focus, but it is not a big problem anyway.

Hi Richard, I like nr. 1 and 3 the most. Nr. 1 could use a bit work on the highlights(towers) and shadows(gate) to balance the shot a bit. But it is difficult with such a large contrast range. It is manageable in PP. Nr.3 shows the greatness of the church. It just needs more space to breat...

Magpie
Not had a lot of success with the birds lately ( dont tell the wife) heres an Australian magpie these things will openly attack you, safest way to ride a bike is put your sunglasses on the back of your head as they go for the eyes.

Spring at Boscobel House
Its a decent enough subject but i get the impression from it that its lacking focus in that you seemed unsure what you really wanted to focus on. Did you do any Sharpening in PP? Possible improvements might have been stand further back and to the left thus separating the tree and the house but its...

Chris with New 50mm f1.4 FA..Does it look OK?
The only criticism I could offer if I were to nit pick is that the plane of focus seems to be somewhat in front of your subject. That's adjustable on the K20D if it's a real problem rather than 'operator error' :lol: Yes, skin tone is pale but I would expect that if you've had to desaturate the r...

Nice image though. Try to focus critically on the eyes. With any portrait the phrase "the eyes have it" is well worth remembering. So he has an artistic temperament already? 8)

Thanks JudithAnn That was his "im not playing until you take a picture of the little horse look". We saw a Shetland Pony in a field and after we walked about 300 yards past it on the way back to the car he decided he wanted a picture of it, but by that time the pony had walked about another 400 or s...
