Howzat!
Nice shot, but why are the bails flying up in the air when the ball appears to be in front of the wicket? The ball has bounced back after hitting the stumps :? Great shot Danny, Not the cricket shot but the pic :wink: He appears to be using the Adam Gilcrist high handed grip on the bat. :wink: Hi...

Howzat!
Cheers guys! It was definately a good exercise for action shots, and just looking back through them, I only took 9 and 2 were due to a heavy trigger finger! Anticipation and timing are definately the order of the day with action shots I have found, so I won't be too upset if the next Pentax body...

The ball has bounced back after hitting the stumps Ah I see:?:, its just that when I played cricket at school all those years ago the momentum of the ball would drive straight through the wickets knocking them aside, cant remember a ball ever bouncing back off it, unless they were drawn in chalk on ...

Just seen this Lilly (got a few spare hours, so have been roaming the Forum). I actually quite like it, and it's certainly more nocturnal than your eventual entry, though I take MikeW's point about the lack of a natural point of focus.

Nice shots Craig, but as a cat lover I'm easily pleased:D The focus isn't quite right on the first two, I'd have prefered to see both eyes pin sharp, and theyre not:shock: I'm with Peter on this, the third shot is a cracker and makes you paws for a longer look:roll: She's magnificent though...

Photoshoot for C&C - 3 Different setups
1) I normally dont like this sort of lighting on female subjects but this one seems to work OK 2) great shot, I didn't notice the lighting on the nose till Don pointed it out, just shows you dont need eye contact for a good portrait, you just need caterpillars:D:D:D 3) Who shone the flashlight...

DA*60-250mm at IWM Duxford 01/05/09
Thanks Amin, I find with static subjects it's a diamond but moving targets...different story. I took some of this pilot in her aircraft taxing and some were very out of focus so I need some more practice in that respect :?

Another good weekend with the K20D with 18-55MKII and Tamron 70-300
These were all taken on sunday when I went back to my homeland for the day (Saddleworth) to take some pics. Also a good opportunity to get to grips with my new Tamron 70-300. Top 2 are with the 18-55, bottom 2 are with the Tamron 70-300

Another good weekend with the K20D with 18-55MKII and Tamron 70-300
Another point I should raise (back to my preference of the Tamron 70-300 over the Pentax 55-300) is that I appreciate people will also place an emphasis on the fact that with the pentax the barrel (or should I say front element) does'nt rotate; whereas on the tamron it does. For me it does'nt matter...

Another good weekend with the K20D with 18-55MKII and Tamron 70-300
Snootchies, despite being famously unimpressed with the Tamron; having bought the 55-300, I completely agree with you and I now carry both! aarrrggh :evil: I was immediately impressed with the image quality of the Pentax but that is it! in all other respects - focus speed, hunting, close up abili...

Another good weekend with the K20D with 18-55MKII and Tamron 70-300
The manual focus on the Pentax 55-300mm seems odd to me. I initially focus so that it looks right on the screen, but the AF hasn't beeped, so I move it a bit further, it beeps and still looks in focus on the screen. It's as though it has two focus points. I rarely use AF so can't comment on that. ...

Shooting through a fence like that isn't a problem if you can get your lens right up close to it (not touching) and your subject is some distance away from it. The fence will be so out of focus in your image you may not even notice it. If you do, you can crop the image to remove it.

The second one's my favourite here - good composition and great colours. I think the focus is slightly off in the third though :?

My Old Photos
Also #3 but #5 is also pretty nice, the lgihts fall on the crowd pretty well and since you have some shadows in the back you've some flow in it. Your eyes go around the "house/well" and follow the light to that back, pretty need.

Down to Earth
It was great to see all the kids taking an interest in nature and photography. It's always a pleasure to watch them have a go at it, they have a differend view on things and the results are most of the time quite surprising. The photos look pretty good some have a framing and/or focus problems bu...

Old argicultural machine
Father I'd say the sky is the real problem here as it's blown out and rather featureless so that less of it is going to help. The ploughed earth makes a nice vanishing point I think it's called but I may well be wrong. However, I'd say that the top right area is a bit pointless and that had you shot...

Old argicultural machine
Also the whole image seems to lack sharpness. I'm never good at telling about these things but is a bit oversharpened in the grass? Mike I dunno...I can't win :wink: I'll try some playing. I think all I did with this one was to sharpen it up and improve contrast. I'll go back to the origina...
