New K20D with new sigma 105mm macro lens
Paul, Just to clear up the confusion. I did take both photos myself. However, Amin posted one of his photos of a Dragonfly on the gallery after I posted my of the Banded Damonsel. As Amin's seemed closer and more detailed then mine despite being taken with a macro lens, I sent Amin a PM asking if...

Screw It
well Actually a white pointer was sighted off St Ives a couple of years back by a fisherman and his son and was caught on film so it may not be an impossibilty, :shock::shock:

ePhotozine Challenge
With a tad more saturation'contrast it could have been a different image:wink: When shooting flowers try to get the forground in focus instead of the middle of the flower use a decent aperture so more of the flower will be in focus.:) Macro photography is initially really hard to do but keep p...

Personally I think it was taken to close, as you say that this is how it has come from the camera. What I tend to do is shoot it like a normal portrait then crop in when you do the editing. Sometimes you can get 2-3, maybe more, shots from one image. C&C ~ Shoot further back, crop later ~ Imag...

X70 Macro Test
I wanted to try out how the macro facility works on the X70, so I took this photo of the blue bristles on a small brush (as in a dustpan and brush) that was one of the few things in the garden not blowing around in the wind. 1/30 sec f 7.1 :!: I have not worked out whether it is better t...

Pensthorpe - as used by BBC springwatch
Love the first Crane shot. :) I visited Pensthorpe a few months ago, it's a great place for a day out and I'll be going back again - highly recommended for anyone interested in some good bird shots.

Black bear
We visited Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic National Park, Washington. We had not seen a bear during our trip but on the way up to the ridge I had kept the Bigma on the camera, just in case. But all we did was photograph the scenery, so I had to keep changing lenses. In the end I left the 17-70 on the...

Welsh Garden
Here's a few shots of various wildlife in a Welsh country garden. A slightly different light/angle: A bit more subdued: All were taken on a K20D with Super Multi Coated Takumar 85mm/1.8, mostly round about f8 towards the...

Welsh Garden
Hey, these are great :) 1, 5 and 8 are the best for me. The focus in 1 in spot on, and the toad is so dry and crusty it looks positively prehistoric. Really cool 8) I love the sharpness of the flower and bee in number 5, nice bokeh too. And obviously a bee sticking its butt in the air is always good...

The wonderful world of Tenerife
Gwyn, I understand that the indigenous people of La Palma were only ever able to see the snow capped peak of Mount Teide in the distance so they called it White Mountain (tiner=mountain; ife=white)!! We are going back to TFS in September this year and planning a few days on La Gomera then a week...

You have confused me. Surely you cannot make a permanent change to the raw file? I use Silkypix raw converter and yes when I open a previously worked on raw file it loads with the previous settings I used (WB;exp;contrast etc), but one click on the "default" button removes all my settings and allows...

I agree also. I've recently revisited some of my earlier RAW images taken with my K100D nearly a year ago because I feel I'm more experienced with the PP side of things now; and I'm better at getting the look I want if perhaps I did'nt manage it on the day. I'm much more happier with some of...

DA*50-135 photos for Bob
Bob wanted some flower photos taken with the DA*50-135 so here are two the rest are all very close focus also so included them too. C&C is of course very welcome, but I only PP the first one and the rest is straight out of lightroom. Non of them are cropped. K10D + DA*50-135 #1 Closest foc...

DA*50-135 photos for Bob
I think it might be to do with the closest focus at 135mmm... might also be different with front & back out-of-focus areas ;) I haven't yet found bokeh like that :? Normally the bokeh from this beast is the deliciously smooth bokeh you get from lenses like the 50/1.4 (particularly in portraiture)...

DA*50-135 photos for Bob
You also have it Matt, Less though. The distance of the focus point to the background has a lot to do with it and maybe the close focusing. Your very stunning photo Matt. If you look at the sharp flowers and you look left to it, you see that the grass looks like that. A little glassy like Gr...

Mount St Helens
A couple more from the recent hols. We were at Mount St Helens on the 29th anniversary of her blowing her top. The photos are taken from Johnston Ridge, named after the volcanologist David Johnston, who was camped out on this ridge observing the volcano when it blew. His final words were “Vancouve...
