Holiday Pics back from the Lab
A strange experience, picking up holiday pics from the lab - a blact from the past. I used a Pentax P50 borrowed from work while I was on holiday in Cornwall, as my K200 hadn't arrived. I got the pictures processed and put onto disc at Tesco - only £2 if you don't have any prints done! Some of the s...

Sailing round the Isle Of Wight
I like the structure and the 2nd chopper shot. What is the structure? A land defence thing? Also like the way you have captured the distortion under the chopper. Cheers, structure is Hurst Castle: Hurst Castle was one of The Solent's key defenses and dates back to the mid-sixteenth century and...

Beautiful shot Aiki, the sudden change of depth if field, from super sharp to out of focus is what gives the shot the edge, the lightings not half bad either:D The only thing that spoils this is the wierd pixels in the upper left side of the image? they seem to come down towards the centre in a lin...

Very nice shots, love the Pelican. Have the lens myself and am ashamed to say I have used it about 4 times since getting it a few weeks back.

St Cuthbert's Hospice Midnight Walk
I volunteered to help out at this mornings Midnight Walk in Durham, there were over eight hundred ladies taking part.It was a bit of a challenge as the red pattern focus assist projected by the flash was a waste of time. Next year I will leave my Pentax 500ftz & 330ftz at home and just use my Metz ...

St Cuthbert's Hospice Midnight Walk
I thought rabbits slept at night !! Rabbits maybe, but I thought that was when Bunnies were most active :wink::D:D. Good event photos. I am surprised the red pattern focus assist didn't help. I used it this weekend with my 360FGZ and was very impressed with it.

St Cuthbert's Hospice Midnight Walk
Rabbits come out at dusk to feed and that is when they are vulnerable to a marksman with a rifle. I remember a few years ago when I was fishing a marksman was shooting rabbits you would here the crack of the gun being fired then nothing or a sickening thud if the rabbit was hit. Back on topic, I...

Thanks Lance. I have always been more of a prime lens user, but sometimes you cant beat the convenience of a zoom, especially if you are visiting somewhere with non-photographer friends. It was not without some trepidation that I ordered this lens, given the poor review on photozone and other do...

DOF gives it away isn't it Tel :). Yes, the benefit of stacking is I opened up till f/8 and to achieve all that focus on the second one I had to stop down at f/22, and it ruins the DOF. Well spotted :). Gosh I missed doing these macros, good thing I was just walking pass the passion fruit pla...

Thanks everyone for taking the time to comment on the images and help with the id of the bug. Martin, that one was a stacked one from seven images. I was lucky as there was no breeze today in the back garden, otherwise it wouldn't have worked well. Got to get a focusing rail to help me with th...

Peter, that is interesting indeed. The one I have in the garden just grows wildly and a year ago I chopped it right down to the ground because it had overgrown into my neighbour's garden jumping over the fence, and suddenly back in September I realised that although the main branch I cut didn't gro...

It took me several days to disentangle the plant from our lemon tree which in itself was a painful exercise. Lemon trees have some very sharp spikes on their branches, as I'm sure you know. :shock: oh this is bringing back memories Peter and pretty bad ones :D. I forgot to mention that between the ...

As Peter says, this variety (P. caerulea) does not produce edible fruits, no matter where it is planted. It's the only variety hardy throughout the UK. I'm sure you could get away with P. edulis in Spain tho! "Taking note of the name of the seeds" :wink: I wonder if I could get it to grow in a green...
