By way of a change
The bird looks a bit dark to me (on my poor work monitor), perhaps a bit of selective lightening of the subject ? I agree, the picture is a tad dark and I have a feeling that the bird is slightly out of focus although this is hard to tell as the bird is dark. I really love this part of the countr...

Red Kites at Rhayader
Shame you had only 300mm, I mean you wouldn't have to crop if you had 500mm...:P:D Serously though fantatic, jealousy inducing shots :) I like 5 best with the Out of focus kite in the background

Red Kites at Rhayader
Shame you had only 300mm, I mean you wouldn't have to crop if you had 500mm...:P:D But the chances of actually getting the things in frame would have been greatly reduced! :-) I like 5 best with the Out of focus kite in the background Funnily enough, that's my favourite too. I was wondering if ...

Water water everywhere...
Very nice:!: I like the contrast of the withe water and the background and how it comes back in the drops.

Fake cow and caravan
I'm not arguing that the shot isn't better with the cow but why is it there? It was a tiny caravan - I never thought about the tow hitch but it quite possibly came on the back of a flat bed and wasn't fitted. (Dare I mention that they had an NL roundel on the rear but a UK plate) Mike

Flower Macros
I decided I needed to cheer mysef up after a particularly unsuccessful stint with the 50mm lens and so went back to my Sigma 105mm Macro. I like these they are different to my usual insects. The 2 Lillies were taken last night after arain shower and the passion flower this morning :?

An important Milestone (and some pics to show you)
Well guys, it's been exactly a year today since I first owned a DSLR. I knew nothing about lenses, crop factors, HDR, aperture and everything else - but I knew I wanted a better camera. Well what a year I've had, I'm actually now on my third DSLR! And out of sheer luck I started with the Pent...

Petunia close up
Been fiddling with the close focus function of the DA 18-55 MK II. I still like the way it renders reds. F13 at 1/40 sec. was as far as I dared to go, given the small breeze that was occasionally moving the flower. Martin.

Playing with water again
Very good shots Amin, No3 for me, love the green and the sharp focus on the crown. The first two have too much motion blur for me and the whilst the fourth has amazing clarity in the droplet I find the ripples at the bottom little distracting. Regards PaulM

Goodwood - Sculpture
Personally I like number 3. Nice sky... ohh look, a car! No 5 is good too. Not keen on 6 with the greyer sky and the out of focus/moving flag. Best wishes, Kris.

Silverstone - Renault world series
Thanks for the pointers. Had a good day and hopefully learnt a bit more about my camera. Have used noise reduction on some of them but did so out of habit more than anything. (trying to view pics and entertain kids at the same time just doesn't work!) I'm not 100% happy with the mono ones mys...

More water play but with wine glasses
Amin, I think you need to get yourself a hot-shoe mounted spirit level, I detect a definite lean in your pics. ;-) A sheet of white paper from your local art shop, preferably A2 size, would be good as a background, I use that whenever I'm doing shots for ebay or any general product shots. Just a...

More water play but with wine glasses
I can't open that link, I am a member but is the fact that I became a member in Dec 2008 only the reason why I can't open that issue online? A bit confused here now, thought I could access that, well, anyway seems that I can't. Thanks anyway Gwyn Think there's only one or two issues that are actuall...

Sunspot 1024
Between the clouds and wind, it was tough holding focus. Karl, I do strange photos now and again. But not eggs, I eat those. :)

Another adventure with the DA*50-135
I really like Nr.5. But as a suggestion...... I would have cloned away the In-focus branch in the top right corner (it stands out to much) and desaturated the girls shirt. Only leaving her hair and trousers with a hint of colour. I think the picture will be more balanced that way. Martin.

Another adventure with the DA*50-135
I really like the composition and the mood of no1, it looks great in B&W its only negative comment is that the eyes and or face is not in focus a bit more. The tweaked version of no3 is the best i think, and I like the hoverfly shot. The butterfly doesn't work for me in that style, I think it...

Another adventure with the DA*50-135
They look pretty good to me. The No 3 looks stunning to me with the back light and the hair with that bit of lighting around shining at it. But I would have preferred still if eyes were in focus. Did you do it purposely that way or you missed the focus? The one walking away that you have re-edited ...

Another adventure with the DA*50-135
Cheers guys! It's funny Paul - I thought exactly the same thing with regards to the butterfly about 10 mins ago, to add a red hue, i'll have to give that a bash. The background of that shot was not forced to be blurry in PP - I was shooting at f2.8 for all of these (I love the fact that this lens...

Great set of images Bob. Love the 'new' version of number 5 and like the focus and effect of no.3. As for the hoverfly... it's superb, cracking shot! :D ali
