Another adventure with the DA*50-135
1 and 5 for me Bob. No1 has definitely got to have a place one the wall, nice tones and composition, I like the way your daughter is looking away from the camera, and the fact that her face is just out of focus makes the shot I think. Great work again Bob.

Amin made me do it ..
After looking at Amins recent water drop shots I was inspired to have a go. Using a very basic set up of a plastic 'Martini' style cocktail glass, Duck tape and my sons milk bottle (with a number 2 teat in) and filling a 4 gb SD card with images, the following are the best of the bunch. All s...

Amin made me do it ..
Hi Paul Nice shots. For your first effort I am very impressed. I remember my first efforts and they were not even worthy of uploading :) although even now I am still trying to improve. First one seems under exposed. Second and third look very good, I am very impressed at how well you have mana...

Drops
Thanks for the more than generous words, Amin. But I think you are still waaaay ahead of me :D When I started I had in mind all the great examples you have shown us. I wanted to create something different, composition wise that is. This shot is the only one out of a long series of blurred, out ...

Drops
Actually looking at it again, I quite like the soft focus on the droplets. The exquisite bowl is sharp enough and because of the compositional twist, the soft droplets are kinda saying, 'I'm not doing the usual thing'. But having said that, I still wanna see a sharp version so back to the 'shed' Ma...

Heavy Metal Chicken
I would very much like to know what people think of this. As you know I am new to this and don't know anything! I really want to know how it could be better, and go easy on the acronyms as I'll only be back asking. f11, iso 400, Pentax 18 - 250mm Cheers, Andy

Water droplets
Love this one - looks like a basketball player giving the thumbs-up! :-D Dan Dan :) I had seen a figure of a bird/cartoon character or something similar in the water, if you look at it turned the other way around, towards the glass, a tall figure, but now reading what you just meantioned it seem...

Fashion Lingerie Shoot
Personally I think the poses are awful...that's me being totally blunt there! I'm trying to single one out to use as an example but they are all weird. Weird as in the model looks very awkward, the poor girl doesn't look comfortable in any of the shots. I would say that the 2nd one is the worst for...

The Staffoedshire Bull Terrier.
I also like to see the dog keen and alert using his ears with the head held in the same plane as his top line or back not looking down or up but straight forward if you can make sence of that. Ian

Flying Legends Practice Day 10/07/09
the first 2 are soft the others are ok, as i found with my 150-500mm i had to have the f stop right up around f10 to produce half decent images at 500mm, my 170-500mm is sharper at f6,3 than the 150-500mm at f12 f14, but hopefully it should be back from sigma soon with my k20 recalobrated, so it sho...

Owl
That's interesting as I'd say keep the post as it offers a boundary for the bird. If the owl were looking to the right then I might agree but in this case I'd leave the post with its nice colours and crop from the left to move the owl to a less central position. A lovely clear shot of an owl, gre...

Red Tail Hawk
Cracking photos this lens works realy well alongside the k20 whats your thoughts on the lens Bob. Ian My thoughts? I'll be here all day! Love the 50-135 a great deal. This was my reaction in the first few days of having the lens: It's certainly been apparent looking at my output that the qu...

Emperor Constantine
I've been to York so many times I just cant get any inspiration anymore so I think you've done quite well, I think isolating the hands was a good idea, I'll have to try it next time I go:D The hand against the sky seems well handled given the strong lighting, is that a bunny rabbit he's doing?:lol: ...

One from the Farne Islands
From the Inner Farne to be exact. More or less straight out of the camera, a bit of cleaning thats all. John Riley was correct when he said that a 55-300 would be enough for close ups of the birds. C&C welcome, so that I can tell my good lady that we need to go back next year. Thank...

One from the Farne Islands
Howard - shoot raw then you get another bite at the sharpening cherry when you import the file or try SilkyPix which offers some very easy and high quality sharpening. You can't be much older than me - no-one seems to be these days - and I came to terms with it and haven't looked back. I started ...
