Colour at South Stack Lighthouse
Is the lighthouse slightly out of focus? You are being a little unreasonable, I feel. There is enormous DOF in this picture, and it was more important to get the near foreground in good focus than the lighthouse. G

Colour at South Stack Lighthouse
When you return, take a number of shots at different focus points then stack them later. You can get it all in focus. The image shown above seems very dark to me. I'd prefer to see exposure or brightness turned up a bit.

M 100 f4 Macro shots. Hints and tips please.
I'm new to this macro lark. These are some of my better efforts with this lens. I bought it recently for £70 on ebay and I must say the more I use it the more I like it. It is soooo sharp! So far I have only ever used it hand held in natural light and my biggest problem is getting things in focus. ...

M 100 f4 Macro shots. Hints and tips please.
I have just (over the last couple of weeks) tried out some macro work as well - employing exactly the same technique as you (hand held, natural light, fire off a lot of shots), although I have been using the macro setting on my 70-300mm sigma lens. Your results are significantly better than mine! - ...

M 100 f4 Macro shots. Hints and tips please.
I use a monopod. One trick is to prefocus and then just move the camera backwards and forwards until you get the insects eyes in focus. Take plenty of shots and have patience - lots of it :)

these are stunning images Mike. With the exception of that of the public, what happened there? They look very soft. Was it camera sake? Hmm you are getting old Mike, to hold that bigma :) I was trying to be "artistic" Amin, starting with the girl in pink to the far right being in focus then grad...

I was trying to be "artistic" Amin, starting with the girl in pink to the far right being in focus then gradually losing it along the line of people. Obviously I failed miserably :lol: The girl in pink is focused all right and then man in green with the sunglasses raised to his head looking down ...

Butterflies at Whipsnade
Unlocker and I went to Whipsnade Zoo on Sunday (as I slightly mis-judged the opening hours of Ascott House!) And although the place is full of animals, I got carried away with trying to photograph butterflies in the new butterfly garden. As my "thing" is taking macro shots of flowers, I decided to t...

Butterflies at Whipsnade
Well done. It can be both fun and very frustrating running around after butterflies (though not quite as bad as grasshoppers I have to say) :) I think the biggest difficulty with butterflies, apart from chasing them around, is that you have to take great care with the OOF background for best effe...

Butterflies at Whipsnade
Thanks for your comments and advice Jonathan. When I started shooting the butterflies I was using auto focus, but as soon as I half pressed the release I soon realised that manual was better. Not only was my Tamron 90mm slow to focus, it made a hell of a racket doing it and scared the butterflies...

Rolling light
Interesting series. I like the second last one since on the elements are distributed the best although the one above that push the focus more on the building (can't come up with the name :oops:)

Rolling light
can't come up with the name Its a "Folly" Stefan. And yes the last but one is the best of the bunch, though shame on you Ian for letting your eagerness to catch the light distract you from the composition, the Folly is too central and its leaning too, go back and try again:wink:

welland steam rally
Hi Neil, I think the biggest learning point for me is getting the initial composition correct, had lots of shots where i wished i could go back and re-frame an inch or two to the left or right. Still it`s all part of the fun. Davex.

A bit of a 'decay' theme for two days shooting
I've had two days off. Our little one is being looked after by my parents. The wife is sleeping mostly - recovering from two night shifts back to back, and for the first time in a fair while, I've had oodles of time to get snapping. Plus my K20D and 50-135 will be sent off for repair soon, so though...

did it work?
Those halos are due to a very quick and dirty job of masking. It's just to show what is possible with this picture. By no means a PPG submission.:lol: Of course you're missed! In fact I think you should enter the weekly competition by way of penance Hmmmmmm, and give you a chance to get back ...

First attempt at macro. Not quite right.
Good effort. The first one, your focus is just a bit off. It's focused on his shoulders(?) and left his head OOF. But it looks like enough DOF to capture him well, if the focus was shifted a little to the right. The second one the focus is better. Seems you've played with the contrast a bit...

Very nice ems.The only thing that is distracting is out of focus area just above centre. Still a lovely image though:wink:
