first shot at sunrise comments please
Emma. I can see what you are trying with these pics. I don't think you have succeeded very well. The sunrise is the focal point. There is too much else and I would attempt to crop the views so that the sunrise becomes the point at which you focus on when you look at your pics. I like the firs...

PU Southern Meet 16 Aug 09 Stowe
There were five of us Pentaxians at Stowe yesterday; myself and (from left to right) Fiona, Dan, Vic and Danny. The weather was fantastic and there was plenty to photograph from architecture... ...to landscapes... ...and even wildlife (but before Dan and Danny upload their dr...

juggling liquid drop
Fantastic shots. With this liquid I find my self wondering what it would look like lit from behind! White background instead of black, back lit instead of front. Even two flash, one back lighting and one side lighting on much less power. I think I am getting away with myself here but what abo...

Some of my 365 project
Just had a look through them all, and there are some really nice shots there, and it's a very worthwhile exercise too - something I've never got around to doing. :roll: I should really try to do something along the same lines, or at least do a blog post a day, even if it's with older photos. A...

Chinook Low Pass
Thanks a lot guys. PeteL - It was 1/750th at f8 (ISO 200)... he wasn't hanging about! He was bound for the Kingdom, where I too used to work (back in 2000). pschlute - The M 200 certainly represents the best £63.50 I ever spent! I bought it new in 1986 and have loved it ever since. PR -...

Chinook Low Pass
We frequently get Chinooks in for hot refueling. Unfortunately we are`nt allowed to use Camera`s at our workplace. Last year i was just nipping a few miles down the road from home and for the first time ever i left my Camera behind. What a mistake!!! A couple of dots on the horizon turn...

Tea Berries
I quite like the first shot,I just wondered what aperture you took these at? The top leaf and stem are in focus but the berries are blurred. If you have the opportunity to try again, try a wider aperture or set your focus on the top berry and re-compose the shot. But what do I know ,I'm just find...

Tea Berries
Hi Darlene, An interesting subject, but neither shot works for me I'm afraid. The first one definitely has focus issues, the leaf at the top seems most in focus, and unfortunately that leaf has holes in it which aren't too pleasing to the eye. The second shot also has a bug-eaten leaf which...

South PU Meet 16th August - Stowe Church
I love the bags hanging from the back of the pew - I completely missed that one! Nice lighting :)

South PU Meet 16th August - Stowe Church
I love the bags hanging from the back of the pew - I completely missed that one! Nice lighting :) Me too! I love the fact that 5 people go to the same venue and get largely different shots. And even the ones that are similar are still different. ;-) Thinking of , , and , mainly in regard t...

South PU Meet 16th August - Stowe Church
Thanks for your comments! I love the bags hanging from the back of the pew - I completely missed that one! Nice lighting :) Hefty, funnily enough, it was how the light was falling on them that made them catch my eye. I always tend to look carefully for the little/hidden things that other people m...

South PU Meet 16th August - Landscapes in Portrait!
Thanks for the comments George. I see your point with the last one. Maybe if I'd have got some sheep in the foreground it would have added more depth and interest? I'll have to go back and get them to pose correctly! Fiona

Is this an OK B&W conversion
I think you'll find that a B&W conversion of the latest image will also look alot less flat, just to drag this thread back on topic :)

Is this an OK B&W conversion
This is fascinating. I much prefer the flipped version. Why? Is there something about the Western eye travelling naturally from left to right, which it does when following the cloud from back to front in el flippo? G ETA. Dramatic picture, and the ear of "corn" adds a nice finishing tiouc...

Is this an OK B&W conversion
I understand now, nothing worse than a hunting focus particularly when it seems to start just when you are ready to click. The correct orientation pleases me best as somehow it looks correct the flipped one looks a bit awkward - funny once you have a few comments you look at it again and see your...

Sunflower study
After all my activity with that wheat B&W conversion I think it's only polite to return your favour. Colours are great, focus is great as is the exposure in both photographs so you have every right to be well pleased with that. The composition of the first one seems a bit too central for my taste...

Left to Right or Right to Left?
Daniel. For what it is worth, I was told by a well respected judge that subconsiously, we scan pictures from left to right as we do when reading. We should try to put the main point of focus on the left hand side. We then look at the rest of the photo as we scan through. If we put the main focus...
