Trees behind the college
It's a shame there are cars in the first shot... scrolling down to then see them ruined it for me, so it has to be number two. I like the way the line of trees leads you down the path. I'm not too sure about the faded colour though. What did the original look like and have you tried it in black a...

Out for a walk
Like the composition of this shot but am confused by the comment above that it is too fast as the trees and leaves are out of focus, can you explain please, the f stop was 11 so may be increasing that would have given a wider area of focus but I do not understand the suggestion that it was too fast ...

Sorry Nathan - doesn't do it for me either :( My initial impressions are: my eye is drawn to the right green stem first, back to the part of a stem on the left, then to the centre of the flower. From there, it's annoying that the petals have been cropped as I can't see the whole thing! But that'...

Flaming leafs.
Looking outside at the moment I can definitely conclude: Autumn is knocking on the door. Storm, rain and the first signs of changing colour on the trees. It made me think of a picture I took in Denmark, two years ago. By no means it compares to those "Indian Summer" examples we all know about. But s...

Hi Griff, 1st tip, leave room for the subject to enter or leave the frame; looking at the pelican it`s beak is butting right against the edge of frame, it would look much better had it been more to the left. 2nd tip, Sharpness matters, always use the highest shutter speed you can, remember you ...

Hi Mike, To make this idea (notice I say idea, and not picture) work, you have to turn back and basically become the person you refer to on your Flickr posting. Start with some gardening and possibly go lower and let the overgrow work as some sort of natural framing. On a personal note, I am not...

unlucky 13
If the hinge can be removed why not try hinge at the bottom as is and the cork at the top but reversed so it is top right corner. You'll either have the number upside down or write it on the back :) You'll need to shuffle the composition a bit but it might be worth a go. The heavier and darker hinge...

By the way, about the manification, doesn't the Pentax 1.7X adapter do the same job as well? Again you will have to excuse my ignorance on this please, but I have no clue about your setup even though you have just explained. Amin I have no idea either to be honest, I do know that the 1.7x will not ...

So does the Vivitar converter actually reduce the distance a lens can focus down to. e.g 1.5ft for a std. 50mm lens becomes say 0.75ft.

When you first put it on the lens and connect it to the body it works exactly the same as a 2x teleconverter but there is also a focus type ring on it which, when turned reduces the focus distance. Amin, there are 2 types, one with the A connectors which sell for around £60 on Ebay and a non A ty...

fathers day
Thanks and your not kidding, had to rush out and purchase a new flash unit as mine packed up at the hospital. Actually it wasn't your camera needs I was referring to :lol: I was always under the impression though that you shouldn't use flash on new born babies. I think the kids cost more when th...

where I am going wrong You appear to be on the wrong side of the pub door:D:D:D:wink: Another thing where I am floundering where do I focus IMHO for Landscapes like this you need as much DoF as possible so you need to be using at least f16 or smaller, where to actually focus is just a matter of c...

Focus on the pub sign. There are practical benefits to that as well. G

Focus on the pub sign. There are practical benefits to that as well. G LOL I was talking landscape in general not just pubs but they do make an attractive subject shame I no longer partake or whether or not the shots were in focus would not matter much after the first two or three.

If you want everything in focus in a scene, you need to focus on the "hyperfocal distance" - as a "rule of thumb" set a small aperture (say f16) and focus one third of the way into the scene. Choose a point that is one third of the way between the nearest and furthest points you want to have sharp.
