Happy World Pentax Day
Well, all bar one, but then, I did only throw it in as a joke :twisted::twisted: as it was what I had spent all day working on :roll: Yours is still better then my disaster though :? Is the car back on his feet again, or still things you need to do?

Happy World Pentax Day
Losing the plot is always fun but Dr Mhuni has us back on track with a good shot. I'd have cropped the trees at the top off but that's my very black and white approach to things. Here I'm taking a picture of a wall so those trees can shove off! Mike

I find it always hard to use text in a photo, it draws the attention a lot and can't help but do the same with your first photo and therefore it doesn't work for me. Maybe if you could throw the stone in the background more out of focus then it might have worked but I believe you already used the l...

Hmm that's a sort of PP that I very rarely use. I do not wear a hair shirt but if I want something out of focus then I should do that in camera. Not saying others should avoid PP blur but for me I see it as a failure and I don't want to use it! Also I did try it and it looked fairly OK but still I t...

Both are nice, but I prefer the #1. And I really like it as it is. Stefan's right, the text brings my attention, but in a positive way - as just after quick reading names and dates I focus on the primary subject - which meaning is integral with the stone (if you see what I mean). Now the flowers in ...

Robert Mapplethorpe Exhibition
Didn't take them Paul, 1, the wife said no way, and 2, didn't want to infringe any copyright, sorry, Jack. But I could go back it was free entrance.

Blooming hell!
I agree with George and mikew, No.1 for me and I would try and clone out the stem in the top L/H corner. Its against a white back ground so it shouldn't be too hard. The blue tint that No.2 has just doesn't work for me, it feels a little cold, a different tint may have worked better maybe. ...

An image of london when looking down from the plane
I took the picture on my flight back to Heathrow. Clouds covered the earth during most of my journey but the city broke out of the clouds when the plane was descending. It was quite dark outside, 1/15, f2.8 ISO 800, that's the best I could do.:) The view was magnificent but I couldn't capture it...

At last I got to take some pics
Hi All, After a relatively long period of inactivity I finally managed to get out this weekend and fire shome shots off. I tried some landscapes which didn't turn out too well (see other thread) so to cheer myself up I went back to trying some macros. it was a bit windy and below is the pick ...

1st try at landscapes
Great first attempts. What the first image is lacking is something in the foreground. It would have been cracking if you had managed to get lower and down into the grass giving the eye something to lead us into the picture. Then you would have had something in the foreground, middle and backgroun...

1st try at landscapes
Thanks for the feedback everyone, PeterMac - I was trying to use the yellow flowers to lead the eye in, I will try getting closer next time. GrahamWalton - Good advice, thanks. I didn't think of that when I was composing my shot, I was concentrating on the clouds and the hill / trees. I guess...

My Pet Snake
This is Woody my 10 year old Corn Snake. K100D + Soligor I/S 200mm f2.8. Hand Held at f2.8 1/125sec and ISO3200 The lens was attached to my K100D via a Nikon AI-PK adapter with optics removed and consequently no infinity focus. I did this to try out the lens with my K100D. C&C welcome...

Recently Aquired Panagor 90mm f2.8 Macro
Both very nice but the first one is the winner for me. Just the colours and the part going softly out of focus makes it a better photo.

Scops Owl
I posted a (slighly modified(!)) picture of a small scops owl on the gallery yesterday. Thought I would post the original here, along with one or two others as (to my mind) it was a very photogenic bird!! :) They were taken a little while back all with K10D and Sigma 70-300m...

Scops Owl
Thanks everyone for the comments - you're right there is a green cast. I took the pictures a little while ago and wasn't sure how to fix it - I think it stems from the leaves rather than anything that has confused the camera. The owl was in a hole in a tree and the whole area was enclosed by a canop...

Pics with a Raynoc DCR250
Don't be sorry, Mr Mellow, if you don't like them, you don't like them. :wink: I don't quite agree about them not being sharp or in focus at all though. A characteristic - good or bad - of the Raynox250 is that it has an extremely narrow DOF. And I think that there is a focus point in every picture ...

Pics with a Raynoc DCR250
I bought one a while back and must admit I havent played with it much but I rather like the "dreamy" quality it seems to give on flowers. These were taken with it on a Pentax F 50mm f1.7. As you say, the DOF is very small.
