Spider Photos Feedback
A very good series, well done. To get more of the spider in focus you'll need a smaller aperture and some extra light. A macro ring light can be expensive but there are cheaper options.

Hi Simon, I like them all, agree with all a both. Try to use a monopod when possible, will help a bit with the focus (and tired arms), mostly I hand held the camera, but when they sit still long enough I use a monopod. One more thing try to control your breathing. Keep it up

Ships That....
I see no ships . . You've got your telescope up to the wrong eye. :-) It's a container ship, so the big lump in the middle of the frame is the back end of the ship, with funnel and accommodation. Perhaps you were thinking more along the lines of tall ships? Dan

First serious HDR attempt
The problem with most HDR pictures is that it's so obvious they are HDR I understand your point George, I'm not keen on overcooked HDR myself and I ran through the process again to see where I went wrong (if indeed I did). The software has several sliders that can be adjusted after merging the im...

First split raw conversion
Hi Peter, What would you suggest as an aperture size? Colin I would think f8-f11 and focus on the lamp on the right or a bit closer. You should then have all the foreground in crisp focus. Impossible to do without a tripod of course, and I agree not convenient to have one with you all the time...

First split raw conversion
I see you used ISO200 for the picture - if you upped that to, say, 800 (at which point I think the K10D is still just about producing shots where the noise isn't too noticeable or oppressive) then you'd have an extra two stops of light to play with. Use one of them on the shutter speed to bring it u...

That hurts, Darlene! You know, I spend 1 hour to get to the location in time, waited another hour for the riders to pass, then had 2*20 seconds to get my shots. Before going back again. And now I learn I would be better of without the riders. :( Back to work then! Thx

Is it me or is the focus wrong on the first :?:? Looks to me like the car is in focus, not the cyclists :?

Is it me or is the focus wrong on the first :?:? Looks to me like the car is in focus, not the cyclists :? It looks the same way to me. But would that be wrong, I wonder. I do like the fact that these landscape photos got something different through the cyclists. Both would have been nice with...

Here is the original for George to watch until I pull it again: Without the cyclists it would be just a road with some trees? I could perhaps wait a couple of hours for a dear to pass... I am not sure what went wrong with the focus. I intended it to be on the cylists but I agree the focus...

Kestrel and Harris Hawk pictures
Unfortunately I would agree with George. Nice backgrounds but the bird seems a little soft in all of them. The 2nd one is my favorite, it's just a pity the beak isn't in focus along with the eye.

Shaggy Mane Mushooms at sunrise
Looking at the picture some water droplets seem sharper than the mushroom - is that the case if you look at the original? If so have you tested for back/front focus issues? Mike

Shaggy Mane Mushooms at sunrise
It's not much effort to test for front and back focus if you download the test chart. I'm glad I did it as even lenses I thought performed well improved and one lens that was pretty much unusable became very good. As for the suggestion made by Gareth that PP can make a blurred photograph sharp - ...

Another HDR
For me I find that the (cliff?) in the background detracts too much from the subject. It's also a shot I would'nt immediately say suits HDR treatment. Generally in my experience HDR works best on pure landscape type shots where you can bring in blown out exposures in the sky and reveal the hidde...
