Pigeon Posing in front of 80-320mm
It may be that you had a poor example. The one I have was new when I bought it and it's been fine. I haven't done any critical comparisons with other lenses at the longest end, but there are no dramatic danger signals. I'll report back when I've used it some more. It's only relatively recently th...

Pigeon Posing in front of 80-320mm
Thanks JR - valid point - maybe I do need to consider a more substantial tripod - or even monopod. On my moon shots I can get the craters near the circumference into focus but the centre tends to turn to mush? Maybe I am pushing it too far. I am not complaining since I am still learning how to us...

Is this good?
I would have filled the frame with more of the image that was in focus, or selected more DOF. The out of focus parts of the image are a little distractin' for me. Its quite a strikin' photo though.

Interesting shot. My first question is why is there no background? I would have thought a portrait like this would include some of the surrounding area to put it into context? At least then the photo would tell a fuller story I guess. Also, the popper is a little distracting for me too, and his eyes...

[quote:3496ace15f="Mike-P"] Avatar : Not disagreeable to me in the slightest, it seems to be aimed more at the UK government than anything else anyway.

the moderators are on his side. For a start, this is totally untrue. The moderators are on no side, we just moderate. Sometimes it's liked, sometimes not, but we do at least have all the information, not just some of it. Now I'm back in I'm looking into all this and we'll see where we go shortl...

You are wasting your time, Mr. Abbott, disregards other peoples feelings as irrelevant to his ends and the moderators are on his side. I've had enough of his postings that don't actually invite C&C, but just C(omments) and only positive back slapping ones at that. He doesn't take the C(riticism) ...

So Mike, your sayin' some contrastin' light in this image is distractin', OK. I don't find it distractin' at all, yes my eyes go to the light areas but they never wander out of frame and always come back to the red coat. In regard to the event, its takin' place this evenin' in the Albert Hall an...

Egyptian Geese
Matt Thanks for posting, I don't think I have seen an Egyptian goose before. As a record they are nice pictures, but if I can be critical: 1. Would have been a great shot if you had got some seperation between the subject and the other goose. 2+4. Would have been better with both birds in ...

2 Lice are twice as nice
I'm pleased that this thread has provoked such interest. Thanks for the comments. Thanks for the quote George, I was one of the ignorant ones, but that's funny thinking of Burns watching a louse wandering around on the back of a lady's perfectly made up head. I wonder what people make of the fa...

Nice photos. They may be aliens, but they are photographic. Do you mean photogenic? If so, I'd agree. But I find that squirrels aren't that easy to get really good pictures of, for some reason. They jump about, spoiling the composition, and making it hard to focus. These pictures tell a sto...

Apart from the focus (which I know has been mentioned so I won't dwell on it), this is an excellent set of shots, they really tell a cheeky story! Will really look forward to Cheeky Squirrel mkII! Fiona

Nice photos. They may be aliens, but they are photographic. Do you mean photogenic? Maybe.....:oops: lol Moving swiftly on and going back to the squirrels, one tip I would give is use some smaller bird deed rather than peanuts. In my experience they run off with peanuts to go bury or eat them...

A bit late for Halloween
Stunning drops Amin, (welcome back mate) The last is my favourite, worth a bob or two 3 foot wide on a coffee shop wall?

A bit late for Halloween
In the first one I see a hooded angry man giving a good right hook with steam coming out of his ears! Should I book an appointment to see the men in the white coats? It's good to see you back Amin, especially now that you're on the coffee instead of the wine and weird coloured spirits you've been...

Thanks everyone :). As you can see although not owning a Pentax DSLR at the moment I can still bring up shots with it :lol:. Told you before, I am a Pentaxian at heart :). In the first one I see a hooded angry man giving a good right hook with steam coming out of his ears! Should I book an appoi...

Fiona, the more I look at these images the more I find the number 2 as being absolutely stunning. You know that feeling that you want to look at an image, absorb it from different angles and know that there are more things that you want to let it sink within you because there is a lot more that the...
