Snail on a leaf - Re shot.
Yeah I agree. The low angle on the first on was better as it meant more of the leaf was out of focus. As Mhuni said a slightly greater DOF on the original would have had more of the snail in focus but kept most of the leaf out of focus. With the new one everything is in focus, but it's not as entici...

Ella head shot
It's a technically competent photo, the crop is good, focus and DOF are good. The background is nice. But it simply doesn't do much for me I'm afraid. I love dogs, but this just seems like a fairly ordinary photo of a healthy-looking dog. I think it needs a little something extra to raise it up a no...

Alternatively you should look into an HDR shot, but you will need a tripod for that. Actually not any more. Photomatix Pro will align pictures using features in the picture. I use the "Take all the bracketed photos with one push of the shutter button" feature on the K20D to minimise camera movemen...

Well done on getting close enough with a 50mm to capture one of these buggers! Lovely bokeh and great focus on the eyes.

I like the image, the processing seems appropriate. Having said that the grey sky looks a little odd given the sunlight shining on the back of the house. You've also got a couple of sensor spots in the top left.

Me too. When I look back at my photographs In 2007 when I got my K100D I don't cringe because that's what I could do then but I can see where all the help I have received has improved things for me. I have always been encouraged by seeing the results that others can achieve so I can aspire to the...

weevil
Nice capture and the texture of the weevil matches the rock very well, also the background fits in well - excellent picture on a constructive note it perhaps would be improved if the foreground was if focus as well but i appriciate that can be very difficult with macro shots

I think you found an excellent crop for this image. I do think your b&w version is going too far, though, as it doesn't leave any structure in the petals of the two main protagonists. So I would suggest to take the curves (or levels or whatever you used) a little back. Prieni

Ralf is right about taking back the levels. But I didnt have an eye for this myself. :oops: I was so pleased by the overall composition... I really do like the pic. You have done an excellent crop work !!! And the BW is good ! :)

Moon Shot
Nice pictures! I too was tempted by the clear skies tonight, so I took out the 10" dobsonian. Great view of the moon through the eyepiece, but I was unable to achieve focus using the pentax k adaptor, I probably need to buy a barlow to extend the focus. How did you connect your camera Father Ted?

My best shots were prime focus. I did get some with 10mm, 20mm and 40mm lenses, but struggled with focus...I miss my split screen! I've a few more to work through and might have one or two useable ones with the lenses. I also found it best to remove the diagonal..which is why my knees are now ...

There are two ways to do it. Prime Focus (I think) is connecting the telescope directly to the camera. So, in effect, I have a 1000mm lens with an aperture of 100mm. Making it an f10 lens. To do this you need a "T ring" adapter and an extension tube. My tube comes in 3 parts. A short part, which b...

Superb images. I might as well put the 500mm 1:4.5 away now then :( This is the thing. When someone uses a telescope to get pictures as good as this, it spoils the whole "strain at the very limits of sensor / lens / focus / steady tripod / careful post-process" game... ... that we merrily to...

Just looking for Pentax DSLR Moon & astro shots on the forum for reference when testing my K5 and came across yours Ted ...fantastic result there, quality result! Prime focus telescope shots are certainly the way to go and refractors seldom disappoint. A flat field low power barlow lens (1.4X -1.6x...

I'm considering tinkering with an astro-scope for bird photography sometime this year. Over on birdforum.net there is a dedicated forum for photography using astro telescopes and, having seen some of the results on a couple of member galleries, the quality is incredible. I'd go so far to say that ...

Having just come across this thread, I can add to Father Teds comments (of over a year ago) on linking cameras & telescopes. There are apparently three different techniques that can be used: Prime focus with no lens/eyepiece (called negative projection it a barlow is added) Postive projection ...
