Alternative curve
Tim, I tried to make a shot of the curvatures rather than the phone, so the keypad is left in the dark and only adumbrated (don't know if that is the right word, I looked it up and liked it so much :)). I tried to use the light from the two flashes not only to emphasize the banana shape of the ...

Composition?
It was Mrs Oggy's birthday in the week and I got her some flowers which struck me as rather colourful. I tried to get the colours, but I'm not sure about the picture. Maybe it's the left side in focus and the right side not. Any thoughts?

Composition?
I'm sorry Oggy, I think the flash has killed it :( For composition I would have placed the flower more to the left since the leaves don't add a thing and it would place the focus point (1/3th) on the flower.

foreground and background
I got these two shots in the college today. Surprise to see this flower is still blossoming, so I'd like to share with you. I have one shot focusing on the foreground(the flower),like this I am not sure how to improve the image, probably a better weather?:D But I don't know how to get the 'c...

A few from the Elan Valley
I haven't tried post-production on any of these apart from nudging the brightness up a touch before printing the ones I wanted to keep. I might go back with a slightly longer lens and see if I can avoid the branch problem, as I doubt it could be removed electronically. There seem to be an awful ...

After the parade
That's great, some good ideas there. It is one photo and heavily cropped. The crop was to use it on a white background for a small poster. I selected the poppies and then made a new layer via copy with just the poppies on and then made the background layer black and white. TBH I was walking th...

Late night, larking about
I'll try and remember to give it a try this weekend, but with my not-huge living room I'm not sure if I can get far enough away to use that lens. Not only is it 85mm vs 50mm, but the close focus distance of the 50mm Tak was a lot further away than some other 50s (e.g. it is about double the dist...

Late night, larking about
Yes, they were Pentax lenses from the 60s and 70s (?) back when they were called Asahi Pentax. M42 screw mounts, all manual focus. Many of them are of outstanding optical quality, easily as good as modern lenses. Do note however that in the 80s Pentax revived the Takumar name, but put it on some ...

Some fishy beach pics
Nice to be back after a busy month to take a good look at the work of others. This is an impressive set of fisheye shots but I can’t help wondering if I would have liked them more taken at 24mm. ’Course did not see the original scene so it is possible that the lens has added loads to the shot and wa...

lynx spider
Although me and spiders are not best friends I love this image, really sharp, the eyes really hit you and stand out :wink: Did you alter the colours / saturation as there is an area of brightness on its back that is slightly blown out ? Not knocking it as its a lovely shot 8) a bit of sharpening ...

Night (evening) at the Museum
Great series, Mat, well worth going back there again. I do like the detail in the last one, the mood of the first one. But I'm totally blown away by the second. Wow, great shot of a great statue. Prieni

Night (evening) at the Museum
Thanks folks:) - they are all hand-held although I had to really work hard to keep them sharp. In particular the second one I took about four times checking between on the camera screen to see how sharp each attempt was! I was also concerned about depth of focus as I was using a wide aperture, but r...

Good to see a K-m in action
Thanks for the comments Steve and Tim :) Yes the view is pretty spectacular, worth a visit if you are ever holidaying there. Gourdon is about 600-700 metres above see level but not that far from the coast. Nice can be seen to the top left hand side of the frame (roughly east). Tim, yes that ba...

Good to see a K-m in action
Along the same theme, here are a couple of Panoramas of the view that my daughters were photographing. Both of these are stitched with Microsoft ICE, the second is made up of five portraits. Both are handheld, locked exposure & manual focus. Again C&C welcome :)

Surfing Sigma EX 100-300 F4
Don't like the toned colours myself but I do like the actual shot though. What the colour original version like :?: Did you tell him he was holding his board the wrong way around :lol: Thanks Gareth, I'll post a link to the original when I can upload it. I carry my board wax-side out, as do mos...
