Sigma 105mm Macro Photos
Jack Glad to see you're getting good use out of it. I did warn you though - it's a hard beast to master, but absolutely superb when it clicks! (or was that someone else:?:) As for these shots, the first is best for me. 2nd and 4th I don't think you've nailed the focus - I always found I neede...

First shot with new (scary!) camera and lights!
Erm..where is the constructive critisism in all this?! Sorry Sarah :D Back to C&C.... I like the framing and the natural expression you have captured but I'm not quite sure about the pose. I agree with Barry that it looks a little dark but then I've not ventured into the studio either :)

First shot with new (scary!) camera and lights!
I think if the background was very dark/black then the current lighting would look good - the bridge of the nose does have a small amount of shine but you have got a decent catchlight in both eyes. A little too much space above the head for me but that is a subjective opinion. Technically speaking t...

Need A Camera
It depends what prices he was asking - that looks like the stall of a dealer to me so I don't know if you'd have got any bargains... :? I spy a Zenit with what looks like an Industar 50 on the front (I always buy any M42 kit), a brown case with "Voigtlander" on it (likewise, anything Voigtlander,...

Need A Camera
I'd certainly be interested in prices, and if you could have a rummage for any German/Russian stuff I may have missed that would also be appreciated. :) I too spotted a lot of Kodak stuff but it holds no interest for me and has little value in general (there are exceptions - a Boy Scout Vest Pock...

Bird bath pics
That looks like fun! :) I'm sure you are aware of the focus issues, but looks like a lot of potential there! I like the bedraggled yellow one best :D

I like the yellow one (all images are now displayed) shame they are all out of focus James

Bird bath pics
Focusing was the main reason I ran this test. I locked the focus on the far edge of the birdbath thinking that would be the best compromise as any bird perched there would be facing the camera. I did not allow auto focus for two reasons, the noise would frighten the birds and secondly I had no way o...

Bird bath pics
I was going to ask about DOF :) Sounds like you are on the case, but it might be worth snapping a few test shots first, and just check you have both the front and back of the bath in focus. Moving the lens further way might help a bit.

Ken, I agree, will shoot from much lower down next time but I do want to see the surface of the water. And Tim for you I'll float a rubber duck in the centre of the bath and run some focus tests on it. :):) Moving away is not an option, I'm already wasting too many pixels having to cater for not ...

Property For Sale...
Some friends in Spain invited us over for a week a year or so ago. The front of their house in Loja looked splendid. But this was the back. Dennis says he's "working on it". Al

Hmm I prefer the focus on the spaghetti, but it's made your blur a bit less interesting. You need a longer kitchen worktop :)

Evening at Northumbria University
Tonight I went looking for pictures for Ralf's fortnightly competition on the theme of slow shutter speeds. I failed but I came back with some others. Here's a couple of samples. The first is inside the East Campus atrium at Newcastle's Northumbria University, the second a light on the bridge over t...

A Handful from the Park
Great set Mat! Beautful colours and great focus in all of them. I like the 2nd squirrel shot the best, fantastic capture :)

first Kx pics
I don't have a K-x but I would expect sharper images on my k200 with the 18-55 even if they turned out too dark. Maybe some things to check: Is the shake reduction turned on. Are you allowing enough time for the auto focus to lock on (does the K-x show focus confirmation) Check what AF mode the c...

first Kx pics
I have no idea of your level of knowledge so please forgive me if the following is teaching my grandmother to suck eggs! :wink: Generally the higher the ISO the 'worse' the image quality. 1600 ISO is quite high, and although the K-x is great at high ISOs, it is not perfect, and you will notice a ...

Beach runway
Hi Ken, perhaps a little lightening of the shadows (bottom right). Nice colours and viewpoint at the side. Directly from behind focus would be a challenge. Might not quite be the shot you were after but it`s always worth going for a take. Cedric
