Flatlands of Somerset: best in colour or monochrome?
Great version, Gareth. Very brooding and with more imapact: do you think my stuff lacks contrast? To answer your question I'd have certainly used f8, with my collection of dodgy manual focus lenses, I don't take chances with either aperture extreme, unless of course, the light gets really bad or...

Flatlands of Somerset: best in colour or monochrome?
Thanks Huw, The great thing about this part of the Forum is the way it makes you look at your pictures and see things differently. (I hope I don't overuse the facility!) People are so objective, knowledgable and supportive in their advice. I know this is not a great landscape, but here's the c...

Gnome army
Couple of quickie shots (one hand holding toddler, one hand holding camera!) from the local garden centre while on a wellie buying mission: Hat Army Lining Up I found these to be quite difficult targets for one-handed AF shooting and missed my intended focus on both shots, so had to c...

Gnome army
Thanks Andrew, these were both with my usual walkabout lens (Tamron 17-50). I'm going to go back someday with something faster!

Gnome army
These are great!! I especially like the second one. Like the depth of focus and the line of black hats in the second. They're like a comic clone army. Made me smile anyway:) Regards Mat

Gnome army
Thanks folks! :) I'm looking forward to the return trip! There were a few of these guys there (you'd better look away Robbie :)), this was the original pre-crop shot for number 2 - you can see the missed focus on the central gnome.

Managed to get back to the garden centre a couple of days ago and get a properly focussed shot, plus a bonus shot :D Gnome army revisited Fat Robins

New 24mm prime
Quick wide-open test shot from the Tokina 24mm f2.8 I picked up via the classifieds here. I guess it could be sharper, but I'm still rather pleased with it. The wide open performance seems decent (and very consistent across the frame) although I think I missed focus on the eye a bit here, and it sha...

Trying something different
OK..... It's to noisy, the main subject is centre placed which isn't exactly exciting, The glow around the cross is actually worth something but the purple blob (over)saturation is hurting my eyes. But....look at it this way....You stepped out of your comfort zone. Well done. Now step back in a...

Trying something different
I agree with most of what Martin says. With the exception of stepping back into your comfort zone. I'd stick with this subject until you can make it work. :wink: (IMHO)

Murky day in Cornwall
I was drawn particularly to the diagonal formed by the cliffs, the sense of distance created by the spray mist in the distance and the overall brooding atmosphere. I'm not sure that the eye doesn't know where to settle. As I see it you see the engine house on the cliff first, then the diagonal dr...

Yet more sunsets
Right, I know I've been rude about one or two sunsets (or more:??) that have appeared here over the past six months or so. So now it's time for people to get their own back:wink:. My reason for being so - as far as I can recall - was that while the light might have been nice that alone is generally ...

Pine Processionary Caterpillar
Mid February to mid March sees these little chaps on the move in Spain. The first two, and the last images:- K20D + Sigma 180mm EX DG Macro + AF160FC flash. The other images were taken with the same setup except I used the SMCP-FA 50mm Macro lens. A head shot. Unfortunately I couldn't show ...

Pine Processionary Caterpillar
Thanks for all your comments. The last image is my first real attempt at focus stacking. Having tried it, I'll definitely be using it again.

Purple Tinge
I'd be more concerned about it being out of focus and perhaps with a little camera shake, noisy too at 1600ISO. 1/4 second is too long an exposure when in this close even with SR switched on. I doubt very much that your filter would have caused any colour cast, AWB will have removed any. @ fletch...

Purple Tinge
The colour might be a result of being inside (mixed/artificial light). You can remove the colour cast easily enough in PP but as Gartmore said, focus/camera shake is more of an issue. Best wishes Kris.
