K7 in Machine Gun Mode......
Used the K7 with Pentax 50-135mm fitted with the Pentax 1.7x AF TC to cover a cricket match. What a combination. FAST focus and sharp. System is very easy to use and AF in either single or continuous is very good. C&C welcome. Regards

K7 in Machine Gun Mode......
Surely this depends on aperture more than focus speed. If you focus on say the stumps and then use a aperture such as f8 then everything is going to be in focus. Actual focus speed/tracking involves moving the camera and following an object All this shows is that the fps is working ok.

Faultless work and focus: this is a pretty stern test. Decent lens, too. A.

My posible photo entry for dslr magazine course.
Besides the cloning, which is doable in a convincing way I should like to mention: Bring down the blue in the picture. Specially in the back ground and on top of the roofs. It just doesn't look right. But...A bit of work can make this a really good one.

Reject Startrail
I'm with everyone else. Much too nice to be a reject. You should see my first attempts at star trails from a few weeks back, yours is at least a bazillion times better :D

Fashion Show FS:X
Hi, just back from my second ever fashion show. The show is FS:X and is a charity show run by the St.Andrews univeristy. It was held in the Curtis Fine paper mill which has been empty for years. Was a really great show and i ended up with some interesting pics. The venue was pretty cold which the ke...

Yes, managed to get into photographing last years (FS:9), and was asked back for this years.

Fashion Show FS:X
Hi, thanks. The first one was shot at 21.9mm. Was using a pretty heavily diffused flash in a few of the shots but i think that all one ones i uploaded are just with the stage lights and some pp to bring back anything too dark/bright.

Disappointed with noise levels....
why is f14 odd? It's not odd but not needed in with this photo since the only focus point is the castle. Here play with this a bit With f/11 at 18mm you can get 1.87m in front of you till the horizon in focus, a bit over kill in this shot. Even with f/5.6 you can get 2.57 meter till the horizon...

Can anything be done with this ?
Indeed Andrew, if you could revisit and try not to get the awful school in your shot that would be the best solution. Funny to see how focus we can be on trying to make a shot better afterwards while it might be better just to reshoot it again.

Seems you've something to do this week :) About macro, actually your 18-55mm has a greater magnification then your 50-200mm. Put your camera on manual focus set the focus the closest it can get and the 18-55 on 55mm that way you would have the greatest magnification at 1:2.9 (1cm on the sensor w...

Wet day, and why?
I saw the step ladders and remembered a news report from a year or so back. It was about a man arrested for erm....getting frisky, with the cattle. The chuckle in the news presenter's voice when he said, "and he even brought his own step ladder!". :shock::shock::shock:

Ripped Packet Closeup
I don't like to be negative (but that won't stop me) but I can see no merit in the shot at all. The subject holds no interest, the composition seems arbitrary, the lighting is too harsh. Focus is good and it is sharp but beyond that I am afraid nothing for me. Mike

In the Museum
The crop in number 1 is a bit tight around the frame for me. There is more in the original, I could give it some more space. In number 2 the empty space bottom right in bugs me, perhaps a bit more space on the left and top would balance it out a bit. Again there is more in the original but I ...

In the Museum
I love them all, Kris: there's a quiet thoughtfulness to the images. I really think one shouldn't stress too much about the sharpness of this type of photography. I mean, nobody told Robert Capa to get back on the landing craft and reshoot the Normandy landings because they weren't sharp enough....

In the Museum
Quote: I don't think they're soft, it's just that you seem to have focussed on the artwork rather than the people. I thought it was deliberate In 2 I certainly did focus on the face of the statue. Not certain that was the right choice in hindsight. In one the focus is on the picture as I tho...

In the Museum
I tend to Mhuni's point of view. These shots are soft and for me at least the content does not compensate for this failing. As I recall Capa's shots were blurred for a good reason or for effect this is not what Kris was attempting or so I believe. These shots need to be sharp to work especially t...
