They are all good but No. 2 stands out for me too. Do you have tyre tracks down your back now? :D K.

SMC "K" 200mm f/4
This was one of a series of speculative (and rejected) shots for one of the competitions (wood I think?). I am posting it not because I think it is a great photo, but because I was rather pleased as to how sharp my 35 year old K series 200mm lens can be when I nail the focus and don't wobble. I re...

Scenic Studio II: Some Small Details
Sincere thanks to all of you for looking and taking the trouble to comment. Really glad you enjoyed them. Strange no one took to "Worn Out" which I quite like (colours, sense of all the hands who have used the old brass door knob and screwed it back on..." No more where these came from, I'm af...

Scenic Studio II: Some Small Details
I liked Worn Out, but I preferred the light in Ajar, it gives it more of a 3D look. It's hard to pin down, but I think the two OOF hooks add to the depth which Worn Out seems to lack. I've come back and looked at Post Mortem about ten times now :)

Scenic Studio II: Some Small Details
"Box Lid" doesn't do anything for me I'm afraid. "Ajar" is the best for my money. Good use of composition, selective focus & plenty of room for the mind to speculate. "Switched" is interesting, certainly has potential but the composition is messy. Cropping down to the horizontal timber improves it...

Lanyon Quoit, Cornwall
Nass, What a dramatic sky. You've put a great narrative with it on Flickr. It looks like it defies gravity, particularly now that it has only three supports. Would a little less foreground bring a greater focus to the mound perhaps?

Winterseries from the Gemmipass, Switzerland
Thank you all for the comments. Graham: I did not use any filter on these photos. I liked the use of the pol filter especially back when I used films, but now, I find the effect of the pol filter too hard. As to get the exposure right, I always quickly checked the histogram after taking a shot an...

Flowers of the Namaqualand, South Africa
Excellent colours. What a wonderful place to photograph. Number four's a bit special: I love the out of focus wind pump. I like the focus effects on 5 as well. Good lens. I'd like to have a play with one of those. Best wishes, Andrew

River Wye from Symonds Yat 10-17 fisheye
It's a great shot and Tim's quick editing has helped. :D If you get the chance to go back to the same spot, may I suggest that you lower the camera a degree or two so that the horizon is level, then the "fishy" effect will hardly be noticable. Fish-eyes can be fantastic for shots like these, but ...

Farm animals
Thanks folks! :D I must admit that was a little surprising - I expected the goat to be the most popular and the sheep to be least! I liked the goat :) The goat shot is at f2.8, i.e. small DOF which is why his mouth and nose are out of focus. In fact all the shots were wide open, the two horse sho...

Yanks coming
And the second shot is a toyota but I cant tell which model:D:D:D Actually, they do look a little soft, there are any number of reason for the aircraft but assuming the car was stationary very few reasons for that. I'd get the camera on a tripod and do some tests, try auto focus and then try i...

Yanks coming
Thank you for that information paul glad you like it,as for the lens I forgot to say it had a 2x on it, I have been told it might jam on the K7 so I put the 2x on just in case, Yes the Toyota was stationary cheaper to run and get a better shot that way , Tried about five shots on it and that was...

First Wildlife Of The Year
Great set, especially 1, 3 and 4 for me. The blackbird is a great capture - inquisitive looking chap, the fly on the log looks very cool and I love the DOF of the lizard - excellent focus on the head. You have a very diverse garden!!! whenever I go out into mine (more of a yard) it's generally slugs...

removing fence from lion
Knocked up this image for Molly's pre-school a while back. Thought I would share it here so that anyone with a fence or similar between them and the subject should snap away regardless because there's a good chance it can be removed very simply in PP. This time, all that was needed to resurrect th...

Junkyard details
Not my usual thing but I had fun. :) The first five shot with a SMC-M 100mm f/2.8 lens, the last three shot with a Vivitar 28mm f/2.8 close focus lens by Komine. All taken using a Manfrotto tripod, remote release, 3 second delay, no SR. Best wishes, Kris. 1. 2. 3. 4. ...

Fantastic shots, Kris, but there again I would say that, wouldn't I? And just when I was trying to wean myself off this kind of thing. Is the Marshall a single cylinder Field Marshall? If so it's a most interesting tractor used mainly by contractors for forestry work etc. You start them with a h...

Thanks everyone. Glad you think they're all right. The second one may be slightly out of focus: looks all right on my lap top monitor, though. Regards, Andrew
