Cracking shots, I see what you mean about the back tyre, did he manage to finish the race. Were these taken with the 300 f4 or the 500? Its nice to see some good bike shots. Regards John.

Under the arches
Having previously avoided PP, I've started to have a bit of a go, only Picasa so nothing major, but thought I would see what I could do with some older pictures. This one was taken underneath one of the arches of the bridge at Ironbridge in Shropshire. It's a completely opportunistic shot (litera...

West Somerset Railway III: A cavalcade of BR Standards
I'm not sure there isn't a trace of irony there somewhere, Kris. But thanks anyway. Paradoxically it's the non-engine shots which are the most interesting... My son thinks I lack focus (so to speak) as I keep wandering off to take close-ups and non-railway related landscapes! A.

West Somerset Railway III: A cavalcade of BR Standards
Hi Gareth, I did mine in photoshop CS3 and below is the steps I used. My dirty sratchy layer was a picture of an old cast concrete wall with marks, scratches and imperfections that I liked the look of. In photoshop it goes some thing like this 1) Image>Adjust>Black and White and move th...

A Trip to the Coast
Hi Barrie, Not keen on the black figure shots, but love the first and last lighthouse pictures and the second windmill shot. It's nice to see some prime lens pictures. We tend to forget that's how most of us started with a standard 50mm lens alneit offering a wider view in those predigital da...

A Trip to the Coast
The last three are excellent, especially the last one and the antepenultimate one. The first of the windmill images is ruined by the 1950s semi in the background which is a shame because the three puffs of cloud are very cute. :) I went to college at Durham and am still very fond of the area. I...

Brighton
Goodness me, Emma. I pop into town for an hour, come back and you've produced this! It is noisy but I don't worry about that in monochrome: it happened when you push the contrast a bit. I think it adds character like a fast old film like HP5. Just run the dodge brush over the highlights in the sa...

splash of strawberry
well thanx guys... the knife did get wiped off before the shot, to be honest, it's my camping knife, a cheap oneida and yes it is chipped up... I only have two decent knives in my kitchen, a achrade and a cleaver and they stay there, this knife is always in with the camping gear, near the studio...

S-M-C Takumar 28mm f/3.5
This is a screw-mount M42 Tak, not one of the later bargain uncoated bayonet taks. I assume it is the direct ancestor of the SMC "K" 28mm f/3.5. The IQ seems pretty good for shots taken handheld in lowish light. The last one was taken at the minimum focus distance of 40cm and wide open in an atte...

Tower Crane
Saw this the other day and I liked the way the yellow of the boom contrasted against the blue sky. I did however stuggle to pick a point to focus on, I couldn't work out which was best either the end of the crane or the middle. Focus on the end of the boom close to the cab Differ...

Tower Crane
I think the first focus point is best. I would make the verticals vertical and crop/clone out the roof, and perhaps go for a tighter portrait crop. All grey skies here today and a howling wind :( Cheers, K.

basil??
The background looks to have a lot of noise and the subject is not in focus. As you used flash, did it really need ISO 800? This was also taken very late at night, perhaps a daylight shot would yield a better image.

All of the above is helpful I used auto every thing,focus,green mode,tri pod,remote, any other reason this could be out of focus. when I have a good look at higher magnification it appears to be in focus midpoint. Yes it was late at night probably should have gone to bed tried next day. Th...

K-7, Nokton 58mm and the cat, initial test
Hey, Just getting the measure of the K-7 and manual focus. It is far far more sympathetic than the GX20. I don't think I'll need a split screen for this. The beep as the focus point hits is a nice sound. F3.5 1/100s ISO100, hand held. Anyway, so far so good. the K-7 is lovely with...

K-7, Nokton 58mm and the cat, initial test
You got the eyes in focus and that makes the picture excellent. Just a touch off with this sort of photograph and it becomes an also ran. Lovely looking results from that lens/body combination. You're going to have fun! K.
