Nostalgia
When I bought my KR10 Super in 1985, the mags talked about the "Big Five"; Canon, Nikon, Minolta, Pentax, Olympus and then Ricoh was just outside aspiring to join. Me and a pal at uni both bought KR10 Supers on the same weekend. I got the camera plus 50mm prime, plus a Hanimex 135mm f2.8 and a...

pgweber ------ that`s why we used to stand by the side of the tracks in all weathers just to get a glimpse of them - anoraks maybe but very happy ones. Come back schooldays - pre-puberty and pre-girls - ah - the good life !! Tony

Lava Caves
All the talk of taking cameras down mines etc reminded me of this great trip I went on in 2007... me and an American buddy explored some lava tubes at Lava Beds National Monument near Tulelake in Northern California. We spent about 5 hours underground, and there were some worrying moments as ver...

Lava Caves
Brilliant photos - shame the graffiti artists had already been there ( second shot ) lol - even a crude prehistoric tripod and a depiction of Gareth`s lamp stand - tee hee. Was the little fella on his back lunch ?? I`m still iffy about going down the Mersey Tunnel !! Tony

Lava Caves
It sounds daft I know, especially to Americans, but sagebrush is one of my favourite landscapes. Just those miles and miles of brush and heat with mountains looming on the horizon. Makes me want to head back to the US. At least it might be a bit warmer there :D. So what was it snuffling at your ...

No idea what kind of duck that is...:shock:, but it's a nice looking bird! You're right about the green tree reflection as well. I hope to get some of that at the pond in Richmond, but the trees have been pruned and not grown back yet... Mat

Thanks again all. I have been back today with the DA* 300... the weather has not been quite as nice but some of the results look pretty good... I'll process a couple and put them into the forum (with apologies for flooding the place with ducks...:shock:) Regards Mat W

Hong Kong rural life
Thanks for the comments folks! Paul these were taken in in one of the valleys behind Mui Wo, which is the old village in Silvermine Bay on Lantau Island (the big buddha island). Cheung Chau is quite close, only a 10 minute ferry away, we will probably head over there one evening to eat in one of ...

Lovely photo Kris. Not too many lambs here this year due to Q-fever :(. My daughter-in-law (a vet student) is just back from 2 weeks lambing in Wales. At least now she gets paid for it. the first two years was compulsory and unpaid. they liked her so much they have asked her back twice since, and...

The light hasn't helped much, but cute lamb :) and good focus. I can see why you went for the square crop but I wonder if landscape with more space to the right might also work.

Duck! (Portraits)
1, 3 and 5 for me. I must admit I am getting quite fond of ducks since I came back to photography. All the cast at Arundel WWT are quite obliging.

Duck! (Portraits)
Ohh definitely number 2 for me. I'm surprised no one else picked it. I love it, the unusual crop, the strong curves, and the perfect DOF and razor sharp focus.

Finally got a picture of the Sparrow hawk
mmm... tasty pigeons!! :twisted: He'll most likely be back Mike, that belfry would be a take-away shop for him.

Intriguing shot David! At first I wasn't thrilled with it, but I keep going back to look at it! It is a shame about the tight crop at the top, and I agree the red dot doesn't seem necessary (a black dot would do just as well?), but it definitely has something that grabs you.

Well, I finally got some spring shots. Albeit, only from our back yard, haven't had a proper chance to get out recently. Here are the two I'm most pleased with. C&C welcome, as always.

The second shot is a beaut, with the light and the focus.

Second shot works best for me too, other than Kris's criticism about the leaves my only other gripe is the flower seems a little dissembodied (no visible stem), if we can see the leaves why cant we see that too? It would be interesting to know how you got the background so black The black backgro...

Baby on board and the second one for me. She just looks so happy in that one. I am sure they will love all of them and look back with fond memories.

pregnancy shoot #2
I'm not so keen on the flower ones but think the whole series is very good. I'm with Emma that they will look back at these shots with fond memories. My favourites are 5 (I do like that mad look) and 6. I took a moment to look through your PPG and I only can recommend it. Fantastic set of shots!...
