Iraq 1982
I cropped in from the full image Gareth. Didn't want to spend the time to remove. Limited room for manoeuvre with the camera (he says, trying to remember)hence a lot of stuff shot as was. Not due back there for a while so similar will have to wait. Regards

Iraq 1982
I used Kodachrome 25. For the life of me, I can't remember where the prints were done. I know it was by a decent lab in the UK and at the time I was very concerned that I got my slides back. Most of my prints from those days have been kept in cool, dark and dry conditions (large cool boxes in the...

SMC 85mm f/2 @ f/4
mine is an absolute PIG to focus at f2. But the rendering! Wow, is it worth it... yes, it most definitely is. Bret

3 day old moon
I decided to charge my battery and get my telescope back out. I discovered that photographing the moon in its early states is difficult as DoF appears to be quite small. I say "appears" as in reality the out of focus area is many tens of miles away from the in focus area. Still, excuses done :roll:...

3 day old moon
I'm forced to agree regarding number 2. I struggled with focus, I really miss my split screen :cry: I get confused with how to define a crop, so here's the image straight off the camera, just resized for the forum.

A few from my thailand trip
A nice set. That REALLY sucks re the camera, just been reading your story on the other thread. I think I'll take my film camera if I go on any special trips, as a back up body, although (touch wood) my K200 has been rock solid so far.

Ducklings
I agree with the above - but well done on capturing these little guys with good focus. I was trying to photo a gosling or two a couple of weeks ago, but they can really shift! and with them being so small I really struggled to get any decent shots. Nice work Mat W

Ducklings
thats better Tim except i think i would leave the whole of the left hand duckling in the shot Roy I think I'd probably disagree, the left hand duckling doesn't add anything for me. The beak is hidden which makes it look a bit odd anyway. Also the in-focus duckling would be too central if you incl...

The moon is out.
1st one for me, I like your composition here and I think the moon blends in nicely with the out of focus blooms. well captured.

1. Lovely sharp image with nice colour. Really need to crop out the top right corner, though. 2. Not sure if any of it is actually in focus. Maybe a small lighter area at the bottom left of the image? 3. I quite like this as an abstract. I'm sure it probably doesn't work in colour, though.

The first one should be way sharper if my experience with the Sigma 50 macro is anything to go by. And I don't mean a little bit sharper. The second one does seem to lack a focus. What I have found using the 50 macro close up is that you have to stand very still as fractional movement back or ...

It may be my eyes but they do look a tad on the soft side, did you use a tripod Emma? Macro work suffers tha same problems as telephoto work, close up magnification will exaggerate camera movement, also bear in mind that if your hand holding then the camera may move out of focus as you press the ...

Yes I agree are a tad soft and yes I did use a tripod and remote shutter and manual focus. Think its time I went back to opticians:(

Sigma 70 - 200 Blossom
Thanks for that, I bought the lens from Mifsuds after someone here alerted me to it and I think the quality is way above my standard lens. I am also looking at the 24 - 70mm version. I am also in the very forunate position of having 3 acres with a wife who looks after it so I have huge range of ...

indonesian butterfly
It's a hard shot to judge... I think you intended to photograph the butterfly but it gets lost in the "busy" background blur. There is not much you can do about that because it's part of the personality of the lens. I quite like the effect though but for the purpose of showing the butterfly I thi...

indonesian butterfly
hmm i kinda like the blur effect. This is my third roll and before i take the picture i was googling about bokeh :D. but i agree i didnt show much about the butterfly after i see it again. about the third rule, so if i crop the bottom right corner (making the butterfly in the bottom right) the fo...
