I also like the blur effect, trully nothing wrong with that but it's now all about that and not the butterfly. These are the things that the eye like. 1 brightness 2 sharpness 3 colour What those you can pull the eyes to where you want and when the subject is in one of the focus point of th...

Whitby Goth Weekend - April 2010
Guilded Lily Just got back to Durham. Here's my first offering from the Goths Festival. I got in close for this one with the DA*16-50mm lens at 16mm. It was good to meet quite a few Pentax Forum friends again. david

Whitby Goth Weekend - April 2010
It was a great day Ken, I especially enjoyed meeting some old Forum friends and some new ones as well. I also got my fish and chips on the way back to the car. Father Ted remarked on the steam punks, there were a lot of them at Whitby and I have some shots which I'll post later. david

Great photos Andrew, I'm glad your back and I hope you didn't mind the few extra days. I really like the one in the middle with the waves and the two that follow, the colours are just so vibrant of those. The only photo that I don't really like is the last one, it looks oversharped to my eyes.

Breaking wave, morning mist and wicker chair are outstanding Andrew. Nice to have you back:mrgreen:

Thanks you two. It's great to be back. Of course, in retrospect, we were fortunate to have such a good long time. But when you're not sure when/how you're going to get back... But lots of time for photography. I actually ran out of memory cards! Stefan, the last one does look over sharpened. Not...

Welcome back Andrew. If this is exile, where do I sign! For me the series really takes off from No 3 - good stuff as usual.

A lovely series Andrew. I especially like the passing storm photo but the saturation looks a little over-cooked on my monitor. Glad you are back. Although I was away during the volcano event my flights straddled the close-down and I was unaffected! Best wishes, Kris.

Thanks, Kris, Glad you got back OK. I know what you mean about Passing Storm but I haven't tweaked the saturation just my usual Levels stuff. The light was extraordinarily intense, though. Best wishes, Andrew

#2 is out of focus. #1 looks better with a bit more contrast and a much tighter crop leaving the main subject and its reflection. Like this:- The white feathers around the head are still a little over exposed, but I'll leave you to work on that. I may have overdone the sharpening a little...

Thank you for the comments and help,the photo in no1 looked good, but looking at the rework you have done shows the problems I have in exposure in good light, will try to work it out,when I was taking these photos Seagulls were flying around, and out of 20+ shots all were blurred,used shutter speed ...

Exposure and contrast seem to be better but its still not in focus. Look closely at the eye. It is that which should be in sharp focus. I don't think you are using a fast enough shutter speed really. I would increase the ISO from 100 to 400 and use at least 1/320th sec for shutter. Personally...

I brought a SMC Pentax-A 75-210 f4 manual focus locally (for 30 English pounds) this is the first time I have tried it.

If you like that focal range, but would prefer auto focus, I can recommend the smc pentax-f 70-210mm lens. With the manual lens that you have, I recommend setting the focus point selector to centre spot (it might do this automatically), focus on the animals eye(s), and ensure you have the green h...

That sounds like good advice, will try those settings through the week, and maybe able to get some good shots of Seagulls, or other birds that come my way, the hard part is focus on the birds in flight.

good focus on the eye,great expression and fine composition.it is overexposed in some areas which is a shame as i think those areas are too burnt out to capture the detail. Roy

Thank you ReklawyksEkul, she was really trying her best. :) James are you now questioning my ability to expose a photo :P unedited raw version I wanted to place more focus on the eyes and I indeed clipped the photo on purpose because I thought that would work well by making it more interesti...

From here I don't mind Roy although I'm a bit more careful with this photo because the girl isn't part of my family and I don't want an angry mom after me :? But Like I said members here don't have to worry, you've my trust. Roy the problem with the processing you did is you move the focus from ...
