I think it's either a PP issue (assuming you shoot RAW) or the focus is well off as there seems nothing sharp in there. If you can't it sharp with flash then it has to be either focus or PP. Are you relying on AF? Mike

What camera are you using? Live view on my K20D is almost useless as far as getting an in-focus shot is concer...

I was using a 35-70mm Miranda lens which I purchased in Newcastle at Dixon's for 35 Pounds back in 1987. No lens hood was used The Flare gives it an omonous look. I took this picture in a ghost town. Only three buildings were still standing

HDR vs straight shot
I prefer the (first) HDR shot too but is is a bit too colourful. I agree that mixing a bit of the original back in to tone it down might do the trick. However PPing is not my area of expertise..... ( among most other areas for that matter.:shock:) I don't like the PS HDR as there are too many b...

Das Störrische Muli
Yes, I like it. I think it could be cropped tighter, esp on the rhs but it's a fun, appealing image. Perhaps the central figure is also a bit out of focus. Are the streaks from the multiple exposure or reflections on a pane of glass?

Das Störrische Muli
thank you. im sorry but what do you mean with rhs? yes i agree with you about the central figure, i wish i could make it more focus. the red streaks i think its from a reflection, i dont remember much but i believe there is a glass cupboard

Das Störrische Muli
Improved! You seem to have focused on the man to the left, and used a wide aperture, hence the shallow DOF. Try to focus on the central figure and use a smaller aperture (higher f-number).

Two pansies
Tough call on the DOF as that would then make the background sharper and more intrusive. I was going for a quite limited DOF on purpose and tried one shot with just the tops of the petals in focus which was not a success.

A-ha! purple fringing... I don't think so, or not apparent to me anyway... (having now been back to have a look...) Here is the colour version of the leaves shot: and here are a couple of '100%' crops of the image - first one from near the centre of the image: and this one from the v...

Wasp Nest
Here's something I've been playing with today. It's a small wasp nest on one of my outdoor plants. This image is made using Combine ZM and 22 .TIF files taken at different focus points. The nest contains a mix of empty egg chambers, egg chambers under construction, eggs, nectar, and developin...

Wasp Nest
How long did it take to PP it with 22 layers CombineZM does all the work Greg. Helicon Focus is another programme that achieves the same result, but CombineZM is free. It takes about 5 minutes or so to process 22 x 25Mb+ tif files. Tutorial and links .

Wasp Nest
A further comment :) having seen macro photo's compiled in this way with such great depth of field, I tend to diss those pictures where the only point in focus is the eye, the insects must be trained to sit still for longer :wink: Greg

Wasp Nest
Very detailed image (or combination of images) Peter. If these were European wasps, you're game mucking around with one of their nests! They are absolutely vicious out here, one bloke in a Melbourne suburb died about a month back after being stung on disturbing just such a nest.

Just returned from a weekend in Gareth-land. Here's a few shots taken in and around the estuary near where we stayed. I just took my manual focus 28mm Clubman which was an interesting exercise it itself. All pictures taken with aperture priority, usually f8. Snow on...

Thanks everyone. So glad the pictures struck a chord with you. As Gareth correctly pointed out: 98% North Wales (God's Country) in perfect weather and two percent Pentax and I. Going back there over Whitsun. Just wish it wasn't so far away, but we can get to Gareth's patch in about an hour! I...
