Plas Tan y Bwlch
Luvverly... :D Number six is excellent but I would crop just a little off the top so that the OOF batch of blooms is at the top mirroring the in focus group at the bottom. At the moment there is too much going on in the OOF area. IMO anyway. :) Best wishes, K.

A few from the 'Moor
Good evening all, Just got back from a week away in Devon. Here are my favourites taken from Dartmoor one afternoon, all processed from the RAW files using Silkipix. C&C welcome.

Eternal Vigil
Ditto Kris, nice silhouette. I'm in two minds about the back section of the statue leading out of the RHS - did you have any thoughts on it?

Eternal Vigil
Very nice silhouette, the sky sets it off nicely. Like i-berg, wonder how it would look without the back part of the statue?

Some flora with the Pentax 50/1.7
Thanks Iqbal, I think I also prefer Dandelion number 1, the focus is better. But number 2 has rounder OOF highlights, I'm not so keen on the hexagonal ones in number 1 :? Maybe I'll clone them into round ones :twisted:

Some flora with the Pentax 50/1.7
Thanks folks! Yeah I wish I hadn't stopped down for the first dandelion shot, will have to try that again as I prefer the focus there. Aliengrove I think the red flower is a tulip of some sort (but no idea really, I'm like you as far as flowers are concerned). The background was some tiny blu...

Some flora with the Pentax 50/1.7
I prefer the clock in one but the bokeh in two (no pleasing some people!) The others present almost too little depth of focus, for me. It's really hard to know when enough's enough! Regards, Andrew

Some flora with the Pentax 50/1.7
Thanks Gareth :D Yes this was just the 50mm on its own, at around the closest focus distance.

More S & M
The second one for me is great. As Kris said the detail is excellent but I also like the angle you've shot it at :wink: Thanks for the comments. Its shot from eye-level, usually pictures of it have a blue sky with a few fluffy clouds but I think the rain really adds to it. I might go and do some mor...

Blenheim, 31mm & 77mm Ltds
Well, I think that response was pretty convincing! We do actually have 2 weddings to do this year, so I guess they are on a stay of execution! The telling thing here I think is that no one has suggested making an offer on them, so they can stay for now, but after the weddings, I'm sure I'm gon...

Blenheim, 31mm & 77mm Ltds
Now, whatever did happen to that pre-production K7? Like Fiona breaking her ankle on honeymoon, this is another of those moments that deserves a great story! It's a shame that all I can say is that it went back to Pentax. Would be interesting to know what they do with them though. Let's hope t...

Blenheim, 31mm & 77mm Ltds
When we came back from honeymoon (Feb 09) with Fiona on crutches, everyone was expecting some wild story including a bedroom, chandelier, wardrobe & cape! Truth is, she slipped on a bit of gravel and dislocated & fractured her ankle! Some fun pics More

A quick set from this morning...
Thanks for the comments everyone! The Dandelion was amazing to look at through a macro lens (the DFA 100 is a smasher in my view) - there are so many layers to it and it's a bit of a challenge to keep what you want in focus (note to self - use a tripod!) but am pleased with the result - I took quite...

Final Few from North Wales
Lovely shots... back on familiar ground with 5 & 6! 7 is nicely composed and the fen looks as soft as a kitten's paw (but sharp photographically - wonder which lens you used here). Uncoiling ferns always remind me of fractals ... a few simple mathematical rules producing complex results with the...

What is the third one focused on? looks out of focus to me :? The second is my pick of the bunch.

Brass Player
Exposure and focus are spot on. Well captured. I think, however, that the picture is cropped too much. Would like to see more of the costume/instrument.

Does it look cluttered.
Cropping to just include ironwork and sky offers several nice abstract (sort of) images. However this is pretty extreme cropping, did you take any shots with a longer lens? Only had the 16-50 on the K7. This framework was right alongside a barbed wire fence (attached) and I did not want to go int...

Focus point?
I was looking at some random shots I took yesterday, all just for experimenting/learning purposes, but I feel particularly indecisive about this one so looking for some second opinions! Basically, where and how should I have put the focal point? (I was actually aiming for the centre knob but miss...
