4 From The Garden
Dug out the K20 as I've hardly used it since I bought the K7, they were taken with the Sigma 105mm Macro which I just love, all taken at 400 iso F11 hand held, I discovered there was a back focus issue with the lens but fixed it, comments welcome,:roll: happy viewing, Jack.

I must admit that having played around with XP2 Super and Tri-X 400, going back to Delta 100 is very pleasant. I shall have my darkslides loaded with Delta 100 when I go to Durham and will be very interested to see what 5x4 negs of the stuff can do. Best wishes, Kris.

Ivy
Thats quite effective Kris, my only gripe is I'd like to have seen all the ivy in the foregound in focus, the nearest leaves at the bottom are dropping off a bit. Difficult with limited Dof using tubes I know, but if its in the garden I'd have another go.

Ivy
Yes, in this one the slab on which the ivy is growing is at 45 degrees to the camera. I was trying to get fresh green ivy leaves on a background of blurred yellow cowslips. The problem is, of course, that the more one stops down the lens to get more of the ivy in focus, the less blurred and abstra...

Local countryside with the ultrawide
Tim, the 'Church Row' shot works and is a very nicely balanced picture. Maybe a step back would have given the scene a little more room to breathe, no? With respect, I feel that you may have taken the picture at the wrong time though, the sunlight looks like it has been lost behind a cloud, and as ...

The Last of Spring
Nice set Andrew, the first one is pretty good but it's a pity about the shadow over the centre of the flower. Number 2 is not in focus, or suffers from camera shake, or something, it looks odd :) Nice colours in number 3 but other than that it doesn't do much for me. However number 4 is a great s...

I wonder?
There's something psychologically unhinged about me, but I constantly photograph closed doors, windows etc. So, of course, I really like this. Unusual low angle with the differential focus adding to the effect. regards, Andrew

London's Statues & Monuments #7
Thanks very much for the replies, everyone. Aiki, your right of course. It proves challenging to me because taking a step back is how I want to document these structures. Cheers.

My fowl friends (mostly)
Thanks everyone, comments much appreciated. I like the Bluebells shot too - i was lucky that it was a sunny morning yesterday to back-light them. I never get bored of the ducks, and I agree that the Mandarin shot from above has much better colours/contrast than the one from the side - I just couldn'...

Film's not dead! It just smells a bit funny...
Hefty, i'll be interested in seeing your 645 images, for sure. How far can you go in tweaking a scanned film image? What is the range? Can film photographs benefit this way as a digital image? I think Kris has summed it up nicely - print film does have a visibly greater dynamic range to digital, ...

Film's not dead! It just smells a bit funny...
10x8s are serious bits of kit! The 5x4 can fit in a good sized rucksack with the appropriate bits and pieces but the tripod is a killer. I usually transport my 5x4 in a small wheely case which is roughly the maximum size of carry-on luggage. It contains the camera, normal and wide angle bellows, ...

Life in ten pictures
Very nice set Kris, and a great idea. If I had to pick one image, it would be no. 8. Itching for my macro lens to arrive now! Interesting choice as that was one of my least favourite in the set, but included it as it made a good link in the "story". This lens is not the macro version but the stan...

Some photos from Lamer
Having grovelled on the ground for some time taking the poppy series, I then went on to take more shots around and about Lamer. All shot with a K20D and the SMC-M 100mm f/2.8 lens, some with extension tubes. 1. Back to my favourite doronica. This time lit by the setting sun. 2. Come in No...

Some photos from Lamer
I'm touched by the special dedication. Mmm, very much my sort of thing! Shame you're losing your trial of this interesting plug-in, I like its effect. There's so much to admire here, sycamore sunset os a lovely and unusual shot, doronicum is good, love the back-lit hairs and the ivy is a stronger...

Couple from the garden
Love the daisies. Great use of selective focus and depth of field. Perhaps a square crop or are they too far apart? K.

Kev's nature pics
Hello all, I finally purchased my first ever slr camera about two months back, a Pentax k-x, and I'm absolutely LOVING it!!! I recently purchased a 50mm 1.7 manual lens as I only had the 18-55mm kit lens, and I'm really loving the results I get with that. I've been posting my images on my Flickr ...

Kev's nature pics
Thanks, PaulM. The pics from the second set are all from the same session. This hedge is in my back garden, I woke up one morning to all of this dew glistening on the hedge with a bright blue sky in the background and the sun shining through at a nice low angle, it was the perfect opportunity to get...

London's Statues & Monuments #8
I did wonder a bit about photographing around London with all of the terror worries and such, but hadn't encountered anything myself. I just thought they would think everyone was a tourist, as there are always loads of them around and they of course take pics and you can't very well stop them from d...

Lovely set, been there during my sailing days, brought back a few memories, Jack.
