So ... i was driving along a country lane when I went past a fat pheasant standing on a grassy verge by the side of the road. Aha, I thought to myself, a perfect opportunity to try out my newly acquired Sigma 70-200 f2.8 (thanks PentaxAnne!) I turned the car around, and drove back towards th...

Redhead
thoughton is right the 70-200 is a great lens, especially with a x2 converter slapped on the back, but yes I do feel a bit on an anorak lugging it around:o

Depth of field? Who needs it?
Thanks, the lens has bags of character and for all they cost I think I'll go for one of their fisheyes. MF but with a fisheye you hardly need a focus ring let alone AF. I've learned with the 85, after buying Focus Magnifier Fb, that you can't rely on the focus confirmation dot or split screen, yo...

Depth of field? Who needs it?
I love the soft, dreamy colours and the way the focus swims in and out of sharpness. (If that's a word!).

New lens: FA 77ltd macro
I prefer the first entry, Joel. The bee is too dark in the second. But a very good capture, focus spot on and creative use of DOF.

A couple from last autumn
Lovely couple of shots Ted - one rather spooky and desolate - the other uplifting and vibrant. Tony I hadn't thought of that when I put them together, but you are right! Only another hundred or so to sort through:shock: I should go back to film, it might make me less trigger happy!

Everyday politics through a camera
A Mosk in Tatarstan, paid for by the Turkish government....MZS, 24-90mm After he saw me with cameras, he followed me for nearly an hour. He finished a bottle of Vodka and invited back to his home to meet his family. I declined the offer. Just before he boarded the tramvia, I took the shot. M...

Antique forks.
I really like the set, but find the bokeh on #1 a bit distracting. I might have shot with a slightly higher aperture to get the tails in focus as it falls in one of the 1/3 focal points, but I may be alone on that thought.

Minx the cat
Number 1 for me, except the shadow is a bit of a bummer. I like number 3, it could have been brilliant with the lovely dof and great focus on the head, but the burn out is bit overpowering.

just ME super
I like the out of focus background. Just what you want in a shot like this. But the camera looks very soft and 'milky' to me. This kind of subject needs to be sharp, and I would prefer to see the whole camera.

just ME super
Yes you need to see the whole item...with focus right on and the background out of focus.

First few with the Tamron SP90mm f2.5
I stopped in Kenilworth on the way back from work. The light was lovely, and there were wildflowers blooming everywhere! I'm not really a 'flower shot' kind of guy, but who could resist bluebells and buttercups flowering en masse.

Barking Abbey and 'New' church
The steps are wonderful, Emma and I really like the focus effects on the last one. I'd definitely want to play around with the leaves and clock tower shot, cropping and using selections and curves. It has, I feel, potential. They do say the first and last hours of daylight are the most valuabl...

A flight around the Isle of Anglesey
What a fantastic present - I have hinted loudly to my hubby and he is well impressed with your shots - my fav is the Penmon lighthouse. If you could choose the perfect conditions for the flight to get the best images - what would they be? To be honest I'm planning on going back and doing the Snowdon...

Hi Simon, I`m glad it was of some use! The Cessna was back in action today but it was quite hazy everywhere especially around the Anglesey coast due to some mist rolling in, Though by the time of you`r flight in the afternoon it would probably have cleared a bit, Snowdon is looking lovely at the ...

A flight around the Isle of Anglesey
I hope that not too many shot`s were affected, Could it be possible that it is the perspex window rather than the lens causing it. I have had several images where that has been the case when shooting through perspex. You are right, Mona Club are a bit more laid back in that respect! The only time i...

A flight around the Isle of Anglesey
i have been up with them was a flight around Anglesey in their Piper Arrow. Unfortunately i was in a rear seat on that occasion and was trying to shoot through badly scratched perspex. Lots of PP there! Still it was free and we did do a complete circuit of the island. All 125 miles in 1 hour!!! Reg...
