That fast focus really payed off with the blackbird Gareth, both mine went straight in the recycle bin, though in my defence I was using an antique lens as is clearly visible in your shot of us shooting skyward:D

Harewood meet Pics
Well, my first post here, so hello! Firstly, having seen Alan yesterday evening at our local camera club I can say that he was back on his usual form which I'm pleased to be able to say. Secondly, thanks to everybody who made it to Harewood last Saturday for making me feel welcome and allowing...

Thanks Graham. If you went for the welding glass; mine was superglued to an empty filter ring, then I went around the outside with some silicon bathroom sealant to make it light-tight. The edges of the glass were pretty sharp so I put some tape around them. It's ugly but it works better than you sho...

I think your camera is faulty. I'm much better looking than that!:shock: Anyway, Whitby here we come.... A serious soft focus would have sorted that:lol:

Post Wedding Blues...
I got married last weekend and the wife is finding it hard to part with her bouquet. I saw an opportunity and took it into the back garden for a few snaps. Let me know what you all think. Taken with my KM using my XR Rikenon 50mm lens.

Post Wedding Blues...
Congratulations: marriage is a wonderful thing (mostly) and very convenient domestically. Now for the pictures...I hope you don't intend them to be sybolic ina any way! I like the third one because of the stronger contrast and the fading focus. An unusual footnote to what I hope was a wonder...

I got married last weekend and the wife is finding it hard to part with her bouquet. I saw an opportunity and took it into the back garden for a few snaps. It's only been two weeks, shouldn't it still be 'my darling wife' or something similar? :D You only graduate to 'the wife' after a few years met...

Wee hedgehog
I had to rescue a Hedgehog a couple of weeks ago, our lower back garden is totally enclosed with walls, the "big" chap had got down onto the decking and couldnt get back up the steps onto the higher level to find a way out, he was running round in what looked like panic (not the first time its happe...

Three views of Gotham. (3 images)
Thanks for the comments Neil: there's no big secret to the processing, I used Topaz Adjust, a Photoshop plug-in. Saying that, it has taken me a while to get the hang of Topaz. If you don't get the levels absolutely spot on everywhere in the file before you process it, it introduces a lot of noise, s...

Three views of Gotham. (3 images)
Good for you, Jon... I must confess if I'd shot #3, I would be having that printed out poster-sized and put on a wall. I really do think it's a keeper. And can I be really rude for a moment? Going by the Old F*rt's Rule Book of Composition, I don't think there's a single rule which isn't being br...

Thanks for the comments, Neil! You're right about the composition, and it's great when you can break all the "rules" and still get a good result. When I saw the Coke truck, I immediately thought I have to get a picture of it, and the colours of that and the taxis made me think of processing the shot...

More from Isaccea
I have to agree with Berg, 2 & 3 for me too. The first gate pic doesn't do anything for me. The second gate pic. .. I think the out of focus fence to the right is distracting. I think I'd have preferred that in focus with the building behind out of focus, but hey! That's just my opinion.

Bath by night...
Spooky! When you took #2 & #3, you were standing about 20 yards from my back garden! :) But then, this is a popular spot for photographers. You took these on the same night/evening that I took my Divebombing Gulls sequence, elsewhere in this forum - though I was around the other side, on Grand Parad...

Moon shot
Thanks chaps! David, the MTO is a Russian lens. I believe they still make them today (not hideously expensive, about 300 Euros I believe). I think Rubinar lenses are from the same people. They are usually T mount, but when you buy them you can also get various adapters (including Canon and Nikon,...

Thanks for that. And the smokies tasted as good as they looked. Welcome back - there are some beaut shots here Fr Ted - the smokies, the three musicians, and the first of the landscapes too. Interesting that you chose that shot. I still can't decide if the foreground is just a tad too dark.

Thanks guys. I'm pleased you like them. :D ANd I take on board what you say, David, regarding having a distinct point of focus.

First few with the SIgma 10-20
Euh, thinking about it makes my brain hurt - I'm not sure any more. If it was a flat field I think the corners would be even worse? At a guess, the field is supposed to be flat - it may not be anywhere near perfect, but it is at least supposed to be a rectilinear lens. There's at 10mm, of course,...
