My first comment was a little tongue in cheek, but I keep coming back to look at this. It really is a lovely image.

Some pics taken with the Pentax-DA SMC 55-300mm f/4-5.8 ED
I have that lens and have rarely used it. You've inspired me to stick it back on the camera. The last shot in particular really showcases it well.

Simon I have the DA L version, cheaper as it does not have the quick focus and has a plastic rather than metal mount. I understand the optical quality is identical to the DA version. Only time will tell if it wears as well, but absolutely no issues so far. When I first got the lens, I thought ...

Airshow at Rhyl (5 images)
Well I'm not in the habit of machinegunning things myself, but a short burst of say 5-7 frames would come in very handy if the AF was up to the job. Sharing hides with CaNikon shooters who always seem to "catch the moment" gets frustrating at times:( Yes, agreed. I do know the feeling... but are ...

Airshow at Rhyl (5 images)
I must admit I have switched both my K10D and K-7 to "machine gun mode" once. The K10D was because it was my first DSLR and the K-7 because I wanted to hear the improvement. All I would like for the airshows is faster AF and a front row seat. I did ask the question about high fps on another mainl...

Deansgate at Night
Having ended the Secret Tunnels tour on Deansgate, on the way back to the car we saw this incredibly lit building. Around 1/10s with SR and the support of a local friendly lampost, with a couple of attempts to choose the sharpest from. 400 ISO, K20D, 16-45mm.

Thanks. I agree it's overcropped so have reintroduced a bit more space: I posted the wrong Monkey 2, should have been my headless monkey (on second thoughts I think it is a monkey and not a gibbon, I'll check when I go back. Thanks to all for all the comments, useful:

Paradise Wildlife Park animals
Thank you for C&C. Gwyn: K20D + DA*60-250 Btw, on that running ducks photo you can see AF speed of this lens ;), sharpness peak is behind white duck, somewhere in line with black duck in the back, AF-C focusing was done using central point aiming at white runner (well trying to keep it at cont...

Newbie getting the hang of DoF (2 images)
Ok, well firstly you're one up on a lot of newbies - you've successfully uploaded some pictures :D It appears that you were intending to get the foreground in focus, and the background out of focus. If this is so, then you've pretty much achieved it (although the fencing isn't really sharp), a...

Newbie getting the hang of DoF (2 images)
What will you advise in order to get sharp photos next time please? I'd suggest the following: - Change the settings so that you're no longer using hard contrast and hard sharpness. Use medium settings instead. - Forget about depth of field for now - Set the camera to use the centre auto-foc...

You don't need the hexagon signal for manual focus, but it is working in Manual as well, indicating when the camera thinks you are in focus. Helpful when you eyesight is not up to par. May also be easier to use than the matte screen.

Friendly little chap
Nice capture, Cayman. I like the pose. Good focus and exposure. However, I feel that the surroundings are a little distracting. Btw, you should have entered this in the Your Photos section.

yellow lillies
A beauty! What's this Opteka lens? Sorry if I'm asking something you've told many times before. :? Its made in Korea and sometimes branded as Falcon or Samyang depending on where its being sold. It is a fairly inexpensive lens designed to give, depending on how its used, virtually no depth of field ...

The evening light is outstanding Gary. Love the legs as well. Just to be awkward I think you should put the gull back. Right now that bottom corner is a bit bare. David

Learning Shutter and Aperture priorties.
I'd say these are a big improvement on the last photos you uploaded, I think you're getting the right idea about depth of field and how it relates to aperture but don't forget you also need to get the focus right too (the picture of the bee has the flowers in the background as the sharpest elements)...

Learning Shutter and Aperture priorties.
Hefty's got it ElRazur - the theme in this series does seem to be focusing in front of your subject. There are many choices for an autofocus (assuming that is what you've used?), both behind and in front of your subject, for it to lock onto. With manual focus, it takes practice to do well throug...
