Stained glass
Thanks guys for the comments. Doug, The slight widening towards the bottom of the frame is because you have to point your camera upwards to get stained glass windows and there is only so much compensation you can do in PS without distorting the image even more. At least with my limited PS skills tha...

From Lord's hill
Sorry Coker this does not do anything for me, my eye is not drawn anywhere. Most of the shot is out of focus. I think that there could have been a tighter shot with the poppy and the stubble. or even the patterns in the stubble. dave

Common Blue
Beautiful shot, John. I know how hard it is to capture butterflies in good light, in focus, without a distracting background...

Ile de Vassivière
Vassivière is a very large, nearby lake. The island in its middle houses an excellent contemporary arts centre and sculpture park. Here are some examples, which are posted not for photographic merit but to give a flavour of the place to anyone who might find it interesting: Poor photo but just ...

They're all up to your usual high standards Mike, but the shield bug one is easily my favourite. WHat a fantastic shot! (Just the sort of thing I want to see in this week's fortnightly comp! hinthintnudgenudge :D)

Great shots Mike. I particularly like the ladybird, but it seems to have some kind of halo effect around it's head/thorax area.

Congratulations Mike on a very nice series. Patience and skill - how did you get so close to them all?

Ninja-like stalking skills. :lol: .. I don't think my size would allow any type of stalking skills. These were taken with the Sigma 180mm macro and the Pentax 100mm f2.8 with 1.7x teleconverter attached so a bit more distance available than normal. I was lucky with number 5 though, I think it ...

These are really lovely - the sort of thing I'd like to be able to do in the future

They are all superb Mike! The 180mm Macro is on my 'to get' list; though it seems that lens has been discontinued, so it might be a little difficult to get hold of next year. I agree with Tim - the colours of the shield bug and depth of field of that shot are superb, and it's my pick of the bu...

I have only just bought the thing .. took me the best part of 12 months to find one at a price I was willing to pay. :roll: Anyway, they are slowly going now.

You would never think a converter was involved, nice and sharp.

Beautiful - I love the ladybird. What iso are you shooting at Mike? There's a hint of film-like grain to some of these.

Great shots! I'm another who would snap up a 180mm if I could find one:shock: I think the shield bug is my favourite. I like the crop very much. Regards

What iso are you shooting at Mike? There's a hint of film-like grain to some of these. Usually around 160/200 but some are done on the K10D and some on the K-7. If you click on the title under each photo you can see which was taken with what body/lens/ISO. I think the shield bug is my favourite...
