First pics out of my 'new' Spotmatic
When I was growing up a Spotmatic was my dream camera. Nice to see some shots taken with one. I really like the leaping Poles. That will be great to look back on in years to come...

Around the village on Gardens Open Day
Roger, The theme for me here is that, with cropping, each of these images would be more visibly concentrating on a particular aspect of the subject matter. As they are, they are a little open. That is, there is too much going on in each of them to focus the eye on the particular aspect that caug...

A Grand Day Out
Out of focus, but not smooth. Not too disturbing, but I just wondered what was going on.

A Grand Day Out
Out of focus, but not smooth. Not too disturbing, but I just wondered what was going on. Thanks, I'll go back and have a look at the originals to see the difference.

Duxford Battle of Britain Air Show. Sept 5th 2010.
I had a look at the EXIF detail immediately because the first one in particular looked over-sharpened to me. You've wound up the in-camera sharpness, contrast and saturation to the max. My advice, if you are shooting JPEG is to set contrast and saturation back to the default and sharpness to +1. If ...

Duxford Battle of Britain Air Show. Sept 5th 2010.
Interesting comments, thanks, just the sort of thing I was looking for. No. 1 is a crop and like 3 is orientated as I shot them. No. 2 is one of a sequence of 25. The aircraft did indeen continue to cross in front of me. I chose this one as it has the aircraft in a good position to the blue sky,...

Battle of Britain Memorial Flight at Chartwell
Thanks for the kind comments. This was the first time I have photographed aircraft, and I was very pleased with the results. I think I needed a slower shutter speed than 1/500 to get the right amount of prop blur. I will have to find an airshow now to hone my skills further. I had the K10 set to ...

Battle of Britain Memorial Flight at Chartwell
Nice sharp well exposed shots .. well done. I had the K10 set to multi- focus point A/F, and continous A/F, and I think it did very well. Pentax cameras have no problem with the older slower planes, it's the fast jets that cause all the comments about the AF system.

Kids
This is a wonderful set. #1 :mrgreen:Number one is priceless. I love the true capture of the human emotions. Children do this better then any adult. They are so uninhibited. Number one has fantastic impact for the viewer. It brings delight, amusement, and the pure joy of childhood. In my opinion...

More from the spottie but in colour!
Yeah... I'll have 4 of them when they all arrive, lovely lense IMHO, the first manual focus I bought for my canon 20D. I bought one from my local LCE same as yours super takumar, then bought a spotmatic F to play with it on the 'proper' camera it was intended for, realised what a bonus open apertur...

First efforts!
I wouldn't worry about the noise. It's very rock and roll. I would have liked to see the use of a wide aperture to throw the background out of focus. Don't be afraid to get in close. You often convey more by getting a single person in the shot than by the whole band. The shot of the dog is ...

Shut Up
Thanks Sam-Joseph. As to the 'stretched' padlock, the title was intended to reflect the vertical nature of the shot and its subject (not of course as an insult to the forum!) :D Back in a week :arrow:

Bridge ii
I think you need to decide what is the focus of the shot here. For me the bridge is too much to the edge. I wondered about strings from right centre exiting top left. Richard

Sydney harbor bridge at night (4 pics)
Hi All, This is my first attempt at night / long exposure images and I specifically didnt want to do them in HDR. All shot with the K200D and the 18-55WR kit lens, I kept the exposure as wide as possible and tried to aim for a point 2/3rds of the way in to keep everything in focus. The br...

Sydney harbor bridge at night (4 pics)
Thanks for the feedback everyone, Fatspider, I did consider that, I think when I have the time i will go back and re-shoot some of them around dusk, so I get a deep blue (instead of black) sky with some clouds in to fill that blank space. Davex & Liddy Thanks for the suggestions. I will ha...

One from this morning
of the 50 [ !! ] I took this morning during the 45 mins when it was dry, this is the one I keep going back to . It was taken purely to please me - I just liked the colours . There's just something about it . The wind dropped quite a bit and so I pressed the button.

One from this morning
here's the other one - the colours are not nearly as attractive :( I'd go back like a shot - but it really does depend on weather - this was taken in the Old Stables Courtyard at Pollock Country Park . If it's dry tomorrow I'll have another go [ hmmm have I got any black card in the house ? ...

One from this morning
Crop is much better, the wall isn't that bad and its nicely out of focus, if I may suggest, a slight tweak to the levels will brighten it up a bit.

Flower photos - good enough to sell?
Hi, Wow, it's been a while since I posted on here! I've decided to bite the bullet and try to sell my photos. I have emailed low-res versions of the ones below (plus others) to a company who specialises in providing artworks for corporate buildings, hotels etc. I am waiting to hear back from them...

Flower photos - good enough to sell?
These look like they were shot outdoors, in the wild so to speak, try looking at the supermarket or local flower seller and buy some. Set yourself up at home in front of a window get hold of various plain cloths or card for use as backgrounds, also some white card to use as a reflector. you can t...
