Focus on infinity

Thanks, Mike. No, just on a fixed tripod, 1sec. @ f4. was playing with a view to capturing the comet in Cassiopia last week. Failed at that but was intrigued at what it did reveal! Best regards, Roger.

Focus on infinity

I believe the comet is currently quite faint (not a naked eye object) so you'll need higher ISO/ longer exposure to stand any chance of seeing it. If you did so well with those conditions my 30s f5 should have been much more overexposed than it looks... I think my focusing must need improvement.

Focus on infinity

Yes, Mike, I was struggling with the comet, that's for sure! The website said it was a blur rather than a point (my words), so my search was certainly more in hope than expecation! I'd be interested to see some of yours, in spite of your under-estimation of the results of your efforts!!! Roger...

Focus on infinity

I'd be interested to see some of yours, in spite of your under-estimation of the results of your efforts!!! Roger. ps, 30sec. @ F5, at what ISO? The ISO for those was 1600 (3200 is rather noisy on the K100) I've just uploaded a shot (in my portfolio) of Jupiter rising above the trees in my ...

pink shoe

I can see merit in the recurring curves of body and shoe. On the other hand I do not know if it is the background that's too stark, the body too soft focus, or just the lack of definition between them seems to detract from it. IMHO

pink shoe

James, Perhaps a little more contrast between the background and the back of your model? Maybe that's just another way of saying what Barrie has already...

pink shoe

Spot on James. The blends of pinks is lovely. I don't mind the simple background. More pink would be too much and another colour would be distracting. I also like the mixture of sharp and soft focus. I do admire your studio work. It's a cut above.

Summer holidays,,,

Certainy a mixed set, Brett. I like the shot of the light-trails and the back-lit blue flower.

Back from Pilbara

Stunning colours and sharpness, very nice indeed. I prefer the landscape crop of the red and yellow one (which incidentally looks remarkably like Wilson from Chuggington! I must show my son :)) The first image is also fantastic, I can almost feel how massive it is.

Back from Pilbara

just one word... Wonderful! Love the lighting and details in them, i wonder if you would process them more heavily if you can get more of that in your photos, make them a bit more dramatic.

Back from Pilbara

I've never seen light like this... Amazing colours and, of course, subjects right up my street. Very nice work.

Lovely rich sky. Well done.

Comments appreciated. I have not seen light like this before. It's down to atmospherics, the air is so clean here. Best regards

Some sample shots from my newest acquisition

I don't pretend that these have great artistic merit, but I thought I'd post them anyway given the amount of pondering I did on here regarding this lens. Needless to say the Limited arrived yesterday and I took a lot of largely boring test shots with it this afternoon. None of them have been PP'd, b...

Sorry about that HG :( The original kitchen dated back to 1957 [ when the house was built ] and had never really been finished properly , just altered from time to time , nothing matched and it was just a jumble of cupboards etc .. Apparently there was originally a table in there too , round whi...
