I prefer No 1 - I think it has more impact. Great shots and a good eye to spot the possibilities. I'm also with DrOrloff. What does it look like if cropped down to remove the heavy lines on each side (the two verticals and two horizontals)? It strikes me that removing these details might draw ...

Simply red .....
Lovely set, for me number 3 is the best. If I was to nitpick, what lets the other two down ( to my mind ) is the out of focus leaf tips on the prominent leaf in number one. And the out of focus foreground leaf in number two. Number 3, though: sublime!

Actually I'm really annoyed with myself - these looked far better in the camera than they do now. Oh I know that feeling all too well. That monitor on the back of the camera LIES!

+1 to fastspider's comments, just learn from these and move on :) I'm not sure these are salvageable in Aperture or anything else, there's just too much camera shake especially in the first two, just chalk it up to a learning experience :) When you review your shots on the LCD do you zoom in?...

SR only switches off automatically with the remote or timer functions. It has no way of knowing you are using a tripod otherwise. I did not know that, I've always switched SR of manually. As they say, never to old to learn. Not sure it is true on the K20D folks, but it is on the K-5 and K-r so proba...

If Tony Blair had been a photographer he might have said "Technique, technique, technique". It has to learnt and perfected so do not feel downhearted. You can do this in the comfort and privacy of your own home and it doesn't matter what the subject matter or conditions are; maybe in some roo...

autumnal C&C please
Is it worth going back for a second bite? C&C please, I have a couple of issues with it. Thanks

autumnal C&C please
Thanks. I was wondering if it was worth the effort when passing next. I've pepped it up a bit below. It was a bit windy and the branch was swinging back and too making the shot a bit iffy. That and the lens at 10mm. I'll try and remember to use the flash next time too.

Nantlle Slate Quarry No.1: The Cutting Shed
Thanks again. everyone. Glad you like them. I'll post some more when I get them processed. Andrew, do you know if Penrhyn Quarry is still working? Yes it is still operating, Gwyn. As far as one can tell it looks profitable as well, with lots of activity, trucks etc. Thanks for that Andrew. I'm gla...

Getting stacked.
Finally got round to having a go at stacking. The software couldn't make head nor tail of my 20 images so I had to stack them by hand in PhotoShop. Dead cranefly (and passenger, caught twice), K-x, F9, 1/6th (mirror up), table lamp lighting, tripod (no bellows or rack), SMC 100mm macro, focus move...

Getting stacked.
It's nice to see someone having a go with focus stacking- I'm not entirely sure this shot shows any advantage over shooting at F22 to 32- please see my 'Robber II' at F32, I do think you have done a great job manually stacking in PS - whenever I stack I use Helicon- no problems so far. Cheers, Gary ...

Getting stacked.
Thanks for the comments guys. Pete, I used Helicon and I'm sure it's good normally but I was almost certainly doing the shooting all wrong! Gary that's a stunning shot and indeed I'm not convinced that everything needs to be in focus anyway (big fan of selective focus) but I'm just having a go at ...

Autumn Windfall
Its raining in biblical proportions this morning so back at one of my favourite indoor locations, the kitchen table! K20d with DA 50-200 and the 360 flash off to one side fired wirelessly without any contribution from the on-board one. f13 at 68mm and 1/180th. C&C welcome.

To be honest I'm pretty disappointed with the quality of the images I'm getting from my K-7. I don't know if it's me, the camera or the lens or a combination of all...

I don;t mind at all Andrew, if the unmolested pic was that precious I wouldn't be posting it on a forum! I had a little pay before checking back after reading Gareth's comment and thinking 'yes they do look a little grey and washed out' and did these, your thoughts? Yep, still using fil...

Nantlle Quarry: Details
the fourth one ...I can't work out what it is. What lens(es) did you use on these shots? Thanks for your kind remarks, Jonathan. The fourth one is, I think, part of the armature from a smashed electric motor once used in the winding gear. The raindrops "sold" the shot to me. The lens I used ...
