Nantlle Quarry: Details
Gate & Rivets spot on - Cola tin - Mmmm! Maybe not. Tony I'd like another go at the Coke can: that out of focus reed is annoying. What about the pig then, eh? No rust on him (her?)

Nantlle Quarry: Details
Thanks Stuey, The focusing screen on my K100 is very clear and there's a little red light which flashes when focus is confirmed. I find this very relaible and trust it. I have quite poor eyesight having worn spectacles since I was a child but I came straight to a DSLR from manual focus 35mm SLRs,...

Nantlle Quarry: Details
Hello Andrew My K10D also shows focus confirmation with an mf lens but only on the central point - it is quite reliable but I often trust my eyesight instead :wink: I don't have an mf zoom but it just feels like I should stick with the primes. Don't worry about the ones that go wrong the p...

Do you have a style?
I agree re Camus and Lilly. And I also nominate Jaromir: I can think of several others too, but I'll keep it at that for now. No-one want to blow their own trumpet? :lol: It doesn't have to mean that you are terribly self satisfied about having your own style, perhaps just a particular type ...

Do you have a style?
Gary Hickin is one whose work immediately jumped to my mind when this topic came up. I can't believe no-ones mentioned him yet! (Typical Tim did whilst I was writing!) His still life's have a very distinct style that it seems others may have tried to mimic - without quite getting the same look. ...

First Efforts with K5
Which setting did you have the AF placed? -10 - +10, position wise IF you mean focus point its always on centre, I focus and recompose, if you mean adjustment I haven't done any adjustments yet. The robin shot has the left of the image cropped, its about half size of original. This was handheld so ...

First Efforts with K5
Gosh - top notch high ISO performance (not bad shots either:wink:). I find I am using ISO800 almost as default at this time of year on the K7 (especially as I am normally out pretty early), and having to use a fair old slug of noise reduction in PP... I don't like to go much above ISO800, but it doe...

IN THE CAN
Don, Have a play with those additional settings, and pop it back on here for a look and comparison if you like?

IMO, only the back ground is "out of context" in that it does not offer enough contrast. Overall, maybe the scene lacks enough contrast? Great subject. Best regards

IN THE CAN
Don I agree with Jon - start with a preset; either one that is bundled or downloaded (google will come up with loads). The improvement in contrast helps. For this subject, you may also want to look at a toned B&W - the "Antique Grayscale" I always find quite nice, or just play with the split to...

Apologies, some baby pics :)
As some of you know I had a new addition to the family a few weeks back. Haven't posted any pics because, well, I've been a bit tired :D Plus he isn't very photogenic at the moment due to a large patch of cradle cap right on his forehead! by , on Flickr by , on Flickr by , on...

Apologies, some baby pics :)
Look at it this way - you'll never get his time back again. He is as he is - and you are proud of him no matter what. Take some great photos of him. My second and third were definitely no oil paintings but that didn't stop me taking hundreds of photos of them. The first was a good looking baby, n...

Rotation
Actually I just had another look and it is Broke! those white specks in the water need cloning out, and if you feel like a challenge you could clone out those burned out areas on the wing tip, otherwise it gets a 10/10 I cant clone the feathers out my clone tool in my serif programe seems to be not ...

chips and salad in profile
It is better in b/w certainly, but as i-Berg suggests I think a little more of her face would have helped. If she had just brushed those front strands of hair back it would have made a difference. As it is you can't see much of her profile, just a lot of hair.

Around Newcastle with a K5
David, I've just come back to the first one and realised just how good it is. Particularly considering you were just trying out your new camera! I'd love to see a high quality print made.

Around Newcastle with a K5
Nice shots :D I have promised myself that I won't give in and buy a k5, back to decorating to take my mind of a new camera and remind myself how expensive life is :mrgreen:

Old barn.
Yes I have heard of Picasa and used it myself....I like it , but found it a bother to upload it onto other site. Now I use flicker. I did like the colour and texture of the wood , maybe a little out of focus sometime sharping does help.

Green leaf
Sophs There isnt a central focus, and perhaps a slightly non central crop would have been better. However, you are learning and every shot produces a better result. Remember that all comments on here aide and assist, and certainly there is a well of talent for us all to benefit from. At the en...

Green leaf
Agree with all of above, The exif says 125 at iso 200 and aperture 9.5? The 9.5 aperture seems odd anyway, but never mind that for now. To get the drop sharp you need a faster shutter speed, so raise the iso to 400 and or open the aperture a few stops, the background leaf does not add anything so ...

Two hummingbird images
Beautiful shots of beautiful birds I can see why you miss them. Hopefully they will be back very soon :D
