Two hummingbird images
The first one is the best in my opinion. The focus is just spot on. Cracking image.

Two hummingbird images
First off, thank you everyone so much for the comments. I had no idea that a New World species would be enjoyed so by people in other parts of the world. The 2nd for me Marc - there's such a strong relationship between the bird and the flower! Thank you i-Berg and it's very interesting to watch t...

Beautiful shots of beautiful birds I can see why you miss them. Hopefully they will be back very soon :D Too much time - they return in April...:( Thank you Algernon. Both awesome. Nothing else to say really :D I guess I slightly prefer number 1, better balance to the composition and I lik...

The first one is the best in my opinion. The focus is just spot on. Cracking image. I'll dig up a crop of that image if time permits and post it. Thank you very much for the kind words! Wow - I like both :D I can't fault either :D Thanks, but I can always fault the subject for non-compliance.....

Tre Ceiri
Tre Ceiri is the remains of an Iron Age hill fort, dating back to around 78 AD and stands at 485m. The remains of 150 stone huts can still be clearly seen. From the top there is a 360 degree viewpoint, looking down the Lleyn Peninsula, Snowdonia, Anglesey and Caernarfon Bay. Some of these v...

Taken yesterday ? environmental portrait
Good comments from Tim and Colin and I would add that its a pity you've chopped off his finger tips. But its a good candid grab shot and I'm sure if you went back he'd be happy to pose again so you could include his Apple logo and fingers. David

Taken yesterday ? environmental portrait
Well - it's the final night . I've enjoyed working on that one . In a way I'm not worried what he thinks about it - but this particular pic has given me back a lot of the confidence I lost .

Few shots with the K-5 and Bigma.
Loving that seagull Mike. Now the million dollar question - was getting in-focus birds in flight quicker/easier/better? :)

The Bigma is really not the best lens to test the AF speed with, even on the 7D I borrowed a while back with the new HSM OS Bigma it wasn't that fast. Overall with the 60-250mm and 12-24mm I found an improvement over the K-7 (which was better than the K20D/K10D). Glad to hear it! Does improvement ju...

Wetlands Centre in Barnes (8 images: Warning: May contain Ducks)
Thanks again everyone. Oggy, it's funny you should mention the WWT at Arundel as I have a mind to head down there for a day if I can manage a day off on a nice day... Andrew, you are right about the lens in this case. I think 200mm or 300mm would be the shortest lens I would fit really, as mo...

This morning at Caernarfon Castle
Nice shots and lovely colours but I would have preferred some depth. i.e in the first shot have the front boats in focus and that which is behind progressively OOF. At the moment the castle and boats are competing for attention. Large watermarks are not nice. :)

OK as the general consensus seems to be that colour is best here, I went back to the originals and I think you may all be right. So here they are: As always, thanks for looking and commenting.

I would have tidied up if I knew you were visiting, maybe I should have put the iron away or cleaned the cooker :lol: Back to being serious - great shots again :D Near where I live is a jaguar scrap yard with many an old jag - I have often considered spending an hour or two there taking a few ...

Lovely shots Andrew, as usual. The birdcage I actually found unsettling, esp. the colour version of it. The shot of the cast collar on the downpipe, and the timber beneath it is a real look back. My favourite though is the view out of the broken window into the sunshine. Hopefully you're act...

Gare Du Nord (concert)
Well i'm just back from Gare Du Nord. Very nice concert and i had permission to take my camera. First shot with the DA*50-135 at a tribune on the side (eye level) and later sat on the edge of the podium with the DA*16-50. Shot around 200 photos in raw so will upload 8 to 10 shots here tomorrow ...

Gare Du Nord (concert)
ok some feedback, whilst most are well exposed you need to watch microphones covering faces, the group shot for example if you had moved to the right a touch would have revealed the centre persons face. the photo of the back of the ladies head doesn't do much for me. i am guessing you are usin...

Gare Du Nord (concert)
Thank you Cabster. Yeah microphones were a big problem, there were around 5 place at the front of the podium. In all honesty I've no idea what I did focus wise. It's set on spot though but I've manual focus some and others where focused recomposed but that isn't the problem I believe. What you...

Delivery Man
So ... lately I've been experimenting with hyperfocal shooting with my Tamron 17-50 set on 17mm and f5.6 and focussed to 3m. This results in everything more than 2m away from me being in focus, which is handy for shooting from the hip. This was on a gloomy day, in TAv mode and centre-weighted met...
