Hoar Frost II: West Coast and Rare
Thanks everyone. It was a magical day and, as I said, very rare here. I really needed a selection of lenses or a very high quality zoom (I wish!) because there was such a variety of shots. Usually I don't mind which one I fit because having just one perspective is fun and makes me think about compo...

Hoar Frost II: West Coast and Rare
Thanks for all the advice about the gloves. I've been using some skiing-gloves, very padded. It's a tribute to the ergonomics of the K10 (no, I've still not got over it) that I could switch on, set shutter speed, exposure with green button and focus manually and trip the shutter albeit clumsily. Som...

More On The Tyne
3 is good, no doubt, but I keep coming back to look at 2 again. Clever shot, love the strong foreground frame and the two framed bridges in the background.

more "winter"
Number 4 is a good one Bret, I feel like I'm driving! Oh I suppose it could be improved, perhaps another car up ahead skidding round the corner :D but back in the real world it has plenty of drama already. Very good!

Winter in Durham
I quite like "winter light", although I feel as though it is missing something in the composition. I would have preferred that it was taken from slightly further back so that the wall front right would feel part of the composition rather than an obstacle the would not go away. One detail the keeps c...

winter in monochrome
Ah my dream camera of a few years back. Actually, more than a few, but still.. Very nice hsots, Kris. Lovely rich monochrome. This film seems to make great scans. My favourite is the frosted strand.

Some recent Pentax film Images!
First few taken with a Spotmatic F with a Super Takumar 55mm F2 (Non SMC). Film was Kodak 400CN B+W. Lovely camera but I'm still not quite nailing the exposure correctly. Sometimes not quite getting the focus either especially in lower light! Just need more practice in really looking at the the focu...

Whitby Revisited
The quality is really something imho for me The Street Scene is first class colours and really nice and sharp. The Sea and the boats are brilliant really are ,good job this isnt a judgement call although the two guys would steal it for me all day the Boats the Goose and the B&W but what a good stan...

Some November Rally shots (my first posting)
Regarding slower shutter speed attempts the 2 shots below were forced on me by dusk falling last June at Ypres. ME Super with the Pentax prime 50mm f2 lens and 2x telecon, iso800 lumo film. Setting on auto with app wide open gave a shutter speed of 1/250, good enough with the panning. Image u...

Caveman
When I got home to look over the photos I was a little taken back when I saw the guy in the photo. I could not remember seeing him in the shot but there he is bang in the middle. Ian

Erddig
I thought it's high time I posted some photos on here, but I haven't taken any for a while :oops: Anyhow, we went to a Christmas fayre at Erddig House last weekend. I tried some general shots of the shoppers, but wasn't happy with them. Then I went back to more comfortable teritory ( no people! ...

Erddig
number 2 is a little unsual and yet still interesting. I never comment on the technical side, one look at my flickr gallery shows why there is no room for such comments from me :| With number two I was trying to make something of nothing really. It was just before we wnet home and I coud see...

A walk with my brothers dog
We headed out in the snow with my brothers 7 month old Labrador. She loved it. It was bitterly cold put she performed admirably! Here she is getting set to pounce... She loved us throwing snowballs for her. Chasing them down and burying her face in the snow. Once or twice she actually l...

A walk with my brothers dog
Thanks for all of the comments... much appreciated. They were really hard shots to get and a lot of taking gloves off and putting them back on again to adjust settings, change lenses etc... RR, i appreciate what you're saying about the blue cast, but that's actually as it was on the day. There wa...

JVS: First Pentax shots/posts
Hi Vern, these are a good start, they are well composed I think you do indeed have the eye :) Just some minor adjustment needed to your shooting style! A good rule of thumb to remember is that to avoid camera shake your shutter speed should be close to the reciprocal of your focal length. Both of...

JVS: First Pentax shots/posts
The Kestral is difficult to comment on because of the large crop, the fault here probably lies with the lack of a suitable lens, I bet I would have struggled with the Bigma to get close to this little beauty. You shot at 1/400 and ISO 200 but at f5.6, upping the ISO to 400 or even 800 would have got...

JVS: First Pentax shots/posts
Hello JVS As mentioned by Gareth the technical stuff has been mentioned already - good advice by those in the know in my opinion. I have not checked the exif data of your shots so I do not know what lens you have used but the mention of consumer zoom does not bode that well in terms of sharpn...

JVS: First Pentax shots/posts
Lots of food for thought -thanks. One thing I pick up here, I think, is to try for a bit more depth of field for sharper focus. Centre-weighted focusing can lead to too small an area of the photo being sharp - is this correct? (leaving aside any camera movement blur for the moment) Hence suggestio...

Friday Walk
Thanks, TT, for your comments which are most kind & the nudges in the right direction. I've just printed that "final" result & it's come up a bit "grey" all over! I'll up the contrast & get back to you all. What a Team! Coker.
