In the reptile house (7 pics)
:DI loved number 1 and 3. The clarity of numer one, with its colours drew me in. It was pleasent to look at. I thought that numer 3 was like a photo from the National Geographic Magazine. It was the creative way you pinned the focus on the creature...and had the forground and backgound blurre...

Greedy Seagull - C&C's welcome
No. 5 should be a caption competition. :D The seagull at the back is saying "Just watch, he'll choke on that".

Pentax HDRs
On my earlier stuff, I used my Sony Alpha A350, which is quite limited when it comes to AEB (maximum +/- 0.7EV, normal+under+over), the results can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelcullendesign/sets/72157625495062657/ I did get a few nice shots, like these: ...

Thanks chaps, think I might go back this afternoon ;P Is that PP article available online, Gareth? You should! Excellent set of pics. I love the first two. Especially number one. great curves! A fish eye would be cool for that two :)

Great set mate, love this kind of gritty urban style. No1 is stand out for me, framing and comp do the business. Three also stands out. I would be tempted to crop a third to half the water out to give more focus on the wall and light shaft.

My first K-5 shots
Took the new K-5 out for the first time today. The lens I ordered still hasn't arrived so I only have a SMC Pentax-A 35-70mm F4 which I picked up for peanuts on ebay. Anyway I'm still learning and getting used to the camera but I managed to get a few shots I quite like. I've actually quite enjoyed h...

A bit of sea kayaking
Cheers for the comments. I'm actually wondering if the focus is a little off after looking through them again?

There's always a bit of hit-and-miss with focussing action shots which is why it's good to have the camera on drive and focus on continuous. The second picture is the most successful from a focussing point of view, it looks pretty damn sharp to me. David

A bit of sea kayaking
I was using AF.C 5 spot AF in fps priority but I think they were moving slow enough that I ahould have used focus priority. I will do some testing with the AF adjustment on the 100-300mm to see if it is off a little.

If you were using 5-spot AF, perhaps the focus locked on one of the spots near where you wanted it, but not quite exactly on target?

If you were using 5-spot AF, perhaps the focus locked on one of the spots near where you wanted it, but not quite exactly on target? Yup, I looked in Photome and it seemed to favour the yellow jacket. This is where the Pentax AF still needs to be improved .. focus tracking is just not as good as ...

Oh fishy, fishy, fishy!
K-5, SMC Pentax-A 35-70mm F4. C&Cs welcome, as folks say around here. As I'm a beginner I need to start getting some criticism. Anyway, here's another thing the K-5's high ISO capability is good for - photographing fish in dimly lit aquaria. It's still pretty hard to get a good shot though; th...

People on the street, episode 12.5
#1 and #3 are great. I'd do some spot exposure boosting on the piggy back peeps on #2 as it doesn't stand out well.

People on the street, episode 12.5
I like the first one, though like you I find the the top of the hat being missing slightly annoying too. Number 3 I think would look quite interesting cropped to the top of his waist, with the girl on his back not in the shot, and a bit cropped off each side, with her left shoe cloned out, though it...

People on the street, episode 12.5
Thanks for the comments! :) Nice Tim shots, especially number three - were you chasing them??? :D Haha, yes I suppose I was! I was just walking along the street with my camera, so I couldn't quite believe my luck when not 2m in front of me this girl jumps on her chap's back. He started out joggin...

bugs return
A few days after the biggest cyclone in Queensland history and the bugs are back still a bit shaky after the ordeal (2 in 5 years now) makes you wonder how the birds manage as they are still here.
