Bring me sunshine . . .
A lovely photo. Do you have an almond blossom festival? I know they do in La Palma, but it is a movable feast depending on when the almond blooms. Mike - moving back to the sun?

Bring me sunshine . . .
Mike - moving back to the sun? Nope, just visiting for a wek or so. Another 3 years, 4 months, 3 days until we can move back. :(

Bring me sunshine . . .
Another 3 years, 4 months, 3 days until we can move back. :( Not that you are counting the days or anything :D. Peter - both photos are stunning and look sharp to me, though I prefer the composition of the first one..

First images from my Pentax A 50mm f/2.8 Macro
Excellent first shots. The second one is a rather surreal! I'd crop the left and right closer to match the top and bottom and try and pull back the bright areas a little more. K.

Sigma 150-500. First sunny day
These are great! it's amazing what a difference a bit of sunshine can make. I especially like the snow buntings. I think it's the attitude of the front bird staring right back, and that big block of blue all around - very nice indeed. None of them look too shabby to me. How do find using the 150-500...

Froggy would a wooing go!
Early arrivals, still a little dozy from their winter hibernation, patrol the garden pond in anticipation of the annual 'spawn-fest' :mrgreen:. An experiment in the dark and drizzle using dual remote flash positioned around the pond. Manual focus (with the aid of a torch)/exposure with K20D and 50-2...

Pentax 35mm f2.4
If you have shot in RAW then you really ought to manage to drag quite a bit of detail back into those highlights. Doesn't his fur look good? Great lens. I'm jealous...

I wandered lonely as a cloud....
This one was with my Tamron 70-300, on its macro setting. I knew that would throught the background ( my wall) out a little better than the kit lens. However, I didn't want the DoF too small as I knew it'd be hard to keep the flowers in focus. I'm hoping for sun tomorrow afternoon and I'll set up...

spring has sprung
Glorious colours and I love the soft focus effect. Being really fussy, I'd move the daffodil a little to the left to biudge the gap between the crocuses. You should be very pleased with this.

Shy model!
Very well put, Don. Your last sentence hits the nail on the head for me. for portraits, I always apply touch ups to a new layer... then when finished pull back the opacity to allow some of the original flaws to show through...... that to me always looks the most realistic.

Shy model!
removing blemishes etc - that should be done following a discussion between the subject and the photographer - in my very humble opinion of course ;) Dead right IMO too, but in this case there was no ongoing relationship between the tog and the model, she gave him permission to take her picture and...

Norwegian Sunrise
It's a lighthouse, the same one that gets deluged just afterwards. And the Chimping German. I liked that one too. I had to wait for ages until they'd all got off the plinth where they all stood arms widespread while someone took their photo - a bit like the Japanese do, and he was the last one - ...

Some nice shots in the gallery. 30 something years since I went to Bergen as a kid. Always wanted to go back.

Ahhh, those bring back memories of happy times. Oh to be an undergraduate once more, rather than the poor sap who has to try and hammer some knowledge into them. K.

First Upload! Mums Orchid
Not bad at all. Would have taken a step back (or zoomed out a bit) to get that top petal in view. Thanks for sharing!

First Upload! Mums Orchid
That was shot with your tamron Kevin. It was lit from below with a household lamp, so possible the light would have greened through the leaves? I have another version with a quick auto colour adjust which looks better as the background is darker. Will upload another from a few inches further back.
