I'm back (kind of) with a little guessing game
I wanted a boat, my wife wanted a house. Got the house :( Nah, just kidding, house is good too.... Whatever happened to compromise? You should have got a house-boat. G

I'm back (kind of) with a little guessing game
Houses are OK, but the same view everyday gets a bit boring... and you don't get kingfishers flying past the window! I don't miss rolling Calor gas bottles for 1/4 mile along the towpath, or getting stuck in ice miles from the nearest pump-out though!

Houseboats come with all mod cons nowadays and fixed services too. I'd quite fancy one but for the hauling it out of the water to clean it's bum every few years. My son has a boat, lives on it, works on it and works on it too. Luckily it earns more than it eats, just.

I like the two pipe shots and the waterfall. Very nice. I love pictures which show sharp focus and limited depth of field.

Hello again everyone Mr Lazarette seems to have opened a can of worms - I just love the tangents these threads can take - no seriously I appreciate it :D I still think the good Doctor Orloff maybe slightly phsychic :lol: - even for something that follows a certain set of rules which my handyw...

Forgot to comment on the photos :oops::oops: Me too. The last works best for me. I like the way the falls splay out, and I like the very modest amount of blur. Much better than the cliched waterfall shot where everything looks airbrushed. G

... I wonder if Stuey's son has been over to G's gallery to check out the picture being discussed? :lol: I agree with G about the waterfall, going in a little closer so it's all about water and rock would have been a nice idea though. Good stock pigeon photo too!

Thanks again Guys :D Georges latest gallery shot somewhat steels the show :D - nice pic. Rhys would look at that given a chance, his Grandma caught him sneaking a look at page 3 of his brothers paper and giggling etc - she asked me what I would do about it but did not like my 'encourage him' ...

Four Candles
I think the soft focus suits the subject very well.

Its watching me
It is a good pose, but the poor focus means it can't be called a good photo. With any animal, including humans, the eyes almost always need to be in focus because it is the eyes that we look at. The terminator is also right to mention the distracting foreground leaf. Tight cropping will get ri...

So just what can a K5 do? A hell of a lot....
Nice shot, Bret. As you say, very sharp with excellent focus.

Wild Goose - Anser Anser
With a wider aperture setting, you would have been able to throw the background out of focus more. The branches and twigs distract attention away from the bird. That said, the goose is well lit and sharp, with plenty of detail in the feathers.

Wild Goose - Anser Anser
I have to agree with iBerg. The bird is nice and sharp with good detail. However, the background is a little distracting, and would be thrown more out of focus using a wider aperture. I don't know at which distance the image was captured, but according to my DOF calculator, at f/5.6 you will h...

55-300mm Shot;s
Very nice Stephen - especially the first crocus IMHO I bought the same lens on impulse a couple of months back when SRS had them on special offer - and have to say I have been extremely impressed with the performance - in fact so much so that I am seriously considering selling my trusty 18-250 wh...

Hockley Viaduct (ruined)
I've been back and tried some things with a bit more care in the framing to get true symmetry... it was later than last time so the light was on the other side of the structure. I was also trying the in-camera HDR hand-held, which sort of works but with a 10mm lens the auto-alignment is a bit way...

First attempt at birds
Woo hoo - more nice birdie dudies :lol: Now I am no expert but I will try to help with constructive comments, these are not meant to be criticisms. I have not opened the photo's and enlarged them or checked the exif info for camera, lens, iso info etc so I am taking a bit of a guess so apolog...

I take it back re the woodpigeon crop... I think my internet connection froze and left the image only 3/4 downloaded last night, so I was missing the bottom quarter - it looks fine now!!
