Stell structure
The thing that my eye sees straight away is the person in the pink coat walking down the path and try as I might I cannot seen to 'remove' her from the image and focus on the subject at hand! I agree with snappychappy about getting lower. You'll maximize that reflection and also make the structure ...

Fish eye taken from the ground facing up at 45 deg at the entrance. Look like the inside of a rib cage. And even better if you can double the symmetry using the water reflection. Thanks Smeggy I have the Sigma 10/20 nearest I have to a fish eye. I can see I will have to go back and take more of this...

Urbex - RAF Upwood
Did my first Urban Exploration shoot on Friday. Great fun! I'm hoping to go back a few times. I only just skimmed the surface. Apart from the hangers which are in use most of the rest of the base deserted. No need to break in you can just drive up and park in front of the old Guardroom #1 ...

Urbex - RAF Upwood
Great set of images especially the mono ones, I've always fancied derelict scenes. I'm not far from RAF Upwood do you need to get permission to go on there. Hope you don't mind could'nt resist it.:P Thanks for the kind comments folks :) Ratcatcher, no the place is open. Just drive in an...

First gig with Pentax K-R
Shot a local music festival on Saturday so a little chance to play with the Pentax K-R Love the large rear screen, the fast rsponsiveness, the 6 frames a second, faster focus & the high ISO capabilities. An excellent little package & makes me want a k-5 now.... Really low light this show, so K...

First Workshop day - last Saturday up North
I did my first photography workshop on Saturday - first year has just been spent on my own practicing and taking loads of shots so I figured it was time to get a bit of outside help. We got up to Glen Coe before dawn and had a good wander round a variety of spots before finishing at Castle Stalker f...

That's a better shot Kris the subject is in focus this time. Well caught considering the poor light.

Good idea using a 28mm close up :idea: I presume you have used a remote release. It seems to be focused on the centre of the feeder, it wouldprobably be better focused on the back of it? This is perfect for Eye-Fi so that you can watch the shots from a distance as soon as they are taken.

Ninja Moorhen
Hello all. I've been a bit quiet recently on the forum. Seem to be drowning a bit in other things. However, I have managed to take a few shots over the past couple of weeks and thought I might post this series from last sunday morning. For a change it was quite bright and I encountered three Moorhen...

Focussing fast moving subjects with long lenses is a problem all action photographers have to tackle, particularly with subjects that are darting around in random directions. It's a skill sports photographers have to master, particulalry in sports like football and rugby. Its slightly easier in trac...

Many thanks everyone for such encouraging feedback:D. I was back in the park this morning and all the Moorhens were absolutely sweetness and light! couple of coots nipping at each other though. As David suggests, I think I am just going to get out there and practice, practice, practice (I do a fair ...

Me versus the Hockley Viaduct - the rematch
The first visit had some promising shots, but the second was marred by trying to use the in-camera HDR - very frustrating. So I muttered 'I'll be back...' This time I was armed with the Sigma 10-20 as before but also the newly-acquired FA 35/2 (thanks Jon!) The 35mm feels like a medium telep...

Pentax Fish Eye at home
Knee deep in water, K7 and 10-17mm, blue sky and 100 kite surfers. These people are attracted to cameras. The front of the lens gets lots of sea water in it. That's the price of close up and personal. Back tomorrow with swimming shorts and out to waist deep. B...

Pentax Fish Eye at home
All comments appreciated. Shot composition did not enter my head. These are not set up shots. Only the last two shown were "normal" and I wanted my shadow in one shot. The gays approach at 50KPH + and it's only their timing that stops me getting trashed. The first five shots are an actual seq...

Pentax Fish Eye at home
The gays approach at 50KPH + and it's only their timing that stops me getting trashed. Oh dear, how did I write that! No wonder the spell checker didn't show an issue. The guys will not be happy about that. Just back from an afternoon waist deep with the K7 and fish eye. One near pass drown me an...
