Passer Domesticus
Nice sharp capture, agree about cropping it slightly. I also find the branch top left a bit distracting as it's the only one in focus.

Star wars (spider)
Nothing huge about this one, it is head left (on screen)and thats the underside, most of it's back is black.

Early in the morning...
Nice capture indeed! For me the color version does it. I like the way the image is plit on diagonaly by the red and green cast. This is also reflected in the contrats between the redish pillars and the mysterious, almost murky, green water. The focus point for me is the woden posts. The reason...

Cheers peeps :) We went back there today. Different part of the site this time ... The Officers Club and Officers Mess. Set in a few days. :) Didn't come across any asbestos today.

What a lovely shot as is. You could play with the cropping just a touch: - Trim the bottom edge so that the shadow of the duck's head is lost. - Trim the RH edge back to the tiny whirlpool in the top RH corner. This would re-position the one fully visible eye nearer the centre of the shot, and m...

Thailand
We got back from Thailand a few days ago, I spent a lot of time at the dentist, but managed to get a few shots. My wife got some great shots which I am trying to persuade her to post here! All taken with the K7 and Sigma 10-20. C+C welcome Wat Chalong Longtail Boat (a straightened...

Thailand
Ahh, the ole' dental tourist in thailand eh? :) There must be thousands of you at any one time! :D Nice set, brings back great memories. The last one is my favourite, a nice slice of life in a Thai market.

Favourites from the zoo!
Would not be looking to put watermarks on prints should I get that lucky Mike, as I know how much that would annoy me. Maybe an unobtrusive signature like artists used to do? Bit like PPG but a bit smaller. As for the photos. not keen on number one as I dislike the wire fence in the background ...

Tree Failed
Having looked at these again (with my readers on this time) I have to agree with Ken, they do look over-sharpened. How do you sharpen? As for the crops, yes you have gone too far:D the Great Tit doesn't need that second out of focus bird below it, crop it into a rectangle so to just remove the se...

Stavros Flately - St Patrick's Ball - Shanghai
Thanks Kev ! Cheers Gareth - I used the on camera pop-up diffuser when doing posed shots around the dinner tables, it worked so much better than I could even have imagined. It is a huge ballroom so even had my Metz 50 arrived in time I couldn't have bounced it off the walls / ceiling anyway. For ...

Stavros Flately - St Patrick's Ball - Shanghai
Number 2 I would have cropped him out to lose all the extra mic stands 7 superfluous detail. i think just him from the waist up would have been a lot better shot. . I like the shot the way it is, even with the gtr neck sticking into the shot. The mic stands frame him well and the surrounding paraph...

Hanging out the washing
Excellent stuff!! The trouble with these scnese is that there's probably a 100 different crops for every picture. Even the first shots you've got ... 1] letterbox of just the washing 2] shuttered window and flowers on ledge 3] the front door 4] Teh number 5569 5] The shuttered w...

Birdies with a < £20 lenny
I'm sorry to keep going on about this lenny but when the light is right (and I get the focus right) it's really very good... And I reckon there is a serious opening for these cheaper lenses on the K-r or K-5 with their high ISO capabilities. 1. 2. 3. With a bit of wire in the fore...

Focus Help!
Shot this afternoon. Disappoited to get home, see it on my screen & find I missed the bird! K7, 55-300. ISO400, 1/1000th. @ f11. Manual focus. How can I target the focus area where I want it & not on any old nearby twig!! C&C please. Coker.

Focus Help!
Well I use centre AF point point it at what I want to focus on and after AFing recompose. But I have to say it's difficult to do on a scene where there are twigs all over the place. I would be tempted to go manual focus on that situation and bracket a couple of shots slightly front focussed an...

Use MF but confirm the focus by looking at the green light. You have to be very precise... the DOF at 300mm is tiny. A KPS 1.3x Magnifier helps.

O.K., folks! In my "defence".... Manual focus. pentax x1.2 eyecup fitted, although I've never really got on with it. Green hexagon confirmed focus. f11 used to maximise DOF. Can I define more precisely on what, in the viewfinder, I am actually focusing? Thanks for constructive, helpfu...

Focus Help!
The bird was probably too small for accurate focusing with the green hexagon Roger. The branch/twig in front of it would be included within the focus area. I was getting quite a few OOF shots like this with mine. Haven't used it since I got the 150-500
