Hoopoe - at last !
Thank you to everyone for your comments - it seems the Hoopoe is a popular bird and IMO with good reason, it is unusual, lovely and that crest is wonderful when it shows it off ! So thanks for taking the time to say you enjoyed them ; Snappyhappy, Alan (you lucky Sod ! Common as muck huh !), Mat,...

Whitby Goth Meet March 2011
Well as mentioned in the meet thread the weather was dire and not as many Goths braved the elements, It wasn't a waste of time though especially as I spotted Danni and boyfriend Luke crossing the road towards the back end of the day, Danni was one of my favorite models from last October and her Imag...

Whitby Goth Meet March 2011
Just got home from a day in Whitby, you guys that went to last weeks Goth Meet can now give yourselves a pat on the back for picking the best weekend, today there were very few people in costume, I would hazard a guess at 1/4 or even less than the numbers last week, and photographers were even rarer...

Whitby Goth Meet March 2011
My thoughts on the apparent lack of goths - as a part time resident of Whitby, the Goth weekend has changed this year. There has been a bit of a split with the WGW and Alt festival as well as Whitby trying to encourage it to become a week long event rather than a condensed weekend. Reading the...

Planes, but no London Plane...
I was struck by this image, and I rather like it. Instantaneously it made me think of the American flag (red/white stripes and blue section) and then, like Pentaxophile, I thought of a pagoda - especially with the strong vertical trunk of the tree. It's slightly deceptive too because on first viewin...

Violet Wild Crocus
Lovely back-lighting. I would have moved the dead leaf/piece of grass which is in front of the crocus stem. K.

Violet Wild Crocus
thanks to all. i'll try to explain what that thing on the left could be, according to what a nature expert said to me. It could be the deposit of a worm which eat until it fulfill it's stomach and then start to throw it out from it's back. hope you understand what i said :D

Shadows and textures
I would have walked right past everyone of those, except perhaps the arches and railings shot. Good stuff Kris. Literally thousands of photographers did walk straight past the first two images at Focus. If I hadn't been worrying about my train I would have taken a few more. K.

Stitching in the kitchen...
It rained this afternoon, so I tried some stitching using the Samyang 85mm at f/1.4 and the free Autostitch application. The first one consists of about 20 shots on the 85mm, the second one used 35 shots. A single shot with that lens at that range gets just one of the bottles in, b...

Stitching in the kitchen...
The first image is terrific :D I have the Samyang as well and have just started playing with it. Did a little bit with differential focus, but still working on that. You have convinced me to play with it even more 8)

Venice in monochrome
The last roll of film came back from Ilford today. For some reason it took the Post Office 10 days to deliver the film to Ilford so I was getting a bit concerned! All images were shot with my LX and Rollei Retro 80S film, a variety of primes (one of K24/2.8, M28/3.5, K35/3.5, K50/1.2 or M100/2.8 )...

A Bit More Limoges
I had to visit Limoges again yesterday. I like photography, it turned my 30 minute walk back to the station into four hours. I've used the Lightroom 300 preset which I discovered yesterday from the Venice thread on some of these (warning some converging verticals):

It is that time of year again.
Focus looks a bit in front of the Sunday lunch Kris.

It is that time of year again.
Focus looks a bit in front of the Sunday lunch Kris. More than likely. I am still not all that used to heavy long lenses like the K300/4. Even the split screen makes focusing a pain although it is easier on my LX/MX/KX etc. than the K20D. I'm not bothered about the possibly improved IQ a "full fr...

Big cats, and a horse
Great set tim, number 1 gets my vote aswell but think they're all up there! I also love number 3, the DOF is fantastic and i like the fact the focus point isn't quite where'd you expect it to be:D

Surprising Discovery - Raccoon Dogs in Shanghai !
Wild mammals in Shanghai - wonderful ! Today I went back to my favourite birding haunt - Shanghai Zoo - to see if I could find the Hoopoes again (no luck - too many people as tomorrow starts a public holiday). Instead I amazingly found 3 Raccoon Dogs, happily living in the wooded areas of the zoo. ...
