Trying very hard
thanks! Looks like i can't be lazy just shoot. haha Will look into some books. Paul, do you have any suggestions for boos? And Karl, i personally like the rust and the red vs. the sky too. But really no chance to go back and have another shot, not in a short time anyway!

Bokeh panorama: My first attempt!
Read about this technique a while back, but only just inspired to have a try after having seen 'Karma Mechanic's excellent recent efforts (plus I just recently managed to pick up a mint Sigma 105mm F2.8 lens!) Had a short drive out last weekend and parked up...chose my viewpoint and fired off 58 ...

Bokeh panorama: My first attempt!
it may work... but... the time involved vs shooting at 24 mm, making a quick mask.. the applying a gradient blur.. me thinks too much trouble... until... you need to shoot it for a billboard, then going back to the Bokeh Panorama technique with high res files actually looks appealing if you cannot r...

Bokeh panorama: My first attempt!
Thanks for that Karma... Must confess, whilst it is easy to start with the central 'static' subject and taking the shots in a (sort of) spiral fashion, it did get a bit haphazard towards the outer edges and found that there were big missing gaps! :cry:...I had to clone a bit of sky back in to get t...

Bokeh panorama: My first attempt!
I clicked on the link and admit I'm completely underwhelmed ... The longleat shot looks like a really bad case of front focus! :lol: Vic.

Just great! I'm sure it's to do with the squirrel and not the photography, but don't his back feet look as if they should not belong to him. Or is it just me?

More red squirrels
Thanks for comments guys. Stub, these were taken with the Sigma 150-500 at focal lengths between 400 and 500. I did also shoot a lot at less than 300mm, and there were some I missed as they were too close for the lens to focus, if I had a spare body, I'd take my 16-45, or 28-80 too next time. Bar...

Leeds
Took a few shots down Whitehall Road near the station if anyone knows it. Leeds has become very photogenic with all the recent building work. I hope to get back and shoot other areas - there is a lot to go at. Anyway, comments most welcome.... Fire Escape Building 1 Building 2 ...

Bloody ell, Whitehall Road, that brings back memories.

Fire escape is a solid image although perhaps a little tightly cropped for my taste. Nice idea in the last one but I think the light hasn't helped you. I find the clouds in Building 1 too bright, although it's good in all other respects. I agree that Building 2 is too noisy. Building 3 is...

Thanks very much for your comments chaps. And, yes it's good to be back. Just upgraded to a K10 from a K100 and it has really got me back into photographing again. I had the camera set at ISO 200 for all shots. Building 2 is cropped from an original immage twice it's size. Would this create gra...

Inspired by an Ozy
Out n about today and shot some of these fellows. K7, Pentax A 70-210mm f/4. Enjoyed using the manual focus. Shooting into skylight was a change. Best regards

The 3rd one is out of focus, shame.

Personally I think the dandelion from below is very good. Normally, very bright (?blown) highlights would be a problem but in this case they contribute to the shot. I would be tempted to clone out (or blur) the odd bits of grass at the bottom of the frame which seem to be more in focus and a littl...

Thanks for your comments, Kris. I like the shot because the top yellows merge into the light b/g. My RAF was, from what I remember, a not-expensive purchase about 10-12 years ago & was resurrected from the drawer for a play this afternoon. It's not a Pentax one (no markings at all) & laterally r...
