Birds and Depth of Field
DoF scales never seem to work for me, my lenses must defy the laws of physics:roll: I have trouble getting one bird in focus never mind two:P No1 is a good shot, nice detail in that eye.

Lamb jumping - Clone or not?
Took this earlier this evening just as the light was fading, was a bit of a lucky catch, right place right time etc. but the fence is really off putting. Whilst it is simple enough to crop out the fence on the right, the fence at the back is really annoying. So decided to ha...

Lamb jumping - Clone or not?
Lamb jumping - Clone or not? I do not condone cloning Lambs, whether they be sleeping, standing, running or jumping. If that lamb is a clone, I cannot tell...:lol: photoshop job doesn't look bad at all.... a little rough around the back of the neck and tip of ear, but otherwise well done.

Flower and insect
The coulour, focus and the water drops on the left side of the flower make this a very nice image.

My first go at Macro
emmm, nope, don't have a flash setup either! I've just been going handheld and hoping to have enough natural light and go with catch in focus! (pathetic way, works sometimes though). I might get a flash unit when I decide that I'll do some proper macro work.

Angkor Wat - Cambodia
Highly recommended! I will go back again one day, there is so much to see. Couple more from my walk around. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. Number 10 and 11 show some of the rebuilding that is going on. They are just making 3d puzzles on the ground, trying to piece it all back...

Angkor Wat - Cambodia
Yes, unfortunately we only had a 2 week trip and wanted to see Cambodia and Thailand, so time was tight. Will go back one day and spend more time there. Have cleaned up the pond in the first image;

Ducklings and more!
Thanks for the kind words all. Kinda lucked out with the backgrounds, but know that I know how, will be trying more often as they definately stand out well. The 'bottoms up' shot was one of those lucky moments that was seen out of the corner of the eye so had to work quickly so that I didn't ...

Bugs 'n' Stuff
Shot some bugs around the garden today, then had a bonus as SWMBO got ready for bed... a huge house spider in the bath. Took one shot of it with just the 31mm tube and the 50mm to get him/her all in the frame, then took another with the full 65mm of tubes to get a full face shot. The only problem wi...

Trees and woods
My first fumbling attempts at landscape photography seem to have focused exclusively on trees, so I thought I should post for some C&C. First the pics, then some of my thoughts. All comments / criticism / suggestions for improvement very welcome - please don't hold back! 1) Yellowslacks (f6.3, 1...

Spidey spidey....
My first time trying macro on a live organism that might move voluntarily. These are all shot hand held and I was standing on a spinning chair so I'm aware about safety as well when I shot it, as the creature was also half way up the wall!! I tried to focus on its eyes but can't seem to do it, I've...

Spidey spidey....
Adrian, you need two things: 1). patience & 2). a cut-down, 1 litre plastic milk bottle! Take one milk bottle, plastic, other ranks, for the use of. Cut off the top, down including the moulded handle arrangement, leaving a square-section tube, open at one end. In one side, near the open en...

Subway platform
Taken on a jaunt around a part of Hong Kong yesterday, using Gillbod's crazy . I thought the vintage film look suited the futuristic platform (okay, perhaps not entirely futuristic, but it looks a little futuristic when it's out of focus :D). As usual it was the red shoes that caught my eye. Perhap...

Subway platform
Haha yes I only noticed that green balloon after uploading it to Flickr. I think it's partly caused by the reflection of one of those green signs, but who the hell knows? :D Dr M I went a bit greenish after trying a few different preset white balances, and I liked this one the most :) Nothing dee...

Lotherton Bird Garden
Went to the It's a great place for a few hours on a nice sunny day. Not a massive place, and forget the deer park, unless you own the Bigma. The bird garden contains some beautiful specimens though. A lot are in cages and the wire presents some difficulty when shooting. I took the Sigma 70-200 F2....

Lotherton Bird Garden
I think you've done well with throwing the cages out of focus Stephen, these are quite nice although the whites looks to be a bit blown, not easy with white plumage, personally I think the K5 has problems with whites and retaining detail, I had situations where I've really had to underexpose to get ...
