Shanghai Auto Show - The Models
Some eye candy indeed. I note that there are a few soft focus shots here. No's. 4, 9,10, 11,14,20 & 21 appear to be not so sharp? Did you PP any shots? I'm curious as to why you didn't use the hi ISO capability of the K5. Number 20 with some PP Best regards

Shanghai Auto Show - The Models
Thanks Yves ! I appreciate you commenting K10D. Yes, a couple are soft - probably about 1/2 were shot at f2.8 as in all cases I was trying to get isolation, however if you got close you were jostled (I tried but it really bugged me !), stand well back (as I did in many cases - maybe 10-15m back)...

Duck fight!
Hello all. With the arrival of spring and the breeding season for a lot of birds there have been some great behaviours on show as (generally) the males of the species get a bit feisty with one another (and with the females) in a pheremone-fuelled frenzy. I posted a thread of some Moorhens tussling a...

Up and over!
Ha ha OK. A tip for this type of shooting (that you may know already), use MF or AF-S (and keep the shutter button half-depressed) and pre-focus on the top of the fence and just wait for the jump - most of your shots will be in focus ! I believe you when you say that one was anyway !!

Winchester Cathedral, first shots on Tamron 17-50.
I really like number one with that excellently handled back-lighting. K.

A few from Kirkby Lonsdale
I think number 3 is excellent. I assume it's ripples on the water surface causing the bands of light on the rocks?:) either way it looks great to me:) Regards Yep, it is the light on the surface of the water. I had Don's advice in mind about out of focus shos and bokeh. I tried this out of focus...

First Airshow with a K-5 and a Sabre
Regarding the performance of the K-5, I could see the AF points really working to track the aircraft and I kept more of the images than I deleted which was an improvement although I know some of that comes down to panning technique as well. I had the menu setting on AF-C and focus priority and the ...

Winchester Cathedral second visit - 85mm
Following on from the trip to the Cathedral with the Tamron 17-50 I thought I'd take the 85mm and the Sigma 10-20mm for some more exploration. Unfortunately the Sigma shots except one are all slightly out of focus :( Using the Samyang requires Manual Focus, and I'd accidently left it in that m...

Winchester Cathedral second visit - 85mm
(karma mechanic-Selling England by the Pound-The Battle of Epping Forest). That's me! Thanks for the comments - I plan to return to the Cathedral another day with the Sigma 10-20mm. The focus problem was caused by me having the camera in 'Focus Priority' so needing to switch to MF for the Samy...
