Truckfest 2011 - VOLUME 2
Really great set .. maybe even better than the first, Hard to pick a favourite .. really like the look of anticipation on the kids face in the last one though. First one made me jump back in my seat and I am going to print number 6 and put it on the fridge door.

Blown Highlights - OK or not?
I really don't like blown highlights but it normally isn't an issue with the K10D as it exposes quite conservatively (a nice way of saying underexposes). I'd rather it did that and me having to push the image slightly after. If the contrast is high then it becomes a problem very quickly. Smeggy, ...

Blown Highlights - OK or not?
Technical quality does matter, but it's only one part of the story. To think it's irrelevant just encourages sloppy working and that filters through into other parts of the equation. I don't think anyone's said technical aspects are irrelevant. But when a picture works artistically it works rega...

Blown Highlights - OK or not?
Apologies, Mark, I wasn't having a go at your PP skills, and hadn't spotted how DOIK had achieved that result. However, I still would not class this picture as "creative use of blown highlights". It just looks wrong to my eyes, more especially as it obscures some interesting detail. That's okay. I d...

I thought I'd try some black & white today.
I've decided that I tend to visualise images in black & white and then wonder why the colour version I end up with isn't actually what I wanted. So today I thought I'd try the bokeh panorama technique to get something with an old plate camera look, in black and white. I realise it isn't goin...

Just found a bit of history - the cemetery is associated with camp. I've lived here about 20 years and didn't know this stuff - there's no other trace of it now. Sorry - back to our usual programmes...

Karma', I like this and you have a nice range of tones amongst all those leaves. It doesn't matter to me how you achieved the blur 'cos it's the end result what matters, and not how you got there. :) We need to see more images that would back this single image up and tell more of a story about th...

This is a great image. I admire your dedication to put together 93 images! I'm not sure I'd have the patience. I have literally no experience with composite images, but would it be possible you could acheive a similar result with a much wider lens using a much smaller set of focus bracketed image...

Nice image karma, I like the diagonal plane of focus as it goes along thae sort of ridge and the detail visible in each of those in focus leaves around the plaque. As said would look good as a BIG print I think. This is a great image. I admire your dedication to put together 93 images! I'm no...

For some reason I've never been keen on Lens Babies. Perhaps the original junk lens concept did appeal, but the evolution into the expensive versions didn't. Perhaps I'm just stingy :wink: The image of the grave relies initially on the plane of sharp focus being very small, about an inch. The ...

Saturday's Work
On a walk with the Church's nature group this morning: 1. At the start of the walk 2a. Can't decide between these two. Like the "theatrical/dramatic" lighting in this 2b.But like the softness of this.... 3.Pink Campion (I think). Then back at home this afternoon....

A few from NYC
Terrific set - and as everyones saying the billboards are great (I like #3 almost as much as the first one) We've got 3 nights in NY end of July (family hols) so these have really got me excited, and revved up my LBA and kit plans another notch (curse you :wink:). If I can come back with images h...

Some birds from yesterday
Hi Matt The swifts are large crops 1/6 to 1/8 of the frame. It was still difficult following focus with the Siggy 150-500 handheld. I don't think a long zoom is actually needed, and I'd have been able to try for longer with the 55-300 before my arms gave up :wink:

New forest pony ... and friends.
Ahhh, but did you take a photo? :) It's pretty hard to take a photo with your back to the subject ... as you are legging it through the bushes. :D

Atalanta #34
Thanks Alien', thanks techno'. techno', that would be a 'sound' idea, thanks. I'll get back on this and have another go at 'burning' in some slight suggestion of cloud cover. Although, you know what I may do, i'll go and re-visit the place and take another shot. It's not far from where I live an...

It's improved, IMO - it seems to be easier to focus on the statue now.

IR photos
Hi All Quite a while ago I bought a slightly broken secondhand K10d from Mike-p which I got converted to infrared. It was winter by the time it was ready for use so I've only really tested it indoors or in the garden. This morning I finally checked the focus correction and headed out to Wimbled...
