Lady GaGa
Can finally put some Lady GaGa photos up for your perusal C & C always welcome. we got to shoot songs 1, 4 & 9 so hence lots of costume changes... Beautiful lighting from the Beeb technicians made it a dream to shoot. Possibly the only chance to photograph Lady GaGa from a photo pit rather than a...

A few from my stroll yesterday
Hello All I have not posted anything for a while so here's a few from yesterday, when I found myself free for an hour or so :D. My m42 Tokina 300mm F5.5 was my relic of choice once again. C&C Welcome I was so taken watching the little ones learning form their mum I nearly forgot to ta...

Maldon
My favourite is no.4. Ems. It's nicely composed and pleasingly sharp. The shot of the lane disappearing into the distance is also good. Some of the others have a filmic, vintage feel due to the soft focus and low contast effects.

Door handle is the way the best shot IMO. but it also looks way out of focus.

Door handle is the way the best shot IMO. but it also looks way out of focus. Looking at it again it does seem way out of focus, hmmm was using the 55mm f1.4 and think i was just a bit to close and wobbly :D

Door handle is the way the best shot IMO. but it also looks way out of focus. It isn't the focus that is the problem. The JPEG compression is clearly visible as squares all over the photo :( I Like 5 :D

That's oversharpened - you can't really 'fix' an out of focus shot like that (although FocusMagic does a reasonable job)... Rose2 is nice though, and sharp in the right places!

My 15 minute challenge
Set the lens to F/1.4 and auto focus on something at an angle. take a picture. you can then see if it's front focussing or back focussing. Then adjust accordingly in parameter #26 ( last page of menu system. I normally take several shots of a few different things to double check

My 15 minute challenge
Was the test conducted on a tripod? With the last shot it appears to have back focused no it was handheld 3-4 foot away from subject. Yes on the last shot I set the camera to 1 centre focus point and aimed at the back pen and it focused on that. 1st shot was aimed dead centre with all 11 focus point...

Do the test again but put it on a tripod with a cable release, infra red release or self timer and redo the test. Then you have conclusive evidence whats going on. If it is back focusing then you can adjust for that in the menus so its all good :D Question - if all 11 focus points are selected and t...

Yes just use single centre focus. tripod isn't necessary to be honest, and don't have the batteries quite so close along the perpendicular plane

A couple for the football fans
Good capture. Barcelona were beyond superb, no team on the planet could have stayed with them - probably the best team I have ever seen (hmm maybe Liverpool of late 70's are close) ;) We may have surrendered most national titles to United this season (KK will get it back) but happily we still ...

Sodden Dunnock in a flap!
I agree with Fatspider. There is good focus on the bird and nice wing blur catching the action, so I reckon you could crop a bit tighter, but it's a great catch. I always find find it so hard to get good shots of these small critters. Nice one

A few I been playing around with today
The two doggie shots are lovely. :) Were you holding up a treat to take shot #2 ? That's pretty much the post my dogs make when they're begging/waiting :) #3 of the two doggies facing up is a superb moment caught! - Just a note on the composition ... You obviously inadvertently cropped off th...

Few from Monaco Apr 2011
Ah the memories come flooding back. 30 odd years ago I was back-packing around Europe and by the time I arrived in Monaco I was totally skint, like less than a Pound, and so resorted to sleeping on beaches. Well of course that's tough to do in Monaco with a huge harbour, no sand and the police w...
