Jay with Sigma 150-500
I think we may have to watch that we don't get too overconfident that the SR is doing better than it is. I got that way with a Sony camcorder and went back to doing shaky movies :mrgreen:

More Mountain Bikes
1 and 2 don't do much for me, awkward crop in 1 and important bits too soft in 2. On the other hand 3 is a marvellous shot, fantastic expression and great focus. 4 is pretty good too, great action well captured, just a pity he is slightly lost against the background of spectators.

More Mountain Bikes
Came back to see your response, and was struck again by what a great photo number 3 is. Seriously! Great 3D effect, fantastic colour, perfect sense of movement. I think any pro photographer would have been delighted to get that.

Slide film, steam trains, and an SP500
The GWR steam railway had a steam and ale festival a couple of weekends ago. In keeping with the oldtimer spirit, I brought the Pentax SP500 with a roll of Boot's prepaid slide film. It's ISO 200 and Fuji branded. Lens was Takumar 55mm f2 I like getting a pack of slides in the post! 1. Incomin...

K-5. First time out
Having tried to take shots like these and failing miserably all I can say is that they are fantastically caught, give yourself a well deserved pat on the back! :D

K-5. First time out
Thanks guys. Glad I didn't post the out of focus duckling that was right in front of me, and almost motionless :oops: As I said at the outset it was a day of variable quality. David, the pics were taken at 500mm with the Sigma 150-500. Apologies for omitting that in the original post. In the exci...

God bless WR
One of the reasons I bought into pentax was WR - and not having to worry too much about using the camera in the rain. Just back from a week on the Isle of Arran with spectacular weather (good and bad :D), and I certainly got value from the WR. I make no great claims for these snaps - but without the...

A Red Kite goes fishing!
I only realised about an hour ago that Springwatch was back on the telly. I've missed 6 episodes... iPlayer's going to be busy :lol: Bill Oddy was on Radio 2 about an hour ago on about that boring Robin that hasn't even got a red breast. He did mention that Twitchers have no interest in pigeons ...

Excellent set Danny :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen: Just to record this kind of behaviour is excellent - never mind the shots that are out of focus have you thought of contacting Springwatch or maybe even the slomo guys - I reckon there is more to come from the 'fishing kite' :D Now I am no expert...

One more 'planet' picture
Just one more from me today. On top of St. Catherine's Hill near Winchester is the MizMaze, a turf maze. For those asking how these are done, here's the sequence: 1. Make a normal pano. Use a fixed white balance, fixed focus and manual exposure. 360 degrees is best. If you want the g...

It is indeed a combined image of 11 shots using CombineZM to acheive the final pic. No further processing was done, except cropping to size in Photoshop. Mis-alignment is probably inevitable due to the nature of the beast. Camera is mounted on a sliding rail itself mounted on a tripod. Shots wer...

Adam Ant Sheffield O2 Academy
A colleague of mine went to one of his gigs and had a great time. Glad to see Adam is back on form and hopefully through the bad patch he endured.
