First few with the K5
[quote:3496ace15f="bwlchmawr"]That's disappointing to hear, Jon. I thought one of the main reasons for shelling out the best part of a thousand notes was to be able to crank-up the ISO if required and not pay the price, so to speak. Oh well, it'll stop me lusting after one, I suppose! Pictures ar...

Back in the 1940's
Back in the 1940's, I guess that Spitfires took no notice of signals :D

Hyram, this is a real cool fresh angle and approach, well done. The toning could be a little more subtle, maybe even a split-tone, but that's your choice. Great angle, nonetheless.

Back in the 1940's
Thanks for the comments :D. The toning was done in a bit of a hurry so that I could e-mail the image to someone who was with me when I took the photograph. I think I will have another go at it, when I have more time.

With a bit of dithering this would look a little like a newspaper photo of the time...

Superb shot although as others have said I'd have another go at the toning. Well done. K.

Here's a small selection of images from the charity football match last Wednesday. Thanks to everyone for your advice, in the end I found the Sigma 100-300mm F4 with the K-5 was a good combination. by , on Flickr by , on Flickr by , on Flickr by , on Flickr C...

My first band promo pictures - Silent Jim
Following on from the Silent Jim pub gig last Friday I was asked to do some shots of the band as potential promo material. Not having attempted this before I looked on t'Interwebs and the consensus seemed to be to avoid brick walls at all costs :) All these on the Tamron 17-50mm. These are the o...

My first band promo pictures - Silent Jim
For shot 1 I've just crudely merged two shots to get a more in-focus result. It will need more work on the background and the join, worth doing properly? It (just) avoids the cardigan problem too... :)

My first band promo pictures - Silent Jim
Reworked no. 1 just above now comprised of three separate shots to get clearer focus. Still not quite joined properly but I prefer the overall view. You may need to refresh the images in your browser. What I've learned so far is to allow more space around the subjects to allow for final cropping...

My first band promo pictures - Silent Jim
backgrounds on band promo shoots are so important, sticking a band in a park or woods just isn't exciting enough. whilst you have avoided the clichéd brick wall, don't be afraid to experiment with the brick wall, particularly if it is an interesting brick wall ;-)) Gareth has covered most of the ...

My first band promo pictures - Silent Jim
Throwing some ideas .... They don't look like a gritty scuffed rock band. More clean and reserved. So maybe a more refined and classy but interesting back ground would be more fitting. Sitting in some regal chairs in a stately home? Or In a Museum or other interesting public building.

That's a really useful guide Snappychappy, makes me want to go back again. Paul, another great shot - presumably I was asleep in the caravan when you took it....

Thanks to all. Paul these people got what they deserved from us on Sunday, and they seemed to be appreciative. That's a good take on it Doc & Jon, worth trying. Jon - Sorry today didn't fit - I'm not sure I got much back from the VicAlps, and probably would have been better off staying in ...
