Hoverfly plus A.N.Other
Pretty much agree with other comments. #1 and #2, the focus is seems off. On the remaining 3 the technique is spot on, And it all comes together in #5 where there is some modelling with the subject being on an angle, and a good view of the wings.

Hoverfly on Majoram
I think that this is a very good picture1 Sharp where it needs to be, with good out-of-focus areas to balance & project the hoverfly forward. How would it look, do you think, with some cropped off the left, to leave an almost square image? Roger.

but when set up like this I can only wonder how it was done with such purr-fection. Makes my efforts look like kindergarden stuff easier done than said I'm affraid..lol! ok here goes: the back corner of my studio... set up a table and props... That babmoo booth in the background? (We rent...

The first shot has a very natural feel to it. Perhaps it is because the bird happens to appear life size on my screen, but I can almost imagine reaching in and feeling the feathers or even picking the bird up. I think this set is a great example of how the overall composition and subjective 'feel' o...

Well hello there Pentax user community. Long time no see. Firstly, apologies for a real lack of contribution to the forum of late. I have genuinely been the busiest I have ever been at work, couple this the fact I am currently moving house = no time for this! (Moving back to Chester). Hopefull...

My favourite of all of these is And at 250mm F10: I love the grainy look. It could perhaps do with a touch more contrast? I went off Iggy Pop, who was one of my childhood heroes, afer he started doing those appalling adverts, which possibly colours my view of that shot. The first shot is a lo...

Hadn't realised that was Shaun Ryder...never seen him wearing a flat cap before... I like the colour version. The picture of your wife looks bettr with the crop, but looks a bit soft and perhaps lacking contrast. Can you get back some of the highlights? I like the crop, it works really well.

What a veritable feast of comments! :wink: Regarding the Shaun Ryder pic, it might be a tad on the dark side - I was trying to emphasise the reflection in his sunglasses as I saw that as being the key feature. Perhaps this was at the mercy of the rest of the shot. Everything is dark here, includi...

it can, but it's not just the symmetry, it's the hyper-cleansing of pics of real world details that can lead to their over sterilisation. I'll readily admit I get slightly disgruntled when peeps want to clone stuff out of pics. The real world is beautiful. The trick, IMO, is to give the pic depth...

I apologise for using the phrase "the real world is beautiful" On hindsight it was rather nauseous. :D :D The cloth cap chap shot is much better IMO. the only thing I'd do on the Iggy P shot now is to darken the chap behind's neck a bit. Love the "This one was taken in a spur of the momen...

Nice pictures. Never saw Kenny race live but did see Ago win back in 1972 at Snetterton Race of Aces on the MV. Back then the lap record was just about the same as this years BSB at just under 100mph average, but never had all the twisty bits! Which lens did you use? Pat

Brings back a lot of memories! I cut my teeth photographing track and trials riders during the early 70's. Amazing what a K1000, 50mm f/2 and a 200mm Sigma f/3.5 could do. (still have the Sigma lens). Good, clean images with lots of detail. Best regards

My first attempt at portraiture
In the past I have only been interested in wildlife and birds, now as I get older and less chance to go out to the bush I'm becoming more interested in photographing people. I learnt a lot from this first serious attempt. There was a white wall in the background which I had to hide, most were out...

I hope to have that camera soon, KM, any news for me? I have bought the Kx, so the Km is ready for a new lease of life.....:D I'm still awaiting a quote on the filter glass from Basildon, but my confidence with the principle of tinkering with the SR gubbins is growing - I believe I can take it all a...

Excellent, I have every confidence in your tinkering abilities...:D I just hope my wife doesn't want her Km back when she sees the results:) She's very chuffed about getting the Kx.

Wow that is very cool! excellent focus and brilliant details. What set up did you use? (I have to say as well that I think the Pentax Q is growing on me...):) Cheers
