Graffiti Passage
Hello all. This week I was quite taken with a passage/tunnel which passes under Waterloo station in London. It is a pretty dank and murky place (filthy in fact). However, it has been given over to Graffiti artists and so the place is full of it. I tried initially to get some pics with the Sigma 10-2...

Gary Numan, Ben & Jerrys Sundae festival Manchester
Good photos as always Gary. He seems to have worn well, certainly better than me :lol:. I went to school with Gary Numan, back in the days he was Gary Webb. He was a year behind me. He used to get really excited about planes. Weird since he lived under the Heathrow flightpath - you'd think he, li...

Bats.........Again!
Well I dont know what this fauna is. However there are a couple of issues with this that i simply dont understand. 1. How can it be so hard to photograph a bat. It is the same as photographing say a swallow or a duck in flight. 2. If it is as difficult as you make out and yields out of focus and ...

Bats.........Again!
Who will bite this time?????? Ahh I've read the other posts from our high shutter speed at night expert. I really thought this Forum was better than that. Is it possible to have a discussion with the member who kindly posted his bat photos? I'll get back to daylight and go see if there are any mo...

Couple of abstracts
I really like the first one. I could hang that on my wall quite happily. The second one doesn't work for me. It makes me think I need stronger glasses! I am searching for patterns in it, and trying to focus it. It doesn't offer the serenity the of the first.

Buxton Raceway - 24th July - Panning Shots @ 400mm
Looks fine to me, no sign of safety fence. I used to do a lot of shoots ,for my local motor club, using my trusted spotmatic II, way back in the late 1970’s, I joined the motor club, the advantage being, I used to sign the liability waver, so was able to go the action side of any safety barriers....

Bugged out
Hi Nigel, Looks like you're having a lot of fun- and you said you probably wouldnt use the lens much!! Addicted to macro now? Like #1 not sure about the OOF bee though:) I couldn't have been more wrong, it now lives on the camera, and not just for macro... I was not sure about...

Hummingbird Series - 3 images with Pentax supertelephoto
Wow- that is quite a lens you have there. I have never seen a humming bird look kind of sleepy as in the first & last pic, great capture. Glad you enjoyed them Japers45! Yes, it's a fantastic lens in terms of optics and FL flexibility: good for birding and larger wildlife. With the right conditions,...

Some "macro" shots with a Pentax supertelephoto
Lovely shots, especially 3 and 4, I like the lazy man's macro technique! Plus I always find the bugs fly away just as i get them in focus!

First test with the Sigma ring flash
I received this for my birthday and had a play today with the K7+ Sigma 105 Macro plus extension tubes. No adjustments to the flash were made and all were taken with a bit of trial and error by adjusting the aperture / ISO. No 1 Hover fly No 2 Flower No 3 Fly N0 4 Hover ...

Two IR shots - two treatments
Hi. I prefer shot No 2, with the colour removed, but I think the first one is the better viewpoint, but maybe without colour. Takes me back to school summer holidays, (misspent childhood on the local farm). That was a long time ago. So must be good images to stir those memories. Take care...

Sigma 600mm Mirror
I've had one of these lenses for some years. I was given one as a memento of 10 years service with the joinery co. I was with in London before moving to Wiltshire in the early nineties. I've never really tried it with any serious intent since getting my K7. I used to use it on my MX with, I thoug...

Sigma 600mm Mirror
A few more with this lens, more favorable light this time. And I love the catch in focus function, it enabled me to get a lot more shots than I originally thought I would get. Simply set to AF.S, hold the shutter button down then slowly focus the lens and try to keep up. Worked a treat :D:D 1. ...
