Sigma 600mm Mirror
The last one is great. I imagine there has to be a fair number of dud shots when hand holding something like this. Get the subject, distance and conditions right and you could come back witrh shots which others couldn't contemplate.

Sigma 600mm Mirror
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 I found that too, with my 500mm Tamron - allowed me to get some pre...

Insect Macros
Speaking as someone that is not a great fan of insects, birds or flowers pictures, I love the first image, but, there is always a but, the 'orange' blur in the back-ground is a bit distracting ? But, another, but, ( Duh ), I still think it is a top image, well into the 9.5's, well done !!!

Insect Macros
1, 2, & 7 are stand outs. Seems very, very crisp with excellent colour. I missed out on a 1.7 a couple of months back on ebay, by £1 in the last seconds - still stings :x :D

First shots with Sigma 150-500
I had an hour spare this afternoon so went up to the aerodrome to try out my new Sigma 150-500. I think I could have got away with a higher shutter speed than the 1/125 and 1/180 was using to preserve the prop motion, in order to get them a bit sharper. But these are the speeds (and lower) that I ...

Second outing with a 77mm.
I like the way you captured the baby's eyes and the way it's looking around.The last one is pretty good to.Trial and error like you say. Its just getting used to the FIV Don. Some of the above are cropped in slightly. My main concern at the moment is the indoor light focus on the K7. It's not always...

Bardsey Island @8mm
The thing about the foreground with such a wide angle is that you can have too much of it, and the solution is to use it. Even if there is no subject matter in the foreground you can still use the features of the foreground. For example, in this shot there is a distinct line from about the 7 o'...

Bardsey Island @8mm
I think you have to be able to "see" an UW shot and I just can't Agree Mike, have bought the 8-16 for a specific job; taking interiors in small rooms. My 12-24 is my favourite lens, love the close focus and perspective stretch it enables;

A Monument to a Horse in IR
Today's IR shot is a monument on Farley Mount near Winchester. The monument marks the grave of a horse, which in 1733 fell into a 25-foot deep chalk pit with his owner on his back - and then horse and owner went on to win a prestigious race the following year. Alternatively, and perhaps just a...

Whitstable Sunset
The crop of no. 3 works really well, and the colours are more realistic than no.1. I would pull back on the vignetting though. I'm all for a subtle vignette effect but this is a bit too dark for me. It looks quite good cropped so that the horizon is halfway too - making it a letterbox format panora...

Whitstable Harbour
It was a stupidly tall mast and if I had stepped back enough to fit it in 2 things would of happened -1. there would be no water below the boat and 2. I would of stepped back so far i would of been in someone's lap in the open air restaurant behind me :D. It was a matter of deciding what looked best...

Trying the A*300mm for Macro
Good capture.. 300mm's quite a long macro. Focus looks to be on the flower to me?

Trying the A*300mm for Macro
Lovely detail in the wings, perhaps a slightly sharper focus would have emphasised the hairs behind the head. But this is just nit picking. :mrgreen::mrgreen: Davex.

Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China.
Hi. Nice pictures of some lovely scenery. I hope to be travelling on my bicycle soon (maybe going Beijing - Vietnam. I know, it will take some time!) so it is always nice to be inspired. Mind if I ask: I need to replace some recently stolen kit, would it be cheaper to buy from Shanghai than UK o...

Something Very Different For Me - Birds Of Prey
I think the first one looks like an overgrown Budgie:D:D:D But they are all good shots, good use of DoF throwing the backgrounds out of focus. I think the first is my pick of the bunch, you've captured something at the top of the food chain but managed to make it look cute and cuddly, I can ju...
