Loch An Ruathair
An amazing part of the world and great images. I like #3... which gives a sense of the open space. Kinbrace, eh :wink:. Do you recognise this??? Taken from by the cemetery. Spent a happy couple of hours in the vicinity in June, snapping away. Would love to see some more of yours :P A family...

Loch An Ruathair
Just such an inspirational landscape up there. I'm already plotting how to get back!

Dragonfly in flight
Great shot Neil, wing action just right. Have not seen a dragon fly, around here for the last couple of years, and we do have a pond in the back garden. Many frogs though, maybe they eat fly larvae ?. Take care.

Swaffham Raceway - Stock Cars 2011 - VOLUME ONE
Aww much appreciated peeps :) - I took a few more F/1.2 shots in that shoot - getting back into it now. Next volume should have more of those and more shots of actual racing ( I think ) :) I still haven't got the hang of balancing slow shutter speed and sharp subject to get the motion blur thing...

Pentax k-5 at the Leeds Festival
Just got back from shooting the Leeds Festival. Forth time I have shot Leeds Festival but this was the first time as a Main Stage shooter. Also first gig with the K-5. Love the high ISO, the fast shutter speed & most of all its small size. The high shutter speed making jump shots as easy as shoot...

One of our garden residents
This is an Argiope Lobata (Loabed Argiope) spider. Female I think. She's made her home in our garden for the last few weeks having spun her web between our fence and our Yuca, so I thought it was about time I took some photo's of her. She's approximately 5-6 cms front to back, side to side, includin...

One of our garden residents
Thanks for your comments. My personal favourite is #4 because she looks a bit more menacing I think. Getting the eyes in focus through her legs wasn't easy using only the modelling lights of the flash in the dark either. I should have added in my original post that I also used a monopod for stabi...

First play with the Siggy 17-70
Love shot 5 Bob. Looks a good lens... the range sounds pretty handy. I love #5, the girl behind the lamppost. And yup, I have this lens and use it regularly. Highly recommended, great IQ, handy range and the extremely close focus ability is well handy for abstracts :)

Some More Bugs 3
1. 2. 3. Dragonfly in flight ... Saw this guy buzzing around today and only had my Sigma 600mm f8 mirror with me as a lens I could reach it with, so the shots are a little grainy and probably slightly blurry but hand held and manual focus are my excuses. :oops: 4. 5. What a...

Cardiff Gareth's Brain
Well, not really, obviously :roll::shock::roll: But "Photograph of a model of a brain in a museum cabinet inspired by Cardiff Gareth's fantastic PPG images of skulls and snakes in other museum cabinets , but obviously nothing like as good as those:oops:" does not have the same ring to it. ...

Skies round my way
Hello all. I haven't been on the forum for a little while as for some reason my internet connection has been hopeless. However, it is working tonight so I thought I would share a few pics. The recent showers round my way over the last couple of weeks have made for some somewhat textured skies so I t...

My First Time On The 'Dangerous' Side Of The Fence
Hi Chris. Great shots, as others have said, background motion blur just right. I bet you found it much more rewarding, on the dangerous side of the fence. Takes me back many years, I used to spend a lot of time at the local motor clubs, autocross and sprint events with my trusty Spotmatic ...

Two bugs, a bee, and a butterfly
Thanks Tim, As I said it was not an entirely planned shoot, but I'd had the Tamron a month and hardly used it due to turbulance I do have a suspicion that my camera is slightly off focus. regards Bernard

Two bugs, a bee, and a butterfly
The bee is a nice pose but the focus is not on the eye, there is sharpness there but in the wrong place. Likewise with the shield bug, but less so - the focus seems to be on the upper leg. The butterfly is the most successful. 4 looks too soft. 5 the focus is not in the best place and the subject ...

Dorset Steam Fair with the 18-135mm
I think Mike's set shows why the 18-135 doesn't get very good reviews. Not impressed at all. HOWEVER ...... Mike's set also shows you don't need a spunky lens to take great pics. I love these pics. Pic #1 is terrific and the processing is perfect for the scene. Pic #2 is great and well ...

Dorset Steam Fair with the 18-135mm
Well if you're happy that's all that counts :) Loved the pics and I put that down to you rather than the lens. :) Aren't good pics always down to the photographer not the lens (s)he uses? :wink: Why yes of course. :) :) - but I suppose I'm making a distinction between artistically good(subjective) ...

Honfleur Market day
.........................This time I got food poisoning :roll: The last time we were in Honfleur, Belinda B. got food poisoning :!: Back to photography, I think that No. 2 needs a sizeable crop, but I like the others.

Two new IR ones with a different look
Thanks for the comments. For the first one the dark path is part of the scene but is also an odd distraction, the second crop is also effective but now I feel that something is missing.... I think I'll go back and explore those gates a bit more. The 'dominoes' was a chance shot in the couple o...
