Victoria Hospital revisited
After some disappointing shots the other day I calibrated the AF to use the Tamron 17-50mm in IR. The Tamron has a propensity to throw a lot of diffuse flare in IR. This isn't all that noticeable at f/2.8 but gets worse as it is stopped down, so I hadn't used it in IR until now since the focus was ...

Victoria Hospital revisited
#1 I think the crop is too aggressive. It looks like something is missing (sky, landscape or trees). Light is nice though... #2 That's sorted those gates. Much prefer this to your original shot in the other post. It makes the path look interesting rather than just an annoying thing in the foregro...

First day's play with a Sigma 50mm Macro
First one is very nice, some great detail in the eye .. the rest seem a little off (focus)to me. They also look a little dark on my laptop but then its not calibrated in any way so that may just be me. Not sure the 3x tc is doing you any favours to be honest.

First day's play with a Sigma 50mm Macro
I've had to go back to the pringles tube and onboard flash with these. The lens doesn't seem to let in as much light as the vivitar and the cheap ring lights I've got didin't seem to do anything with the Sigma. I picked up a Metz flash at a vide grenier the other week for €5, but it only works when ...

First day's play with a Sigma 50mm Macro
First one is a cracker - IMHO I do not thnk the others are oof as such - looks to me as if there is a very narrow field of focus - not nrccesarily in the right place on some Problem is you have set the bar so high with your macro shots Charlotte - it makes us search for flaws:D

Pushing the Pentax k-5
Forgot about this shoot from last weekend. Chase & Status are one of the new breed of dance, MC, rapping type acts. Their stage acts involves an MC who sprints from side to back to side of the stage. The ligthting consists of a green hue with shed loads of back strobing..Normally this would be a ...

My first train shot
Simon they're very good, especially as it was your first shot of a train. Was it going very fast?. You used the same seetings I use on my K5 and K10 for fast moving trains although I tend to use a wider aperture to get a faster shutter speed. The top ranking locos like Tornado are allowed to go up...

Moon shot through telescope
I put a T-mount on the back of my telescope and managed to get this shot. Focusing is more difficult, this is the smallest image i could get due to the magnification. C&C welcome

Moon shot through telescope
Try again when you don't have a full moon, and focus on the terminator. One of the things that I love most about looking at the moon through a telescope is that you can see little bits of the moon that appear to stretch off into space (bits of higher ground that are reflecting sunlight when most of ...

Moon shot through telescope
It's just so difficult to compare at that phase of the Moon because there is so little detail to see, 95% of the Moon will look washed out however it is photographed. The telescope will come into it's own when the Moon looks at it's best, the available light is so much less and the atmospheric cond...

Cheating?
I think the impact of the edit is enormously greater having seen the original. The former gives the context, the latter gives the ability to really focus on the intricacy of the creation without distraction. Both are important IMO.

Cheating?
Photographers have been changing skies on images for countless years, why is it cheating because you've done it digitally? Everyone has their own preferances to how much manipulation they will do, personally I like to try and get it right in camera and do as little as possible in photoshop but I ...

Cheating?
I hate the word 'cheating' when it is used against someone who is being creative. Many years ago in my colour slide days a work colleague accused me of cheating when I told him I used a polarizing filter to improve the sky. Nowadays I get quite annoyed with dyehard amateur photographers who say the...

DLI Reunion- with the 35mm f2.4
The first shot is just sublime. Great candid portaits as well, showing the lens in its element, shooting portraits with expansive backgrounds which are thrown nicely out of focus. I've hardly ever gone over f4 with this lens! In fact if the aperture stuck at f2.4 permanently I would still be perf...

Mobile Phone Casing
I got (my wife yay) to create me a customised mobile phone case for my Galaxy S. Dirty blood red with the "O" from one of my favorite bands, from Sweden. The Back The Front Argh, . Thanks for looking!

Yellow robin
Thanks all, I do find the combination hunts for focus in auto and the tripod is even more necessary.But I mostly use manual focus for this type of shot.
