Collioure, Southern France
Lovely photos. It was packed to the gunnels when we visited so I'm afraid we just drove through. I'd quite like to go back some time though. We took the high road first and ate in Spain then heading back along the coast. Don't remember coming across any train into the mountains - the one going int...

Holiday Snaps
I read once that the Australian Aboriginals were so easily "defeated" by Europeans because of our technology. Not by how effective it was, but just because it was so advanced they thought us some sort of gods and gave up! I now know how they felt. :oops: Anybody want to buy a camera...I'll go ...

Lake Mungo National Park
These are lovely, the toning works so well. Looking Up is also my favorite, I like the drift out of focus. These shots have a 'classic look' putting me in mind of - dare I mention his name - Ansel Adams. :P

Evening on the river
Yes, Alan, I think this is the problem. They were shot on a dull day, and there's not much you can do to rescue a picture shot in poor light. Nipper, I'd recommend going back on a sunny evening, if you can wait for one. G

A Couple of Bust Stop Photos
I lived in Acton, London in the early 90's, during my travelling phase, and I used to catch the 207 to Ealing for shopping or the cinema. If anyone's got the compact Canon film camera that was stolen from my flat in Shaa Road, I want the film back! The Samyang works well, apparently. Might just pu...

Project 35 portraits on the DA 35mm f/2.4 on the K-5
Been shooting Alchemy Festival in Lincolnshire this weekend. Wanted to do something totally out of my comfort zone so decided to shoot 35 portraits of strangers using the DA 35mm f/2.4 on the K-5. Found it really difficult to approach people at first but after doing 5 or 6 it became a little easi...

Project 35 portraits on the DA 35mm f/2.4 on the K-5
Thanks for all the comments. I wanted to keep these as raw as possible to show what was going on around the scene, so did no cropping & very little post processing. I think there was just a little white balance correction & some of the skies in some where pulled back due to being over exposed. ...

Project 35 portraits on the DA 35mm f/2.4 on the K-5
A good set of images Gary, it's the sort of stuff I like doing. Never had an issue about aproaching people but that's down to being "accustomed" to it. Back to the FF FOV of around 50mm, people like it but seldom use it. You may have started something? Best regards

Trying Out My New Sigma 18-250 @ Buxton Raceway
First time out with my new Sigma 18-250 HSM OS lens. I was asked to do the on track trophy presentation photos at Buxton Raceway (18th Sept) and found the lens ideal for these. I had to go back to the safe side of the fence once the racing started though. K5 + Siggy 18-250, all shot through...

Some portraits with my ME Super
I like the unusual focus point of number 2, and number 1 is pretty good too. I'm surprised how marked the grain is. My Neopan 1600 (RIP) images have less than that, although in this case I think the grain contributes to the atmosphere of the images. You can mimic film quite closely with Silve...

Some portraits with my ME Super
Very nice, especially #1. I've recently got back into film and have been shooting exclusively in B&W. A few nice shots so far, and I promise to post something when I think it's worth it :-) Please keep sharing! EM

K20D modified for IR - first shots
Yesterday I received a K20D and proceeded with some trepidation to take it to bits and replace the IR-blocking filter on the sensor with an IR-passing one. It was dark by the time I put it together, but today after a quick tweak to the position of the sensor to suit the peculiar IR characteristics ...

K20D modified for IR - first shots
That may or not be true, but they certainly impress me. regards Bernard Thank you. They were supposed to be test shots, but I can't bring myself not to look for something worth taking :wink: Incidentally, the extra pixels of the K20D allows much more cropping if necessary. This is a cropped...

Drummer in motion
Drummer Stella Mozgawa from the band Warpaint. Taken in a small gig in Galway last month. It was very, very dark and I was locked @ ISO12800 for the night. K-5, FA43, iso12800, f/3.5, 1/10s Technically you could all slate me but I like it and when my friends see the print, they stop, stare, ...

Himalaya/Kunlun Mountains in IR
I got the chance to try out some aerial shots in IR for the first time today, using the converted *ist DL that I got from Karma Mechanic. I am using manual focus lenses, so still eperimenting; unfortunately the best photo was OOF! I took some on the K5 too, and there is a lot less haze using IR. I ...

Himalaya/Kunlun Mountains in IR
Yes, it's taken a while! Unfortunately I took a lot that were OOF, still not quite got used to it with manual focus lenses. The 135mm lens seems the most difficult. What would have been the best of the bunch was unfortunately OOF. Don't suppose you fancy setting up the manual focus 35-105 on the K20...

Himalaya/Kunlun Mountains in IR
For infinity focus for the 135mm you could establish where that is on the ring (via a series of test shots viewed at 100%) and then tape the focus ring in place with masking tape. Infinity is all you need from your office! Same for any other primes - once you've established a completely accurate ...

Himalaya/Kunlun Mountains in IR
The first two don't do anything for me but the 3rd & 4th are just superb. I much prefer the last two myself, I was very glad to get them on my first try at aerial photography in IR. :) I am still learning, and haven't really made it easier on myself using manual focus lenses, but hopefully will end ...
