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 ...

Tattooed man
Barrie's hit the nail on the head. A bit much going on, there is more than one image going on here. Look at all those locks in the background, a Pentax 50mm f1:1.2, wide open, focused mid-way, what a picture ! Close-in on the tattoo's, another image. Red and Blues on the boat ? Group...

This land was ravaged by... IR version
Some of you may recall I posted an image a while back of a standing stone above the M3 motorway, with heavy processing to get the effect I wanted. The old thread is . I was up there yesterday testing the converted K20D on the big sky, so I took a different view of it in IR. A Terminator-style la...

Park Classics
I go to quite a few of these sort of events and they are tricky places to get decent shots with uncluttered backgrounds (unless that is what you are shooting!), so I often concentrate on the details like you have here. The E Type shot is the standout one for me as there is nothing to date it to the ...

Under the Bridge
Each of the photos seem to be good technically, but (in my view) 1, 2 and 4 have an absence of main subject/focus/ purpose, call it what you will. I look at them and there's nothing that grabs me; my attention wanders around the scene. Conversely, shot 3 speaks to me - the old and the new, co...

Thanks John, that is a very useful addition to George's comments and is along similar lines. I would never post an image that I thought was rubbish so i quite liked the overall atmosphere of these. But you are right, there is a lack of focus. These comments really are crystalising my thoughts ...

ChrisA- apologies, I did not come back to your comment. I dont have the original file here, its on a portable hard drive elsewhere. I know the same sort of warping was present in both the orignal and edited file though (because I was unhappy with that element in both images)

Under the Bridge
Nigel- hope you're okay- yes a tricky one for sure- in some ways I suppose the tricky places are often the most interesting eh? The thing I am most pleased about is that I KNOW that 6 months ago these pics wouldn't have been good enough to post and whilst they have some issues I know I have impro...

2011 Yorkshire Rally
Some good advice on the panning techniques there. I find Tv mode set to 1/90 or preferably less gives the best results for these type of shots. I will sometimes zoom out whilst panning to too, so you can pick the car up early in its trajectory whilst zoomed in, and still have it in the frame with sp...

2011 Yorkshire Rally
Lots of great feedback there..thanks :wink: I do try to follow the shot through, but I usualy over compensate and pan faster than the car. I had my shutter speed at about 1/30 for the more successful panning shots. Almost every vehicle has some out of focus areas. Is this due to low DoF ( iris ...

Some hills this morning with the DA18250
Had a wander down to Buttermere this morning to check out the colour. Bit windy but beautiful day so went for a wander instead. Not done a huge amount with the DA18-250 so decided to give it a go. Mixed results but nice to have that range in one lens. I missed my grads to be honest - wide range in b...

Some hills this morning with the DA18250
The third one i wasn't entirely happy with the processing myself. Trying to accentuate the path looking towards Causey Pike which I thought was the stand out feature of the walk. I was trying to focus attention on the turbines as well. They looked like they were floating in air from the top of Grass...

IMHO... Really interesting to see the different treatments you've used for these images. Turbine shot is v good but for me 3-5 are the most interesting - because they are different approaches to the kind of shot I often sometimes attempt (and don't usually pull off :roll:). And I assume you had '...

Cheers for the comments but to be honest I was just posting about the 18-250. It was an excellent walk and there are a couple of spots I'll be going back for at dawn - good viewpoint for the rising sun. I doubt I'll be using the 18-250 for walking again. I'll stick to being weighed down with a bit e...

Valle Crucis Abbey/Castell Dinas Bran - Llangollen
I tried to get almost exactly that shot a couple of years back, then realised my memory card was still in my computer...back home!! It does give a nice feel for the place.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, you're in danger of having to suffer a second set! the first especially which offers a great perspective (although there may be a dust spot in the sky? - right of centre) Dead right Matt, just been back to look at the full size version and it's a dust bunny. I'l...

Daddy Long Legs
Very good, I had a go at taking some shots today of the same type of critter, so realise how difficult they are. I have the 100mm Pentax macro lens, but I don’t have a converter. Does the Kenco 2x converter, transfer all functions to the lens, ie auto focus & aperture control. Take care.
