Just had a quick look at your website. Very good, will be back for a better look, when I have more time. Many thanks, for sharing all of your images.

Quite Chuffed
No critique is ever worth one percent of the affirmation that comes from getting your photo published, so 'grats for that. That said, although I like the pose, and I definitely agree that the crop improves the composition, the face lacks a certain sharpness that would absolutely clinch it for me....

Pano Fail
Well, I attempted a stitched pano shot to capture a wider scene than my DA15mm could manage. Unfortunately I feel I haven't left enough space for a decent crop - to me it needs more space on the right hand side of the aqueduct. I'll put that down to the ND filter which made it hard to see what I was...

Certainly worth a try at a square crop, though you may not have quite enough foreground to make it work convincingly. If you go back, be sure to grab a little more of the foreground - the worst that can happen is you end up cropping it out anyway. A portrait version may also work - see my cack-h...

I rather like the blurred water, to my mind it adds to the interest as it looks slightly 'unnatural' amongst everything else and draws me to it. It's a tricky one in terms of crops. How many pics is it constituted from? is it a stitch of four pics put together 2x2 to make a square? if so, and I was ...

Yes, it's 2 x 2. I think what you say is spot on - I need another couple of shots on the right. I guess I was a bit disappointed to have come back with nearly - but not quite - enough shots to make it work :wink:

I would say you can do better with that lens, 1st one comes close but you missed the focus on the eye, this macro stuff takes a lot of patience

Hi chap, the first is close, and I like the comp. in the second but focus is off. Are you using flash or extra lighting? I had help and advice here re lighting and aperture, but it's still slow progress. Nigel

Thanks Pentaxophile I was hoping someone else would comment on the sharpness - I'd got to the stage I was going goggle eyed, then they flew away. Feel free to fiddle to your hearts content, I wanted to check that I'd adjusted the autofocus on my K10D, which was back focusing very badly regar...

Certainly looks as if you are getting there, and that conversion is really nice. You have to love the out of focus areas with this lens. Have you searched for earlier threads on flash boxes or tubes. You can make one quite easily and quickly... Just helps to focus the light and free...

Feel free to fiddle to your hearts content, I wanted to check that I'd adjusted the autofocus on my K10D, which was back focusing very badly regards Bernard To be honest, Bernard, I'd do away with using autofocus for macro shots and use manual focus. It does make you go goggle-eyed but you'll ...

Thanks guys, The shots were taken with manual focus but the camera had been back focusing which also causes problems with MF as well as AF. Nigel - I have a soft box made from an icecream tub, lined with silverfoil, and uses the translucent lid (without the cardboard filler) as the diffuser. I...

Perhaps the very best macro photographers do use flash all the time. I wouldn't know. I'm sure I couldn't afford their lighting set ups. This thread started with someone who is attempting to start on the macro path. I started on that just a few months ago. I would, personally, suggest learning...

I'm sure you are right there Dr. I also started macro in the same way you did because I found using flash intimidating after finding out that the undiffused on-board flash is not going to work (harsh, shadows, reflections etc.). Dark Skies - often macro lighting set ups are not expensive at ...

K5 trickery 2
Just come back from a holiday mostly in Spain where I learnt a lot about the K5 Before After Before After Before After I was most impressed!

K5 trickery 2
I would generally prefer to do these sort of mods at home with a large screen and an even larger drink. I can (I suppose) see how it would be nice if you wanted to show someone the results on the back of the camera while still on holiday. Although you can just 'zoom in' to the image rather than crop...

Great photos. The Mk1 Escort photo takes me back to the days when I used to rally one. Regards, Chris.

Nice set, Ted. Not easy to get this sort of thing right. I struggled today to get a 25mph steam locomotive sharp using a manual focus tele-zoom!

Nice set, and "too quick" is hardly a failure, iys a very effective shot +1 actually the best one for me. Nigel OK. You've convinced me. I'll go back to this one and re-visit it. And see if there are any more like it :wink:
