Welcome to summer time!!
Here is my 2 cents on this, and apologies if I am not a Pentax user anymore but I was once, and still have some great friends here in the forum, hence once in a while still dropping by and saying hi :) I fully agree with both the above comments, and in fact these are way too many images to commen...

Another Saturday
Was determined not to go birding this weekend and do something different instead. However I got up at 6am on Saturday and the sky was full of stars, not a cloud to be seen. So, I changed my mind in the hope of catching a Kingfisher in decent light. Fat chance. He paid a visit before the sun had rise...

Alan they are superb. ISO 3200 is good, where's the noise? You had the same light as me chasing that steam train. It went from Newcastle to Newsham, Bedlington and Morpeth and back to Newcastle before going through Durham to Bishop Auckland and Stanhope. David

Last week a tame wheater turned up at Work so I took a few photos with the sigma 150-500 but it was so tolerant (providing you slid along on your belly like a seal!) I went back and grabbed the 300mm. Got a few shots! Croped to portrait by , on Flickr uncropped by , on Flickr ...

A few from Mull
Just got back from the rally in Mull, but didn't have much time for photography due to being on chase car and spannering duties. So I just had to grab shots here and there. Fishnish ferry port... Road from Bunessan Bunessan fire station Ooops!

Nice and opportunistic capture :D The noise must have been awsome :D I once held a pilots licence but had to hand it back to the pilot once he realised I had it :lol: ( a friend of mine is a pilot)

Big Flyer at local RSPB reserve
Thanks for the comments and info guys. I had the Bigma at 500mm when I heard the engines, I thought "thats no Cesna" and looked to the skies to see it emerge over the treeline, the camera was straight to my eye but I couldnt find the damm thing, I ended up zooming out to find it, by that time I o...

Anyway, getting back to the topic of the photo... :) For a grab shot like that, it's very good. It would feel churlish to criticise it really - a longer exposure would blur the props nicely, but there's a limit to what you can do when you aren't expecting it.

Great shots Peter, good focus on the eyes, but glad it was your doorstep and not mine. :shock: Take care.

My wife spotted her first and in the semi-darkness I thought it was just another type of spider I hadn't seen before. These are very hurried shots with little merit other than as a record. I was more than a little surprised when I saw them on the big screen, to see all those babies. Apparantly wo...

My first attempt
Hey guys, some of you may remember a little while back I asked for some advice with the ME super I had inherited. Well, the tim has come for the scanning of my first roll of pictures! These are just test pictures for getting used to how the camera works and seeing what settings everything should ...

My first attempt
After looking at these images I think I will stay with digital and not going back to film again.

My first attempt
I think I know what you mean about the 80s thing. I reckon its the characteristics of film. Many of my family shots of me growing up have this kind of feel.Others may know more than me here though. I wouldnt be too hasty in dismissing your artistic talent. I think its something that can be learnt...

My first attempt
Back on topic though, I'd make one suggestion, as perhaps a first step. Get rid of clutter. Quite a few of the subjects on that roll (especially the girl) would be perfectly fine as subjects, but there's so much distraction that any impact is lost. Take more time to ensure that you're only incl...

My first attempt
I'll have to give it a good long think, the only reason I am here is because I inherited this equipment. Maybe once I have taken a few rolls worth of film, I will venture in to the digital side of things but at the moment it is a relitavely cheap hobby for me. If I really get in to it though, I will...

My first attempt
Technical quality-wise (I'm not making any comment about NAM's images) these are the not best images to judge the potential of 35mm film. Good quality film processed and scanned by a pro-lab would be a fairer comparison than a test-roll of consumer-grade 200ASA print film scanned poorly. There a...

Nick, Your pictures are a bit aimless, but that's fine you're just starting out, they show the camera appears to work OK. So what to do now? As other advise has stated, of course get the basics under your belt. But I always advise to have a purpose. Nobody learns by just taking pictures. You ne...
