Take it on the chin
Thanks all. I just happened to have my new lens on me so wanted to see that the shallow DOF was like. Perhaps the focus should have been slightly further back or the DOF increased. The guy was in a world of his own but quite amiable, and agreed to have his picture taken when he asked me for some ...

Take it on the chin
In the scheme of things a bogey was the least of his concerns, aesthetically. He gleefully showed me a very raw looking weal on his back, which he told me was where he had been 'whipped'. I didn't press him as to how this had come about :shock: Whatever, it must be a tough existence for people su...

Couple more from Stratford
We spent a couple of hours in the butterfly farm at Stratford. I had a slight issue with my lens and didn't figure it out for a while, so most shots are very underexposed and blurred. But, I got a few which worked. This is my favourite so far. I cropped it slightly to remove some of the vegetatio...

Hard as nails...
Spent a bit of time with this chap in Brum today, good voice and told me he had to audition to busk! 1. 2. 3. 4 5 He was opposite Jessops, so went in and took some back to back shots with 50-135 and my old Ashai Pentax 135 2.5 after. Nige...

Sigma APO Macro 180mm f2.8 MF samples
Caught this snail traversing the grand canyon, OK the gap between two bricks. :wink: Took the shots with the 180 macro and boy is this going to be a fun lens. I should have increased the F stop a little to get more in focus but I wanted to see what it would be like wide open. One of the shots (or m...

Cold ,wet and dark Whitby!
I'm sorry, but after reading more of the comments on some of your posts I feel forced to join in. Every photographer states that they always ask for permission and don't mind if people decline. Despite this, I have personally met countless that either still try to take a photo when I've said no or e...

Cold ,wet and dark Whitby!
If I want to put on my corset, big boots and makeup to make me feel good about myself in a dumbed down world that doesn't allow something different to grow and thrive, while at WGW it's because I was always surrounded by others of the same mind. I don't do it so a pushy group of seedy men can fill t...

Peach With Autumn Leaf II
Nicely done, an image that draws you back for another look.

It does take some getting used to, for sure. It's very much worth the effort though, I think. I realise you were pretty close in the second one, but even so it doesn't look all that sharp. With an exposure of 1/1250, it's obviously not camera shake! Sometimes I found with this lens on the K1...

Here we have two decent 'practice shots', a little oversaturated but otherwise OK. The subject matter and shooting angles don't really do it for me but shots like this help you get used to a lens. It's a good plan to force it to refocus by focusing on something very close (or very far in this ca...

I presume the selective focus on the end of the log was deliberate though Chris? I'm sure it was... but at F8, I'd have expected it to be sharper, and see more DOF I guess. Of course, the 'focus and reframe' method of selecting focus point will be at its very worst at 10mm up close like this.

River Loire
I hadn't really thought about the reportage angle - you're right. Funnily enough, I crossed the river this morning and noticed that there is considerably more water today, so I'll go back to the same spot and see how it looks. The source of the Loire is down in the mountains west of Lyon and a...

Going back for another enjoyable look, I noticed you've removed the crucial exposure EXIF data, I think everyone would like to know what your settings were.

Cheers :-) A pal just got it today and one of mine is at the front by the contents page apparently. I missed the delivery man today so they took it back to Carlisle.

Fantastic set. The last one of the river valley in the original set is like an old oil painting. Just stunning. I had just been wondering what had happened to you as I hadn't seen anything from you for a while and wham. Back with a flourish. How do you avoid flare when you stack square filter...

Hi Mark, I haven't commented up to now because I couldn't really find the words to describe this set. So, I'll just agree with the others and leave it at that! Sutherland is my favourite part of the world, at least the places I've visited. I've climbed all the mountains you have described and ...

I'll jump on the back of darkskies comments Mark. As frustrated as you may have been with the weather you have came home with some outstanding captures. 4, 9 & 10 are the stand outs for me Just looking at google maps ...8hrs away by car. A long run but I'd be sorely tempted
