Yikes! I have just come back from the seaside on the South Coast and there was NO CHANCE of me having a dip... it looked absolutely freezing!

First day with K5 shooting
Just want to share a few photos that I took with the K5 today. So far so good to me. Focus is faster than the K20D for sure. But it does seem to front focus on most lenses. #1 by , on Flickr #2 by , on Flickr #3 by , on Flickr #4 by , on Flickr #5 by ...

First day with K5 shooting
People never used to worry about grain with high ISO films in low light situations so maybe it isn't worth worrying unduly about noise in digital. A noisy picture is better than no picture, and at least the K-5 is giving better results in that respect than earlier DSLR's. Another year and newer came...

First day with K5 shooting
I have taken many photos today and they are all being shot under F2 and these are the only ones that are usable after I set focus adjustment to -6. Hope pentax will keep bringing out new DSLR together with larger sensor mirrorless cameras. And my FF lenses are still waiting for a home.

First day with K5 shooting
But it does seem to front focus on most lenses Naive question probably, but how can you tell from the image whether the camera is front focussing or back focussing? An out of focus image is simply out of focus? Yes?

First day with K5 shooting
Oh dear, too much Talisker. I suppose the answer to my query is that if you have focussed on the subject but only the front foreground is in focus, then your camera is 'front focussing' and ditto if it focusses behind the subject. Doh!

First day with K5 shooting
Now I discover that the K5 suffer from front or back focusing depending on the distance of the subject. e.g front focus if focus on close objects and back focus when focus on object far away say more than 8 meters. I can not use the fine focus adjustment function to sort this out.

A very fine set of pictures that I would have been delighted to have taken. I can't see any focus issues on these. Regards David

My birds collection
OK this is not going to go down well. Very beautiful shots of birds ...... as opposed to beautiful shots in themselves ... until we get to my favourite (#9) and despite myself the stunning Nuthatch shot. Why do I say that ? Like taking pictures at the zoo for me the best bird shots are those tha...

Warning - HDR horrors
Grey, rainy and 'orrible here. So no decent new photographs, and I've had to dig very deep into old snaps for something to play with. Gotta find something to keep me going on the cold, dark, post-xmas nights :D Back in April I took some bracketed exposures of the sunrise at Painswick Golf Course ...

Watch shots with DFA 100mm
All excellent.BUT. As an ex engineering type for me number 2 would have been better with a much deeper depth of focus so that you could see all the internals sharp and clear. Picky I know but a few don't seem to be in absolute sharp focus. No.11 the Timex is pin sharp. No doubt all much better than ...

Low Light by the Canal
Taken this afternoon at about 330 400pm. I went out in fading light because I read an article in a old mag about low light hand held photography. I was intending them as B&W and trying to find some texture and tone and try and get the depth of field correct- sharp front to back. They've been ...

Low Light by the Canal
I think the second one has potential, though I agree with the comments on the distracting houses at the left. I can understand you wanting to try low light photography but I think the results would have been much better with a sturdy tripod employed. Perhaps this would have spoiled the essence of ...

Hi Stigg, I like such DoF showing pics. Nice one but don't you think the subject in focus could have been sharper and that would have made this pic really a great one. Regards, Jeeess

Should have taken a few more on different settings but took this when we got back to the car so only took the one!!!

Northumbria Trip
Very nice set Richard - especially the 2 sunrise shots. I am yet to get anywhere near as good a shot as either of these of Bamburgh. I have seen it several times with a sky similar to your second shot but I have never seen anything like the colour in your first one - stunningly beautiful. Whenever I...

If John would just give us his e-mail, we could ALL spam him back. I hadn't seen these either so you're right about the good side of it.

Short Eared Owls!
Following a conversation in a long lens thread on the forum, yesterday saw myself in a field in Northamptonshire with fellow forum member MartynUK. Unfortunately we had no sun at all throughout the afternoon so high ISOs were the order of the day! Will definately try and get back there next Monda...
