First from my K10
Most lenses will focus OK down to at least f/5.6 so can't you just leave them at f/5.6? M42 lenses inc. pre-sets should work you can just set them to f/5.6, they should already be stopped down to that as you focus. There might be a bit of tweaking needed with M42 lenses if they have black pain...

First from my K10
Ted - when you say your K10D is slightly crippled, what do you mean? It had been dropped, so I got it (very) cheaply. The lever inside which operates the iris, well, it doesn't. The motor goes, but the final drive to the lever is snapped (I think). So, I use the camera in Av mode. Open the iris ri...

That's actually pretty good for a first attempt with a 50mm and tubes - certainly better than my first few goes. It's a little bit noisy - I tend to limit the camera to ISO 200 for macro and it could be a little sharper (macros respond quite well to minor sharpening in post processing), but colour, ...

Cheers mate. I'm actually not quite sure I left the ISO on so high, I think I'll give it another go with the ISO on 200 like you :P. I love how sharp your image is...Poor fly too haha! I'm using the K20D with f1.7 M and Vivitar tubes x3 for 68mm. Arghh I forgot that my camera had catch in f...

Hmm I just tried to use catch in focus but it wont work with my tubes :(. I do have another old lens which I picked up the other week, so I might give that a try next...Its pretty heavy in comparison to the 50mm though haha.

Those are very good. Presumably these aren't cropped, then, or you would have left the legs in! Just reduce the number of tubes to lower the magnification. You will still be able to crop if you need to without any loss of detail. As for catch in focus with the tubes you might need to check th...

Cheers! I've managed to sort it and catch in focus now works :D! The paint on those tubes is definitely tough though. Time to test it out. Thanks again.

My first corporate gig
Techincally they are good, you just need to work on your positioning of the subjects, the last image is excellent. As one of the chuckle brothers is short, he would have been better positioned stood in front center rather than on the end, as you did in the second shot, but then balance the subjec...

The Wolf
Really well taken images, the detail in them is amazing. One very small point, if you have cropped the first one, would it be posible to include the last little bit of the jaw? Thank you Barrie ! Actually the whole jaw is included in the cropped version but the border now covers over part of it and...

I like the first one in the way the bloom in focus is mirrored by the one in the background. Nicely done. K.

Three comments, three different preferences - that's the beauty of photography. everyone sees something different in a photograph. I would be well chuffed to have taken any of these Naim :mrgreen:, if I had to pick a fave it would be no2, the green hues are lovely and contrast well with the hints...

More great bird shots, like Frogfish I crave for this lens but price is the draw back.

From the Tissington Trail
Yep, all from the K10. It works nicely with the 28 - 80mm lens I bought a few months back, so this may be a permanent partnership. As to the tree; I've no idea, sorry! It looked quite brittle though,so maybe it snapped in the wind?

A few car pictures
Great images :D! I suspect that a similar thing happened to my brothers RS6 when he had that - it came back with a nice coat of white "dust" and a refurbished, can spray-painted alloy wheel, he wasn't happy at all :roll:.

Motorsport: Oulton Park, April 7 2012
Sorry, should have paid more attention in my original response. I rarely use any kind of auto setting - aperture priority for wildlife, sometimes, but with motorsport I tend to keep the camera in manual mode - including the focus, when panning. I pre-focus on a particular spot, although that has its...

Shooting Rape Seed
In this batch I was on my way back home from camping in the Peak District when I saw a large expanse of rape seed in a farmers field near Oxford. I had the camera in the car so I decided to have a break from driving and experiment with depth of field shots. This was my first time shooting in sem...

Shooting Rape Seed
I have never yet shot a rapeseed image that I was totally happy with - not an easy subject to tackle. With these, in several cases if we scroll the image down to exclude the sky it improves the composition. The out of focus background is great, but I would personally prefer a bit more sharpness o...

Shooting Rape Seed
Thanks for the comments John – I did have fun, albeit very briefly as I shot inbetween heavy showers and I only spent 15 mins in the field so it was rather rushed. The wind was a nightmare and the rape seed was very difficult to keep in focus with my camera hand held. Sorry for the trouble view...
