A few pics from this BH Monday
Thanks Barrie. The Rabbit shot is a crop through trees. Wasn't sure I'd get a decent pic out of it. The edges are out of focus twigs, branches, etc. On the squirrel lying down, the depth of focus is so narrow, I've cropped the rest of the body out. It didn't look good. Maybe I should vignette.

A few pics from this BH Monday
As usual you seem to be there when something is happening. The Kx shots look a bit noisy around the outside. Have you PP them that way? Hi Barrie - looked at these on a different monitor. I can see the noise now :oops: A combination of a large crop and high ISO. I'll not apply noise reduction as ...

Trying out the 35mm macro
I like the garlic. The background is better in the second, but DOF isn't quite enough for the flower head so overall I prefer the first. Nice to see the comparison of the two apertures - was this with a tripod & same focus? Cherry blossom looks too contrasty to me. It's a difficult subject that mi...

Trying out the 35mm macro
What's the minimum focus distance on the DA35mm-Ltd HG? I took a pretty similar shot as you're first yesterday (your's is considerably sharper mind...) with the Samsung-DFA-100...

[quote:3496ace15f="ChrisA"]I really think someone should take your camera away. Otherwise I'll be slitting my wrists, or at least hanging up mine for sure :) You'll need a sharper knife than these shots:twisted::twisted::twisted: :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: Sorry Gary, could't resist.[...

A few more from Dorothea Quarry
D'you know how deep the pool is? It looks like it might go down a long way, from the sheer sides of it. I personally like the feeling of desolation in your top photo, with the trees growing in the ruins. A lot of the buildings near the harbour of Chania, in Crete, were bombed in May 1941 at t...

First pics with my SP1000
A few weeks ago I bought an SP1000 and these are from the first roll (Kentmere 100). As posted on a thread in the 'film camera' forum, there is a problem with the meter switch, which sometimes stops the mirror rising fully and the shutter firing. Moving the switch back down before the exposure ma...

First pics with my SP1000
Yes, the meter did move a bit (usually starts in the middle and drops down slightly) when switching it on. I based my exposures on where it settled (assuming it is slower to respond than modern meters) but always metered off a suitable mid-tone before composing the final shot. The shots were all usi...

As Don says, all nice and clear. But the bunny is the one I'd come back to.

Renewable Energy
I was going to a friends house a few weeks back and happened to have the camera with me. As I passed along New Brighton promenade the sun was setting behind the wind farm. I didn't have long, but couldn't resist taking a couple of shots. Here is the best of the bunch.

Birds of Prey day
Not bad, 3 is my favourite as well. I went to a owl sanctuary a couple of weeks ago (Xmas present from the wife) and it absolutely poured down. We were stood outside with the birds flying to us .. at least they are waterproof. Anyway, it was my first time and I have to admit, it's certainly no...
