Birds returning
Thanks for all the helpful suggestions. I think I'll have to get a Hienz 57 varieties of food and do up the feeding station with some braches, and put up a flat table. I still get the occasional visit from a cat but since I cut back the base braches of the coinfer it doesn't have a place to hide. H...

I went to see the Queen
Why was the Queen waving at the firemen? Hasn't she seen the tv ads for uniformdating.com? :D Try cloning out the out-of-focus intrusion on this shot of Mrs Windsor and you'll have a great photo! :)

A few recent shots
Two very nice shots, although not sure eyes are sharp on the first, which they need to be for a close up. I agree - the focus isn't quite spot on for the eyes, but for me considering the style of shot, I think I get away with it.

A few recent shots
Algi - good suggestion on cropping the first shot: That's much better and (for me) the eyes are sharp enough.... it's a soft focus shot anyway :lol: She's also central in the crop, which wasn't the case with the original. -

Bathing Goldcrest
[quote:3496ace15f="coker"]Tell me, do birds taken with flash have any reaction to the flash? Do they just ignore it, do you think they are unaware, or do they seem to think "what was that?" & carry on? Interested to hear what your experience is in this regard. Roger. Most birds I think are una...

Bathing Goldcrest
Great photos. I had to go to Greece to get some ok pics of a firecrest! Tell me, do birds taken with flash have any reaction to the flash? Do they just ignore it, do you think they are unaware, or do they seem to think "what was that?" & carry on? Interested to hear what your experience is in...

Llanerchaeron NT house & Gardens
Just back from a day out at Llanerchaeron (pronounced Clan-a-clair-on) West Wales. We had a great time the weather was dull which has not given the best light and I seem to have blown most skies today. Never mind I kept the Pentax 10-17mm fish eye on my K5 and went to play. I am really loving this l...

RAW Conversion with 150-500.
Are these massive crops? You should be getting sharper pics with the 150-500mm. Loss of sharpness can be through camera shake or not quite nailing the focus. The processing looks OK.... maybe they could be sharpened a bit.

RAW Conversion with 150-500.
Grebes are sometimes soft because of all the water on their feathers and the beak isn't always in focus.

RAW Conversion with 150-500.
Processing raws is such an ease with Lightroom 4. It is not hard to bring back or front focused shots to life. Personally i just apply a little sharp(tweaking with masking and detail options too), a little NR, move the purple and aqua sliders till the chromatic aberrations dissapear. Levels, colors...

RAAF Pearce Airshow
Number 2 was shot using a fish-eye/wide-angle??.. It looks as though the nose cone's been bent towards the left! :) The final pic would have looked more dramatic if you'd caught the shot with the afterburners switched on in the engines, I think. My fave?.. Number 1!!... A bright, colourful ima...

Conwy steam train and other bits
A quick trip to Conwy last weekend to see the steam-hauled special train, quite disappointing really as it was dull and overcast. So, first a few in front of the castle, the real reason for going. Unfortunately I'd left the camera in basic auto mode, so most of them had some camera shake and were...

Conwy steam train and other bits
I like the mono boats and the last one of the Duchess. I have seen several published shots of trains passing the back of the castle where the photographer has attained a higher viewpoint. Were you standing in the park? It might be worth a climb up the hill behind you, the next time you are the...

Kite Surfers
I suppose from a distance it would be actually easier, because relative speeds are smaller, so its easier for AF to track. The advantage of shorter distances is that DOF appears greater and so compensates for some miss-focus. Unless you talk about P&S with limited shutter, that whole issue is bo...

scottish humming bird
Just about all the catch in focus threads I have seen all seem to involve humming birds. so set up my tripod to try the technique and this is what I captured.
