Great shots Alan are they the one's at the back of the Johnie Johnson building ? as my friend watches them from his window and their parents open the bin bags around here. Tell me more Geordie ........... These ones are near St. Mary's

Fox cubs from the weekend.
Wow these are ace! Have you been watching Springwatch? There's a fox family with 11 cubs in a back garden being featured on it!:shock: These are rather wonderful though. Number 4 takes the prize for me too.

A couple from Saturday
Both beautiful. I rather like the Starling myself. Great pose and great focus.

Olympic Torch in Birkenhead
Well, I got back form work in time to go to Birkenhead park, but couldn't take time to look for a decent spot, so joined up with the Mrs. Unfortunately, the crowd surge and our vantage point meant I couldn't get a clear shot of the torch when it was lit, but I got a few shots whilst Chris Boardman ...

50mm f1.7 smc Pentax-m
Hi John, colours are lovely, as is the case with most Pentax SMC lenses. It looks as though the image was shot in poor light and consequently you have probably used a wide aperture. This has affected the depth of field (it could do with more) and made focus critical. The focus is ever so slightly...

50mm f1.7 smc Pentax-m
I like the dreamy narrow DOF effect, looks luscious - however there needs to be a more defined and enticing focal point to pull this sort of shot off IMO... the whorled cluster of petals at the centre of the flower for example. The only in-focus petal here is flat-on to the viewer, which presents a...

National Botanical Garden of Wales
comparing the two images I agree some is down to personal preference, certainly the sharpening is much better and makes my original look out of focus.

Q Image Quality? (Image heavy)
They look pretty good on here! I find the second one (the gull)interesting, as the background is out of focus. I didn't think with such a small sensor that limited DOF would be much of an option. I love the pic of the wreck, also the fishing hut. I have to say from these that the camera looks a ...

Q Image Quality? (Image heavy)
Dungeness is a weird and wonderful place. Definitely high up on the list of photogenic locations. I've only taken JPEGs so far with the default sharpening. I'm not sure how much that is but I actually find it a little too much. I'll report back once I've some raw files to play with.

Q Image Quality? (Image heavy)
Played a bit more, raw this time (yet to update the firmware though). Noise just isn't the issue I feared it would be. I shot some horse shots in difficult lighting. One of the advantages of the f1.9 lens is that ISO400 will be enough for most low light situations. The lens is sharp wide open an...

Q Image Quality? (Image heavy)
I would just like to thank Dr O for making my wallet a bit lighter :wink: First impression is it's a great little package, and there is reasonable control over depth of field (as Dr O demonstrates) - After I hit the "Buy" button yesterday I was begining to regret such an impulsive purchase - but ...

St. Mary's Lighthouse plus a bonus squirrel .... lol
Back out with the K-5 and Sigma 10-20 (and my wellies) this evening for a shot I've been wanting to do for a while at St. Mary's. Landscape and portrait versions attached. And I thought I'd chuck a squirrel in from the other day in case anyone thinks I'm neglecting them :lol::lol: by , o...

Lemurs - Up Close & Personal
This is a very good set. Curious about #1. I keep going back to it. Did you purposely focus on the hand/paw?

Lemurs - Up Close & Personal
You're right about #1. It is (by normal measures) out of focus because the 'standard' rule is to focus on the nearest pupil. But in this case it works extremely well. It somehow adds an intimacy that would not be there otherwise.

This is a very good set. Curious about #1. I keep going back to it. Did you purposely focus on the hand/paw? Thanks Alan. Yes of course I did ! No I am still kicking myself for not taking more shots to make certain I hit focus on the eyes (but he moved off quickly so ...), as you can see at that...
