Which do you prefer and be honest.

A and C, both B and D are out of focus, B much more so than D, to my eyes anyway. Non of them are out of focus.

walkeja wrote: Non of them are out of focus. Sorry but to me none of them look sharp. A seems soft. B seems to be well out of focus, could be camera shake. C is soft and D is softer still. Both C 7 D could be due to camera shake as well.

Which do you prefer and be honest.

Sycamore Seeds: A. Because B has such bad camera shake. A isn't entirely sharp, but that could be down to resizing. Rock on Beach: C. Both are very soft (camera shake?) and 'flat' - desperately in need of some PP to give the image some contrast (or adjust in camera settings to look more 'fi...

Which do you prefer and be honest.

Sycamore - A rather than B. B is a long way from sharp. I think that the feeling here for me is not to take shots of plants in a wind, where movement is bound to be present? Rcoks. IMHO neither is in focus. This could be either a focus issue or very bad camera shake. B is the least sharp of the t...

Which do you prefer and be honest.

Non of them are out of focus. "None of them is out of focus" might be correct. :) Exif data: A - 300mm 1/100s B - 160mm 1/25s C - 55mm 1/6s D - 55mm 1/8s If the shots were hand-held, these shutter speeds are likely to lead to images that show camera shake, because they are too slow. A ...

The image looks a touch out of focus to me? This type of shot can be quite difficult, especially as the backdrop of the building can be quite distracting. I'd think it might work better taken more face-on rather than at an angle, keeping the building symettrical behind the people. Also, as this is a...

help/advice

If you're looking for a light weight and small support, thought about a carbon fibre monopod,or one of those walking 'sticks' with a tripod screw on top? Or, one of the travel tripods with fold back legs that make it very compact? One manufacturer - Giottos - used the 'Vetruvian' man to adverti...

What type of bird?

For some reason their numbers have dropped drastically this year. They usually do at this time of year (at least around here). They'll be back in huge numbers when my apples are ripe. :x regards Bernard

First time lucky with a Kx

I've not posted anything here for a while, having been distracted somewhat by my other two cameras. Today I borrowed my wife's Kx, my K5 being away for repair. I like it! It helped having some good weather to try it out. I'm looking forward to getting the K5 back, but the Kx is a very able substitut...

First time lucky with a Kx

Excellent set! It just shows how good the IQ is of other Pentax bodies. There are those who have said that they wouldn't go back to a KR with any lens. I wonder if they would consider a KX? Best regards

First early morning shot

It looks very blue to me, did you use AWB? I find that it doesn't work very well early in the mornings. Also the foreground looks in focus but the buildings look a bit out of focus to me. I would also try cropping a bit from the bottom and making it a more panoramic view.

Plastic Wrap

Now that I know there may be a market for it - would anybody like to buy my old Sigma 28mm prime that achieves exactly the same effect without any props? Something to do with a glue problem with 2 elements I think - but works perfectly - if the above image is perfect:D:D All reasonable offers ...

Plastic Wrap

Reminds me of the days when we used to experiment on film cameras by shooting through things like the coloured see through crinkly wrappers off quality street chocolates and let's not pretend that I was the only one who did things like that - please - guys - somebody back me up - it wasn't just me ...

Plastic Wrap

Ok Thanks, I thought you'd somehow wrapped some plastic around the lens. But discounted that as it wouldn't be in focus. regards Bernard

Down by the sea

Oh b****r Alan - I have just spent weeks convincing myself that I am perfectly happy with my Cokin P set after trying one of Shaun's (puma) Hitech grads and you go and do this - thanks a lot - back to fighting the FBA!!!! That said - really very nice results indeed - Number 1 is stunning, number ...

Abandoned tool company

Few weekends back went to this rather large site - a very well known tool company moved premises leaving this place behind. Some good street art in this place.

Thanks for all the feed back, all CC taken into consideration and will have another go with it.

I like the first photo, the second looks like some type of very large rat :shock:, not pleasant to look at as it draws the focus away from the little girl.

Pentax X90

I like the image and I also liked the X90 when I had one. The close focus is very impressive.
