Today's Olympics Cycle Race
Particularly on the shots almost facing the cyclists the crowd and barrier look more in focus that the subjects. but they all look soft too. For cyclists I would have chosen a wider aperture and faster shutter speed, and prefocussed on the spot where the subjects are when you fire the shutter ...

White Admiral Butterfly
Alan ,I have a 1.4tc but I tend not to use it/need it. There is quite a drop in sharpness [I think] No birds in flight with the 300mm, What about this 300mm manual focus. Having owned a Sigma 150-500mm I think the Sigma 300mm/500mm lenses are different animals altogether. I think if you tried ...

Vivitar 28mm first outing on the K5
Ah Stuey, these brought back a lot of lovely memories of when we used to stay in Llangollen. It's a lovely area. Nice shots with this camera/lens combination. I enjoy using 28mm manual focus lenses as well. It's about as "long" as I can manage with for most days out.

Dynamic Yunnan
My wife saw one of these shows with friends on their trip to Yunnan (fabulous place - probably China's richest province both culturally and for biodiversity). Next time I go back there it won't be to play golf ! #2 is quite superb.

Dynamic Yunnan
Lovely images all. I really like the last one but is it possible to pull back the whites a tiny bit? Looks like a great spectacular and some lovely shots of it. K.

Couple from the Olympics
Thanks all. We saw handball and basketball for £20 a piece, pretty good value. I think I will try and pop back as well and spend more time on the photography!

Couple from the Olympics
I quite like the first handball shot with the ball carrier in focus but the most of remaining players blurred - makes it more dynamic than some of the others.

Tamron Adaptall II 80-200mm f2.8 Model 30A
I'd send that lens back - everyone of those reflections shows a massive amount of distortion :shock: :wink:

K5 Dynamic Range...
..and a bit of tweaking ;-) I recently visited a friend of mind in Rutland and during the afternoon he took me for a little tour of the area (I'd never been before). When driving through a small village he pointed out a particular tree that he liked and asked if I'd take a photograph of it som...

K5 Dynamic Range...
I love #2 - even though it does look contrived with, as mentioned, the ambient light on the tree not matching the sunset. Certainly does have a very 'African wilderness' look to it, you can even spot the Fuqawi tribesmen, camouflaged as sheep, stalking the photographer. Surprised Hullman made it...

What type of Hawk is this?
Hi, Rob. A pal of mine who claims to be an "international bird expert" (and shortly to appear on Autumnwatch on TV, if he's to be believed) came across this thread and was eager to help but the image is no longer available. Any chance of sticking it back on to satisfy his curiosity? I'm sure he'd gi...

What type of Hawk is this?
Sounds more complicated to identify than you'd think. My guy came back with this: "My initial thoughts are that it is a common buzzard (Buteo buteo) as they are massively variable in colouration. "There are probably species of hawk or buzzard in the States or world-wide that might be similar – a...

Lemurs!
Hello all. I have been looking back through one or two older pics and found a set of Lemur pics which I thought I would try in black and white. They were all taken couple of years ago using K7 + DA* 200 as I recall. Very endearing creatures! 1. The Swinger 2. The Poser 3. The Nibble...
