Ragwort
A few pictures of some Ragwort in the field at the back of our house. A very common weed but very photogenic. Taken with my recently acquired FA100 I think this is a solider beetle, the colour goes rather well with the yellow! Any comments welcomed.

Testing the newSigma 50-500mm OS
Took the new Sigma out for a test the other evening (actually had a little sunshine for a couple of hours) and have to say I am impressed with the sharpness of the lens. Unfortunately it is going back Thursday to be replaced due to a focusing problem (thanks for a painless swap SRS) but overall I am...

Testing the newSigma 50-500mm OS
Hi Stuart .. mine is the 50-500mm, from your sig you have the 150-500mm? Anyway the focusing issue is that at 500mm if I autofocus from minimum to maximum focal distance the lens will just not lock on but I can manually focus to infinity and then it locks fine. You can hear the lens struggling to...

Testing the newSigma 50-500mm OS
Occasionally I find mine initially goes the wrong way when focusing if it's initially miles out. I haven't seen any hunting backwards and forwards though. Admittedly I do tend to help it sometimes by MFing to close to the focus point.

Testing the newSigma 50-500mm OS
Admittedly I do tend to help it sometimes by MFing to close to the focus point. Yup it's fine when I do that. I've noticed that occasionally with my 60-250, at the long end and the DA* 300 I had too, maybe you should bung that on and see if the same thing happens? It does seem plenty sharp ...

Absolutely stunned by my K-5. Night shots hand-held.
Great stuff...... there will be no keeping you in now! :mrgreen: Absolutely. Now I've moved back to Chester and live a 5 min drive from the City Centre, and how much work I can acheive in a short space of time, i'll definitely be doing this more often. In the space of one 1h 30m I took about ...

How to post images new!
My first pic other than my Avatar, which is just a smaller cut version, so I'm testing here. I slowly sneaked up on this fella and he heard my footsteps and swiveled his head around making an amusing photo. Hopefully not too much detail has gone in shrinking. Taken on a KP, DA*300 back in Novembe...

You really must paint your back door John. An impressive shot. What would be the effect of doing 'in camera' HDR regards Bernard

Open Door
Never mind painting the back door, both of you need to do some serious dusting. TBH I only guessed it might be HDR after seeing your wide shot in the gallery. This is what HDR is really for IMO

Model Shoot 09 08 2012
Just spotted this. Both attractive pictures of attractive girls, but I agree with Yves about the backgrounds. You may not know this, but a wider aperture will reduce the depth of field, and throw the background out of focus. :twisted: Just one question. Which is Melissa, and which is Melissa? ...

Model Shoot 09 08 2012
I don't mind the background in the 2nd picture. Nothing could distract me from that girl :) but agree with others that narrower DOF would have improved the shots. Come on John get yourself an Pentax A50/1.2 ! - you know you want to :) Candid shot of random stranger at Mobile burger stand @ ...

Model Shoot 09 08 2012
Steady on there Algi! Shot one - something about the angle, the crop, and the direction the model is looking, doesn't quite work for me - it's as if the shot was snapped while she was posing for someone else. Shot two - the crop feels a bit tight and I don't feel best use is being made of the...

Model Shoot 09 08 2012
I like these John :D Now I am no portrait photographer and won't even dare to attempt argue the rights and wrongs but I like these as they are - I like being able to see the back drop as well particularly in number 2 :D Interestingly though when Timbo posts a picture no one seems to notice the...

Model Shoot 09 08 2012
This isn't a comment on JR's photography but the image of Melissa 2 annoys me...the girl has obviously gone to great lengths with the make up to give her a 'glow' but her bare arms are very fair in comparison... It's just like when chavs apply fake tan on the features...yet their hands and back of t...

Emperor Dragonfly
I took these with my Sigma 500mm f4.5 EX DG. I struggled a bit with the second shot because the butterfly was about the size of my thumbnail [60% crop] and the Sigma's minimum focus distance of 4.5 Metres. by , on Flickr by , on Flickr

Some recent dragonflies
Wonderful set, Neil. The inflight no.1 is superbly executed, so difficult but so good: focus, colour, depicting the creature doing what it does so beautifully in life. The reflected ovipositing image is great. Who cares about the rule of thirds when the the picture is this good?! Thanks for...
