Some recent dragonflies
Thanks folks. My luck ran out soon after as when I was taking the top image on Thursday my DA*300mm wouldn't let me manual focus beyound 1.7m and then on Fri morning the AF decided to do the same. Taken it to SRS who will send it off Monday. Regarding the reflection image, I tried cropping ...

Some recent dragonflies
Well Neil! This in-flight set is even better! The images really are superb, the best I've seen here. Could you give us some details of lens, etc.? Were they taken with catch-in-focus? ('cause if not, they're miraculous!!!) Most inspirational set. Roger. p.s., agree with Womble, like ...

Recent trip to Chester Zoo
Hi Annie. The Zebra section I went to seemed to be a new addition - much more accessible. I'd say if you came back you'd have better luck. Dont hold me to that though! :wink:

Hi Annie. The Zebra section I went to seemed to be a new addition - much more accessible. I'd say if you came back you'd have better luck. Dont hold me to that though! :wink: LOL there was an empty enclosure so perhaps they were about to move into the new place. I did get a distant pic of a rabbit i...

Recent trip to Chester Zoo
I like the Giraffe shot, great detail! I'll have to go back to the zoo since buying the K5 (The one I told you my friend was selling....I gave in to temptation):D Glad you got sorted too, Bob

Meteor ?
Jeff Currently on caravan holiday south of Carlisle throughout the past week so was just shooting from here. Had intended to go up on the moors on way to Keswick but with showers threatening I decided not. Was using the K5 with 12-24mm lens wide open, 30sec exposures maximum as didn't want too m...

More Fringe
Thanks for the kind comments. One of our other members was there on the same day, unfortunately, we missed each other, but he did comment how busy the place was. I have gone to The Royal Mile quite a few times over the last few years, and have never seen it so busy near the start of the Festiv...

More Fringe
p.s. I was down near you in Ashington over the last couple of days, the place was fine, unfortunately the reason for me being there turned to shit. That's Ashington for you. At The Fringe the crowds got too bad for me so by the middle of the afternoon I went to chill out in Princess Street Gardens ...

Forgot to come back to this. Personally I prefer the second crop. I love the monochrome. Really good subject.

A Surfeit of L'escargot
Thanks John. I did think of cropping the the photo but the idea was to show the quantity. I'm only 10 mins from the dunes so will have to get back there. I have a "better, I think" photo in the gallery :)

Did a shoot
Alan, how are you keeping? "This is something camera club judges tend to look for, personally I think it's a load of codswallop" Sorry, we will have to agree to disagree on this. Portraits look better when there is white on either side of the Iris, which balances the eye, and that's got nothi...

Rufus
This was taken 3 years ago with a K20D and a 28mm of some sort, could have been a Takumar f/3.5 or a Vivitar 28 f/2.8 CF (Komine). Anyways I have updated my version of Lightroom to 4.1 and have started redoing some of my original files. This was clipping on highlights on Rufus's back and I cropped o...

Nice shot! I wouldn't say the highlights are unacceptably clipped. There is actually a nice range of tones in his coat. And I can't see his eyes to tell if they're in focus or not!!

First Try At Bats This Year
Down at the river tonight. K7, 18-55 @ 50mm. f6.3, ISO 800, manual/pre-set focus. AF240FT on camera flash, manual high. Pretty heavily cropped & adjusted in PSE9, then NeatImage noise reduction. Any comments, criticism or (espec...

Derwentwater
I like the second one best too. I particularly like the way the tree isn't in the immediate foreground, which would be what you expect, but set a little way back. The stones in the immediate foreground provide interest and lead on to the tree, just a little differently from a lot of shots like thi...

For me, the composition of #2 functions to focus attention on the vast depth of the scene. Starting from the pebbles - they, the tree, the three rocks, the hills and their reflections, all serve to funnel the eye into the gap between the hills to view the distant mountains. But my view is then pulle...

The Girls at V Festival 2012
Shot V Festival over the weekend for a client, as there where lots of girls on shoulders around I decided to make a little album. All shot from the pit Samsung GX20 Tokina 100-300mm f/4 manual focus. More from the weekend along with gig shots can be seen on my flic...

Milk Splash
Thanks for the feedback, all. I think that any softness in the first three may be the size of the droplets showing-up shortcomings in focusing, with the crop size coming into play as well. It's possible, also, that with the "corona" shots, depth of field is insufficient to hold the whole structu...

Thanks, Alan. Flash was the only illumination, there being the vestiges of daylight from the window, but it wasn't the sunniest evening ever! I would not have thought the ambient light would have registered at iso200,1/180th at f16...? I thought about this quite a lot & I think it's a combina...
