Spitfire
Ah Kris, brings back memories of one of the few (Spitfires) on one of the few (sunny days this summer), when I was lucky enough to see an early mark II fly in low from the west before carrying out a slow display over the coast... Lovely to see a recently taken shot of one in monochrome.

Stan, I think number 3 is the best. what aperture did you use? Also did you manual or auto focus?

mmmm Its ok not to have everything in focus. I think you'd struggle to get it all sharp even stopped down given its position in each shot.Taking that into consideration, I'd have looked to get the head and at least one antenna sharp. And I'd have happily upped the ISO to enable a higher shutter s...

Don't go for Green! You will only be able to shoot JPEG in green that way losing a huge percentage of the detail in your shots and that lost detail is unrecoverable. The amount of detail you can claw back from a RAW file is amazing. Remember a golden rule, a grainy sharp shot is better than a blurre...

Anderton Boat lift and beyond (but not far) :o)
Very interesting images Stuey, I have a bit of an interest in canals, only because what was a lock on the Chesterfield Canal is in our back garden, but is sadly now dry. I've never seen the boat lift, it looks like a good place to visit. I like your images, number 4 is may favourite. Regard...

Smeggy's Olympic Torch Pics 2012 - VOL ONE
What I do like is the vigorous sense of composition. This gives me a sense that the photographer has acted knowing what he is doing and making his statement with positive intent. I would expect nothing less from Smeggypants, who is sure of his own moral ground. This comes across in the pictures. ...

Smeggy's Olympic Torch Pics 2012 - VOL ONE
Interestingly, I don't see that much evidence that a wide aperture approach has been used. I haven't tried to check the EXIF data, just used my eyes, but the effect and strength in these I think comes from the composition, not from an aperture setting. Hi John, I was basing the observation on certai...

Some Images - CC Please
Hello David, I think the "portrait" version of the first two doesn't work as well as a squarer crop. Perhaps in the "portrait" photos you were trying to avoid the "tired, hackneyed, cliched" lake district shots :) #3 Not sure about the van it looks "out of place", at our club we have been told to ...

Motorsport: Oulton Park Gold Cup
Quite probably, Mike. I'm not the only Pentax user with media access at Oulton, but I'm not sure the others were there during the weekend. I walked past Cascades on several occasions - were any of those nearby Firenzas anything to do with you? Next time, feel free to stop me. I fear other commitm...

Cowes Powerboat Classic 2012 (image intensive)
Apart from the first one, all excellent. The first one is a puzzle and looks wrong. This seems to be because the zone of sharp focus ends abruptly at the feet of the couple, as though drawn with a ruler. Everything in front is sharp as a tack, everything beyond is uniformly blurred. Very odd....

thanks for the comments :) Thanks for sharing Mike. My main curiosity with No.1 is how much of your kit was the person on the right carrying :) She was nothing to do with me but I imagined how she looked was the same as how I felt after that walk. Great shots, Mike. Hurst Castle is such a good...

Hand held in the garden
Hi Stan, it's a little out of focus; you should be able to get razor-sharp results with this lens given a bit of practice. Can you tell us what aperture it was taken at? Here's a couple of links to ones taken with the same lens, the first is sharp, the second not quite as good: Regards ...

Looks like you might be in closer than the min. focus of the lens. Still a nice shot and might sharpen up a bit more.

Just not in focus unfortunately, so not much to be done except shoot again and again...it's not an easy thing to get right. However, CarolG over at ePHOTOzine turns out vast numbers of insect images, all fantastic, day after day, so her portfolio is worth looking at for ideas.
