Hand held in the garden
Just to cheer you up Stan, I once posted a whole load of out of focus macros.:oops: https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/first-day-s-play-with-a-sigma-50mm-macro-30358/p-0#comm_345172 You just need to practice a bit :D If I get half as profficient as you Charlotte I will be well pleased.

Hand held in the garden
Charlotte has some amazing bug shots in the Gallery. I guess it's a branch of photography that's easy to have a go at but very difficult to do well, particularly if one in unused to manual focus.

Love the bird, love the shots, not at all sure about the PP - you seem to have lost so much detail from the feathers etc. and everything seems 'smoooooth'. Maybe the NR did this - which one did you use ? No NR used on these, I was surprised at the smoothness as well. f8,iso200,1/180,flash.Manual fo...

Thanks Alan (aka Blythman)
Nice Stan. Last cuckoo is my favourite. Think we were a bit far away for the first two. Just happy I was able to help, although I was jealous when the cuckoo appeared and you had my lens :cry: I went back for an hour after I dropped you off at home but had no luck. I did go back later this aftern...

Cuckoo hunt, this afternoon
Great catch Alan ! The last is a really beautiful shot. Well done indeed. Yesterday was my first outing with the D800 and Sigma 500 and we spotted 3 Oriental Cuckoos (2xM and 1xF) but I couldn't get any decent shots (record shots only) as these birds flew back and forth between two locations (in ...

Been out in the garden myself today, nowhere near as many macros shots as last summer, all down to the weather I think! CC as requested, only MO of course Pleasant shots all, however they do look noisy whether this is down to the ISO setting, crop or resize/upload I don't know. 1. Aesthetically a...

Thanks very much Shaun and Sean, your honest feedback is very much appreciated. Regarding the noise, the K-m shots were at ISO 400 and the noise is most apparent on those where the light was fairly dim. With the K-m, even ISO 400 is pushing it as far as noise in shadow areas is concerned and I hav...

I'm interested in Sean's comments on #7, this has had a crop, although not severe. It was taken with the Sigma 105 macro wide open at F2.8, so most of the image is out of focus by definition; my objective here was to get the eye sharp. The DOF on this one is almost non-existant and I'm unsure what...

Generally struggle with 'Street'...
Really like the Lady with the Ice cream shot,. :) Prefer to see them posted at a decent size though. the forum allows upto 800wide I thought 6 large images would annoy folk so went small... Won't happen again!:D The last one isn't sharp (which obviously annoys me) but I kinda liked his 'strut'...

Fish eye in the fields
I also prefer the 2nd shot. Camera pointing upwards, self timer and stand well back to avoid getting in shot, simples really.

First Shot with new lens
I wasn't saying it was bad, in fact the 1st bird is as good as you going to get of a sparrow :D The focus looks to be on the brown leaf above its head?

Few pics from the lakes
Hi chaps. Was at a wedding (as a guest) in Windermere a week back. We took the opportunity to stay a few days. Here are a few shots I took whilst there. As usual, I welcome any feedback! DA* 50-135: Sigma 30mm: Sigma 10-20:

Clouds
Some cloud pics from the last month or so, some from the K5 and some from the Kx, which I am using again as my K5 was incorrectly re-assembled during it's last repair (the shutter release fell off). It came back with the focus select thingy jammed and the camera stuck in manual focus, so it's gone b...

Clouds
Thanks for all the comments! I've just got back from a trip and was pleasantly surprised to find so many positive comments! Being monsoon season, I have had quite a few opportunities to get pictures of clouds recently. The night storm shot I was especially pleased with, as it's a 2.5 second hand-hel...
