I think that to get this to work properly you need to apply different settings to different parts of the scene. Which is a lot of work. The clouds in #1 are spot on but the rest for me is overdone. Copy the clouds to a new layer and hide it. Then do your adjustments to get the rest of the sc...

Various recent shots
Both Kingfisher shots were taken at a local park on a small pond.The first Kingfisher is a 50% crop taken from the path. I went back the next day and sat by the side of the small pond in the bushes and got the second shot [on the same perch]. It's a juvenile female with a ring on it's right leg. ...

Maldon Regatta
Thanks Gareth. I think your right, loosing the gull & reducing the empty foreground would be an improvement. I've been back for a couple more of their annual regattas since these where taken, but the light's not been as good 7 my location may have been less favorable as well. Hopefully I'll manage...

A Walk in the Woods
On the way back from dropping off Granddaughter #2, I paused to take a few shots at Dam House in Astley. All with Q with 5-15mm, and on a firm tripod. and then back home for coffee and internet! :)

Some of my lake shots from satday
Great stuff Shaun, as you say 'it makes me want to go back'. I'd like to think it wasn't luck with the mist - we planned it well and got up at the right time. I think we made the most of the conditions and I will certainly not forget this in a long time - it will take some beating! Regards Dav...

Early Autumn
I particularly like the first one, I think it would be great in B&W..... Do you mind me trying? Feel free :wink: Do you want me to send you the full size image this evening? She should be in with a good chance of winning with a Dad like you :D Flattery will get you everywhere! Unfortunately, she (...

Head on
I don't think the DOF was that much? Its gone at the mouth area. Surely f11 or 16 would have pushed it a bit further back?

At sea with a Q- much more than just another compact!
Just back from sailing in Turkish waters where I was without my K5 kit mainly because of EasyJet's luggage limitations. The Q's sensor's competence impressed me, as did the image quality sustained by such a teeny camera, so for everyone's interest I thought I'd put up a couple of examples. They ar...

At sea with a Q- much more than just another compact!
You press the AV/+- button when previewing the JPG. As long as you don't power off the Q you have the option when playing back the last image too. There's a hint that appears :) As soon as you power off, the option to save RAW is gone. Matt

At last (bird)
Excellent shots Don ! Love the first, the second looks slightly over-exposed to me (bring the colours back to those of #1 and I'll be happy again) :mrgreen:

Summery Devon
Here's four shots taken this August on the family trip down to Devon. I suffer from Dad with a Camera syndrome when on holiday (a common enough complaint I think), so that's my main excuse if unable to get many decent scenics. But thats made up for with a brilliant camera and lens, and high quality ...

A Damp Cumbria
thanks for the new comments. A bit of a thread resurrection there :-) To be honest due to my father being a bit poorly I haven't managed to get out much at all. Couple of days away using the Nikon and that was it. Just getting back to using the Pentax and hopefully a day out with it tomorrow. ...

A Damp Cumbria
#1 is a terrific version of this already spectacular image of yours, mark. - the darker tones on the island really enhance the composition. #2 ain't half bad either! Good to see you back on here. I can sympathise with 'ailing parent syndrome' :(

The Hepworth Gallery Wakefield
for my personal tastes I'd also pull back couple of stops or so on exposure... looks too light (and a little washed out) for my personal tastes
