Is It Natural?
I like it - as to whether it's natural - possibly not - but I wasn't there so don't know. Many years ago we were in France on holiday and I'd just come back from my shower , Raymond was about to go and buy the fresh breakfast croissants so that puts the time about 7.30am We were camped in Saumur ...

Is It Natural?
Ahh, not to worry David I think you have misinterpreted my 'shaking the head' comment. To elaborate: From developmental experience both personal and success of others I have followed, I was suggesting, very positively and particularly with regard to this photographic genre, that you will carry on...

Is It Natural?
Good evening everyone, thanks for your input so far. The first thing I have to say is that the post has had the desired effect - i.e. it has sparked debate. The second thing is that I am even more convinced than I was before that everyone views images entirely from their own perspective - we are a...

Is It Natural?
The problem with your other image was that the blues were so intense it bore little relation to the sort of colour palette you'd expect to find in reality. The colours in this image resemble the pinks you sometimes see on a misty dawn. But back to the other image - I do not recall ever seeing vibran...

Is It Natural?
There has been a lot of debate about what is simply a colour cast in both of Davids pictures. Hi Bob, thanks for your observations. You are correct in the most part, but on the image in this particular thread there isn't a colour cast. I have purposefully altered the highlight colours and made the...

Autumn in the North West Highlands
There are wild deer all over the Highlands of Scotland, but you have to pick the right time of day (usually twilight) and be lucky and/or very patient to see them. Are deer more active during the twilight or is that more a consideration of getting some nice lighting ? :) I know they are all over ...

Wonderful use of differential focus Kris. Are these from your archives or have you still a stock of Ilford Delta hidden away in your fridge? David PPG: http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/artists/davidtrout

Football Match with the DA* 300mm
Love number 2, how fast did you find the focussing? Where they taken at f/4?? Yes, they were taken at f/4. I set it at f/4 and then forgot all about it, hoping the inherent sharpness of the lens wide open would be good enough but next time I'll experiment by taking some at f/5.6 if I have the light...

Mustang GT photoshoot
Very nice indeed, processing really suits the location Numbers 5 and 6 are my favourite, good looking lady in the others but to be fair it's all about the car at the end of the day. :D Edit: Number 2 needs the pole at the back cloning out though and seeing as you left the number plate intact i...

Nantwich Firework display
Where you next to me to your left there was a family with a torch ??? Yes! I left what turned out to be only a few minutes before the end, had to get back home and then back out to the pub. I wasn't going to go but then realised what a clear night it was. Thanks for the comments everyone. Ther...

One or two from Canterbury
Thank you Ali and David - much appreciated. David - I would happily share processing hints but I don't think I'll be in the Sheffield area anytime soon:?. In the meantime I can offer few highlights if you'd like... For all images I shoot RAW and then give them an initial adjustment in PSE8 - u...

300 mm DA* + Kenko 1.5
Very nice! It's a versatile lens alright. Works great (in good(ish)light) with the Pz TC's for a bit more reach, and is also great with an extension tube (manual focus) for large insects / close-up stuff. :D

The wheel of a bus....
Well you have certainly not posted any clichéd photos from your US trip that's for sure. I know I did when I came back. Again I like the idea of this one, but not the execution so much. I'd have liked to see a bit more of the landscape in the hubcap, and a closer crop on the hubcap too.
