Waxwings on Rowan Tree
Thanks for comments everyone - much appreciated. I see your grey skies do detract a little from the shots - someone was trying to teach me how to change grey to blue the other day (I don't have PS though and it's tough to do in Aperture). A useful skill to learn perhaps ;) Good point Kevin. Photo...

New K-5 first shots
There, it's happened again! Just as I find I've garnered enough cash for a modern DSLR (in this case, a lovely blue K-30 at the "bargain" price of £319, which is 6.3 tanks-ful of petrol) someone writes something to make me feel I'd be better off sticking with my beloved K10. I just went from a K10 t...

More Waxwings - DA 300
Photographed some Waxwings on Saturday with the Siggy 150-500. Well I got another chance to capture them on Sunday. This time used the DA* 300mm. The shots I took on Saturday with the Siggy were mostly taken at fovcal lengths not too far either side of 300mm, so it made an interesting comparison....

More Waxwings - DA 300
Slightly better light, larger aperture allowing increased shutter speeds and finally using a lovely 300mm prime. Don't underestimate the value of this!!! The main reason your set here has so much impact is the depth caused by the narrower DOF due to the wider aperture. This is more important tha...

More Waxwings - DA 300
Thanks for comments everyone. As for the shutter speed/aperture combination, shutter speed is key. F8 would have been fine for these, there still would have been seperation from the background. Unfortunately at f8 to maintain a reasonable ISO, I'd need to reduce the shutter speed. Sharpness and f...

Atmospheric Ruins
how did you get rid of the colour cast that the Hitech filter gives? to get back to such natural colours As Darkskies has mentioned, the best way is to set a custom white balance on the camera. This corrects any blue cast and then it's easy to adjust to personal taste in post processing. Also, it ...

A couple more night shots
For night shots I honestly wouldn't have any other lens than the humble kit lens. The Tamron 17-50 for example produces a significant amount of lens flares during long exposures. The 18-55 controls the light very well. I've shown this pic to the forum a short while back, but for those that didn't...

It would be back in the 70/80's. We used to compete in a sprint and hill climb championship run by the ANECCC. but also in separate events like Harewood. So I don't remember if Oulton was one of the separate ones.
