80104 - Swanage Railway
BR standard class 4 80104, shot at Corfe Castle station on the Swanage Railway, back in September. As you can see, there's a fantastic view of the castle from the railway line at this point. You sometimes have to 'queue up' at this vantage point (top end of the down platform) as it's a very popul...

Dried Flower Stack
I think a lesser contrasting background might make this image more interesting, or even a monochrome conversion. The stack seems to have worked well but at f8 I'd expect most of it to be in focus anyway. Try the same shot but at f2.8 with about 10 - 20 shots at different focus points. The i...

Dried Flower Stack
Thanks, Peter. I used f8 (& 100 iso)to keep IQ up as much as poss. in each shot, it took all 5 to achieve complete focus in the stack, even at f8! Fair comment re the b/g, though! Didn't you have lots of adult-wasp-complaints?! Great (stack)shot! (Got any more?) Roger.

Dried Flower Stack
This was a 5 shot stack ... I did take more but only used 5 as I only wanted the antenna and eyes in focus.

100,000 photos
That's got to be worth reporting back to Pentax and the photo mags. A chap I know using an well known alternative brand has rarely exceeded 30K on his last 3 cameras and he thinks THAT is good. regards Bernard

First shots with the Q and 5-15mm
Bob, you did very well not to get snagged on some zoo railings with all that equipment hanging around your neck. I've heard of photographers using 2 identical bodies with different lenses, but perhaps never quite the extreme difference presented with your 2 choices. The Q is perhaps still the sm...

First shots with the Q and 5-15mm
No need to wait for a misty morning John, I took these just before midnight:wink: You are absolutely right - the design really does encourage experimentation. You think of things you never would consider with a gripped K-5 and chunky tripod. Plus, the focus peaking available if you update the ...

Close encounter with a Cormorant!
Cracking, I saw you post them on facebook/twitter earlier, they are great shots Cheers Neil, still working out how to get the most out of social media, might have to ask you for some tips! Super shots, like the "You lookin' at me" expression in #2 :) Thanks Stan, really wanted a cracking head on ...

Emma B at Whitby (no not that Emma b)
surprisingly easy to be honest - no magic, no particular technique. main thing I always try to do is ensure I focus on the eyes. Try get the exposure as correct as I can in camera and well that's it really. The camera , lens and subject do the rest :) Thanks for the kind feed back :)

Emma B at Whitby (no not that Emma b)
Looking back my response could be interpretied as arrogant so in colder light of day/on reflection I think my reply would be more: Very kind and overly generous of you I feel Jean-claude, I would not have thought it stunning. I am very happy with it mind. all the books etc major on how imnport...

In the garden
Loving the flight shots Alan. Any special technique or are you not telling us about the other 2000 shots :wink: ? Thanks Danny. Pre focus and wait. Not 2000. But deleted about 100:lol: Kept about 15

In the garden
Great shots Alan, what we've come to expect from you. Amazed at the number of birds and species in the garden at "Peter Barratts" yesterday must go back with a camera :)

Perspective and star trails with the K-5
Thanks Dave. It was a rather foggy morning for the first one. I made a cheeky detour on my way to work to grab it. The second was just being opportunistic whilst doing Xmas shopping. The third was just playing around on a very clear night in my back garden. Just under 300 shots merged together...

TriggerTrap iPhone App
K5's shutter was supposed to be really quiet Yes it is, and the Apple microphone is very sensitive too! :roll: (It all depends where you put the iPhone in relation to the camera ;) ) Had another tweak of the circuit this morning - all seems good now! Now I could build it on a small bit of str...

TriggerTrap iPhone App
I have an iphone 5. Do you think it will work the same? Yes, it should be ok :) You only need one of the circuits for shutter release. If you want focus AND shutter release then you need two sets of this circuit ;) The BAT85 Schottky diode is required - the iPhone volume is not enough to relia...

TriggerTrap iPhone App
And the last one (I think...) :D The ground connection on the connectors is clear, connected each to other, but the focus and shooting connections , are crossed? A second circuit for focus would be also cross? I mean, from L iphone connector (for example) to R camera connector?

Another Snowdonia series..Llyn Gwynant photographs this time
Thanks for the comments and detailed feedback...to answer a couple of points: Shot 1 isn't as compositionally strong as I would have hoped, the reason being I saw the mist as I drove down the valley and only had a few minutes to get there, setup the tripod and take the photo before it disappeare...

Short Eared Owl
Thanks Steve. I think it's me rather than the lens! It was all a bit quick, actually. I was driving along & there he was. Stop the car, fire-up the camera & start shooting. Auto-focus because I didn't know how tolerant of me he would be! It was pretty dull light, but the last thing I was thinking ...
