Curborough Sprint - 17th March ( 15 photos )
Some nice shots, 5th and 11th are my favorites. Re 60-250, I have this and wouldn't use it for motorsport. It has a lovely IQ but I find it too slow to focus when panning or where a car spins off and you need a quick shot. Regards George

2013 Australian Grand Prix
Nice! Glad to see Kimi back on top. I love how that guy is like a machine, you put him in a car and say go. His post race interviews are amusingly monotone etc :) Melbourne didn't appear to turn on the weather this year but it still put on an interesting race. 2014 sees all new engines so tha...

Some club photography and the poorly reviewed DA* 16-50mm k-5 mkii
Back working at the club again. The club is really dark and with my original K-5 I had to use manual focus and zonal as it was just too dark for the suto focus to work. Cue arrival of the MKii and it works a treat in the club, even focussing on blacked out silhouettes!!! I love the combination...

M25 motorway
Today I received some more medium format transparencies sent back from my agency found in their files never used -- one was a photo I took of the M25 Motorway near Brentwood, Essex as a time exposure on my Pentax 6x7 Mk I and the 105mm f2.4 SMC Takumar lens, Kodak Ektachrome. It is a straight scan ...

Midnight Heron
I took this close to midnight on Saturday. I was by the River Dee in Chester where I live. At a part of the River there is a large weir where herons and cormorants tend to fish. I noticed the faint silhouette of this particular heron, and changed to my 55-300mm I'm glad I took with me. It was very d...

Assorted Children (Lots Of Them)
I really enjoy photographing children, probably my favourite genre. Here are some portraits I took at a school event - it was a Maths games day for a few of the local primary schools. I imagine it would be hard to do this in the UK now, fortunately in France attitudes are more relaxed. Photos...

Paying homage to the great Lowry
I was walking back home a couple of weeks back and took a detour across Eastgate St In Chester. I couldn't help but think how 'Lowry-esue' the scene in front of me was. So I took this shot and processed it to give a post Industrial Revolution/early 20th century feel. The people in the streets servin...

'The Guardian'
It's the low camera angle that makes this a good image. Nevertheless, I think it would benefit from losing the bottom inch - the most out of focus bit. Philip

2 Days of snow...
...in our back garden. No particular photographic value to these. It is still snowing, and this afternoon I may done my walking gear and head out up to the moors. Feel free to add your snow shots to the thread so we can compare inches:wink:!

2 Days of snow...
It was snowy but not very cold yesterday so against my better judgement, trying not to be a whimp all my life :D I went mad and took off to Bridgnorth. I failed to get many decent shots and on the way home thought my luck had changed when I spotted two deer feeding near to the roadside in some wood...

2 Days of snow...
Thanks.... looking back at my shots I needed to up the iso to speed up shutter coz with the train moving towards me I got a few blurry shots. However have not really shot this type before [ coming towards me ] so will up the shutter next time. Thanks again. Dave.

Half Marathon and Fun Run
Sunday was the day for the annual Brentwood Half Marathon and 3 mile Fun Run - I went 'On Spec'for three local newspapers -- no use -- no FEE ! I used mainly a 28-70m f4 SMC Pentax-FA lens from my gift MZ-5 and set continuous auto-focus as the runners set off and was disappointed to see that the...

2013 Malaysian Grand Prix
Bahrain possibly? Don't think I'll be back on the F1 trail until Monaco, after which I'll do a few European events and a couple of late-season long-hauls. In the interim, here is a revised, armpit-free landscape for John...

Good Friday in Brentwood
Yes -- it;s the 'back focus' problem when I have the K10D on 'auto-focus' -- I tried good old 'Manual Focus' with some and they are the sharp ones !

A saturday surprise
Hope you don't mind me crashing your excellent thread Alan but here's the train you photographed. It was the steam hauled Wansbeck charter train which went from Newcastle, round South East Northumberland, back through Newcastle and then on to Redcar and Saltburn. It had two steam locos, one on the f...

Excellent set of images, long time since I've been there, think I need to go back :-)

A few from Filey K10/K5
Hi guys :D Thanks for the comments - as for the processing they are all processed from raw files - yes, they have had contrast tweeks etc but it only occurred to me when proceesing them that the may now be a little dark as I tried to process them 'reasonably' close to how I remember them but what...

Which Conversion?
I think the conversion of #2 might look good with image #1. At least as far as the building and sky are concerned. The ground looks better in #1. Something about the image#2 that seems to lack detail. Dunno if its the conversion, that is it different focal length, or just soft but I don't know ...
