A few with the DA*300 @ f4
Thanks guys. David the birds were all taken at pretty much minimum focus distance. The rat was 2 to 3 times that distance

A few with the DA*300 @ f4
On K5, if IS was the last thing accessed on the info pane, you can press info then scroll the aperture wheel one click, then shoot your next picture. It goes straight out of the info pane as you press shutter button to focus this next shot. Very fast change. The wheel changes whatever is highlighte...

Pheasants in the Garden
Thanks. Should I go outside they'd run off and hide till I come back in again! And a lower shot would be of just a brick wall, so it isn't straight forward to take that advice. It was just at that moment the lighting was right so had to get a shot. It was the only one out of ten which was sharp a...

Teignmouth Pier, Devon
Lovely picture of the pier. I saw Teignmouth in the 70's, does it still have that puppet show that you put money in and the puppets dance? I was three when I first saw that and it delighted me, then I visited again years later and it was still there, GREAT!!! (Big baby I know) anyway now my daught...

Easter motorsport double - Thruxton & Oulton Park
Great set Simon. I thought I was back at a 1960's Croft All great shots except the Anglia.... which shouldn't be allowed on a track :wink:- What's the matter with an Anglia. Ever heard of BDA engines?

Easter motorsport double - Thruxton & Oulton Park
I'm used to Colin driving a black Ginetta, seems a rather drastic way to revert to his old colours. Glad to see he got out OK. Not much left of the body but perhaps the engine may have survived as the fire appears to be more at the back, in any event an expensive incident. Great photos as always...

Mallory Park Take Two
Having had no sleep since Friday night due to rallying activities involving a long drive to Somerset, a night in the forests manning time controls and running a clubmates rally car, I was not sure I would be back in time (or in any fit state to meet up with Simon Arron again at Mallory today. In the...

Mallory Park Take Two
Crackin shots, takes me back to Thruxton in the 80s, all the camera guys would be on the chicane, rider got it all wrong and hit the barriers to our left, tyres, bodywork etc going in all directions, we all thought thats it then; 2 minutes later he appeared, helmet in hand, saying, "anybody get tha...

Mallory Park Take Two
Thanks for the comments, I was glad to get back to work this morning for a rest! Here are few more with the DA55-300 (manual focus) and one with the DA*200 for comparison. DA*200

Snowdon sunrise from this morning
The snow is definitely on the melt Bob although compared to here in North East Wales Snowdonia didn't really have that much, I think it was only really Pen Y Pass where the orad conditions were tricky after the falls. Stuey..only had good light for 40 minutes until the cloud descended, rest of th...

Short Walk
On the first shot, an f11 aperture setting is not open enough.....try 5.6 or larger. Then, you might try raising your ISO from 400 to 800.....your K-x has a wonderful low noise sensor (you could even go higher with ISO if low light). What both of those changes will help with is to allow a faster shu...

Short Walk
Looking back through some of my older pictures I tend to have used to quite a small aperture - even on pictures that I was quite happy with (see below which was F8 ) I guess this might be because people talk about lenses being sharper when stopped down a bit. I'm now thinking that a wider aperture w...

Posing with new cap - Pentax K30
My son got a new cap for easter and posed for some shots a the local slide. I've been very impressed with the K30's autofocus compared to my previous K7 and K10, not to mention the DR. These were taken with a tamron 17-50 2.8, @f2.8 and f4.0. I have found the K30 much more accuate to focus at wid...

Few from the zoo
I'd bet if you sent their marketing dept a low-res-heavily-watermarked copy of it, they'd probably engage you in a conversation to buy the rights... It is a stunning shot... Thanks, I'll keep it mind, I think there are a lot of pictures around of Am Bam though, so I'm not so sure. A lovely se...

Motorsport: Mallory Park take two, volume two
Looks like the guy uses the bike to go to work and at the weekend sticks a 150 plate on it and races. What machine is it? It's a Honda CB650, Jeff, although I'm no expert on bikes. I enjoy watching them, but have never really ridden. I was once press-ganged into taking part in a mini-moto race at Si...

I like this Kris, great use of close focus to fill the frame. Regards David

MG Car Club @ Curborough Sprint ( Image Heavy )
I got a couple of reasonable ones but my panning shots were rubbish. I enjoyed it enormously and will be back there at the end of the month.

Yongnuo yn160s LED light
Great lights, I've got the slightly smaller CN-126. Handy for focus testing because the light is daylight. Better on a small tripod. Be careful with the light level it falls as the batteries run out. -

Tropical World. Leeds
Ginger is top notch I agree. the Plastic has had the effect of a soft focus filter and actually added something to the image, I would try a bit of selective sharpening around the eye though. Butterflies are nice too, can't say as I've any shots as good as that from Tropical World, every time I vi...

Five K1000 Images
Yes, C200 is the bog standard 3 for a fiver stuff in Asda. I have mixed results with it, sometimes it seems to come out a bit grainy, then other times its pretty good. But that may have something to do with the developing. I just get Asda to develop to negatives (£2 a roll) then I scan those on the ...
