Deep In The Heart of the Freezer
Last time it was the dishwasher, today I thought I'd see how the W90 got on in the freezer. I didn't leave it for too long, as -18C is a bit outside its parameters, but long enough to do an interval-timer set of 10 shots. The battery registered empty when I reclaimed the camera, but soon recovere...

Russet Splashes
A series of images taken with K5 & 18-55 "kit" lens.(Exif on the Gallery shot) AF240FT off-camera flash set at manual/low, to the left & bounced off a white card reflector to the right. Manual focus. The water source- a plastic tub with a needle hole, dripping water onto the apple at a pret...

Russet Splashes
Hi Roger, the freezing of the water has been done flawlessly. However, given the apple takes up so much of the frame, then personally I'd like to see it sharp from front to back

In the Turbine Hall
Thanks Nigel, these were all indeed taken in Av mode (I seem to use that 99.9% of the time). The turbine hall is pretty dark, although not as bad as some cathedrals and the like I have been in. For these I am sure these were at the wide end of the lens (17mm); I set the K5 to ISO1600, and used f5.6....

St Albans
Nicely done Philip, #6 for me. I also like #3 very much, perhaps a still wider aperture to throw the background out of focus of some post processing fakery for the same might lift it further? Rob.

A Walk from Rock Cottage
Thanks Stu. Being so close, I aim to go back up there soon. A few things to explore, old quarry works and settlements, plus a great place to try and tire the dog :?

Thirteen months of sunshine
This is how the Ethiopian Tourist Board try to promote their country (there are thirteen months in the Ethiopian calendar). As some of you may recall I used to live in Ethiopia. Last year I went back for a three week holiday and have been meaning to post some of the photographic results online f...

Thirteen months of sunshine
Thanks for the comments all. #2, #3 and #4 could have been taken a 100 years ago. Almost timeless. Check out Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii and you'll see what I mean. i.e http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/08/russia_in_color_a_century_ago.html Travelling in Ethiopia frequently does fee...

Hawk ?
You've got 3 yes's and you're through to the next round :lol: It's a Kestrel. I think this one is a female. The male has a grey head, the female's is brown. It's easier to tell them apart if you can see their back. The male has a chestnut back, the female is rather plain brown/beige. Oh, and a...

Hawk ?
Thanks for all the help and in the next round it's a big black bird with a bit of a tuft on the back of its neck. :lol::lol: Violence on the nesting site. Take That!!

Sabre at Duxford 19/4/13
Thanks for all your comments. This was absent from the airshow scene last year due to no engine so it's good to see it back in the air.

Today's Kingfisher Shots
Out early on this beautiful sunny day and sat at my usual spot before 7AM. Camo gear on and packing light with just the K5IIs, DA*300mm + 1.7x AFA..... and a small flask of coffee! When settling on some of the favoured perches, the 510mm focal length seems just right, so these are uncropped. Poo...

Blyth Beach
Very nice indeed. You east coast guys get all the decent sunrises :P But only if you get up early :wink: So none this morning. I just turned the alarm off at 5am (still dark)and went back to sleep. Happened to open my eyes at 6am and there was still nice colour in the sky, so it looks like I missed...

One Fine Day
Excellent record, well done. My sister was married in that church and I lived less than a mile from it. I could see the manor from my back garden. For whatever reason though, having lived there for 30+ years, I never visited the inside of the manor. Shameful really.

Arley Chapel HDR
Nicely done John. Immediate impression was not of an HDR picture but as Peter said, the light is a little odd for a church photo. If you think about it, HDR can be what we would all see if we were in the room. Our eyes are constantly adjusting the exposure, focus and scanning so we experience a ...

Snowdonia Meet (Image Heavy)
Thanks guys:D I have to mention Howard that we cheated and drove through Deiniolen and parked about half a mile from Anglesey Barracks and then walked down hill to it so the only height was walking back to the cars :D No boots and not much walking effort required:D

Snowdonia Meet (Image Heavy)
The weather was very kind to us although I will admit to having been carrying a woolly hat and gloves just in case:? I always have mine in the rucksac even in the middle of summer...had to turn back in August a few years ago as the summit temperature was below freezing...lesson learnt Simon

Coombe Hill monument (Buckinghamshire) this weekend.
Lovely views from up there and only a stone's throw from Chequers. I prefer the second image, but there's something strange about it. Have you heavily PP'd it or did you use flash? Yes, first image was to show context only, second one an attempt to get something out. It isn't really my style and...
