Yeah but we all know what Gareth was saying and it's how the language is changing ,and it was ever thus . I was confused more by the name change of the person in the photo. For what it's worth I like them but I'd prefer the beads to be in focus and the distracting shadow spoils it a bit IMHO...jeff

Horsey Action shots
Thank you everyone ! Yes, I agree about the reflection, but it was surprisingly difficult zooming in yet getting the subject in the right place. I had plenty of chance to practice but this is just the beginning. I think the last one might have been better as a panned shot to give more of an imp...

Horsey Action shots
Good action photography here Sally, you managed to freeze the action and get some well exposed and composed shots - apart from losing half of that reflection. Were you shooting in hi-continuous mode with your focus switched to continuous? As for pro journalists using Pentax: I can remember in the ...

Horsey Action shots
Thank you, David. I have to confess to only noticing the reflection after downloading onto my computer !!! I was more concerned with keeping up with the subject. Very little PP apart from some level adjustment and cropping in iPhoto. I was on Tv, continuous mode and automatic ISO, as recommend...

Horsey Action shots
Excellent camera skills. You've captured some very interesting 'live' action. I used a Pentax to shoot motorcycle racing many years ago so I know how difficult it can be to capture fast moving objects. (manual focus in those days!) Maybe you will post more form the day? Deryn

Taking the 645n out for a walk
This K-x is now for sale as, good tho it is, I've bought another K5 so my two bodies are identical (for weddings). So it really is a luxury now.

Taking the 645n out for a walk
Finally got my first set of slides back from this shoot with the 645N! Wow! I haven't got a scanner, so this particular test set may stay as slides but I'm really looking forward to giving the 645 some serious work to do. The colour, contrast and exposure control is brilliant. Don't know why I'm su...

Inside Durham Cathedral.
Excellent set, beautifully exposed stained glass. Still intending to go back to Durham after my one visit there about 10 years ago. Seeing the Lindisfarne Gospels might be motivating factor.......

Lonely tree
Really nice. I tried something similar back in December but yours is far, far better.

Any thoughts on this one?
Hi Joe - I am thinking of printing this one, with a white mount and frame. Need to work out where to put it though! As for PP, it started life in SilverEfex and then had a few tweaks in OnOne Perfect Effects. I really like the OnOne software (especially FocalPoint, which allows those of us with c...

Little fly.
This is a really fantastic shot, can I ask about the lighting? A simple Pentax AF200T flash with a cut out piece of plastic milk bottle stuck to the front. Cost me £10 a few years ago, nice thing about that flash is you can stick it on manual and then control the output from the switches on the back...

Little fly.
It looks fairly soft to me and I don't like the crop, I think there needs to be more room top and bottom. I couldn't disagree more. You have to appreciate that the focal plane is so terribly narrow here. Side-on, we get the majority of the head/torso/abdomen very sharp. And that's what you want. As ...

Bluebells
Okay, brutally honest... The flower in the front dominates, but is out of focus. The flower behind is less dominant but in focus. Unfortunately this doesn't really work, IMO. The dominant subject should be in focus, or the depth of field should encompass both. The fact that you took the photo ...

I agree with Mark's "brutality":wink: In addition to the focus issues, it looks a bit underexposed. The colors are fairly saturated, but there's not much "pop" to it at all. So, even if the focus was accurate it would be rather unappealing regardless. I also agree about his take on the condition...

Daughter. 50mm F1.4 and K5. Does this look ok?
Hi, This is Julianna and I've been trying to get good portraits from her and would like some candc as to my framing, if it actually is in focus and whether my light editing is the correct way to go. I use a Macbook Pro with a matte screen as factory settings if that makes any difference to percep...
