Daughter. 50mm F1.4 and K5. Does this look ok?
Personally, I love to use lenses wide open, particularly if they are as good as the DA 50-135. This does mean that focus is critical and you will need to ensure your lenses are calibrated to the camera (AF Fine Adjustment in the Menu), otherwise focus could be a bit off and this will ruin the shots...

Daughter. 50mm F1.4 and K5. Does this look ok?
I've never been sure about AF adjustment. I wear glasses and therefore I don't really trust my focus with my eyes. I'm not really sure what I'd be looking for with it.

Daughter. 50mm F1.4 and K5. Does this look ok?
This brings back good memories of also taking pictures of my first born with the same FA 50mm 1.4 (on a K100d Super, not comparable with current high iOS performance). I agree that flash really kills the atmosphere for this kind of photos. Keep it up, you'll only get better and later look back - as ...

Face Lift
Before And after The Class A4 express steam locomotive 'Dominion of Canada' has been given a total face lift and returned to its original 1930s appearance in blue in the workshop at Locomotion, the National Railway Museum outpost at Shildon, Co Durham. The engine was one of two A4s brou...

Cannizaro Park Wimbledon
It's pretty obvious that these were HDR though, so as they are all the same in terms of colour and overall feel it does become a style. For these images at least. RAW or not, I think there are clipped highlights in the clouds on some shots, so pulling back on the processing is certainly something to...

Cannizaro Park Wimbledon
:lol: :lol: you wouldn't believe it John, I put those clipped whites back onto the clouds specifically thinking it made it look less like HDR, ie like a normal technical DR limitation that we would anticipate!! I think the slider involved in Photomatix Pro is ' smooth highlights'. It will be int...

Cannizaro Park Wimbledon
Beware of the horizon indicator Nigel, it is notoriously unreliable. I had to send my K-5 back to Pentax for this to be corrected as all my images were off level. Guess what? It's now gone out of level again after 6 months usage, so Horizon Correction remains firmly turned off and I ignore the vi...

Cannizaro Park Wimbledon
I find that very curious to be honest. Do you see those colours as realistic? I did qualify my remarks with this ... ' My ideas on this are not intended to offer any defence of these particular shots in regards to realism'. I accept the points that have been made - that is how people have reacted...

Cannizaro Park Wimbledon
As I say, very quick and sloppy photoshopping here, but I have just tried to bring back a sense of the shadows which you would expect to see in this shot, and tone down the brightness and saturation on the foliage. There's a chance it might look a bit dark - I'm on my Mac and the screen is a bit bri...

Im no expert but what do you think?
That has worked I'd say ! Exposures look nice to me - moody and deep, just what's needed. What iso were you on ? Quality doesn't seem to have sufferred much at all - maybe I can see some greeny haze in the backgrounds, but its nothing much - should be easy to knock back on the computer.

West Kirby -- K5+ A.Schacht Travegon 35/3.5 (M42)
Strangely - as soon as I looked at this set I was transported back in time - they have exactly the look and feel of my Dad's holiday snaps back in the 70s when he was using a Zenit E and Helios 55 Carl

More From Norfolk
Nice set John. Who are your three "friends"? They need to learn to keep their elbows tucked in and possibly turn their left hands around to give more support. ARE the Pentaxians as Papa says? CHEERS Vic. Snap! I was taught for maximum stability to rest the base of the camera on the palm of my...

Watching
I've spent the last 6 days in London - moving my student daughter back to Glasgow. I booked a room at the Goodeneough Club and was able to use their private gardens. Here are some images from yesterday. It's great what a 70-300mm can reveal.

Bychan.
Aahh Deryn, the hours I've spent as a kid fishing from the old pier, plus swimming and even jumping off (couldn't do that now, even if naked women were handing money out in the sea below :D ). I've taken so many images of the pier, but only one set from a similar angle. Unfortunately whilst insta...

Bychan.
Hi guys, as with most of my photos I have to have something in the shot to distinguish it from other photos of the same scene. (dogs, sheep, Christmas tree's!) There are lots of angles to take a pic of the pier from but hopefully the dogs make this one different. Adrian, you are not alone. I too ...

It Has A Bokeh....
Like a fine wine....to borrow a quote...it has (a bouquet?)...it has a bokeh... in photographic terms. But what sort of bokeh do we like? Prompted by discussions in the forum, here's an example of what I like the out of focus areas in an image to look like. Do please comment and also do please post ...
