It Has A Bokeh....
Leaves unfurling on an Acer in the back garden. I like the bokeh on this. K10d with FA50 1.4.

It Has A Bokeh....
New pentax k-01 arrived today so chance to try with the 400mm f/4 and the k-01 focus peaking which is a fantastic aid for manual focus...

Black and Blue
And a very nice from me too. It works well with one to the fore and one behind. Nice focus area. Deryn

Cannizaro Park Ressurected!
Can I get some new feedback ? :D I have so much appreciated all the input from everyone, which has been very helpful. I am going to redo those shots - I will try a toning down of the saturated foliage colours and will boost the low-down contrast. I have decided to use the HDR master TIFFs and app...

Too bright, too dark, Just Right
Here's a shot that I took on holiday in Thailand. I was using a PL-Cir filter to compensate for the very strong overhead sunlight, hence the blue sky. Since it's hard to gauge without shadows as a reference point, I have to rely upon how I memorised the scene. Some of you might think it's a wee bit ...

Too bright, too dark, Just Right
Interesting! I actually added a bit more contrast, and increased the saturation and yellowness of the greens in the first shot. Straight out of HDR, it seemed a bit cool and neutral to me, given it was early evening. I was aiming for the richness of colours in the second shot but seems like I overdi...

Too bright, too dark, Just Right
A bit of food for thought, or some musings on this thread!... Most photographs of general scenes are compromises. There's likely to be something of interest in a bright area in a scene, likewise in the shadows. One can compress the tonal range using an HDR technique, or one can adjust the different ...

Too bright, too dark, Just Right
OK, I'm coming back for some more ! :P How about this one ? Natural ? Again, has a pretty wide DR I think, between the deepest shadow top left corner and the hotspots on the flower pot.

Chillingham Castle
Thanks for the tips, I'll give them a try. I think the easiest solution would be to go back on a cloudy day and take the photo again. :)

Dragonfly
It's a good capture but slightly let down by a bit of back focussing. The far wing is the sharpest part of the image when ideally the dragonfly's head would be. Whether the back-focussing is a lens issue and needs adjustment or more likely a hard to photograph subject without scaring it away with a ...

Dragonfly
Thanks, Jeff & John. I think the focus is down to me! With a focal length of 500mm, from about 5 foot away, it's pretty critical! I would say, however, that on an A4 print I wasn't exactly displeased with the sharpness of the image overall! Thanks again for the interest shown. Roger.

Comments Please
Well I really like it. You have spread the light levels around the scene nicely - this looks like the use of Photomatix Pro's 'Lighting Effects' buttons ? And the colour tones look good I think (although maybe I'm not the best expert here :lol::wink:) As far as realism goes, to me it seems as if ...

Adding to the Controversy - What's Best?
No.3 please! And I would have "gardened" the grass out of shot in the first place.... This wasn't a "grab" shot, surely. Was it?! Roger. Hi Roger, it was a 'grab' shot actually! I was testing the focussing of the 150-500 on my K-5iis. After reviewing it I quite liked the grass where it was a...

White Tailed Sea Eagle
If looks could kill!!! Lovely expression. Nice photo. So tell me this is at a falconry show and it isn't landing in your back garden! Deryn

Marlow Bridge
Shows off the atmosphere of the day well - looks like a peaceful and pleasant spot. I've seen Marlow and it's bridge on the map and had it in the back of my mind to visit. I like the challenge of composing shots without the flexibility of a zoom, having to move around more to get what you want. M...

Marlow Bridge
Thank you, Nigel. I now have several FA and DA primes and this year I have been out usually with just one of them on the K-5 and the 18-135 zoom in my bag - only using the latter if there is no alternative or if it starts raining; I am really enjoying working this way. You might be right about #1 (a...

Another Landscape for critique
I think this image is much, much nicer than the first one in the other post. It's a lovely composition and nice light, BUT I think the processing is still letting it down. As others have mentioned, there is a pronounced yellow tone across the whole image. I've used Photomatix on many occasions an...

Another Landscape for critique
Thanks David. Its something that I am obviously struggling with. From now one I will be thinking hard about my yellows and greens! As regards the sharpness of the image. I usually spend a lot of time on getting the focus point for my images and composition etc. In a nutshell? The 18 55 just is...
