Test shots with my free Spotmatic F
Thanks -- that is my wife's out of focus flowers in a pot on the doorstep-- we DID have two large pots with topiary plants in but they were STOLEN from the doorstep just before last Christmas.

Dreary week in the Lakes and Northumberland
Roman wall, on the Sunday, lakes the rest, three days in a row the camera never came out of the bag, I'm lucky as it's on my doorstep, so it's easy to go back! :D First three on the wall, second three are Ullswater and the last five are Langdale... Langdale and Ullswater days were the only two whe...

Tried a little 'still life'
David Thanks for the comment. I wanted to get the watch and key fob in focus with the map 'fading out' towards the back. f2.8 would not give me enough DoF to achieve that. However I do know what you mean as I have tried some other shots with a really narrow DoF and it does create a good effect. ...

Tried a little 'still life'
Thanks for all the comments. It's funny how we see things differently. What I had in my mind was an image of someone driving on a trip who had stopped (maybe for the night) and put his map, passport, keys and watch on a table or bedside unit. I didn't really see them as unconnected. The watc...

singers from the ship
Looks like torture but nice pics! I like the last one, nice light. The first one of Paul Baker is good too but there's something about his expression.... I half expect the back of a lady's head to pop up at the bottom of the shot! :twisted:

singers from the ship
Nice set. I like #3 with the strong focus on the singer and of course the last one !

Back to the beach
Beautiful colours Alan and quite different from your previous ones posted on here. Nice one Alan I bet that wasn't taken this morning!! Incidentally, I had cause to get up and drive to work this morning as the sun rose (alarm went off!) and in South Yorkshire the sunrise was just breathtaking, ...

Oooow! Love the light in this, great warmth ! Not sure what the foreground offers though, maybe a pano would work better ? Thanks Gareth, I'll give it a whirl

Very nice. I think the composition is well balanced and the subtle patterns on the foreground sand essential. They encourage the eye to explore the scene and add depth and expansiveness. I would leave it as is.

On The Shores of Loch Ness
I find the 43 a little short for these scenes. It would be interesting to see results from the (I presume) FA50/1.4 - it is a lens that I just didn't get on with, others rate it Pentax' finest. I had a good play around earlier this year to try and decide on my preferred flower lens and my conclusi...

On The Shores of Loch Ness
Except that the macro will focus much closer. The DA35macro I think would be a more versatile choice, I've thought about that lens quite often but have resisted. I'm sure I would enjoy it, I used to visit Nyman's gardens in Sussex regularly and I enjoy seeing Mattmatic's images from there. There ...

Goth LAdy
It is very weird, a gothic futuristic mashup. 19th century meets 23rd century. The extreme smoothing leaves a very ambiguous feel, is the subject real or not? And those contradictions are I think the strengths of this image and the reason I keep popping back for another look.

New Forest sunrise
Looks like it was well worth the trip Russ! You'll be able to go back again and take some even better shots now you know the lie of the land! The third one is my favourite and for what it's worth I would lose the frames. Regards David
