Glasgow City Chambers
I took the opportunity to revisit Glasgow City Chambers as it was open for the doors open day yesterday. When it was opened in 1889 it was 4 times over budget - so nothing changes. The stairwells are Carrara marble It could have been designed by Escher The committee rooms are a tri...

2013 Singapore Grand Prix
Great shots, Simon. Focus should have been on Webber in the second shot IMO, but all great stuff nonetheless. You got so close and have really filled the frame with your shots... I used to love F1 but I think it's become a boring spectacle, there is no proper racing anymore. The management want...

2013 Singapore Grand Prix
Thanks, all. Paul, I concur that Webber should have the focus in shot #2 - he was meant to be! Grid access is ever a privilege, but it's a complete zoo and you have to grab what you can between mechanics' heads, celebrity entourages and so on (although it's quite easy to shoot over the top of Be...

Singapore Zoo
The Singapore Grand Prix has an evening schedule - and a primary benefit is the opportunity to snoop around the city during the day. So... UK residents will be aware that our zoos' free-ranging residents tend to be limited to deer, peacocks and the occasional capybara. In Singapore they have lemu...

Yes I used a total of 3 speedlites. One on the back seat 'bounced' off the headlining and one under each seat aimed forward. The underseat ones were on 1/64 power. The shots were taking in the middle of the afternoon in broad daylight on my driveway.

Gamka. Thanks for the comments, all very good points except one. The gear lever was in 'Drive':wink::D. I think it looks okay in the side shot but doesn't look right in the wide view. It probably would have been better in 'N' as this would have shown more of the jaguar 'J' gate. I will also b...

Kit lens used again with manual focus
i stopped using my 'Kit' lens for a while as it was back-focussing on my K10D but I did a job for local newspaper and had to climb up into a rotting CD4 aircraft and used the kit lens with 'manual focus'+ weak flash and it seems sharp enough --

My mum's garden
I love number 1 Andrew, a beautifully diffused background and spot on focus, plus the flower looks like it is lit with an inner glow. Number 4 also has similar qualities, the lessons I gave you seem to be paying off :wink: :D :wink:

Carshalton Wildlife
This is really not my thing at all, but I don't think Andy Rouse has been through here for a while, so I saw the opening :D :wink: Had the old 1970's Tamron Adaptal 135mm on the K7. Just a couple of grabs while the kids were running around, using catch-in-focus. I'm not planning a lot of this sor...

RICOH GR & 21mm Wide Converter Lens...British Museum Photographs
There's not much said online about RICOH's 21mm wide conversion lens and it's performance (other than some snobbery), but I thought I would give it a go and see what kind of resolving power it has. Having said that I haven't had much time to put it to some good use yet due to my workload and the we...

RICOH GR & 21mm Wide Converter Lens...British Museum Photographs
Regardless of what you think about the aesthetics of the K-01 I don't find anything inelegant about its design. Bear in mind I'm talking about function - cameras are for taking images, not looking at! I'd have to say that you can't consider design without at least considering aesthetics, certainly w...

And the positioning of the focus assist lamp is pretty poor. And it lacks twin controls dials.

Critique Please (1)
Cheers for that. Ok back to the original shot. How about some more aggressive contrast and boost to the overall colour and texture? Pleae let me know what you think is best overall because I have to go with tone of them :)

Northern Lights 2. October
Thank you Brian, Don and Rob! We're off to Iceland in November for a week and hope to see the Northern Lights at some point. I haven't taken photos of them before, what settings do you use? I will try to share some of my experience. Last winter I purchased a K-5, and with this camera I now have...
