Bittern K3 AF check
Not an issue Nigel, because I focus using the back button. AF is in AF-C permanently, with the rare exception of using manual glass with catch in focus.

Bittern K3 AF check
Do you find the back button for focus is in a better position than on the K5. I personally think that it was too low on the K5 and found it somewhat awkward at times to use. It now looks like it is at the top of the thumb grip in a much better position (presuming it is still the AF button). Also do ...

Bittern K3 AF check
Might change as I get used to the K3, but at the moment I prefer the back button position on the K5. I hit the live view button occasionally on the K5. If they'd moved that, which they have done on the K3 that would have done me. I've thought about buying a 7D quite a few times myself, but AF asi...

Bittern K3 AF check
I feel the K3 focussing is much improved. Its faster and more reliable. On the K5 I too always used the back button for focussing but on the K3 I don't feel that there is such a need to do that. On the K5 it sometimes seemed that having got an image in focus, pressing the shutter button again cause...

Bittern K3 AF check
Thanks for the reply. I agree the K5 is a better all round camera overall, its just the focus tracking that is an issue. It would not be so bad if the frame rate held on when set to focus priority but it slows a fair bit obviously trying to keep focus. Switch to FPS -priory then the frame rate comes...

Thelnetham Windmill Suffolk
The placement of the elements in this works very well I think, and also having 'too much sky' dosen't matter either! I'm seeing some blue / magenta noisy stuff going on in the darker clouds - not sure if its actually colour noise or just a cast. I think it would be better to remove these tones an...

Second K3 Lanscapes... Or a Skiddaw Aboot...
All great images Jules. I'm sure the K3 will produce the goods with landscape and the right glass. Best regards I think it does, though I'll have to work on my technique more with the K3, I made the mistake of shooting at F11 for most of the day and there is some visible diffraction going on. I'l...

Motorsport: Brands Hatch Formula Vee Festival
Another weekend, another race meeting... although the calendar is finally winding down (if you discount the Rally GB this weekend, a stage rally at Oulton Park on Nov 23, a race meeting at Anglesey in December etc etc). Very low sun at Brands Hatch, which was both a help and, at times, a hindrance, ...

K10D shoots a K3
Just shot a few with the K3 using the FF Ltd's. All JPEG from camera. and a 100% crop from above I didn't really set anything up other than focus point and ISO. The shutter is super quiet and the focus is very positive but is no where near as fast as my D700...

Another Critique...9
Not so keen on this one Alistair, the yellows are very dominant and I'm not sure that the shallow DOF works very well on this subject / scene. For compositions that lead the eye into the distance (as this one does), I think they work better when the distant objects are readable and in focus. Reg...

Another Critique...9
Really??? Im really happy with this one :) Are you saying to have everything in focus beyond the leaf - as in shooting F14 or something? I like the fall off in and out

Following on from Stridey's post These two images won first and second places in a calendar competition organised by the local branch of the Newcastle Building Society both taken with my back up K200D and, probably, Sigma 17 - 70

Thank you, both. Nigel Mc, the colours are a fair way out. We had to submit prints for the competition and I know my printer is always a fair bit darker than my screen so I always overcompensate before printing and I forgot to go back to the original colours. Dave.

Walking back to Lulworth Cove
Taken from the top of the hill between Durdle Door and Lulworth. In the Summer, this path is usually packed with keen hikers on the Jurassic Coast but on a weekday last month there were just a few souls out enjoying the balmy October afternoon sunshine. C&C welcome ! Regards Nigel

Walking back to Lulworth Cove
Definitely the best time of year to visit the Jurassic Coast. I couldn't agree more. A pleasingly composed landscape.

Great depth to this and the path leads the eye in nicely to the cove.

first lighting attempt
You've lit her from below, which is usually done to create a ghoulish atmosphere (I think it's called 'halloween lighting?' If that was your aim, you have succeeded! I do actually like the mood in shot two, and her expression suits the atmosphere better. She also has nice reflections in her eyes....
