Portrait lighting 2nd attempt
Also, if your using the mirrors to bounce light around don't! stop! They reflect light very direct and harsh. Swap these for white card. This bounces light back but scatters it so the light produced is more soft and flattering. You can buy A1 sheets in Hobby Craft for under a fiver a go ;) Cheers an...

Pics of my nephew shot with istds and m 50mm f1.4
Very nice images, in focus and good use of lighting. The first one is my favourite of the three. Regards David

Parking Problem Solved
Many years ago I was working at BBC Television Centre and spotted the real one sitting in the scene dock. Well who wouldn't open the door and go inside? Curiously it was painted matte black and had a black curtain on the back wall :?

Photos with my "new" 50mm 1.7!!!
Aha! So you finally discover for yourself why Pentax Users have put up for years with slow focus, limited range of lenses, and all the other tripe that reviewers churn out.

Certainly shows the lovely quality of the lens - nice colour and smooth oof area. However, although it's not easy to see on a computer screen, it looks like the focus is on the nose, with the eyes just slightly off-focus. The eyes need to be sharp. Regards Tony

HMS Victory
is about to get a new Radar system, Seeing as how the powers that be have decided to cut back on the armed forces but send them to new conflicts, HMS Victory is get a new Radar system judging by the top of the masts.:D

HMS Victory
Good colours, but I think you should have stepped back a bit or used a wider lens to get all of the left side in and not cut the walkway off. Regards Tony

HMS Victory
As a record/humorous shot of a ship in refit it's quite good. I'd have preferred the whole of the bow sprit (top left) to be included and it is too tight in the frame. The foreground clutter is distracting but without a much wider lens there may not have been too much you could have done about it (e...

HMS Victory
Lens used was the 18-55 WR set at 18mm. Couldn't step back any further as there is a canopied area which would get in the every possible way. Apart from that, I wanted to try and get the whole vessel in and the area is very tight, and also the Radar mountings(:D).

Star Trail
A cracking shot. Been a while since I've done some looong trail's, and nothing as good as this! I remember trying it out on the K10, bulb open and left in the yard while I worked nights, went back to it 4hrs later and couldn't work out why it wanted to take the same amount of time to show me the ima...

It's great to be here!
Not sure where to put this post but as it contains some images I'll put it in this one. These pictures are nothing special but they represent a new beginning for me (and my family), why? well at 58 years old, pretty active, not over weight, not a couch potato, not one to get stressed (or so I thi...

I like the last shot in particular:D It's good to hear that you are back on your feet Brian :D I agree the NHS only get negative press as such - I for one would almost certainly of been worm food around 10 years ago without them so they have a big thumbs up from me :D Enjoy your camera/ lif...

First shots with my first ever manual prime
Lovely shots. I'm glad you like your lens. I imagine the 50mm focal length would make a great portrait lens particularly as the wide aperture means you can throw the background out of focus. I find it a bit "long" for the stuff I do. Trixie's suggestion of a 28mm standard is sound. I'd happily t...

I agree about crop, building distractingly in Focus, better out of frame if possible. Dull day?

Sunlit ponies in the New Forest
But you would lose the drama of the beautiful back lit rim lighting in the original shot. There's much more to photography than producing a faithful interpretation of what the eye sees. Although I don't see the original as 'unnatural'.

Midnight Sun - the difference aperture can make to an image
Yep they're back, and my comments still apply :D.

Midnight Sun - the difference aperture can make to an image
Staying on subject, I prefer the former. Thank you :wink: I prefer the second. I think it's because the figures are more defined Interesting comment as the focus point was not altered from one shot to the other and they have both had exactly the same amount of PP. It would seem that opinions a...

SAAB Museum, Trollhättan, Sweden
Apologies if the following is somewhat off topic:) but I can't resist reminiscing about a visit to Trollhättan way back about 30 or more years ago and being very interested in the SAAB factory, and intrigued also to hear that the unusually shaped hill on the far side of the factory was so like the s...
