Caught in the act
Very nice and spot on with the focus. Giving the lack of colour range, and the rather evil look, I would be tempted to go mono, push the contrast a tad (possibly) and add a slight vignette - that should really bring out the monster in him/her!

K-5iis + DA*50-135 fast avtion sports shots
The 70-200mm 2.8 would have been the equivalent of a 120-300mm 2.8 which would have been more useful for sports than the 80-250 f/4 which is not really a sports orientated lens. i don't think Pentax are a sports orientated brand. They have niches but sports isn't one of them. If it was we wouldn'...

City of London - 1st Collection
Managed to get into the City last week for a 'Photography Exclusive' visit. Hit the ground running at London Bridge in the sunshine, heading through the backstreets towards Aldgate, then on to Canary Wharf for some low-light and final night images. All shot with the K7 - the telephoto images are ...

A couple of night shots from the GR
I bought a GR recently, mainly to have a highly portable camera with a good sensor, and partly in the hopes that it would be a good camera for an ongoing project, photographing cities from the air at night. With the K5 I found I was mostly shooting at 24mm for this, so the fixed 28mm lens is a good ...

A couple of night shots from the GR
Thanks, Bjorn! I'd be a bit stupid not take advantage of the job, and it's what got me back into photography in the first place. I was initially reluctant to buy the GR, due to the fixed lens, but I'm liking it a lot. It's a very capable camera, and I love the small size.

Pentax can't do birds in flight either (apparently) - K5iis + DA*300
Steve, once again these are excellent. There are no issues with the focus on the K-5II variants, maybe they don't have the tracking finesse, but they are fast and accurate, depending on the lens used. K-3 improves on this and has tracking too! I've used my K-3 for the first time today with wild b...

I think with this shameful set of epic fails, you should pack up and head home Mate :wink: :P:P:lol::lol::D:D Steve, once again these are excellent. There are no issues with the focus on the K-5II variants, maybe they don't have the tracking finesse, but they are fast and accurate, depending on ...

Pentax can't do birds in flight either (apparently) - K5iis + DA*300
Perhaps the birds flew more slowly as they knew the photographer was using Pentax kit? Or perhaps they could not hear the shutter from the camera so were more relaxed? some great images Steve. If you look, most of them are looking directly at me trying to make out the name on the front of the ...

Oliver Cromwell Steam Engine
Hi All Whilst watching my son play football on Saturday morning I got a call to say that this steam engine would be making an appearance over the Cefn Mawr viaduct - I was late back but so was the train and these are what I got:D Not the most difficult subject fo...

No one sitting
Very nice - I love the DoF that you've chosen, so that you can still see the empty benches either side of the path in the background. My only criticism - the white post (back left) - my eye keeps getting drawn to it and away from the chairs in the foreground. Phil

A Pair Of Tits
The Blue tit is gorgeous, but I think you need to revisit it and back off the sharpening on his head. At least for web viewing ;)

Cullercoats
Another great set, as always. Does the lighthouse still work? If so they would be even better with the light showing on it. Picky picky :lol::lol:. Good point Gwyn. You can see the light is on for the first image. By the time I'd finished taking wide angled shots and got the DA300 out, The li...

Thanks for the link, Damian. I'd love to see some images taken using old A or M lenses if you have any...... Hi Jonathan, I have a 35/2.8 A and a 50/1.4 M, both are with friends at the moment, I'll get back this week and get a few shots next weekend. Damian.

Street Shots
Very nice shots Alistair. Out of interest how many did you shoot to get two like this? I'm assuming the lens used was manual focus? I struggled with MF lenses on the K-5, but find them easy to use on the K-01 (my M50 F1.4 lives on the K-01 permanently now) and on the K-3, primarily due to focus...

Twilight Thames & Quays
More nice stuff, Nigel. I had half a mind to pop over to Docklands after work last night, but was overcome with the urge to dash home for a chicken curry and the tripod thus remained in its bag. The Canary Wharf security bods can be awkward - as I know from experience. I used to work in the area ...

Ullswater Today - K-5iis and K-3
Thank you to you all for the comments. The first one is possibly my favourite, it was shot with the K-5iis and DA L 55-300, set at 55mm. That lens never ceases to amaze me - what a bargain. " Gods Country" did you sneak back to Scotland for this shot David ?, nice set of images, favorite being ...
