Emley Moor Tower, W. Yorkshire '13
I used to live in the east-end of London and now I have moved up here back to where my wife wants to be, she is Huddersfield born and bred. I have to say that the folk in these parts are super-friendly, nice people all round really.

I used to live in the east-end of London and now I have moved up here back to where my wife wants to be, she is Huddersfield born and bred. I have to say that the folk in these parts are super-friendly, nice people all round really. There a lot to be said for living in a community where people feel ...

Traditional Boxing Day events ( England)
Had to cover the Traditional Boxing Day events in the Essex Village of MORETON for the Essex Chronicle -- I was the only one using PENTAX. There was a competition in the main street first which meant lots of BEER Drinking and carrying Beer Barrels while having Flour Paste thrown by local kids, then...

Traditional Boxing Day events ( England)
Nice set, Peter. Newspaper archives are full of pictures like this which give us a look into the past. I can easily see these in a paper today and being poured over in 75 years time when someone wants to look back to the "good old days".

Hi Roger It's a nice image, I like the contrast between the white of the flowers and the black background. There are a few comments I have, which I hope are constructive: - The white levels could be increased to give the image more 'punch' and contrast - Although not out of focus, the im...

Natural History Museum and Ice Rink
Hi Gajan Not a bad one for your first upload! Exposure looks good and it is nice and sharp. The only constructive comment I have is that I struggle to see a particular focal point in the image, i.e. my eye is not sure where to settle first and where the image leads the eye after that. This is ...

Natural History Museum and Ice Rink
I think that this is a lovely image, with a great spread of colour, although I would agree with David's comments about the key focal point. To me the 'verticals' are slightly off. Personally I would have placed the main building 1/3 from the right (removing the distracting roofline of the modern b...

Natural History Museum and Ice Rink
David and Ralph, thank you very much for your comments. I agree what you both have pointed out and I will try to improve on compositing or framing of the subjects. Here I felt that the majestic museum building to be the main subject as well as being a backdrop to the modern and jubilant subjects...

Boxing day dip in the sea.
A selection of images from a Boxing day charity dip in the North Sea (well Firth of Forth is as good as :) K3 with Sigma 70-200 f2.8 (the original EX APO screw drive one), this combination looks a winner, the focus speed felt so much faster and responsive than I get with the DA*50-135.

2013 My First Year With a Pentax Camera K-30
Thanks all for the kind comments. As far as my first year with the Pentax K-30 I think it's been a positive one. Coming from an Olympus E-3 I think the K-30 is probably the camera Olympus should have built. It's small enough to be easily portable, feels good in my hands and has the weather sealin...

North by North East
The intention was to go to the Eldon Square shopping centre Alan. I lasted all of twenty minutes before claiming insanity. Very busy in there so I said to the wife she could have a few hours stress free shopping whilst I headed for the river. After that it was either head South or to the coast. W...

Watching the sun set in the East
The logo pulls the eye in the wrong direction. It's hard to focus on the pics because of it. Perhaps if it has to stay, it could be more genuinely a watermark, with the strength of the colour dialed right back. I at first thought you were having a quiet joke, with 'LOL' in grey outline behind the...

K-3 Football Images - Part 2
These are images taken with my K-3 under the meagre floodlighting available at Knaresborough Town FC - the sun had set about an hour before I took these. Both images are at 6400 ISO and no more than 50% cropping. So you can see the noise levels there is no NR applied and the noise is pretty ugly w...

K-3 Football Images - Part 2
The improving AF of the latest Pentax models over the Original K-5 is notable I did notice some strange AF behaviour though. I originally custom set up as the first image with focus priority and subsequent images with release priority and found that the K-3 wandered off focus. I checked it was th...

Just an update - the first of the two pictures in this thread was published on the back page of the local paper (Knaresborough Post) today so I'm pleased. Roy

Slim pickings
Simply stunning Jules. Have you warmed it up at all? Thanks for that! Shot was taken around 1 P.M. By which time the sun is already dipping behind the hills casting some long shadows and it's getting pretty warm, at least the light is! I shoot on "Natural" so to keep a good dynamic range but the co...
