Beautiful detail and subtle colours. I think an even closer crop would be better. 'Stack of 11 shots, Combine ZP' ?? Can you explain more about this? Is this some sort of focussing technique with different focus points on each shot merged to give greater DOF?

Orchid
Thanks, Greg. The free, downloadable software is Combine ZP. Google it, you'll like it! Take the individual images, changing focus gradually from back to front of the total depth of field required for the subject. Process as instructions on the software. There's obviously more to it tha...

First attempt at HDR
A great 1st attempt! Its an appropriate scene for HDR - I imagine the foreground was quite dark and fully in shadow, so the dynamic range must have been very high. I won't focus on composition etc as the emphasis here is on the HDR I guess, but generally I like the layout of the image -perhaps a...

Why I choose Pentax....
The way you have processed that last one again is not quite how I suggested - I agree that the dark mids and shadows give it that atmosphere, so I wanted to keep them. Can you try pulling up just the whitepoint and then re-correct the mid slider back to where it was, and finally pull the blacks back...

K3 First Shots
I decided to take the plunge with the K3 & I am liking it a lot! Headed out this morning in the cold to a local spot to me in search of some boats. Kind of wish I had got to the spot where the second shot was taken earlier to get the nice sky. Think I will be heading back there soon! 1, 1.3 se...

K3 First Shots
I really like No3 for the soft side-lighting and depth of field. The foreground areas are superb, but I find the Dynamic range in the sky a bit high - ie very dark greys and blown highs near the horizon. I think the soft nature of the shot would be complemented better with this high contrast ton...

Whitby Pier & Bay '13
Thanks everyone, I appreciate you looking and commenting. David, I did go to GF in Whitby back in 2010 I think it was, with my friend Karl. We met up and both stayed in his caravan in the caravan park near the abbey ruins. I will certainly want to go again this year, I don't think there is anywhe...

Floodlit Footie MKII
Took the K3 and the Sigma 70-200 f2.8 APO (Screw drive) to today's game. This look's like the best combination I have in the bag for low light footie, I tried a few different AF.C settings, I think I'll settle for AF.C with SEL1 for football with focus priority and fast MTF in the parameters. ...

Floodlit Footie MKII
These are better. The action in the penultimate two shots is pretty cool. I actually like the two letterbox goal shots ( if they level :) ) There's a still a lot of focus issues though, and it maybe the DOF is a tad too shallow for some of these shots as well as the AG being too slow. or even ant...

Floodlit Footie MKII
Ha! Ha! well your both a bit right, while I'll have to brush up my footie technique and anticipation (forefinger and 8.4 f/sec should do it :mrgreen:) it was another exercise in trying to find the best lens; af.c mode; f/sec; where to stand etc. Apart from the first image which was taken from my sea...

Marrakesh Street Shots
The first few I was thinking aw why didn't you focus more specifically on the key people and crop in a little closer then you near enough nailed it on number 5 which I think could do with a very little cropping around the edges. Number 1 I think would have been a great shop of the guy stood in th...

Another 2013 selection
These are absolutely superb I love them all but especially Temporarily closed, Baltic wave and Beach grass abstract. Can I ask what camera/lens combinations were used to capture these shots, and did you use a tripod? Thanks, John. Beach grass abstract and Temporarily closed were taken with the...

A Wye Valley Series
These are hauntingly beautiful shots - it's the light that does it and of course the expertise of the photographer to compose and photograph it properly. I can see we are in for a treat when you move back to the UK Dr.O! Regards David

Some night shots from the GR
There you go again, up in the sky at night, amazing! The cockpit image is brilliant. You clearly have some friends in high places :o Did they slide their seats back a few notches - hope they could still reach the pedals! The buildings are fabulous, like something from a sci-fi film, and all beaut...

My shot of 2013
I probably don't have enough for a monthly retrospective for 2013 so I'll post my fav/best shot and the circumstances around it: For me 2013 was a strange year photographically, the year started processing my 'backlog' of exposed colour 120 film from as far back as 2003. Then I shot the remains o...
