Almond blossom with the MX-1
Your square format is very appropriate for the subject and the out of focus background is beautifully rendered also. The MX-1 is very useful for close up subjects, as are many compact cameras, and the quality is very nice indeed.

A couple from this afternoon
Thank guys. Danny, It hung around long enough to get 8 shots (singles, not machine gunned). Unfortunately presumably because of the difficult light, half were out of focus, the others had grass in front of the face.

A Fond Farewell From Me
Even though I don't normally like milky smooth seas these are superb photos. I am confused though - I thought you were moving back to Brighton so why won't you see the West Pier again?

A Fond Farewell From Me
Thanks for the comments. Gwyn, the structure is now on its last legs, recent storms have ripped out that gap you see. So it might not be there when I get back there for good. I was desperate for one last chance and was lucky with the light and tides. I missed out on the very low tides by a few d...

A Fond Farewell From Me
As others have commented, these are beautifully done. I particularly like the second image and I'm looking forward to seeing some more of your pictures when you get back to the English Coastline permanently. Regards David

Wandering round Winchester
Ah, a City I used to spend a lot of time in when I was in my late teens and early 20's. I went back there about a year ago and not much has outwardly changed. A nice collection, Aura, well done :) Edit: Just realised I've got some shots from last year, I'll try and upload a couple... Furt...

Jumping spider
I do like that, the focus is spot-on. In our garden we have a lot of these spiders living on a fence, but they move so quickly I haven't managed to get a decent shot of them yet. Regards David

Diagonals
I wouldn't say 'don't go, but they've definitley thrown the baby out with the bathwater but having said that it is very successful. One architectural review suggested that they should have just shown one loco in the entire place and that would have been amazing, its too cluttered and I've found it v...

Diagonals
This is a building I'm dying to visit before long. David David, I would disagree with Ken regarding the building and it's contents. There are still many items you can get up close to. I admit the floor area is less than the old museum but it's still an impressive collection. The street brings ba...

First attempts at off camera flash
I'm no good at portraits but I can appreciate you've achieved some excellent results (especially for a first time) - you've made the lighting look almost like daylight, the focus on the eyes is superb and the skin tones are beautiful. And they look as though butter wouldn't melt :wink:

First attempts at off camera flash
Hi Phil For a first attempt you should give yourself a pat on the back. I took the liberty to edit image number 3, just so that you can get an idea of what you would get with very little Photoshop processing and the lighting you used, I hope you don't mind and see this as constructive. Al...

First attempts at off camera flash
My first thought was they all look flat, and Fletcher has done a great job at making one of them 'pop' A lot of it is in the processing these days, as was a lot of it darkroom work back in the old days. My only comments on the content of the shots themselves is that your little one's seem to...

Engine houses, any suggestions?
I like it as a silhouette. The blacker the better. CHEERS Vic. OK, I can see keeping the buildings in silhouette but I would crop off some of the band along the bottom. OK Barrie maybe your right? I would (If it was mine) just a teeny weeny bit brighten the back ground to make the silhouette stand...

Pics with my new DA* 50 135
Love it! Never thought a 50mm onwards type zoom would be my thing but its making me shoot a lot differently already. Nearly bought a DA*55 but glad I held back and got this instead

First proper Testing with the DA * 50 135
That's a quality lens Alistair, these are the best street shots I have seen you post so far. I'm hoping my 50-135 will focus a bit quicker as it has the latest SDM motor fitted, I'll report back when it arrives. However, I think the focus speed is more to do with the focus throw (long) on this l...

First proper Testing with the DA * 50 135
I keep going back to look at the picture of the girl with blue eyes and hat, its razor sharp where it needs to be and creamy smoothb where it needs that too. I've always seen zooms as pragmatic work horses but this is really something else

K3 available detail
In the 100% crop what's that light coloured line in the right handside of the image that starts on her eyebrow and goes down over her eyelahses? it looks to thin to be a hair in comparison to her other hairs. The other thing I wonder is, although this level of detail is great for vicious cropping...

Gig photos
The k-5 mkii is the king of low light auto focussing. I shot fall out boy at Manchester arena last night Nd my d600 was focus hunting all the way through, I'm pleased with the image quality from it but the sooner Pentax brings out an ff body and lenses the better for me.
