First set with the 1.4 HD AW Teleconverter
Thank you to Ronnie, Smeggy, Dave, Mark and Lennybloke for the additional feedback, it is very much appreciated guys. No.1 has the lighting and focus spot-on (to my eyes) - what aperture was it? This one was F6.3 Colour in particular stands out. Sharpness at this size is difficult to establish...

Birds of prey
Gorgeous birds, shame you missed focus on the eyes in #2 though.

Passion flower with K-3
Great Photo hogboy, way back when we used to call these whirlygigs. Must get one of those lenses.

Superb, with also a touch of:mrgreen: I myself find the first one I keep going back to, but like I said they are all superb.

Another vote for No2, the out of focus backdrop (sand dunes?) really brings it out of the ordinary :) Kind regards PeteA

Thank you all for commenting. I'll give your suggestions a try. Well I think they are great, must get down the beach. Another vote for No2, the out of focus backdrop (sand dunes?) really brings it out of the ordinary :) Not the beach or dunes, one of the pools outside RSPB Saltholme

My first few with the FA77 ltd
Like them is number 9 a little cooler in the white balance? Possibly. To my eyes on my monitor it looks quite similar to #8, but maybe that's because I know it was taken under identical light. It's also hard to get an accurate impression on my monitor because it's failing (top half is significantly ...

300 DA* .. also an excellent lens for macro photographing
Those are really nice. If I had to be really picky then the background colour variations in #1 (purple splodge) and #4 (red splodge) are a bit distracting. Similarly the out-of-focus leaf in #3 tends to draw my eye away from the main subject. This is all really picky stuff though - I would be pro...

I stand by impeccable. I think you're being overly critical Chris, when the images are quite delightful. It doesn't matter what they were shot with, but if we think they are good there's no reason not to say so. Here we go again. You think I'm being overly critical, I'm offering a genuine, honest p...

300 DA* .. also an excellent lens for macro photographing
Great shots! My DA*300 is the most used lens I own. On it's own or with the 1.4x and 1.7x TC's it's a great wildlife lens. Once the Dragonflies and Butterflies appear in numbers, I then use it manual focus with a 36mm extension tube (old Jessops model with contacts) - nice working distance with hi...

300 DA* .. also an excellent lens for macro photographing
I've had a go with macro and know how hard it is to do well. These are wonderfully good. Very sharp and colourful. I know there are some out of focus anomalies but they're hard to remove after the fact and difficult to spot when you're taking the shot. I spent ages plucking bits of grass away when I...

My 2nd. attempt at Macro.
I hear what you're both saying. Thanks for the advice. BUT in this case I'd have got my chest and my beard muddy. I was on one knee trying to keep my balance and my back was killing me. CHEERS Vic.

Walk from Cap D'ail to Monaco.
Hi Jemma Thanks for posting the pics and asking for feedback. What I would do is focus more on the details rather than the wider views, to isolate individual elements of the landscape and architecture. Most tourists will not do this, so by definition you will end up with shots that look differe...

Walk from Cap D'ail to Monaco.
If you want some inspiration for taking location pics learn from the master, the late Vivian Maier She was the genius in doing exactly what David suggested when he said "What I would do is focus more on the details rather than the wider views, to isolate individual elements of the land...

Nigel's First Stranger Shots
Never really felt too comfortable about doing this kind of thing, but have seen so many of this type of pic lately that I'm prompted to have a go. Took off from work early evening on a break to see what I'd find. Felt a bit nervous at first, but soon warmed up and was put at ease. A bit worried t...

Nigel's First Stranger Shots
Very interesting. Given that you can't exactly focus traditionally on the eyes, keeping nearly everything in focus as you have was probably quite a sensible option, since there's lots of line, colour and pattern to maintain the interest. They clearly work best as a set, rather than individual im...
