Farne Islands 31st May
Thanks Alan. There weren't that many puffins going about with the Sand Eels so you might be OK waiting a while. I took the 1.7x with me and used that with the 300 as needed. I was hampered getting the terns when the 50-135 SDM focus packed in. Pentax SDM lenses are not my favourite just now:evil:...

Watching me, watching you ....... Ahaaaa
I really wanted to go but the stupid buses run at daft times, and the last one back to Salisbury is 6.05. They usually put on one of them stupid skipper buses, where everyone plays sardines.

Some Recent Macros Not With A Butchered Zoom
Wide open on the reversed lens - if you stop it down then you can't see much anyway. Minimum aperture on the normal lens as long as the light allows. Then set the focus on the normal lens to the point where it stops vignetting. For the DFA100macro this was at 35cm.

Some Recent Macros Not With A Butchered Zoom
You should see the cutting room floor. It is almost too difficult a setup to use in the field (for me anyway). The more you practise the less you throw away. But it is still a lot. It's impossible to know if you have obtained focus or kept still enough, so you tend to take several just in case. Som...

Stepping back in time
I returned to Beamish this week with the K3 and K5. The working locomotive giving rides to visitors on the 1820s colliery line was Steam Elephant, built about ten years ago from plans dating from 1816. The fireman's gloves Steam Elephant at work On Track At Pockerley Manor Farm ...

The first shot looks 'handy'. The bedroom shot is great, we have a similar museum called Milestones, nice if they had some outdoor stuff. :)

A lovely series David and contrary to some recent posts I don't mind you naming the images instead of just numbering them, it adds a bit of personality! Personal favourite? I think it is possibly the 'gloves' shot, but they are all very good. Regards David

They are photographer friendly and umm... it's got a bar with real beer... ...

North Wales Trip
The half term holidays just passed and I was getting fed up with planning and school work, so decided to take an inpromptue trip to North Wales. Having never been there before here are some shots from various places. I will definitely be going back when I have more time! Wales is beautiful! 1. ...

Street clicks
I like number one, apart from the reflection in the glasses, because you can't see the eyes. Maybe one of our PP experts could tell us if it's possible to remove it? So that leaves the last one as the best for me. The composition, the out of focus background and the B&W treatment all just seen to wo...

Nigel's Rather More Stranger Shots
Back out again in South Kensington with renewed confidence after the success of my first attempts at this genre ... Shop-Window Street Portraits. I decided to go for variety this time, looking for all sorts, a real cross-section of the local demography. Being South Kensington though, it was hard to ...

Nigel's Rather More Stranger Shots
I'm no expert, Nigel, but I'm sure I've read somewhere that you're always supposed to get the eyes in focus. :) Cheers. Philip

Nigel's Rather More Stranger Shots
Creepy...something about the 'Dr Who' faceless entity about them. 7 and 10 are great as well These are very good indeed Nigel, the idea is great and your compositions just right. The Doctor Who comment is fair enough as well, we could believe these would animate and smash their way out into the str...

Cyril the Squirrel
Morning all Well after my perseverance on Thursday night to get some nice close up shots of squirrels at the park near work I decided to go again last night. It was a similar experience with hesitance from Cyril at first but I didn't have to wait quite as long this time before he decided his ...

Misc Street Shenanigans
Love these Alistair, they are more imaginative than just the 'normal' street portraits. I too like the second one, the way you have put the point of focus on the artist's pad is superb. Regards David
