Which one guys???
Colour for me too. Crop a bit off the top (16:9?) and desaturate a bit, try and get some highlights back.

Which one guys???
OK, I expect people to disagree, but I always feel that if you didn't decide it would be mono when you pressed the shutter then it should be colour. It is very much a personal opinion and I think it goes back to having two film cameras (one with mono film and one with colour slides) that you alwa...

The K3 @ Bramham International Horse Trials
This is the second time using the K3 at equine events and the camera is doing really well, I have had a play with the various focus settings in the menus and will be posting my findings later on this week. The tracking has really been improved, I use the user settings for different lenses for differ...

The K3 @ Bramham International Horse Trials
Thanks Alan. Everything is fairly fast paced so you just have to be ready. Yes I was really annoyed that I cut her foot off, as i really like that image, but you only get one take at the horses coming out of that door way. I think the interesting thing is how well the K3 is doing focus tracking wise...

Barn Owls ISO 4000
I read an article recently which compared todays technology with what was available to bird photographers back in the 70's & 80's, where generally they'd have to accept much slower shutter speeds than ideal , so not many freeze-frame pin sharp images like we see regularly now. The author showed ...

Malvern
Beautiful image. The crop is absolutely fine IMO; nicely balanced, good lead-in and fabulous clouds. As above, a small WB adjustment would be enough to remove the blue cast all over. Just to satisfy myself tho', I dropped it into PS, hit auto colour (feelin' lucky) and then faded the result (CMD-S...

The Learning Curve
Following on from recent (superb) forum posts by darkskies, Dr O and CharlotteF, I've been on a massive learning curve this past week or so and I've also been busy building myself some home-made kit that will do justice to what I'm trying to achieve. I'm still waiting for the final piece in the jig...

The Learning Curve
The good advice has clearly paid off David - full marks to you for pulling yourself along the curve! Big bug heads are not my thing, but I sure can appreciate the technique and patience required to get these things sharp & in focus. :)

The Learning Curve
There is noticable camera shake David, and the flash could do with being diffused a bit more as there are 'hot spots'. A little tip - when focusing I focus into the creature rather than just on the the bit closest to the lens, that gives a bit more DOF. (not sure if that makes sense 'tis fdifficu...

The Learning Curve
Hats off to Charlotte! I think I can now see what she means about camera shake. Take the first image above and compare it with a similar one shot just before, that I haven't posted here. I've cropped the same area and drawn on it where I think there is evidence of movement. However, I don't thin...

The Learning Curve
Not bad at all,how close are you having to get with these shots David? I also purchased the equipment to have a play at this and have the hotshoe, diffuser, flash and Nikkor lens on my table as I type but the 28-80 I purchased off Ebay ended in so many parts it went into the bin in disgust as I c...

The Learning Curve
You could have used your nice newly acquired K3 to make a video of the dismantling procedure and taken photo's at salient points of your progress for use as a reference to the rebuild. Just an idle thought! lol...:D That's an interesting one! How many of you would be prepared to sit and watch a...

The Learning Curve
:? it took me about 15 minutes with a tiny screwdriver, drill and a pair of long nosed pliers. Girlie fingers might have given me an advantage I suppose. :oops: You must have had a different lens to me Charlotte! Mine was a metal construction, with 4 separate sets of elements in front of the apertu...

The Learning Curve
Enlarging lenses are a good choice for macro and micro photography, being computed for flat field and close distances. I'm not totally sure about your three new shots though as so much of them is out of focus. Focus stacking is one impressive option, but in conventional photography there's no eas...

Out and about with the K-3
Thanks guys :D Are you finding the AF an improvement? Not really, the af speed seems the same as the K-5II and from the limited use I have had with the K-3 it seems the tracking is really not much improved either. The extra focus points seem helpful though.

gotta love the K5
Thanks guys. I haven't noticed any iffy focus as such. You may have to help it with a contrasty edge, but the K5 still gets there accurately in my experience - hopefully the subject hasn't moved ;)
