K10D in Cornwall
I love the last one, a beautiful sweeping view. What was the lens and focal length? And could we see it in colour also? The 2nd to last is odd with that rather extreme halo. Its good to go back and work through older shots... Digital now means they can be processed and come out looking like new!

K3 on a trip to Normandy for the D-Day beaches
Where it all started at just past midnight on 6th June. Pegasus Bridge, a shot of the memorials to the gliders that landed to capture the Caen Canal bridges with the original Pegasus Bridge in the back ground.

A few from my recent visit to the Lakes
Thank you to everyone that's commented and picked their favourites, it's interesting to see a few common picks but still a wide range of opinions :-) It was an interesting few days for me and made me think a little about my photography. The first day or so I really struggled and didn't enjoy ta...

Getting Closer
After all the good recent advice here on getting close focusing shots, I've tried out my Jessops extension tubes properly for the first time ... just a domesticated bunch of tiny flowers which I took outside into some light and set up the K7 on the tripod. The flowers are only about half to one ...

Getting Closer
Nice shots, Nigel - lovely flowers, good focus, detail, and colours. Perhaps consider cropping closer to the main flower in #1 to remove those two bits at the top. There are some obvious shiny speckles on the petals in #3 - is that really there, or is it maybe slightly over-sharpened? Cheers....

Getting Closer
Well done, Nigel Using extension tubes is very demanding. I gave up quite early on as the viewfinder is so dark making focusing difficult. Thanks for the encouragement :) I enjoy getting in close to these sort of subjects, so you're guaranteed plenty more from the K7 & I ... Is it recently on dig...

Pyrenees
Thanks folks. So many of the shots I took had a flat, two-dimensional feel to them. I really feel that with the K5 it pays to shoot in RAW. Dave, I can recommend the Pyrenees: they're very accessible, much quieter than the Alps and almost as lovely. The wild flowers are amazing. Nigel, We al...

Pyrenees
These are all really nice Andrew, but for me the first of the mono conversions is an absolute stunner. Regarding images from the K-5, I have always found it to be a superb camera, except for some focus issues I had with my first one and certain (not all) lenses. However, I do prefer the output fro...

Durham Cathedral
Thanks Carl - much appreciate your input. I meant to pick up the 12-24, but took the 10-20 in error :( I completely agree regarding straightening/lens correction. Maybe corrction, as I seemed to straighten in one direction the best I could, and it had a negative impact elsewhere. In #4, the C...

Durham Cathedral
As to the view from the Tower of the City. I've climbed up and back down those stairs once. Lets call it a "once in a lifetime". I'm still knackered. My knees are killing me :lol: My knees empathise - I did something I have been meaning to do for a long time on Monday - the Ingleton water fall trail...

Even More Stranger Street Shots
Back out in the dark alleys & edgy side streets around South Kensington, lurking and leaping with the K7 and Tamron 135mm f2.8, I caught these latest unsuspecting strangers unawares. As usual went for an eclectic mix of characters just standing there doing their thing. 1) 2) ...

A few from Chester
Nice shots :D We used to hire rowing boats from the groves area then row up river to the Red House, moor up, get bladdered then row back get some awful takeout and crash out at a friends house :D:D The Old Trooper has been pretty decent for many years :D (24 years in my experience)

Great shots Alan, didn't know the Hoppings were back until I saw it mentioned on facebook :shock::roll:

A few recent shots
Another strong coastline set Tom! Favourite for me is No4 with its beautiful rocks and motion in the foreground, and it is all perfectly balanced I feel. No1 is so tranquil, really lovely with natural tones. I do wonder if the sandy areas in 2 and 3 are just a tiny bit too bright, perhaps 1/3rd ...

Walk about from today
I also like the mono treatment. Very graphic images. I agree with Geordie about the location, Eldon Square and Grainger Market. This is my happy urban hunting ground. I loved my MX back in film days and wish I'd kept it although I have no plans ever to sue film again. David PPG: http://www.pent...

Seeing in Black and White?
I still have and use a Kodak 'pan glass', although theses days it's only used for looking at clouds trying to figure out how long it'll take for the sun to come back out! Mine is a neutral dark grey and was supposed to give you a better idea of lighting ratios in a scene, never could figure out how...
