In Stroud Yesterday Image heavy
a new experience for me using 2 old m42 lenses and all that entails,so a real learning curve. they are a Helios 4-44 58mm f2 and a Photax 135mm f3.5,definitely outside my comfort zone this focal length with something like a 3 meter min focus distance, the 58 i was happier with but still a lot to...

In Stroud Yesterday Image heavy
thanks for the replies, much appreciated. with 1 & 2 she was one side of the high street and i was the other because of the min focus distance of the lens. when i got home there was a head just where the end of the guitar was, must have got there just as i clicked and i did not notice, all i could w...

Hi Simon, Thanks again for taking the time to look and give really good and genuine advice. Yes the bloody B word again :) I have to admit yet again to failing on that one yet again. Its so easy to just follow the subject and not see whats in the background at the time. To be honest i never real...

Silverstone 2014, British Grand Prix
The only suggestion I can think of is to clone out the dot to the right of the pavilion roof in the last one. I'm on the case. Only spotted that after posting - I first thought it was a spec of dust on my laptop screen. And thanks to all for the positive comments. It's quite hard to get motivated...

Tour De France With K3
Well done Gareth, I spent all day at 'Le Tour' in Oughtibridge (Sheffield) yesterday, camera gear in tow! I know how difficult it is to get good shots of the race, it really is chaotic, fast and unpredictable. The other problem is that with so many riders in the pelleton, the camera doesn't know wh...

Farne Islands 2014
I'd be interested in anyone's comments on the following, please. I set out with the main aim of improving on what I was pretty chuffed with last year on the Farne Islands, but ended up disappointed. Started trying to get head-on puffin shots with K5 and Sigma 120-400 but found it too slow to auto-fo...

A few more from Northumberland
They are all excellent but Northumberland takes some beating. I agree with Stan reduce or remove the copyright notice and then the Northumberland Coast would be back where it should be "Top Dog". Regards David

Welcome back Ralf. Takes real skill to find a composition amongst all the choices; I like them all! Lovely processing as usual :)

Thanks guys! McGregNi, it's not toning but just desaturation. It's mainly two layers involved, the straight shot and a HDR'ed version (I'm using SNS-HDR but don't think it matters too much which software is used - the further processing is done in Photoshop). Depending on the shot I might copy th...

Poppies
Made me wonder this, before there was any colour film invented, did anyone actually bother to take any photos of flowers (or fields with poppies) ... Was there any point at all to such images then? I think you'll find people photographed virtually everything before colour film, although that was a v...

£50 reward
You mean like this ?? I must admit I can never make my mind up on the final crop on a lot of images, I think I've 'nailed it' and then go back the next day a prefer a different crop.

TDF - A view from the air
I found it very difficult photographing from the helicopter. Our 'airspace' was 1500ft and the largest lens I had with me was the Sigma 50-150. I started off using the Pentax 17-70 which was not up to the task at all. I also found that I 'reverted to type' and could not resist trying landscapes f...

A productive day out at Blashford lakes.
Thanks to a link Alan posted a while back on Wildlife trusts I found one quite local to me and so I decided yesterday to take a visit. Have to say I was very impressed and will be going back very soon to hunt for their resident Kingfisher that apparently visits every day apart from the one I decided...

Typical Perth
Very interesting set of photos.1st & last my favourites.No.4 looks like most back streets or yards and that is not a critiscism ,just that thousand of miles away is the same as 10 here. What is the significance of the hand markers ?. Regards Tony

Soccer action yesterday
I had to cover a 'Pre-Season' Friendly 'match between Maldon & Tiptree v Chelmsford City at the Maldon ( Essex) Ground -- I got a few with my 2007 K10D- I used two lenses -- a 100-300mm f4-5.6 SMC Pentax-F with manual focus and a 75-150mm f4 SMC Pentax-M also manual focus -- I sent off 20 to the Es...

penny for your throughts
I don't think the toning helps either, but I would think that the second image would look stunning in full colour. The first is a bit off-focus. Regards David

Bempton Gannets
Really interesting set #1 is particularly striking - gives a clear sense of the speed, and I like the intense focus of expression! Be even better if just a little more space on the rhs. Last one is also excellent - nice angle between bill and wing, and I like the B&W contrast on the wings ( j...
