Not my thing Fletcher but here you go ..... The the light grass hit me straight away, particularly at the back. Both left and right are darker, through vignette or flash fall off. While a band sown the centre is brighter 2nd thing is the boys face needs to be lightened up. Am I going a bit too...

A really pleasing shot. I'd have been well pleased with this. A dark vignette might tone down the grass a bit and focus our attention on the subjects. The eyes are much better in the revised version.

Hi Fletcher8 Personally I think the latest version is almost there and it's a beautiful family portrait. Although I still believe that the boy's eyes and the girl's on the right of the picture still look slight unnatural. I often hark back to something I was once told by an an extremely goo...

Hullman, your point above is right in one aspect ... If there are technical deficiencies in a family portrait photographers professional work then yes, most clients won't say anything. But many won't go back ever again.

RIAT 2014, BLADES AND PROPS
Yes, nice set and No.12 gets the award from me as well. It's difficult (for me anyway!:oops:) to get the trade off between shutter speed and lens shake with a longer lens, so I set up for higher shutter speeds for the fast movers and forget to adjust for the props. I think that you've caught the he...

RIAT 2014, JETS
I get some similar softness on exactly the same combination, Kx and Tamron 70-300. Talking to forum contributor Simon Arron a few weeks ago he mentioned similar issues with the same lens, and suggested perhaps trying a manual focus approach for better results - if your lens is like mine, you know as...

RIAT 2014, JETS
Hi Mike, yeah, it does seem to be a minor issue (in the grand scheme of things) with the autofocus not being able to cope at times. Sometimes as well its partly me if the lens is at max length (300mm) or close to this as it is hard to acquire a fast moving target in the first place with small Fie...

Royal International Air Tattoo 2014 (RIAT 2014)
Brilliant shots Mike...as ever. That lens sure is sharp.I'm not sure i'd want to go the whole hog and lug the 50-500 about all day but I could do with an upgrade to a 120-400 or something similar! Where the 50-500 does gain though is in having the low zoom range covered as well for the aerobatic ...

Nice one Alan. Do you think the 560 has increased the number of opportunities for "good shots" over your Sigma 150-500? Less opportunity for "good shots" Barrie because of the lack of flexibility. But more opportunity for "excellent" shots. For example, at the weekend I shot a Kingfisher with the...

Thanks Mike. Its very positive in good light. Got quite a few of these reed warblers out of focus prior to the light improving

From what I have read on the American Pentax forum the AF tube from SRB is basically a piece of badly fitting c**p. The buyer sent it back for a refund.

The problem with using an old 2xTC without glass is that it won't have much impact on the minimum focus on a 560mm lens and a lot of light will be lost. I'm not sure this would be viable, but I have a 2x AF converter Alan that I'd be willing to sell for about £999 if you fancy a go? Cheers Davi...

One from tonight's sunset
I've just shot this image on my K-3 with the DA*50-135, in our back garden this evening. We get some stunning sunsets and tonight's was particularly interesting. As I stood out there I heard the Geese approaching, heading back to the lakes in Rother Valley Country Park (which is next to our house)...

Honeyeater
Its got very realistic detail and just the perfect amount of sharpening I find. The very narrow DOF works well as the branch goes out of focus along its length, which if very effective. A great capture! I would probably try and do something with the bright patch in the top left corner ... I'll a...

London
Its a bright and nicely varied set. The image quality from your k3 & lenses looks excellent. That first shot is very effective, a most dramatic viewpoint, and a good balanced exposure. I also like the panorama shaped one from Greenwich Park, which is nicely composed with plenty for the eye to fol...
