Leaderfoot Viaduct
Gary, in answer to your question, the apertures are down to inexperience. The shots with the Sigma 10-20 where on a tripod so I thought given the good light and shutter speed the smaller the better. What would I have gained using something like f8? Diffraction at small apertures will cost you image ...

Alpine summer
These are lovely, John. We used to visit the Alps quite a lot and your pictures certainly bring back memories of exciting (and frustrating) weather conditions.

Some more red squirrels
Alan - don't you dare - I love squizzies and only ever see the occasional grey one running across the yard masquerading as my back garden. I used to see red ones in the Shinnel Glen in Dumfriesshire but couldn't get those ones as I was occupied with a pair of ponies attached to a small carriage t...

Just one from yesterday
I was outside trying to get a shot of some flowers when this very obliging fella came along. Taken with a k5iis + dxenon 100mm f2.8 and a 2x converter with the glass removed. manual mode and manual focus. Cc most welcome. Derek

Just one from yesterday
Great innovative use of equipment ... I'm guessing that your use of the TC without glass turns it into a type of extension tube?. Also would like to know more about the lens, who made it,what age, auto-diaphragm setting or not, and us it a full macro? Its all worked very well, nice gentle lighting a...

Going nowhere
Both are great images; however prefer the first - the background soft focus woodland makes the shot for me

Lighthouses and Stuff
Hi David For what it's worth, my comments on an area I know like the back of my hand - dread to think how many photos of the 'new' lighthouse I have! 1. Love the clarity of this shot and the stark textures of the stone. For me this works with these light conditions 2. It has mainly all been...

Evening walk around Arne Peninsula
Arne is a beautiful heathland site at the western end of Poole Harbour. Primarily an RSPB reserve, it has an abundance of colourful bell heather at this time of year. A lovely low sun on Wednesday evening gave me an opportunity to take these shots. Nos. 1 & 3 with K5 and Pentax 17-70, 2 & 4 take...

Moment in time
As I continue my 365 challenge I find some days I do not want to go out hunting a picture but today I am glad I did. I went to my local park to catch up with the signets I photographed earlier in the year and while I was doing that I noticed that the ducks were jumping up out of the lake on to the b...

The eye is about as sharp as the rest if the body and head, as well as the water splashes. So is it a focus or shutter speed issue Alan? It seems that the particular speed was needed for the wing movement ...

Hard to tell at this size but I think its focus Nigel. Looking at the edge of the pond I think the point of focus is just beyond the bird

Moment in time
I agree with John on this one. I think it's a little harsh to criticise the focus on the eye, I understand where Alan is coming from, especially as he is 'the king of wildlife' on here and Alan's standards are extremely high. It's a great shot, one that you would struggle to capture once in a bl...

Five in a row
Not sure about the subject here, not to my taste.... But I think that depth of field is a bit off. The leg at the front, the hand and the arm are in focus. The rest all seems a blur...perhaps it is the mud :D Personally I would have gone for the hand or an abstract of the mudtones on the skin...

Five in a row
I like the composition of No.2 and as far as I can see, everything that should be in focus is in focus. I think the mud takes the photo out of the ordinary...I like it:)

Five in a row
Could I make a suggestion before I post the first of my 'five in a row' tomorrow? I think we should start a new thread for each set of 5 images, otherwise it will extremely difficult for people to focus on the latest set of 5 as the thread will become too long and too full of images. What does e...

Something a little out of the usual from me. Which is your selfie?! :) Back in my biker days (even raced for 3 years) could have been any one of them - but sadly those days are a dim and distant memory:D Carl

Lady Bird Noise
I took this a few days ago after a drop of rain, the original shot was underexposed so i have tried to bring it back in photoshop, But noise is ruining the shot. I cant seem to get rid of it. I am posting my attempt here and have linked to flickr to the original unedited shot, if anyone wants to dow...
