Helicopter near home
Very very strange - after I had got it the first time it went away and then came back to a different area - could have been between Toryglen and Rutherglen area and was circling and hovering there for about 15 mins . Unfortunately there was no chance to get another shot of it - wrong lens and hous...

Helicopter near home
Not only was it the wrong lens etc - but I could really have done with the CPL on it ! Mine was a real grab and get it as I couldn't see the chopper from inside the house so had to go into the yard first then come back in and grab it . I'd an 18-75 on it [ last time it was used was inside the Church...

Arundel WWT, Sept 7
I'd set off with every intention of going to Brands Hatch (or possibly Snetterton), but the Met Office foretold of cloudy conditions... and identified a pocket of sunlight towards the south coast. As a result, motorsport was for once cast aside and instead I took the DA300 to the WWT centre at Arund...

Lovely capture Marie. For me perhaps a little crop of the wall on the left where it is out of focus? I know that is part of the DOF but it feels a tad distracting.

I can see what you're trying to achieve Maria but I agree with John on this one. It also seems to be 'out of focus' rather than 'soft effect', if that makes any sense..... (I know what I mean anyway:)) Looking forward to the next ones :D

I like the intent of the third image Maria, but for me there needs to be an area that is a bit sharper. I also wonder whether a light vignetting around the edge would help to focus the eye a bit more, as it is I tend to find myself wandering all over the image, not knowing exactly which bit to look...

Thanks for all the comments everyone, i find it quite difficult to get this sort of shot right, shooting through the foliage and trying to get the main point of interest sharp isn't that easy there will always be a leaf or something similar covering it, you need very long arms and a pair of scissors...

#3 doesn't work for me Maria. Its a good try but the overall effect is out of focus rather than soft focus. David PPG: http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/artists/davidtrout

Swanage Harbour, an Overview
OK, here goes! I always seem to be the one to say something that disagrees with the other comments, but I can only say it as I see it! First of all, the compositions on most of these are very good, the exception to this is the first one that to me looks like a telephoto view for no reason. It...

Low Barns - Kingfisher
After a heads up from tomkeet, we spent a very nice morning in the Durham Wildlife Trust site at Low Barns. We had just set up in the hide when a Kingfisher arrived so I clicked away but when I looked at the rear screen..."No card in camera". I'd waited a long time to be able to take an image of ...

First Couple of weeks back with the "old" K3
Still grinning inanely everytime I pick it up, I have my Mojo back but the missus thinks I've gone simple!:oops: Many thanks to Mike P for making it happen!:D Just a small selection from many... All with the Pentax 17-70 F4, which was the only lens I had until last week! (Again thanks to Mike P!)...

Its good to see you back up and running with Pentax again, glad you have been able to get hold of a K3 again, and nice to see these familiar Lakes scenes. :)

I can but echo Nigel's comments, Jules. Stickle Tarn has particular appeal, but they're all lovely.

I like all these. You seem to have quickly adapted to the camera. --

Wish we had scenery like that (I suppose we do what with the the New Forest etc but you take it for granted after a while) ... very nice indeed.

Hi Jules, Lovely opportunity for you and made good use of. The one lens fine for the landscape work. I particularly like the late afternoon and evening light compositions. Shame there is no EXIF to understand your settings and use of the lens though, just a copyright notice.
