Newcastle..... again!!!!
Thanks Patrick Thanks Alan, that sounds fairly simple in terms of the control choices at the HDR mapping stage. Have you tried the K3 HDR functions yet? Very simple Nigel, and no options for over the top effects. You put photos in, and get back out something that looks like a photo As to in ca...

Not quite one of your best this Alistair, the framing's a bit tight and the focus is just a tad off. The net result is an image that is not as striking as some you have posted in this genre. I'm not saying it's a bad image because it isn't, but you have set yourself high standards. Regards D...

I think shooting wide open and getting only one eye in focus is something I need to move away from Some of the great portrait photographers are shooting F8 and beyond. Doesnt matter in any event as Im shooting all film at the moment :)

I think the trick is to get both eyes in focus and a diffused background. My preference is F4 to F5.6 or so for this type of image, of course it also depends on the focal length and the distance of the subject from lens and background. You have nailed most of yours Alistair, hence my previous co...

Motorcycle racing: BSB finals, Brands Hatch
I haven't posted any motorsport shots for at least a few days, so... Before uploading, though, a word in praise of Alan Marlow at AM Technical in Shepperton. His repair service has received quite a few accolades on PU and I'd like to add another. He has just sorted out my much-used Sigma 100-300mm f...

Motorcycle racing: BSB finals, Brands Hatch
Are you finding [that 300] offers much over the 100-300? In terms of IQ, Mark, I don't think there;s a great deal in it. In terms of motor sport coverage, the 100-300 has a few clear advantages: I witnessed a couple of minor mishaps on Saturday, but was unable to capture them because the falling rid...

Motorcycle racing: BSB finals, Brands Hatch
Ah, yes, I often find myself missing stuff with the 300, or running backwards frantically trying to get the subject in focus. I was always so impressed with your shots with the Zoom, I did wonder just how much better it was possible to be. That sounds a bit sycophantic, but it's just an observation....

hmmm - David - an interesting thought . I normally go all out for colour but that's 2 I've now seen recently where I've really preferred B&W In this case I would be concerned that colour in the overlarge jumper and scarf would actually detract from the facial expression - and to me it's the ...

In this case I would be concerned that colour in the overlarge jumper and scarf would actually detract from the facial expression - and to me it's the face that's the focus of this shot Not to mention the red tractor back right :wink: Appreciate the comments, especially as its not my normal type ...

#3 I can't complain about it as I would not be up at 06.26 to take it. The intense colour and back lit clouds are great as are the reflections in the foreground. Would anything be lost if you cropped off the really dark patches on the bottom edge?

On a roll here Alan, No 3 is the one for me so far ... beautiful colours and a kind of soft focus effect ... gorgeous!

A few from this autumn
I love the rooftop shot with its creative depth of field which works perfectly for this subject. Not so taken with the others, I feel they would be better closer in, but they do convey that autumnal feeling! Glad you liked the roof, I was in two minds If I should include it with the 'Autumn' title b...

My favourite so far...
Rushing about under pressure to get back for the reception. Had to quickly arrange everything and obscure a Citroen with a couple of yoofs in. Hand-held the 645z, with the 55mm at 2.8 to maximise any dreamy bokeh. There was actually some fairly alarming double imaging going on in the busy out of ...

Quite a lot ? I'll say! That was wide open :D All through the day it was all about keeping the whites and retaining the shadows and the Zed is the king of exposing to the left ;) I was wondering about the back of the car. I might actually crop tighter that side and bring the couple over to th...

Tell you what, I'll buy the 35 off you and if you ever get a D, I promise here to sell it back to you :)

Oh few. Good. I just came back to this after looking at some trendy contrasty images and thought maybe it was a bit flat by comparison. Thanks guys.

Boats
Its not my usual thing, but I had the chance to take a ferry from Swanage to Poole during my holiday back in august, and I snapped a bit of surface marine life of various sizes from the deck. All taken with the K7 and either the DA 18-55 AL WR or 'M' 75-150 f4, shooting at ISO 400, SR activated,...
