Certainly is Andrew, it comes to the party so many times ... Well, I don't take it to actual parties, but you know what I mean! Thanks all for your replies here ... Good points about the space in front, will focus on that next time ... A bit of a challenger I found with the relative movements of th...

Durham Photo Walk
The images are lovely Carl, compositions are great, especially number 8 which is my personal favourite. There is one thing that although it doesn't spoil them for me I have noticed and that is that the skies are blown in all of them where sky is visible and the exposures look a tad overcooked in ...

Portland Bill
Nice set Mike and brought back memories for me. I used to go there every year with my Grandparents many years ago. Doubt I have seen it for more than 35 years. Carl

More Sports Shots My Way
Some great candid captures there QC. The K5 and Siggy 50-500 combination seems to have snapped into focus like lightning to grab these decisive moments. David PPG: http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/artists/davidtrout

Never really tried this
I like the last one. Sparkly :) The trick is to pre-focus on a nail or something arranged to stick out of the water where the drops are falling. Presumably the drops come from the exact same place every time? A dripping tap is ideal to get your hand in with these shots.

My First Wedding!
A while back I posted a message on the forums about my fears about an upcoming wedding I had agreed to do. I forgot to post the photos from the day! Thankfully the couple agreed to let me shoot the way I wanted to and they were well chuffed. In the end it was an enjoyable experience and one ...

Nice to see you back Stuey, 3 and 7 are my pick.

I love the low light sea scenes and silhouettes where the stark contrast works perfectly, and there's such richness in the skies. The daylight beach scenes look rather too saturated with a red/orange tone ... Perhaps pulling this back would help ... Great to see you out and at it again!

Welcome back, Stuey. A bit garish for my tastes but Martin Parr would love them The style really suits the crowded beach shot. the Vitesse is nice but needs a less cluttered background to show it off. I drove one once, very fast. Too fast.

Five in a Row - Bwlchmawr
The colour is gorgeous and the composition perfect. What a contrast with how this area would have appeared at the height of South Wales coal mining. I'd like to visit the Big Pit, along with a drive up one or other of the Valleys, maybe next year as we want to go back to Clevedon in the summer. I...

Five in a Row - Bwlchmawr
Thursday Buying Fish The MX-1 is not a perfect camera. It's too big, heavy and ugly for what it is. There's no viewfinder, the articulating screen looks like it was fitted by a blacksmith and the operating system is glacial in its slowness when processing files. When I move form this little...

Five in a Row - Bwlchmawr
I imagine the landscapes in Southern Spain can sometimes be quite arid - never been so I might be totally incorrect - but this image has captured lovely colour. The clump of grasses makes an extremely attractive focal point in the foreground. I'm sure this sums up the region beautifully, Going back...

Five in a Row - Bwlchmawr
Back to full colour for your last one ... And what fabulous colour it is! It's good you're enjoying the K5 as it had really worked hard for you here and reproduced a great mix of tones . Excellent framing and sharpness also.

Five in a Row - Bwlchmawr
Catching up late to this ( works been all consuming recently :() but have very much enjoyed this set Andrew. V thoughtfully selected, and I find the various comments and self- commentary hugely informative. Must now go back and catch up with former 5 in a rowers :)

My Third Kingfisher shot
Ok so in my quest to get a decent picture of a Kingfisher I have scoured the land (well maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, more like the Bournemouth area) to find a promising piece of land to get a shot of this elusive bird. I have posted my last 2 successful outings, the first and the second ...

My Third Kingfisher shot
Thanks for the comments, it was well worth the wait :D They are a wonderful set Mike. Which lens was the K-5IIs attached to? Sigma 50-500mm OS Barrie Well done Mike. Very impressive set. Were these taken at Blashford Lakes as per some of your recent postings ? They certainly were ... Shhhhh ...

My Third Kingfisher shot
Please note the date of the original post, it is 2 years ago:roll: Just goes to show my photography has a "timeless" quality about it :wink: Thanks for the extra comments anyway, been back on numerous occasions but not got another chance like this since. Shame as I would love to compare the 50-5...

One Saturday In Yorkshire (image heavy)
Thanks for all your comments, it looks like back to the drawing board for #10. The original was really a silhouette and maybe I pushed it too far.

Just another motorsport weekend...
Must have been a busy week, as it's taken me until Thursday to post any of this nonsense. A cocktail from Silverstone last Saturday and Brands Hatch on Sunday... Silverstone (all with K-5 IIs & Sigma 100-300mm f4) 1 - The Birkett Six Hours is one of British motor racing's engagingly diverse st...

Just another motorsport weekend...
Your output seems to get better and better! Very nice of you to say so, David, but motor racing shots tend to feature an element of luck. Silverstone isn't the best place for photography, even with the privilege of a media tabard (at some corners you really need a 500mm with TC, rather than the A...
