Water drop with 645
I set this up with the K5 and then used the Zed, hoping for massive prints and exquisite quality, but it wasn't better at all :( The lens had to be stopped down so much to get the whole drop in focus (or shoot from further back and crop), that the image became noisy and soft. This one turned out o...

Nicely done David. This gives me a problem - 1, 4 and 5 are very similar to 3 of the 5 I was going to post - oh well back to the drawing board - I may have to include the very large lady who was almost wearing a vivid blue dress :D Carl

5 in a Row - Fritzthedog
Why is it things that sound easy are always the hardest? So - having been invited to do this - the first challenge was to decide what I was going to do with my 5. After much debate with myself - I settled on sharing a series of images taken over the past few years of the area I have visited most ...

5 in a Row - Fritzthedog
The street architecture shot is very good indeed Carl. I love the colour and the compression of the long lens which highlights the detail. (What do you mean about it being grim up North Andrew?) The seascape is lovely, with the colour in the sky and sea making it for me. There is a soft focus feel ...

[quote:3496ace15f="swarf" Now to nit-pick - the top of the reflection of the girls head just cuts the edge of the frame, does it clear it in the original? It is not unknown, down our way, for judges to criticise (at great length!) when this happens with a reflection, or a shadow, or anything else...

Autumn Abstracts & Highlights
Lovely, Nigel! This is the kind of thing I keep trying to do with not much success so far, so I'm very impressed. The only one I'm not sure about is no. 5 - I find the out-of-focus right-hand side very distracting, but all the others are superb, especially since, as David says, they are so different...

I really like them as a set with the theme of the leaves running throughout. And I like that you are varying the settings to give a wide range of different visual effects across the set. As has been mentioned, they would look great large in a physical gallery. I have just started to experimen...

Thanks all for taking the time and the trouble to comment on these... very useful as ever to hear people's personal preferences on specific pictures vs the whole... and detailed thoughts on each... Andy, you saw a couple of things that I hadn't: the blue in no. 9, the fact there is no conspicuous po...

I can only agree with others Bill - these work brilliantly well as a set. The last one is the stand out for me with the stark black hard rock and white soft water contrast. I went through a phase of doing exactly these sort of shots a couple of years back across North Yorks - Richmond, Bolton Abbey ...

New to K-3, low light test
I have problems in low light with my K200D, but the problem is not ISO as I use bounced flash, it's that the camera can't focus :evil:

New to K-3, low light test
I think it very much depends on what lens you are using on your k200d, if you are using a F4 or slower lens than even the K3 cant really lock focus in low light as well.

New to K-3, low light test
Nice shots! The Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 is great if you want to shoot in low light with a K3. I recently sold mine (I've bought an A7s, which gives cleaner results at ISO 6400 than my K3 did at ISO 200) but while I had the lens I was extremely impressed with it; it's as sharp wide-open at any focal l...

You have clearly been enjoying Norway. Your photos are bringing back happy memories. Thanks Gwyn. The two days of torrential rain had me worried I wasn't going to get any nice images, but we had some nice light on the way there and on the last day. Fantastic place for landscape photography, especi...

Brilliant shot, shows off the camera / lens combination really well. I always had a soft spot for my 16-45, it gave me some great images, but I couldn't justify keeping it when I had a 17-70 as well. Regards David I've got a soft spot for my K30, its a lovely little camera which I bought when t...

I really like the Idea here Barrie, .......is it just me, or would this be better getting in closer to concentrate on just the stems and bases or just the globes to produce a more abstract image? Those two out of focus glass bases at the bottom really shout at me ...........It's probably jus...

Expired C41 film (2007) with Pentax MZ6
Hi QC, I've had a lot of expired film and film exposed 'ages ago' processed recently, some examples are shown here: (most of the shots that look 'fine' haven't been included as there's nothing to see generally). I shoot almost exclusively Ilford mono film (easier to get hold of and I prefer to s...

Some Late Summer Close-Ups
Thank you all for your comments! The Miranda is a manual focus zoom, I'm guessing from the mid to late eighties, and certainly proved it's worth. However, I carried out some test shots with my 'new' F35-70 macro today and that's looking very good ... Can't wait to get out and shoot properly with i...
