Help please, which one?
No 1 for me, I think it is helped by the way the background fades slightly towards the top of the frame. In the other two the background colours are so strong they compete with the in focus elements.

Help please, which one?
Background is best on No.1, but the foreground flowers are in better focus on No.2. Can you edit them together? Overall I think the first one edges it. Regards David

Largely out of focus
OOC? Just looked up wikipedia and it suggests "out of combat"! Out of camera? The photo has been edited in Lightroom but I didn't crank up the saturation etc. dramatically (+14 on the saturation slider, slight S-curve on the tonal curve, -19 on the blacks). The inside of our giant tulips really ...

Local hurling match
Went to take some shots at a local match this evening, first time to try a Gaa game. Just spent half an hour to see what it was like. Shot using k5iis and tokina atx sd 100-300 f4 manual focus. Shot in manual, iso 800, f8, shutter 1/1600th (just noticed some wonky horizons) :)

A Spring Flowers Feast for you .....
Thanks John and Kris, I appreciate the feedback :) . I take on board those points John, maybe a crop of 4 to a square shape might work .... I was messing around with the 50mm getting lots of different DOF effects, and I just like that one , but I suppose you're right, its hard to know what the s...

Down by the river...
They may well be hard to photograph but the final one is the best of the lot IMHO. The first one where they are canoodling is a standard (but nice) swan pose. The other one is telling a story - big time. And Yes, I still have a Weston with its invercone and it works a treat. It cost an arm and a ...

Down by the river...
I do remember the Weston meter and invercone but have never owned one. If you don't have an incident lightmeter, the best way to meter that shot is probably to take a reading off the palm of your hand (in the same light as the swans) using your camera set to spot metering and manual exposure - and...

RHS Gardens Rosemoor
Looking really good! You're clearly getting to grips with that camera :) Lovely colours and nice close framings. I think they could all do with a little less exposure .... perhaps 0.5 or 0.7 stops less ..... this should bring out the depth of tones better and avoid any blown - out whites (I think...

Chatsworth International Horse Trials
Thank you for the comments, I think 1 was my favourite but I can't help but love number 8... On the serious side it was my first serious outing with my two new lenses, both of which perform remarkably well. The 50-135 combined with the 1.4TC work especially well in this environment and seemed t...

Chatsworth International Horse Trials
What kind of settings you used would be super to know, if you don't mind sharing them :D Derek Thanks you for the kind words Derek. The settings were pretty consistent using TAV mode on the K3 with a shutter speed of 1000 and an aperture of F4.0 letting the camera choose the ISO which usually...

Chatsworth International Horse Trials
A tremendously good set of images, more so considering it was your first proper outing with these lenses. Thank you David, still getting used to the new toys and still being constantly surprised when I get back to the computer at the quality that pops up as LR imports them from the memory card. Bes...

a few from the Lizard Peninsula, Cornwall
Mullion is where I have my water tank/man cave, up on the hill. It's taking a while to empty the water and move in, but in the mean-time it's a lovely area to just get off-grid for a few days and go walking. I should be there now, setting up the site shed and solar panels, but I pulled my back mo...
