The Life-cycle of a Poppy
I really like emergence :) I scattered poppy seeds a few years back in the back garden and nothing came of it, May have to retry as I really like them :)

The Life-cycle of a Poppy
Nice set of photos. I once made a serie of seed heads, they take on quite some character when they start to dry. I scattered poppy seeds a few years back in the back garden and nothing came of it, May have to retry as I really like them :) They often pop up if a patch of earth becomes bare. I t...

Watery Steps
One from tonight, this area is literally 4 minutes drive from my house. I did shoot what I thought was better composition but it's taken a whole heap of PP to make this image that I gave up on the rest of the mages I shot. It was billed in the eBay listing description as a great variable ND blah bla...

Motorsport at Monaco
Glad you enjoyed it, Mike. Monaco has the slowest average lap speed of the F1 season, but from trackside it looks like the fastest, because proximity embellishes the impression of speed. I do sympathise about the fences - and realise how fortunate I am to be able to access some of the locations I...

ID help
while out walking the dog, i spotted these two, high up in the trees. They kind of look similar to a thrush but the size and shape is wrong, they were about the size of a wood pidgeon. Any thoughts. Apologies for the poor quality these are hefty crops and i didnt quite nail the focus.

Some photos from the 150-450mm
From the very limited use I have had it seems pretty good, certainly faster than the 50-500mm and as fast as the 100-300mm f4 (which I have always thought was one of the fastest, if not the fastest focusing long lens in Pentax mount). I should imagine it's slightly faster on the K-3/II although I ha...

Back from Devon
It's great these days, holiday cottages have WiFi so we can be away with out being away. Fantastic! Anyway, this is the cottage, actually farmhouse, that we rented for the week: More to follow soon, but the fisheye seemed to work well from the bottom of the garden.

Back from Devon
You'll find this and many other cottages on the Cottages4You and Welcome Cottages websites. They are actually the same company, so whichever one you choose it's all the same.

Back from Devon
What a lovely spot, John. We spend quite a lot of time in Devon: it's a beautiful county. Looks like the weather was perfect. A bit damp over the weekend but looks like clearing up for next week. We've just come back from a week in Snowdonia. Not only no Wi-Fi but no mobile 'phone coverage, eithe...

2015 Cholmondeley Pageant of Power
Approximately my 1428th consecutive weekend of motorsport, I reckon... Nice to bump into Mike Edwards (droopsnoot) once again. Cholnondeley provided its usual eclectic mix of ancient and modern on two, three and four wheels. And, as ever, the weather was mixed (although the sun popped out for a whil...

A couple from my Church 52 project
St Kenelms, Alderley, Gloucestershire. a fairly plain Church inside but different in being decorated in pink and cream. the outside area just lent itself to be played with though. Alderley House is next to the Church and was built for the Hale Family who were also invoved with the Church rebuild ...

A couple from my Church 52 project
thanks for the comments. you are correct Peter a project 52 using the interiors but there is always more than just that. all these were HDR except the Bellcote and the pages about the window. i usually bracket all the shots then sort out afterwards which will get HDR processing and which will not ...

Pageant of Power, Cholmondeley 2015
Thanks Simon. As I thought about it, some other things came to mind. On Sunday I removed the polarising filter from my 18-200 walkaround lens, so maybe that helps either because it was a cheap filter or just because it lets a little more light through. I'll have to have a look but without the same s...

A few from my local beachline
Thank you all! It's just up the road from me. I wanted to revisit it after my last failed attempt with a variable ND filter left a dark cross across the frame. I like the stairs to hell! Or maybe they're the stairs from heaven back down to earth?!

Help identifying fungi please
Mornin' Stan. Do you mean my K3 OR my K3ii ? I have both now With grips. (My hands are like baby steam shovels) I've just done a few experimental shots with the K3ii. More or less just playing with it. Nothing of any merit. Now deleted. I tried the pixel shake on a travel blanket. On and off. The ac...

Help identifying fungi please
Stan I just had another look at your original photo and I'm not sure if it is "Chicken of the woods"? I'll have to look it up in my books. I'll get back to you. Mine is and it is good eating and I've been eating and sharing it with a friend for quite a few years now. As to my Yew tree it was pla...

New Stranger Street Faces (all on Film)
Even with my not so good computer screen these pics have warmth and life in them. I wonder if it is due to being film images that I guess you scanned after printing? Whilst film shooting was a long time hobby of mine I can't ever see going back to the dark room. The chems got to me and I find it ...
