Damselfies with the 645z
Thank you guys :) Bill, I was thinking the same thing about number 1 looking cutely inquisitive. I think this will be the first to hit the printer, but number 3 was the first to be processed. The profile shots were an attempt at getting more in focus when I normally prefer head-on and low-down for...

Pentax 150 - 450
good pictures, straight out of the camera meaing you shoot in JPEG? i can't help but notice the animals all look very sad :? They were JPEGS resized only, nothing else done to them whatsoever. As it was a warm late afternoon most were just lazing around, the lioness just lifted her head, looked ...

Barons in Salisbury, Wiltshire
It's a good way of exploring the city, the one above looks like the actor Gregory Peck. Many have pictures on the back too.

Barons in Salisbury, Wiltshire
A wonderfully fun and colourful set. (If one used a beach-casting rod as a selfie-stick, one could take self portraits which include things like the Forth Rail Bridge or the Empire State building in the back-ground. Just an idea.)

Further Multiple Exposure/ICM Investigations
Hi all Thanks all for thoughts, faves, and observations on these. Much appreciated, and always interesting for me to see how these "land". David T: thanks for the observation on the composition of 1. I think you're right about the first pole - it's actually a telegraph pole, and I think you'r...

First batch from new glass
So I've picked up this little trio of lenses for a steal price: The 135mm is being sold on, sticky aperture blades but I'm keeping the other two lenses. I had a Flektogon 35mm before and it's an amazing lens, so versitile, contrasty and has a great close focus ability (circa 10cm!) Unfort...

Ten More Infra Reds
Love IR and after my IR converted K20d calved on me at the weekend, these have me pining to spend money to get back in the saddle so to speak. Who are the pentax IR conversion go to guys nowadays? I'd consider getting my K5 converted .... that's if its a good 'donor' body for the conversion? My ...

You seem to have nailed that one Maria. I've read what the others like but I still go back to the first one. It's like pastel crayons.

Was rather hoping you'd post these, after you mentioned them the other day... Great stuff... I know what you mean re the excitement when you upload them to the computer... What intrigues me is that often ones that I thought were really interesting on the back of a camera can be slightly less so on a...

From opposing vantage points
There is a wonderful, clean, bright, modern car park in Coventry called the Belgrade Plaza. It is 7 floors tall and sits against the ring road from where you have an excellent view. I was struck by the sheer contrast of scenes outside the ring road with those inside it ............ First off, a s...

From opposing vantage points
Nice shots, I lived in Coventry for 6 years up until 4 years ago, Its a strange place, I kind of grew to like it. One of my favorite buildings, near the Train Station, a nice clean and sharp Office Building: by , on Flickr I usually go back at least once a year, I have tended not to tak...

Flower Power
Some gorgeously exotic subjects there Derek, and some lovely close-up photography as well. They're all sharp in interesting places, and I like the variety of focus effects you've created. The backgrounds are all most complementary and you've given some space and context around some. My favourite...

Beautiful colours..... Some great 'big sky' shots there. Compositions and foreground take a back seat to the glorious natural lighting display above!

Thanks Bill We can only compare ourselves to our peers. Alongside them, who I do think are amongst the best in the North East of England, I do fall short on my ability to nail focus, and I believe that is due to the shortcomings of my equipment.

I was referring to panning at high shutter speeds to get a sharp subject rather than a blur effect, irrelevant anyway if against a clear sky. I know it's hard especially at shorter distances ironically. For example a bird on the wing at say 5 metres with a 300mm lens at F8 is (according to look ...
