Llangollen Classic Transport Weekend
Not sure Don, I've never liked milk without tea in it, so I didn't want to try it. Cheers all, lots of nice scenery along the railway line and I'm a bit tempted to go back when the show isn't on and have more of a look around. Trouble is, when it's decent weather, it's busier so puts me off, with...

Paws for Thought - Red Squirrels
Went to Brownsea Island back in April for the 2nd time to shoot the Red Squirrels, it is becoming such an addiction that we have booked a weeks holiday on the island itself for next year! One of the main attractions for me is that they are such little characters and great fun to be around, so I s...

Paws for Thought - Red Squirrels
Thanks for the positive comments, glad you like them! Excellent! Got them at the Isle of Wight. Am down Bournemouth way next week - do they show well in July there do you know? Dave Don't have a clue, only been in October and April and they are quite used to people being around. They can get qui...

Microscope mode WG-4
This is the black and yellow common garden spider of N. America. One of the orb weavers, this specimen is 1" long which is what 2.3 cm? It will grow to 8cm over the summer if successful. Taken a meter from my back door it cooperated quite well with me placing the lens a cm away from touching it....

STARS & STRIPES CLASSIC AMERICAN CAR SHOW - Tatton Park 2015.
Hi All Apologies for not posting any images for a while, however, having found myself at a loose end for Saturday, myself, my brother in law, Geoff and friend Aaron (of canon persuasion) headed over to the show noted above :) Here are some images from my K10 and 28mm f3.5 mf lens, I have not ...

The 2015 British Grand Prix (plus 250-mile diversion)
Didn't take quite as many shots as usual this year, partly because I nipped away from Silverstone on Saturday morning, drove the 125 miles to Oulton Park, did some photography there and then headed back to Northants (as you do). Here, then, are a few bits from the weekend as a whole... 1 - Lewi...

More bees etc
You certainly seem to have got the hang of rocking backwards and forwards (and swearing to yourself when the bee moves or the wind blows). 2 and 3 take the prize for me. As to hit and miss camera settings, I leave it on Av and stop down as far as I dare (until the meter shows about 1/20th sec) to m...

12 Pentax K3 Ambassador Photos
I'm also a bit late seeing these, apologies for that Bill, but it was worth the wait I think! This is a fabulous set of images, I think 4, 7, 11 and 12 are absolute belters and the rest are not far behind. I have the K-3 / 12-24 combination but unfortunately I've been so busy renovating the hous...

Halifax flowers
Everyone has, rightly, commented about the detail not being blown (difficult). They are all standard 'portraits' of the bloom concerned. The Tamron ought to be able to focus in quite tightly on individual details - many of which are fascinating, visually (poppy centres being a case in point). It's a...

From the hothouse
Thanks for the positive comments, all. I can see that the dark background wouldn't be to everyone's taste, but the original background was completely distracting and not nice, even out of focus, so it was a bit of an experiment to try and make the subject stand out better. David and Nigel, the le...

Flippin 'eck. Dunno how you managed to hold it so steady AND keep the focus.

Recent Airshow pics taken with the 150-450mm ... my thoughts (Image heavy)
Mike, great set of pics as usual. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the new lens. Interesting comment about the SR. I took quite a few shots with the SR both on and off on my K50...I ended up with whole batches of very OOF shots ...haven't had chance yet to examine the EXIF data to see whether ...

Last of Season Colour Splash
Thankyou Philip, for coming to the rescue :D I'm sure you're absolutely right about the better ones and why. I'm glad to add these to my 2015 collection, and as we head away to Dorset again I will (hopefully have enough time to!) turn my attentions back to landscapes.

Superbly done, #2's excellent, I use a K5iis and found back button focussing works a treat, only tried it last year and my hit rate got 75% better, i.e keep your thumb on the AF button on the back of the camera whilst also your trigger finger on the shutter button. Takes a little getting used to ...

Thanks for the feedback guys :) Just left me wondering how the back af button makes a difference? What is it doing different? Not sure I understand :s

Opening two images are really nice, but then again the set as a whole is lovely. This is the same set up as mine. In the menu change the shutter release button to fire the shutter only and not half depress focus. Then just use the AF button on the rear to focus. Massively increases your hit rate ...

Well, went and had a go with back button focus today. Love it, I don't know what it is but it seems more responsive and somehow and just easier to get shots in focus. Get tip Chris, Cheers!
