The Hawk Conservancy Trust
Another great set, and clearly the techniques have worked. The back button AF is one of those things we all should discover as soon as possible ... It seems so much more logical to divide the focusing, metering and capture actions. Sometimes I have to put focusing back into the shutter button for...

Motorsport: Snetterton, August 1
That tree half looks as though it will uproot and chase the cars in a kinda 'Hammer Horror' sort of way Officially, Karlo, it is known as The Snetterton Scary Tree - it even has its own Facebook page. The circuit is fairly windswept and the tree came close to collapse after one of last winter's stor...

Hook Head Lighthouse
I spent six and a half hours driving in the pouring rain to go to Hook Head and back just to try and get some shots. It was the only day i could get away and of course it opened the heavens. All shot with k5iis and pentax f 28mm. I really really got soaked, but i thoroughly enjoyed the experience,...

Hook Head Lighthouse
Cheers Nigel, it was a case of I'm here now, i wasn't going to turn around and drive back with nothing. I didn't mind getting wet and it had the bonus of everyone else that was there were sitting in there cars or campers around the far side of the lighthouse. There was something awesome about the ...

Tiger cubs and Polar bears @ YWP
What a fantastic day at my local Zoo (literally 3mins away). I went with the intention of trying to capture the tiger cubs and seeing if I could finally see the polars actually doing something, I seem to keep missing all the fun! I was extremely lucky to see the animals so active! Here are a few im...

As I've been suffering from a bad back, after doing some weeding in the garden, your thread inspired me to have a try at FS some flowers to death as well! They didn't turn out anything like yours, but I'm still pleased with the results anyway! The original images were of a Sunflower, a Lily Pad, a...

Hi mudge, they're excellent, no difference in quality between these and what I did. #3 the daisy I think is my favourite, I'm just back from a fire so I'm on a pad not pc so I can't load any new ones at the minute. It's not until you get to the blending stage that you can see which mode will give t...

Welcome back! We all go through such periods, but usually bounce back!

Little Owls
Thanks again guy. Much appreciated. Been back today with my big gun, but as is the way of things, they didn't put on the same level of performance

Helios 44-2 2/58 +K7
Beautiful lenses but a bit prone to go stiff if the grease dries out. Dissassembly is relatively simple if you want to tighten up the bits and pieces. You start by grabbing the front end and the back end and twisting the whole lot (hard) so both halves come apart ! Lots of examples on the internet.

Good captures, Don. 500mm focal length, which lens was this shot with? thanks Steve, I was using the Tamron 70-200 with 1.7 converter as I wanted to be able to pull back for the big C17 but alas it came in from a different direction and was a poor shot.

Yes, I think the crop works better, although it's your image and in the end where you crop is where it pleases you most. The hotspot is unfortunate, but I know what you mean about the sunny weather being what it was. We are only in these places for a very short time and sometimes we just have to ...

Kestrel
Went back to the Little Owls, this time armed with the K3, 560mm and tripod. As is the way, while I got some shots, then aren't as dramatic as on the previous visit. I did have the K5iis, DA*300 and 1.4xTC with me too, which is much easier to handhold. Being mobile, I managed to get a few Kestrel...

Durlston, Jurassic Coastline
Just back last week from the family break in Swanage, Dorset. First shots hot off the press are from the bay and Headland to the southwest of Swanage, Durlston. This is now a Country Park and the Victorian Castle building high on the tip has transformed into an impressive visitor centre promoting al...

Durlston, Jurassic Coastline
Its an area I have never visited but I'm going to have to! . Completely agree! So scenic, and very nicely captured here, Nigel. The clarity is very impressive. I can only thoroughly recommend the Purbeck area of Dorset, both for photography and a family holiday away from it all ... But don't tell ...

Tre Ceiri Re-visited 2015
Nice shots there Adrian :D I haven't checked mine yet as I am still working through our holiday snaps :shock: It was nice to meet up again, as you have noticed we are prone to last minute decisions which explains the late contact :oops: Thanks Stu, got back and Toby was looking for his ball ...

Some nice knockers in Barcelona
Lovely sheen and ' polished' tones. These sort of subjects make great little mini projects. After that you have to go back and do the actual whole doors!
