Wet day indoors
Thanks, Nigel - and sorry I forgot to include any info! I was using my K-3, Pentax 16-85mm lens and camera-mounted Metz 58 AF-1. To begin with, the flash was far too powerful and the posts above were all with the flash at 1/4 power, bouncing the flash off the ceiling with the diffuser in place. The...

December shadows
Thanks for your comments, guys. I should have seen the "greenness" was overpowering. Had another go at a couple which I think look much better now: 1 2 4 6 7 In fact, it was pulling back the yellow that made the difference. Regards,

Last few from 2015
Thanks for the comments!:D Fortunately Grey Squirrels are not too difficult to get close to compare to the native Reds, either a camouflage suit and mesh face veil or covering yourself in netting does the job to get you really close up (...and my irresistible homemade crunchy nut paste helps as w...

End of 2015
Arriving at Whitby just after 12:30 we had difficulty parking as it was very busy! The weather had already started to change so nothing new there for NYE at Whitby. Very windy up near the abbey with gusts exceeding 35mph. So a few shots to mark the event. busy street A year soon to ...

Black Water Splash
Happy New Year, All! Not a very nice day here in Wiltshire, so..... A couple of images of water splashes, in a black cup. A plastic pot, with a pin-hole in the bottom, held in my Wimberly Plamp ii (my Christmas present / new toy!) Open desk diary b/g to give "contour" lines effect. ...

K-50 + M 50/f1.7 + Extension tube(s)
Having bought some used extension tubes cheaply a couple of years ago, i've been meaning to try them out ever since. Have just spent an hour late afternoon indoors playing around. Its quite good fun and very addictive. These are some of the better ones from 44 images. I would expect to do much bett...

Portrait of a lady
Some constructive opinion: 1. the background is distracting especially the white patch top right and the one above the head 2. The face does not seem to be in focus. Not saying I would do any better. Dave

Portrait of a lady
The backgrounds not that bad, nicely out of focus at least. Personally I'd crop off a lot of the right hand side, close up to her hair, then cloning out that annoying highlight would be easy. EDIT: should also add that I find it difficult to shoot portraits at f2.8, you have to get the focus b...

More Trees
I did look longer at that one, and its almost like an aerial view over some dense forested wilderness . But I felt its was weakened by the loss of focus in the top right corner, and a little at bottom left ..... could be distortion or slight camera twist when clicking? In any case perhaps a smaller ...

More Trees
Thanks all for thoughts and comments on these thus far... very useful... Nigel, excellent point re loss of focus top right/bottom left corner (I hadn't noticed it bottom left, but you're dead right)... I included the photo despite it tbh as I liked the composition and the shot (tried cropping it out...

Street Stranger Portraits
There's no privacy law in the UK and permission is not needed to publish these photos. It's something that might be different in other countries. I like them all apart from the last one, where the focus has missed the eyes and the hat is sharper.

Brighton
On the contrary to the two previous expressions of preference.........that photo, contains all the elements we look for in it's rawest form, and you have delivered an abundance of photogenic revelry. In time, you will focus on specific forms and factors, and might even become as anally correct a...

SUNNY AFTERNOON OVER DORSET
Nice angled lighting makes the ground textures sizzle and gives good contrast. Its a beautiful area, and you caught it at a good time. I was so amazed to see the Chapel poking through the trees inside the Tropical Gardens when we visited in 2014. Did you get any wide view shots from further back...

Winter sunrise and a new pentax user
Hi Simon - yep, she is over the moon with it and already full of ideas and compositions to try. The sunrise photo was taken on an early morning walk over the local forest - the K5 delivered some cracking images straight out the box (mind you, everytime I go to try and use it I push the the AE-L b...
