Farewell Boleyn
Knowing nothing about soccer I had to google "Boleyn" and why it is "farewell". My initial reaction on seeing the name of the thread was it was something to do with Anne of the same name. That aside, I like the second shot with the out of focus logo in the background. Cheers, Kris.

28mm f2.8 SMC Pentax-M Diffraction ?
Yes - next time if I ever go back I will take my Mamiya Press Super 23 with tilting back movement and use the 'Scheimpflug Rule ' !! PS : I was GIVEN three cassettes of Kodak Panatomic -X dated 1989 but I used them all up already !

Todays 5 images
I thought it was only me who used antiquated equipment... ;) Ignore me. Being pedantic again. Back on topic, I love the beach hut abstracts with the second one being, to my eye, marginally better than the first. Best wishes, Kris.

Ribblehead Viaduct
Accidentally bumped into Ribblehead Viaduct whilst retreating from some localised flooding around Hawes in the Yorkshire Dales before Xmas. Struck by the sheer scale of the place. Bleak too. Spent a rather lovely afternoon there - plenty of storms passing through. Will probably head back for a s...

Birds with the K5
As some will have seen on another thread I have been without my K-3 while Pentax seemily did nothing with all December and most of January in their workshop, so in flight shots of short eared owls have been a non starter for me this winter (a shame as its been a good winter for them locally), but i...

Dunstanburgh Multiple Exposure/ICM
The one I keep going back to is #3 but they are all fascinating. The old argument about whether or not photography can be art is easily be resolved by asking a simple question. And that is: are photographers capable of pushing at the boundaries by throwing out old rules and inventing new ones along ...

What I found for £7
That looks very similar to the Hanimex 135mm lens I bought from a car-boot sale some years back - not quite the same, but similar design for the focussing ring, similar design for the aperture ring (although the Hanimex has two). I must get round to trying it out one of these days, especially if the...

One Light, One Tile, Four Glasses
Excellent, lovely tones. A slight criticism though (seeing as it's an arranged image) I would have positioned the glasses so that they were central front to back as i can see the base of the stem on the left more on the rear glasses than the front one. Then again I may have a touch of OCD.:wink: ...

One Light, One Tile, Four Glasses
See, I remember a thread on here a long time back regarding the difference between photography and art ( if there is a difference ). To me, this is what make photography art. Not just the technical ability to produce the shot, but having the idea in the first place. I love this shot! I only wis...

One Light, One Tile, Four Glasses
I couldn't get my first idea right in camera and this just came about by experimentation. Now that is what i love about photography, it can be so fluid in the sense that it can evolve. Sometimes for the better, (sometimes not :shock: ) Lots of my stuff is like that, id have an idea or maybe just a...

One Light, One Tile, Four Glasses
Thanks David So it's not the result you wanted -- it's a jolly good result whatever you wanted ! I started off with a white tile and a blue background back lit, then went white tile, white bg, then this image, diffusing the LED light more, and a black tile.

Mothers Day Roses
Not Chocolates, but flowers :o A nice bunch of roses turned up on the table for Mothers Day, and never a wasted opportunity for Father :wink: ..... A bit of an experiment for me, these are handheld macros entirely lit by flash. K7 & Tamron Adaptall 135mm f2.8 ...

Mothers Day Roses
These came out really well Nigel, considering they were hand held they are quite sharp and they are well lit. I love the red colour of the middle shot! Thanks also Jeremy .... the handholding is a big deal really, as the extra time to set up tripod and precisely focus using Live View would be an iss...

More Of The Roses

More Of The Roses
Super, you nailed the focus in the first one of these with that shallow dof as well, great lighting setup and ever helpful technique breakdown. Love the white rose. Who did you buy the flowers for :lol::lol: Great set. Derek

More Of The Roses
all very good shots Nigel. could you not just set the aperture wide open to focus and then stop back down for the shot? i think with the colour and the shapes within the roses maybe go in closer for some interesting abstracts

THANKYOU Pentax Autofocus & Shake Reduction !
I had to be pleased today, and in awe of the capabilities given to me by my Pentax camera. Before I got the K7 4 years ago there was no way in hell I was ever going to get these shots without having to spend a great deal more money. I had a 70-300mm but never came close to anything like these quick ...
