THANKYOU Pentax Autofocus & Shake Reduction !
These are lovely shots Nigel. I got some of these a few years ago through a back window with the same combination (K7 and Tamron). SR worked its magic for me too! I am not a birding expert, but these (and finches generally I believe) love Niger Seeds. They may take a while to be attracted to the fe...

THANKYOU Pentax Autofocus & Shake Reduction !
Thanks everyone for your responses :) Clearly sweet little birdies are a popular photographic subject here at PU ! John, thanks, and I would imagine that actually finding the birds and getting close enough is as much the challenge as the specific camera skills .... Thanks also Don, I'll know w...

THANKYOU Pentax Autofocus & Shake Reduction !
Thanks Alan and Gary, glad you saw them :) Now Alan, I can sense your worry, you've finally got some proper competition on your hands ..... And don't imagine it will just stop with a few Goldfingers .... No, I'll be at my back window now every day just poised for when all those Kinghunters and Shed...

Does this work for you?
Mhm....I can see a potential in this shot, but to be honest, don't think it works too well as is. The exposure is not long enough to result in smoothness across the board. It's very uneven. Also, not sure what the focus point was supposed to be on? Generally love pictures taken straight into...

Does this work for you?
It does and it doesn't work for me. I'm impressed by how little flare there is with a 10stop ND into the sun though! It is the sort of thing I might well have tried had I been there myself. However as Mag07 asks; 'what is the focus point was supposed to be on?' It might work better if this were d...

Lexus RC-F
I tend to blur out any details that might identify a person who just happens to be in the image. Either slightly blur the person's face or the registration number of a private vehicle. However, I note that "Geograph" are not keen on any blurring or cloning. This is in their FAQ list: "Some subm...

Fun with Red Squirrels
We are currently on holiday on Brownsea Island so we are getting plenty of time to play with the squirrels! There are hundreds of images to go through which I'll probably do when I get back, but until then, here's an idea of how much fun we're having and how close we could get! New Mascot! ...

Woodland Walkabout
The first woodland series I've shot this season, back at my favourite location at Coombe Woods near Croydon. We're getting a few nice days now, and the light has been lovely on some of them. All shots with the K7 and either SMC F35-70mm 1:3.5-4.5, or the close-ups with the Tamron Adaptall 135m...

Meet The Shopkins
These tiny creatures have become most prolific around our place recently, in fact I think they could have a nest somewhere ..... there always seems to be more of them appearing. They can be quite difficult to see in detail, so I thought they might make a good 'close-up portrait' project :o:idea: ...

Meet The Shopkins
Cheers Nigel, i had a look at the linked demo, very comprehensive and well presented as ever. I think it is something i will have to revisit whenever i get a chance to buy some flash units and triggers, i think the best way for me to learn is to actually use them and try different settings and set...

Meet The Shopkins
The latest Shopkins surprise was a mega box set of 40 that Santa brought ... And he ate his two mins pies, drank his milk and the reindeer ate all of their carrot. (apart from the very end piece with the green bit on, which they don't like). Apart from that there have been a few little double pack...

Crime Scene Easter Sunday
Thanks -- I don' t increase the 'Saturation# either just check the 'Levels' but I usually get the exposure RIGHT after many years of taking Slide Snaps starting in late 1950's with 'Ferraniacolor' By the way -- a member of Brentwood Photographic Club who is trying to get work as a 'Freelance' got ...
