More Poppies from Surrey (Image heavy)
Very nice soft focus effect in the first one and the flowers close in the foreground have great impact. The reds throughout are bright and bold. I also like the more traditional 'postcard' style of the last one, which has a well balanced layout. No 2 probably needed the full (or half) macro treat...

Farne islands Part 1
The Eider ducklings are very appealing, and the photo is just right: very sharp with the background nicely out of focus. You have far more skill than I at capturing birds in flight: the guillemot is excellent. I like the shag too. Reminds one of the story at Whitby a while ago, when a young shag ...

Farne islands Part 1
Love the shag image. Would love to see a mono conversion of it :wink: Much appreciated Gareth. In hindsight I should have stopped down further. Should have had the feathers sharp from front to back. Especially for B&W

Farne Islands Part 3
Great shots again Alan... And they say Pentax cameras are slow to focus on moving subjects.. So an extra pat on the back...

The Very Last One
Thanks for the comments folks. I used to take a DSLR with me but EasyJet's baggage restrictions mean it's hard to squeeze one in with everything else which needs to go. I have learnt my lesson, though, and will not go away without some form of back-up. Yesterday I hunted down my old Pentax S1 (remem...

So sorry to learn of your damaged camera. It is often useful to have something small, to slip into a pocket or a pouch in a shoulder-bag. Some miscellanous comments: a while ago the local university library started allowing readers to use cameras, but strictly no click-clack SLRs or anything tha...

Aberthaw - The Leys
I think its ok as is, but it might be better with an addition, why not try it and see. Post both back in here for a direct comparison and feedback.

Something Different - Flowers
Up to now, I've used my G5 for model/close-up work, mainly for the depth of field. Anyway, I thought I'd try using the K-S1. This is the result. It's a reworking of an idea, and, I think, is a slightly better version. Still needs work (to throw the background out of focus etc), but I'm getting there...

Something Different - Flowers
The lighting on the pot and brushes is lovely. To get the background OOF with the settings you have used, if you have enough of the material, just move it back so rather than having a separation distance of 30cm from subject to backdrop, increase that :wink:

Spitfire flight 2, still image heavy (sorry!)
Thanks again for your comments. Propeller movement would have been nice, but I am just happy I managed a few photos in focus:lol:.

Farne Islands.
Yes a wonderful experience. But with my K5ii I failed miserably to track the birds in flight. All my images turned out to be out of focus. I used multipoint focus. Rather than single point. With longer lenses the set up just didnt focus fast enough. I was hoping for some pointers from the more exper...

Farne Islands.
Hi Stuart, I use back button focussing ( AF set to C ) with a single point, takes a little getting used to, basically its a case of holding your thumb on the " AF " button on the back of the camera whilst having your trigger finger primed and ready to shoot, track the birds as normal and fire whe...

Macro
A couple from Sunday & yesterday..... A fly, settled on a grass seed head. Saw this unfortunate creature on the front doorstep, apparently exhausted. I mixed some sugar-water up & put it close by. The bee started to lap(?) it up & when I returned to check on its progress, it was gone....

A couple more from the garden shoot with my eldest daughter, fortunately in cooperative mood (not sure exactly what bribe was used ! ) ... Pleased with these ones in terms of the light and there's less distraction in the backgrounds ..... Pentax K7 / SMC DA18-55 AL WR / ISO 100 / F6.7 / 1/90th se...
