Avocets
Had a couple of days out this week and took some decent birds but most interestingly I did get a few shots of the iconic RSPB emblem the Avocet. They are a very delicate but busy bird, feeding almost non stop; It was very comical to see them drinking though, as you can see in some of the phot...

K-70 and 18-270mm lens
If the first shot is a crop, Stan, I'd go back to the original and include more at the bottom of the frame. This will give better lead-in lines. The composition is a bit tight. Were I to return, I'd move to the left a little to feature the front of the cottages, but this may not be possible. Looks ...

K-70 and 18-270mm lens
Thanks for the feedback Andrew. It is a lovely area and one I hope to get back to soon. Can't get further to the left will try and get a differ pov as I get nearer to the cottages. I was travelling light when I went there but think perhaps a wider angle lens might be useful. I have a couple of image...

K-70 and 18-270mm lens
I love that first image Stan it has real atmosphere. I agree with Andrew, it's a bit tight at the bottom but for me its a very small niggle. Why is it nosy at just 200 ISO? David Think I've discovered the source of the noise. For some reason when I went back to look at the original dng file in phot...

Perseid Meteors
Far better without the light pollution but still good examples of whats achievable. I was going to try myself up in the lakes a few weeks back but some idiot forgot to take the manual and I didn't have a clue :oops: Will have to do a bit of experimenting in the garden first I think.

Perseid Meteors
Thanks all :) Alan, in the menu is the precise calibration. Do that first then put the camera in bulb. If it's pitch black and no light pollution then use the lens pretty much wide open, focus on the moon if possible or if not, use live view and focus as best you can on a bright star. Then use bu...

First Three from Studland Heath
Just got back from the family holiday in Swanage, Dorset, our regular place. The K7 was working hard as ever, but I didn't get the chance for many shots that didn't include sandcastles, buckets, spades and funfair rides :| :roll: But I managed to creep out as the sun rose one morning to Studlan...

First Three from Studland Heath
Hi Rob ... I'd say battery saving is one factor for me. I find on a shoot like this I can quickly use up my batteries (I only have 2) if I do too much Live View, especially if using Live View for focussing a lot. On this particular shoot I was able to frame and compose OK through the viewfinder....

First Three from Studland Heath
A K1 !! Lucky you :). The composition shift has been around at least as far back as the K7 .... I've never used it :oops: :lol: Yes, I did see a feature on Pentax Forums about it being used as a sort of perspective correction too, like a tilt-shift lens, and that looked very promising .... limit...

Not getting out much.
Thanks for those encouraging words Martin. Sometimes there seems to me to be no improvement for days but to others who have not seen Sheila for a few days there seems to be a big improvement. Then suddenly she will wake up one morning and she does something new. Physically she has been fairly good f...

Blyth Tall Ships. Will add to thread over the BH weekend
Thanks for feedback everyone. Much appreciated. I agree with the favourites picked out. The event is a one off for Blyth. Hopefully, it'll come back sometime. This was the smaller "Regatta" version of the Tall Ships. They are at Sunderland in 2018, and I believe that's the full event http://www.t...

Milky Way in the Afan Valley
The other night my wife woke me at 4 am to say she had never seen the stars so bright through our window, and she was right. As I blearily peered out I thought now is the time to try the astrotracer but to my shame the thought of getting dressed and getting the kit all set up was too much and I rol...

Just Say Awww.....
I adore cats but my dogs don't! No 1 is my favourite and i think it would look just as good in B&W, having said that they are all wonderful pictures. I would just love to pick that poor white kitten up and nurse it back to health though and that's a super shot too :cry: Do you mind me asking what le...

Tall Ships at Blyth
Nice, especially the last one. Well caught light. I pretty much came back with few similar shots. The website of the event did very little to clearly state the most important info and arriving at the docks with the crowds was a very 'special' experience accompanied by music so loud one could ...
