Living room fun
I agree on the slight toning improvements on those newer ones Gareth .... Nicely done and timed, the result has a sophistication and style that would look good as wall art in a posh location, gallery or venue for example. My idea regarding the editing and/or flash exposure, (however its best to ...

The Essence of Santorini
That's a lovey selection, expertly photographed. I'm sure you have many more beauties from Santorini in your portfolio. Did you only have one camera body with you and no back up? I couldn't do that. bugger the weight David PS I've just spotted your earlier post with the cats. You obviously also...

Andromeda
All done without the use of a tracking mount the Astrotracer really is that good. :D I started with the DA*50-135 to get Andromeda in the centre of the frame and then zoomed to 135 and again made sure it was central. Then popped on the DA*300 and took the 30 second exposure, initially when you look ...

Andromeda
I'm really impressed by these so thought I would have a go last night in the back garden, not a dark sky location but a clear night after the street lights go off. The exposure of 30 secs at 2.8 worked ok but I struggled with focusing, in live view the screen at night had a load of white specks like...

You should be able to point at a bright star and the AF will focus on it, keep very still and the camera will focus. On a tripod is a good way. Also you could pick a point in the distance that is far enough away to get infinity. Also you don't need to go to a wide aperture or silly high ISO either...

Have you got focus peaking turned on Rob? Turn it off for night time ;) If its on, it'll look just the same on an iPad.

First Few from the D FA 28-105
HD Pentax-D FA 28-105 1:3.5-5.6 ED DC WR I've just had it a few days, and have been trying it out and getting used to it. Just a few photos trying out various focal lengths and apertures, focus distances etc. Here's some of the keepers taken on a couple of walk arounds .... Obviously I'm not s...

First Few from the D FA 28-105
Thanks Philip :wink: I'm pleased to say that there is no software blurring with these, it is completely from the lens optics. In those where the background has dark shadows I used noise reduction to remove colour noise, but this did not change the bokeh effect or add to the blur significantly. Thi...

Thank you David and Ronnie 8) Ronnie. I decided on the white vignette as without it the image was nice but it allowed the eye to wander around the image more as there are details / textures there in the hands and fleece so by including it, not only does it offer a softer look, but it draws the ey...

Using a m50 f/1.7
I use both my m 50 1.7 and DA50 and the older lens has the edge when it comes to sharpness - just. For everyday use the DA is easier and quicker but I still hark back to film days and enjoy the challenge of using a manual lens.

Flowers
Some lovely blurred backgrounds throwing the subjects into focus. :) The most successful for me is the 2nd, because you've brought the flower into full prominance, a good size within the frame, and its sharp in the right place. The others lose impact by being relatively small in the frame. Ni...
