Nat :)
I haven`t posted here for a while.... mainly because I`ve cheated Pentax with a different system, but I`m back now ;) 1. 2. 3.

Aurora over Mosfellsbær
I was lucky enough to be in Iceland last week when the northern lights put on an amazing show for four days running. These were captured on the Wednesday when (as I discovered when I got back) various media outlets in the UK were talking about how the lights in Reykjavík were turned out for better ...

Pentax Stereo Adapter experiment
Indeed 8) I wish I could find a better way of doing 3-D on a 2-D screen. Suppose it might work with a sort of virtual reality Viewmaster style attachment on a mobile phone. Alternatively, take it on Kodachrome slide film .... oh it's gone. Back to the wiggle then! If you wiggle in time it ...

Dungeness, Kent
Great job, a really good collection. You'll definitely have to go back and spend a little time there - there is so much to see. Phil

Dungeness, Kent
Thanks again, lads. Your kind words mean a lot to me. Yes, Nigel, I'm glad I had the K5. I know the future is likely to be mirror-less, but at the moment, nothing beats the modern DSLR for handling, ease of use and reliable results. Just so long as one is in reach of personal transport. We're ...

Jerry's Point, Poole Harbour
A tranquil spot on the outer Harbour, near to the Harbour Mouth and part of the Studland Heath Natural Reserve, early one morning back in August I found this peaceful little beach near the Ferry Road ..... the mini bay curves around to a spit named Jerrys Point. Brownsea Island is in the distance, l...

Jerry's Point, Poole Harbour
Thanks :) Yes Andrew, I went for DOF .....I have a good tried and tested way with the 14mm now, just look at something that's just beyond the foreground interest and get it in focus there, and at F13 it usually works out well in focus right up to the bottom. Chris, thanks for those points .... Yes...

West Pier alight!
Spent a couple of hours down at the ruined pier last night. It was lit up for its 150th birthday (since opening). All with K5ii and Tamron 28-75 unless otherwise stated. WB mainly left on daylight. Thought I'd post a few shots. C & C welcome! 1 - this one is in the Gallery; 2 3 ...

Kingfisher and Infrared
Thanks everyone. Think I might enjoy this IR malarky. It may not be too apparent, but in the swan picture there are two large cygnets at the far RH side. The adult swan was chasing them off. Barrie, as to processing, I shoot in DNG. I used the DNG Profile editor to adjust the WB profile for the c...

Yellow honeyeater
Very good indeed! I like the out of focus background, it's a nice bokeh effect.

Yorkshire Dales '16
Lovely area, I must get back up there again one day. Interesting shots. The low contrast processing is unusual, as is the composition.

Fall in The Rockies.
The trip, there and back, took about 9 hours or so. It was just a fabulous day, unforgettable. I shot about 150 images - I am so pleased with the results, and will be committing a selection to large prints and canvas!

A Bit of a Challenge
I watched an interesting video on YouTube a while ago which suggested that if you wanted to improve as a photographer you need to get back to basics. This meant using a fixed focal length 35mm lens for a day and nothing else. I decided to give this a go last week when we went to North Wales. I du...

A Bit of a Challenge
An interesting experiment and a wonderful set of diverse images! My everyday kit consists of the K5-iis and only two lenses, the SMC K30/2.8 and the HD DA 15/4, in other words a "normal" lens and a wide angle lens. With the K30/2.8 I use green button metering and "catch in focus", and do not find...

A Bit of a Challenge
Great variety and quality in your images! Without the back story how many of us would have guessed 1. They were all taken with a single prime lens, and 2. They were taken with a camera that many would consider 'old' technology. Just goes to prove that your best lens is the one you have on the ...

A Bit of a Challenge
Thanks again, John, Peter, Steve and Nigel. not sure what you meant by saying "using an actual 35mm lens is beyond a joke." That would give you the normal standard lens equivalent of 50/55mm which most film cameras used to be supplied with. Do you mean 28 (35 equiv) is your own preference as many ...

A Bit of a Challenge
Months late I know, back in October of 2016 when my wife was very ill, I had other matters on my mind. These are superb, taken in North Wales, an area I love, and featuring the landscape and narrow gauge steam trains. What could be better. Your single lens challenge worked very well, this is an esc...

NYMR / Pickering War Weekend (October 2016)
Thank you both. I must say I've never considered myself as a street photographer. I guess the difference with an event like this is that those dressing up must almost expect to have a camera focussed on them whereas in a normal street scene some might find it intrusive. I'm not really sure why so...

NYMR / Pickering War Weekend (October 2016)
Great images John. Shame I missed you. There weren't many Petaxians around - probably just you and I. Seems like it, I didn't spot any others around either. I only went to Pickering around lunchtime as the rain put me off earlier on and Pickering is only around a 30 minute drive away for me so I di...

After The War (Weekend)
Didn't know you had a Helios 44/2 but even they tend to have the main subject in focus. Looks like the shutter managed to fire while the lens was still in motion - do you have it set up to permit this? One tree FOUR cows and two crows :D
