Film Street Stranger Portraits
2 is my favourite. Though I cant see why you would focus on the brickwork... But street photography is tough... Keep them coming...

Swans are a bit of a hardy perennial, and it's hard to make a picture of a swan that is going to make anybody stop dead in their tracks and say: "WOW!". Nonetheless, there is a pleasing simplicity to the second swan picture. The dogs are a good capture. I might have cropped to remove the step o...

Recent Q Stuff
I had the MX-1 awhile back, does the Q have the same sensor? Top photos great, what lens did you use?

The tree surgeon
The tree surgeons set about thinning an enormous oak tree that lives next to a public footpath near the house. It took three of them most of the day! It gave the K3-ii and a DA 55 - 300 something to do that was more challenging than usual. I think they coped quite well considering it was straight i...

A few macros
Hi David, the ext tubes have no contacts. F32 set on aperture ring. Will do a quick check to see if it's operating as it should. Keep in mind these are at max magnification, closest focus I could achieve. Will let you know. Cheers

A few macros
Thanks Derek, I have spent a lot of time practising macro in our back garden, with all manner of different equipment combinations. I did once have a Sigma 105 DG EX macro lens on the end of a full set of tubes and found out that it was always operating at F2.8, regardless of the aperture set on the...

A few macros
So hopefully now new tubes are on the way I'll be able to get more Dof. Cheers I think it is the lack of DOF that make these images. Mmm I know what you mean. But another stop or 2 would make it easier to focus, and should be a little sharper without losing the Look, I hope.

A few macros
Derek, i think you will find using a Macro lens plus ext tubes will give a very narrow DOF no matter what aperture you use purely because of the high magnification which is why macro shooters now tend to use focus stacking to get sharpness all the way through the shot. this is Nass's site , a lot ...

A few macros
Thanks for the links and tips guys. I do know that with tubes I wont have a huge dof, but I often like the weird resulting effect that extreme narrow dof gives. Looking forward to trying out the new tubes with contacts with my kit. I also have a raynox dcr 250 and 505. The 250 is useful but so ...

Street Stranger Portraits (on digital)
Great collection - as always. I'm puzzzled by your comment about difficulty in focussing with live view. Why use live view with a K5? I would simply rock backwards and forwards as if shooting a macro. With that manual lens you could also use catch in focus.

Some macro / closeup photos from my allotment
These links are for a pair of sites that I found highly useful when learning, especially the second one, the author of which used to be a member here I believe. There are a fair few Pentaxians on the first site too. The Pentax f4 100mm macro lens comes up on Ebay fairly often and is well worth ac...

Vic, 'Replica' Manx Norton's have been in existence for some years and provide the same experience to today's riders as they would have done back in the 50's and with greater reliability and safety. Advances in metallurgy and the onset of computers and lasers allows tighter tolerances and better pr...
