Toby shot using HSS
Fabulous images, these are some of the best I've seen where flash has been used to great effect. Very natural and balanced looking. Regards David I think there's a fair amount of beginner's luck involved (the number of binned images far outnumber the keepers). Alas the fun has to stop, back ...

New tubes
A 1:1 macro lens PLUS tubes?? So you've got more than 1:1 magnification, perhaps quite a bit more! There's good focus on the very centre of the flower, and the colour version has a gentle, pastel sort of hue. I struggle to see the point of mono flower photos, so the colour is my obvious choice .....

New tubes
Hi Derek Great to see you making use of the tubes! I really must make the time to do more macro this year, it's one of my photography passions and we have a back garden that's ideal for it (lots of semi wild areas). The lighting looks to be quite even, if a little subdued? Off camera flash i...

New 100mm macro + DIY flash diffuser
Thanks for the comments. The lighter, warmer evening are making it much easier to get out and photograph more :) I'm still struggling a bit to get the focus correct. However, I'm now waiting for me new S-type focus screen from FocusingScreen which should help pin down the focus better.

New 100mm macro + DIY flash diffuser
Wonderful rich colours - and I can't see anything wrong with your focussing Thanks, but that's because I left out the 100+ images where everything was out of focus :D

Some random shots from NZ
Love it, you seem to have taken in a lot on your visit. I recently got to Milford Sound and it was rare sunny day. I think I like the atmosphere of your weather/shot more. It seemed harsh and raw, almost like going back in time. I like the Mt Taranaki shot too. Nice light. Hope you had a goo...

the one thing with the Sigma is you can switch it to MF for use with "Catch in Focus", quite often useful in macro shooting. this is not possible with the Pentax 100mm lens as far as i know.

Great shots Derek, I like all of them. The Sigma 105 is a great lens and useful for so much more than macros. Try it for portraiture, it is probably the best portrait lens I've ever used. The skin tones it produces are sublime. If you're into macro, have you seen the threads from a couple of...

It's a zoom, ideally of around 35-80 focal length with the glass removed, but aperture working. This is mounted to the camera as normal then mounted onto the filter ring of the lens is a reversed enlarger lens. I use a Nikon F2.8, can't recall the exact model. This setup allows for sharp images a...

JAK, the camera has to be in AF mode for catch in focus to work also shutter release button set to enable focus not set to off for back button focusing. so camera in AF ,lens set to MF then adjust focus or simply move the camera and when it hits camera fires this was using CIF, Tamron Adaptall...

I can empathise with you Derek on the 'Home Improvements' front. I seem to have done little else for the past 2 years, converted the entire cellar areas of our Victorian house into a music room, bar area, laundry room and workshop / storage area. Very hard work, good luck with your improvements an...

from Gloucester Docks and Folk Museum
the museum has an eclectic mix from 16th century wall paintings to the 50's / 60's. your ticket gets you free admission for a year from the day you visit. the building housed Bishop Hooper the night before he was burnt at the stake. some of the displays are awkward to photograph due to tight space s...

All taken with the K-5 and the K 30mm 2.8 Its a struggle at times to get the focus bang on with manual focusing but this lens is delivering beautiful tones that makes it worthwhile. Im going to persevere and see how I go. All thoughts welcome 1 2 3 4 5 ...
